    Well it's something that I've always wondered what percentage of Irish people have smoked weed. Have you tried it and what were you experiences like with it?

    you should all be wary of the horrible affects of the devils lettuce!!!!!!!!!!!

    Nothing in comparison to the life-lengthening effects of a pair of Devil's dumplings.

    so everyone who smokes weed is a scumbag?

    I believe you are trying to communicate with "Homo Dailymailreaderus".


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15,676 ✭✭✭✭herisson


    Yep I have, used to smoke it a lot when I was younger. I don't smoke it anymore bar I had a few puffs at Christmas when I was drunk is all. But other than that I don't go near it.

    Weekends only.

    I find it helps me relax and get good sleep (up to 10 hours with a good Indica) and this then allows me to have energy for college work. It also makes games such as Skyrim so much better.

    I see no reason why it should be illegal. I do not drink alcohol or smoke cigarettes because these leave me feeling sick and shameful.

    Saying that, I can understand why weed might leave some people in trouble. It does help to distance yourself from reality which might result in you not going into school or keeping in contact with friends etc etc.

    did not real the whole post so my own one might be disjointed with the rest of the thread.

    Thing I find with the people I know that smoke is that they smoke a lot. Its a not a weekend thing like drinking, its a daily thing. Yet they will refuse to accept its substance abuse.

    Are those people in the 18-23 bracket?

    no im not a scumbag
    no one accused you of being a banker or developer

    Some of them but most of them are 25 -35. I know young people tend to over do most things and will go through that phase same as they do with drinking. But as the people I know got older they either stopped completely or continued to smoke a lot. Those same people would still only drink at the weekends and would consider drinking every day over doing it. But weed they see differently for some reason.

    Similarly there are people who would smoke little or rarely, but who would have no problems in having a few beers or glasses of wine every night. People just have their own favourite poison and, tbf, both are substance abuse.

    Wouldn't touch the stuff. I've seen how it can turn otherwise normal people into scruffy, under motivated slackers with questionable personal hygiene. It also generally leads on to harder drugs like heroine.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,598 ✭✭✭Duff


    Only during the Summer months.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,660 ✭✭✭COYVB


    Is weed being used as a catch all here? Does it include resin? Or are we talking specifically about weed?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,660 ✭✭✭COYVB

    Wow.

    I'm assuming a catchall. Otherwise we'd need a more specific poll. have you done weed, resin, oil etc..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,023 ✭✭✭Fukuyama


    Yup.

    Great stuff all together.

    It's a crime it illegal.

    only a matter of time before that popped up.hear this.cannabis is different in so many ways to other drugs,its bulky to transport,it stinks to high heaven and the profits would be significantly lower than say cocaine.now most cannabis smokers i know are daily users,and its this relatively small but steady stream of income that keeps the dealers business ticking over,which in turn allows them to invest in the harder stuff which is much more profitable,and we all know the higher the cash stakes the higher the body count.also the cannabis smokers provide a pool of people for them to push the harder stuff on.cannabis to drug dealers would be like a newsagent selling cigarettes,they don't make much money at all,and any shopkeeper Will tell you this,but they need to sell them to keep customers coming in.if the government wised up and put some smart legislation in place these gangs would be fkd.people have used cannabis for thousands of years,its not going to stop anytime soon.cannabis users don't want to support criminals who'd stab you over 20quid.although it would be easy to say to them to stop,it ain't gonna happen.most smokers i know over the age of say 35 use it as a relief method for some ailment or other.you are right when you say cannabis use supports criminal activities,in fact its the backbone of these gangs.so its time the government took a more pragmatic approach.
