Poor Michael Phelps. Leave the kid alone. Elizabeth Hasselback really is a certified idiot. Anyone who calls weed a gateway drug has zero knowledge about weed or gateways- for that matter.

Now I'm curious and would like to try.

Some of my best experiences have been when I've been stoned. Ever wandered around a music festival high? You meet the best people. I met Phil Jupitus.

My cousin Matt has a bottle of Gordon's Gin and is stabbing it with his Leatherman.
"Hey Matt. Whatcha making?"
"...Nothing."
"You are making a bong aren't you?"
"...No."
"Ok, don't cut yourself."
Later on in the afternoon we had to run to Wal Mart for something and my aunt wondered why it took Matt 15 minutes to find his jacket.

But that's the most extreme case I've ever known.

I think if you're prone to clinical-depression, smoking pot for prolonged periods of time can hinder things like motivation, decision-making skills, social interaction etc. Like anything else, it's best in moderation.
I ask because my father self-medicates with pot for a brain-chemistry disorder and has been given the green-light by his doctor. He even got a vaporizer to cut out the actual smoke, and just inhale the rendered thc (or however it is that works).

He did smoke around 10 joints a day at the time, though. And then didn't sleep for 5 days at a time. And my god it was the funkiest weed I've ever known. One drag and I threw up it was so damn strong.
I'm pretty sure it was caused by the fact that weed over here is rather impure, generally, and that was the actual damage factor. It seems to be of greater quality in the US, and is more conducive to usage for self medication.
Thankfully, he stopped smoking and went to the shrink and is cool now, if generally a bit of a nervous casualty at times.

i'm glad your friend has found help!

therein lies the biggest 'safety' argument, at least for me.

It's the most known form to cause paranoid delusions, and most skunk here is less than homegrown. Something scientific tht I can't remember about buds on certain pot plant strains. Anyway, what I'm saying is, Know your grower!

The problem is that now that I'm getting a little more curious, I have no idea how to get me some! Jeez, I'm such a square!

If you're really interested, you must visit Jamaica, where every other local on the beach tries to sell it to you. Maybe that's why everyone there is so mellow and happy?

You would think that someone like Charlize would be able to afford a nice Roar.
