    4/20 blaze it

    I know I'm a day late.

    What do you think of weed? Do you smoke it? Have you ever? Are you a stoner?

    Should it be legalized?

    I have never tried it, and I don't see the point in it.

    Do you see the point in anything?

    I can see why people might want to get drunk or get on those raving drugs (sound like GS there), but the effects of weed - as I understand them - don't strike me as being particularly useful for anyone not in some sort of chronic pain.

    I steer clear of any and all blokes in their 30s and 40s who smoke daily because they are either boring or a ticking time bomb of elevated anxiety and frustration levels.

    I do smoke quite a lot when I can get it, but I'm not arsed when I can't. It's been about 3-4 months since I last smoked and while it'd be nice if I could, I don't really care at the moment. I do think it should be legalised but I try to stay away from the dullards who make it their entire identity.

    There are different types of plant that produce different effects. You're thinking of 'Indica' there, which is used to treat pain and will make you want to do nothing but eat biscuits and go to sleep. 'Sativa' is the complete opposite, it's far closer to a 'raving drug' than it is to 'Indica'.

    I've tried both types and don't really like either as a recreational thing, but they should definitely be completely legal.

    I did it for a year or two during teenagehood. Then I realized how stupid and boring my friends and I were becoming so I decided to stop. Don't really care for it.

    What did I miss?

    Im talking about blokes I've had to shed since school or blokes I've kept on the outer over the last couple of years.

    I definitely know people who are very high functioning and smoke once or twice a week. A decade or twi of daily smoking changes or stunts a person.

    Never really appealed to me but I'll dabble at times. It definitely helps with hangovers and come-downs, but I wouldn't go out of my way to buy some. It should be legal since its pretty harmless. I've definitely seen it change people, though, but they were tanking it daily for years.

    Not too late to turn the corner. Psychiatrists have good drugs to help with detox.

    It should be legal here too. Especially because it's a lucky dip every time a Bikie or Vietnamese bloke moves the stuff around.

    There is definitely room for pot wankers to add to my list of coffee wankers and beer wankers.

    It should be legalised and highly taxed.

    Smoked it like a train back in the 80's but we all reached a crossroads when most of the crowd I hung about with got the itch to go onto harder stuff, so I went the opposite direction and left it so.

    Smoked a lot in the mid noughties but more as an accompaniment to beer and/or Lewis's 'Rave Drugs'. Nowadays maybe 6 or 7 days a year might include having a smoke whilst at festivals or the odd special occasion does for me, and it's never a main feature of the day, just a nice accompaniment (weddings in particular seem to be accompanied by the 30-something blokes crowding together for a smoke in the wee small hours).

    Legalisation feels like a 'when' rather than an 'if'. There is no real moral battleground in those of us under 50 in the U.K. and use is largely in-policed these days. Legalising and regulating makes sense. It would be nice to be able to hit up an Amsterdam style coffee shop and sample different types of weed in comfort as a treat every so often, but first and foremost we need to stop the prohibition funding organised crime when it's in no way necessary.

    It'd fine. Like any chemical stimulant if you take it to extremes it's probably not ok (same as being a pisshead or burning your lungs off with fags). I'd legalise it and collect the tax money.

    I think the ancillary effects as opposed to say, booze, are far less likely to be detrimental to the wider public. You don't get stoners smashing up bus stops or lamping people in kebab shops, plus there are medical benefits for pain management.

    If I could buy it legally from a shop I definitely would. Just to have quite smoking evenings when I'm on my own? Bliss!

    I know of dependant stoners who have become volitile human beings after going dry for a few days.

    It should definitely be legal but then that would be far too progressive for this country.
    Jesus Smiff, I didn't realise you had lost a thumb. That's a rough time you've had buddy.

    I dabbled in weed when I was younger but never particularly on its own. Always at the end of a night out or whatever to get you back to normal.

    I can see it being more useful now I'm older as a stress reliever and relaxant.

    I smoked it more or less every day during my first two years of uni. I'm not sure what happened, I either stopped enjoying it suddenly or realised I'd never really enjoyed it that much. I had a joint at Glastonbury last year and that was pleasant enough, but mostly I just end up feeling bored and wishing I could think straight.

    There definitely exists some mass delusion amongst younger smokers that it's entirely harmless, but it should definitely be legal.

    I occasionally indulge, and it should be legal as fuck.
