Should I start smoking marijuana regularly?

[Dis]

I'm thinking of taking up the drug. I no longer have to drive in the course of my job, so the chance of a drug test is slim. Though if I get injured in a workplace accident, I may still have to take a drug test. If I fail, I will be fired (and could jeapordize my career with my union as well).

I heard pot helps with social anxiety? Is this true? I also hear it helps with pain. Not that I have much (though my back hurts from time to time).

I voted for banana btw

my freind who smokes pot regularly gets really paranoid when he smokes and doesn't like to be arround people

so don't use it expecting it to help your social anxiety (it might, I just know it doesn't always)

I have no problem recommending smoking pot. So sure, take it up.

It may not help with your social anxiety... it may make you more paranoid.

It's not addictive... I drink mochas way more often than I smoke pot.

so far you are the only one who thinks you should go gay

I am not sure what that means

If by helps you mean it helps it come about, yeah. Pot makes you paranoid, you dork.

it wont help with social anxiety - and by regular, do you mean once a day, or twice a week or what? no once a day thats for sure.

Diss, are you an idiot?!

It really depends on what you consider "regular". If you smoke at night, its not as bad as if you smoke during the day. Me, it comes down to money...I'm a college student, thus marijuana is not as plentiful as I would like.

Still...I don't ever allow it to get in the way of work, school, or theatre. I strongly advise against smoking before work/school, only because if you smoke then you'll have nothing holding you back from being stoned 24/7.

EDIT: However, there's nothing wrong with a toke a night if there's nothing else to do...just like a six-pack a night isn't necessarily a bad thing (except for your liver).

Pot ain't that cheap that I'd recommend using it regularly. Though if you do, bake it or use a water bong, this reduces the harmful side effects.

I would never smoke before work/school! That's like drinking before work/school. My work does require a decent amount of focus. I sometimes work with electricity. 110 and 266 v.

do you really want me to answer that?

Hey man, just sayin'...there are two or three people (above the age of 30) who go to work stoned regularly...I had a sub teacher, around 50 years of age, who came to school stoned half the time. I believe he's living in Amsterdam now.

He was a huge Green supporter...

I hear smoking banana peals can get you high.

Japher, myth.

Diss, if you ask that question seriously, I think that yes, you should start smoking on regular basis because you can't damage your brain any further .
