BF2S Forums Cigs, Weed, and Alcohol.

This thread (not the OP, just the replies to it) just makes me fucking sick.

I've smoked weed a couple of times in my life. First time was after my dad's heart attack, second time was when my dog died (which happened within 2 months of each other). I don't think those were uncalled for considering I was stressed out beyond belief, and simply needed something to calm me down and relax me. Hardly doing it for fun, hardly doing it to look cool...just doing it to chill myself out so that I wouldn't end up having a nervous breakdown. If you see anything wrong with that, you're a very twisted individual.

However, I as well hate/stay away from the people who do it to look cool. My brother's one of them. And he's even done coke and driven under the influence. I'm not going to put them on a moral trip, though. It's their life, and if they want to fuck it up, that's fine. My brother...I don't even know what to do with him. He's got no idea what he wants to do in his life, thinks it's all a big fucking party, and just could give two shits about work.

But that's another story for another time.

As for the OP - as others have said, she's an attention whore. Nothing more than that. I had a friend named Danielle just like this. Then she started telling me she was getting involved with gangs. Whether or not it was true, it's obvious that she was nothing but an attention whore, and I broke off the friendship with her. Haven't talked to her in over a year. She's still alive though (someone in my aviation class knows her and said she's a total cunt), so I guess she's fine.

I also don't think you should have reacted as you did, though. I think you should/should've tried to pull her away from it, but don't act like you're some kind of mobile rehab clinic. Advise her, help her through this...all that jazz.

Hope I helped a little.

don't even bother, people never admit they have a problem

Haha ok

Havent smoked weed in about... a month becasue i dont feel like going into a different part of the city to pick it up.

Havent smoked a ciggarette for about... Well the last time i drank which was probably at least a month ago...

But yeah i totally have a problem...

There is such a thing as recreational use

IF someone said i could NEVER smoke weed again for the rest of my life for some reason, it wouldnt be a problem to me... Sure it would suck, but i would in no way ever need to smoke it again, i just find it fun.

And i dont even like ciggarettes, the only time i ever smoke them is when i drink.

But thanks anyways.

Always so defensive...

The fact remains that I can show you hundreds of cases where people have destroyed their lives with the stuff, but you'd be hard pressed to find an example where it has ever helped anyone with anything.

Well then dont just jump the gun, saying i have a problem.

Sure it has ruined peoples lives, but IMO those are the people who really had no life to begin with. I doubt weed of all drugs has ruined lifes, maybe with people getting things like cancer, but thats no different than ciggarettes then. I guess you could say its a "gateway" drug to those more addicting, more powerful ones though.

I could also show you millions of people who want weed legalized... but that means nothing because it never will be.

For people who know how to use it, and know their limits, then it really isnt a problem at all... but that is just my opinion, and you have yours, so i can respect that.

Fine, but keep in mind that there are people out there who want nothing to do with drugs or those who do them, for both legal and moral reasons, so you had better be prepared to accept that when and if you do make that choice.

When my dad had a heart attack, I visited him. When my dad nearly died during surgery a few years later, I worked on a puzzle. When my maternal grandmother was hospitalized with cancer and died shortly thereafter, I visited her and carried on as best I could; drugs aren't even an option. I'd say that's quite uncalled for (especially the dog part).

In order for me to even start smoking---never even mind any other drug---I'd have to be like one of those guys in WWII movies where they grab a cig and someone inquires "I thought you don't smoke" ushering in the reply "I don't" who take up smoking as a result of actual stress.

I understand what you mean, and i try to.
But you also have to see it the other way around, as dumb as this sounds, there are people who like weed for the fact that its fun, and i think people need to accept that it really isnt as bad as people put it out to be.

Then have "fun" on your own time, we don't want to hear about it.  I can amuse myself and still retain full control of my mind.

1.) Did you just compare putting down your cat to having your dad almost die?

2.) I do however agree... smoking weed to "get away" is not a good thing, I actually think its much better to just do it to get high. Along the same lines as people saying "Always drink to remember, never to forget."


Its funny though, all you guys making weed out to be such satan... You will never drink even when your of age right? Having seen people over indulge in both alcohol is MUCH MUCH more evil then weed is.

You can't tell someone to stop doing something they enjoy. Smoke a pack of twenty then tell me how you feel.

this thread should be euthanized

the fact that you brag about that over the internet leads me to believe you're completely full of shit
hang yourself

edit: even if it's the truth, it simply shows your complete insecurity due to having to show off to people you'll never meet or know in real life
my order for you to hang yourself still stands though

its her decision at the end of the day.

The amazing thing is the lack of understanding of why people actually do drugs. Its not because they think it makes them look cool, it's because they tear you the fuk up and make you feel like superman. People doing them just don't understand or are in denial that there is a long term price to pay for abusing them until the damage starts to become impossible to ignore.

Don't judge. Even though it's impossible for you to comprehend if the hardest thing you have ever done is childrens strength tylenol, try to put yourself in that persons shoes. If something makes you feel fucking awesome of course you will think it's crazy to stop.

Also, don't force your opinion, try offering it.

be her friend but tell her if she ever touches a cigg or weed again you'll fucking slap her

Thats unfortunate
I'm always sorry to hear about people that get screwed up by drugs.
Thats really why I try to stay out of that crowd, especially because I know they all smoke, and it is very costly and poor for your health.
All you need is some self control, she probably has some problems going on at home though.
Sorry to hear that, but sometimes second chances are a good thing.

Screwd up by drugs?
Just be cause she got a suspension from SCHOOL and smokes cigarettes?
Come on.
I smoke cigarettes and drink alcohol, I am 18 and I can do it.
So what? do i go to overweight people and complain about them eating 50 hamburgers every day who also complain about that fact that they have heart problems and they are over weight? no.
This hate toward people who smoke and drink is ridiculous.
I'm not saying that cigarettes are good for you, but the fact that people sees you smoking and think "Oh my god, he is smoking, he is a bad kid..." is just plain stupid and wrong.

And, I have friends who stopped smoking weed and they used to smoke it every day. Of course they went to cigarettes now but I've never stopped hanging around with them, because they are my friends. They can do cocaine and still I would be there when they need help. Leaving your friend like that is not the most smartest thing you can do.
