Serious question.

[RockNRoll!]

But seriously, drugs are bad. Don't say they're "fine" in any amount.

"This drug makes you feel funny, this one makes you see crazy things, this one relaxes you, and this one makes you happier/more confident but don't ever do them because they're bad" You see why this argument doesn't work? Kinda makes me wanna get high.

Here's an interesting article about drug use and how it can be a good thing as long as it doesn't become the focal point of your life http://loconunca.com/articles/0809/drugs.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

No, you haven't. You've done what you WANT to do. And just like your MJ thread earlier this year, you're doing what YOU want and justifying it with your ADD.

Seriously, see your doctor. He's smarter than you.

Doing what you want to do can be a good thing. Just because the side effects alone make it enjoyable doesn't mean it can't also be used for practical reasons.

There's a difference between moderation and abuse, though some would say any use is abuse. Few people would argue that having a drink here and there is a bad thing (assuming you're of legal drinking age) but nobody will deny that overdoing it (ie puking everywhere and blacking out) is healthy, or deny the long-term effects of alcohol on a person's liver.

But I don't feel any of this is relevant to the root discussion here...

Doing what you want to do can be a good thing. Just because the side effects alone make it enjoyable doesn't mean it can't also be used for practical reasons.

Just like his MJ thread, he's admitting he enjoys the side-effects but is using his ADD to justify his use of it. He's putting the carriage before the horse. Seems like the smarter thing would be to get a professional opinion, but as long has his internet friends tell him what he's doing is perfectly fine, he has no reason to see a doctor.

You can't justify something like this simply on what you think your problem may be based on what you read on the internet. It's already been mentioned that sharing prescription drugs is illegal. What if he gets addicted? What if he has a reaction to it? These are the types of things that his doctor might be able to determine much better than some anonymous kid on the internet.

Like I said in my previous post, he should talk to someone smart (like a doctor) instead of someone who may just think they're smart.

and if you had read MY posts, or his, you would know that he IS planning on seeing a doctor to discuss anxiety, ADD and whatever else may be a problem for him. Im all about informed opinions and I know more than a little about both illegal and prescription drugs and am more than happy to share that information, but i always advocate talking to a licensed medical professional if you feel you need to take a certain medication

You wouldn't be alive, that's what!

But seriously, drugs are bad. Don't say they're "fine" in any amount.

Marijuana is used medically in 14 states last I heard, so I think it can be fine in certain amounts. I have magazine on my coffee table about Ecstasy now being found to be useful in cretin types of treatments. I haven't read it yet but if you want to continue to hold this stance I guess I can.

I don't even think weed is harmful when used in moderation. Plenty of members here smoke it and I bet you would never be able to tell.

If you would've paid attention to my posts, you would have seen that I was talking about using drugs WITHOUT PRESCRIPTIONS.

And if you had read his post, you would have seen that he was also talking about drugs WITHOUT PRESCRIPTIONS.

Don't read the first half of a post and ignore the rest.

Just remember to keep it civil people! just a fair warning to everybody.

I don't know if half of you guys have even read this post, but I am going to see a therapist. My doctor told me to so I said what the heck it couldn't get any worse. I was thinking about it and I KNOW hes going to ask me if I have done drugs before. I will promptly say yes of course. I have come to realize the only drug that alleviates my stress and keeps me feeling happy at the same time is Marijuana. It has no bad side effects. Well I'm sure respiratory problems, but I don't intend on smoking all the time. The best thing I heard my mom say in my life was "Anything that helps take your anxiety away, thats what we should do." Okay that wasn't the best thing she ever said BY FAR, but it kind of made me feel a little better about weed. I was reading on the interwebs that If you get your parents consent, you can get a medical Marijuana card if your under 18. I am going to have a serious and mature talk with my therapist, and see what he thinks. It honestly is the only drug that I have used, that helps me with a LOT of things. Also, if I got a medical card, I wouldn't have to smoke all the time! Thats right kids. They make weed in brownies. So it saves my lungs, helps with my problems, and no side effects. I say that this is THE miracle drug ever grown by the planet. NUFF SED.

Well if you've only done weed a few times, remember there are different strains. Medical marijuana is likely the sedative strain, the kind that mellows you out. There's another that makes you hyperactive and junk, but I've never really cared too much about what strain I smoke.
