Awhile back ago I stopped smoking marijuana for a full nine months while my girlfriend was pregnant with my child. About three months after his birth I began to smoke the ganja again like I did before but never in the vacinity of my son. I find that many people have misconceptions about the use of Marijuana and for the most part look down upon those of us who use it. I myself an avid smoker of some ten years have done alot of research on the drug and am aware of both its positive effects as well as it negative. My wife smokes with me on occasion, though she no longer smokes no where near as much as she used to before the baby was born.

I've also experimented other illegal narcotics during my freshman year at Cal State Long Beach. Everything from LSD, Shrooms to even Primo's. I found that I wasn't very attracted to any of other drugs and in turn I stuck with just smoking the herb. I've my own geneticly selected plants that I keep in a safe garden and I no longer spend any money what so ever on my habit. Though I wouldn't want my son to start smoking marijuana, nor do I advocate its use to those who have yet to try it, I myself am proud to be a smoker.

I just wanted to know if anyone else has tried or currently tries an illegal drug.

Um...when I was 5, I tasted a beer. Does that count?

Not a fan of drug use. (Or of beer. That stuff is horrible.) So, of course, I've never done the stuff.
But if I was forced to do something, I'd go with mary jane, as it's the only illegal drug I know of that can't kill you on the first try.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

^^...okay...

Nope, I never have, never will. Although I said they should be legal in Health today. Hehe. I was sentenced to the front of the room with similar sinners, to debate. The Health teacher was surprisingly unbiased either way, though.

Nope. Never even tried anything. I've always felt that I am too athletically inclined to do something stupid and get myself juiced up on somethin' that could kill.

I'm never smoking or anything!

My brother, at 3, was thirsty one calm night at a party my folks were having. He saw a [fancy] glass, and saw THE GLORIOUS APPLE JUICE! He drank it down in a gulp.

Turns out it wasn't AJ, but Beer. XD

I've never done any drugs, smoked, and I don't drink, but I don't scorn those who do. In my personal opinion it's better to smoke marijuana than cigarettes, what with all the **** the cigarette companies put in there nowadays to further addict you. Besides, I think that marijuana should be legalized to be used for medicinal purposes. I just don't see the point of keeping it illegal. It's just plain dumb.

I don't really plan on doing drugs. I'm not athletically inclined or anything, I just don't want to damage my body to be "cool" or to receive a bit of pleasure. I simply refuse to smoke. I'm not a big fan of inhaling incesticide, and the countless other things that companies like Marlboro and Camel put into their products. With the extra nicotine that's added for profit, it's a lot harder to quit. In fact, some people's wind pipe is damaged beyond repair so that it is necessary for them to have a hole cut in their neck for them to breathe. And even so, they still keep smoking through that hole in their neck, which I find utterly repulsive.

Don't think that I've never dealt with drugs or anything. My brother smokes marijuana regularly, although not as much as he used to. He never tried to hide it from me. In fact, a while ago it was commonplace for me to see him rolling a joint while we were sitting watching TV when home alone.

Also, I used to live in Spain a small town of about 2,000 people in the suburbs of Madrid. I left when I was 8, but returned regularly every summer and after 3 years it turned out that all of the older teenagers of 17 and 18 who were living there had all turned to heavy drugs, especially heroin. The saddest case was Mario, a guy who was two years older than me and had been my best friend when I had visited the previous summer. At only 14 years old, he was already dealing and popping pills and shooting heroin. My brother's best childhood friend, Rafa, had also turned to drugs at 16 or so. Three years ago I got news that he had been accepted into a rehab clinic, and about a year ago my oldest brother, who's 29, bumped into him and I was glad to discover that he's alright now. As for Mario, I don't know what has become of him.

Anyway, my parents sold my house in that town, and it's in the past now. Just about everyone that was there before has moved away and parents have divorced in many occasions. I'm glad we got out of there, because my brother might have gotten into drugs if his friends had all done it, and then I may have too.

Yeah I noticed many of my friends who may have started with pot began taking stronger drugs that they eventually became addicted to. I do belive that for some people marijuana can be used as a gateway drug but it all depends on the person using it. There are plenty of other people that I know that have never tried anything other than Marijuana. Its a shame to see a good person or friend waste away before they even reach the prime of thier life because of an addictive drug...

I've been to Madrid once and Chile twice about two years ago, both are very beautiful places saturated with lots of historic culture !

Viva Espana !

I take steriods for medical purposes only. I am suffering from Bell's Palsy symptom (When half your face freezes up.) The doctor really didn't want me to do this because it's addicted. My mom had to beg them because of the numbness going though me. It was horrable. I seen very freaky things and went insane. When I was off it, I looked scary. I had took it like 20 times, and it took 2 years for me to look normal again. I get Bell's palsy now and then. As a matter of fact, I feel like I'm getting it again.

^^I known that he was a smoker for quite a while, but I never knew he had a child.

BTW in FE4,the children end up getting many of their skills from their parents as well as being more powerful. I wonder if that rule is the same in the Gunjin...

Eh, not really. Yeah your all probably like "..says the 'Beer Fiend'." but I don't actually drink. I have drank maybe once before but that was really it. Plan on possibly drinking in the future? I dunno.
