My friend wants me to smoke weed
Hi...
My friend smokes pot a lot and he invited me to come to his house this weekend and smoke with him. I've been playing it off this entire time and haven't told him that I've never smoked a joint before. It's kind of embarrassing to just tell him that it's new to me though.
I'm a little iffy on the whole issue. I don't know what to think of it. Should I smoke pot with him? It can't hurt to right?

Dont do it sweetie follow my advice and you'll thank me later. Any drug's will ruin your life you'll see that in a couple years if those people still smoke they will probably be on the street or involved in bad things or in a ratty disgusting drugee house. You want to live a nice full wonderful life and drugs wont make that happen.....EVER. Neither will alchohol.

you know if you want to do it theres no way talking yourself out of it your going to do it but if your at an age where you want a job or your parents are like physcho and ask for a urine test every three days then i wouldnt some jobs ask for a urine test. if your gonna walk or drive home within a couple hours then i wouldnt. its up to you its not a horrible thing but not ok either but if you want to try it your prob going to no one can talk you out of it.

First, some facts to counter the bullshit posted below.
Marijuana does not kill brain cells. Marijuana is not chemically addictive. Smoking Marijuana has not been proven to lead to any significant long term side effects, including cancer like cigarettes. Marijuana is not "a gateway drug"
Like any activity that people enjoy, Marijuana can replace other activities and take over someone's life. A comparable example would be World of Warcraft. Obviously, you cannot suffer "WoW withdraw", but people do often play WoW for hours and hours to the point that other more important things (like work, school, friends, sleep, family, etc) get cut out, ignored, and forgotten. Some people do indeed get high and stay high and fuck up their lives. These are people who were going to get addicted to something, they were looking for a way to escape life, and weed just happened to fit the bill for them.
There is no such thing as a "gateway" drug. That's a term that was created by the weak who cannot handle their own lives and choices and who cannot help but be consistently irresponsible. The girl below is an example of said weakness.
Rather than a "gateway" what weed is is demonized. People tell lies and spread misinformation about how bad it is, and when people smoke it and realize how much it has been lied about, they begin to wonder what else about drugs they've been told is a lie. Weed occupies something of a unique role in this way, because it is attributed by the ignorant to many bad outcomes which are false, and most other drugs the bad outcomes are relatively real.
Coke? Addictive as hell, and has a relatively low overdose limit meaning that you can easily do too much and kill yourself. Crack, heroin? They'll kill you eventually, period. Ecstasy? Causes depression, can lead to bipolar disorder with regular enough abuse. Meth? It'll kill you, is addictive as hell, and is usually made at home in a lab in someone's kitchen with ingredients you'd never put into your body if you knew what was in it.
This is the problem with misinformation. When you realize that you've been lied to about something, it makes you question everything else you've ever heard about similar subjects, in this case other drugs.
Another thing that weed is not, is something you should do for other people's reasons. Some people seek out the experiences you're being offered, some people are absolutely fine without them, some people would rather not. Each of these decisions is valid when the person in question decides for themselves.
Last thing. The real side effects.
Weed slows you down a bit. It has effects on your conversion of short to long term memory, and can have a significant effect on your ability to learn new information because of this effect on memory retention.
These are not permanent effects, however in lab testing it's been shown that diminished capacity can last up to a week after you stop smoking if you are a somewhat regular smoker (more than once a week). In other words, if you're in classes of any kind, it's probably not a great idea.
Last, keep in mind that drug testing gets cheaper and more common every year, and that of all possible intoxicants marijuana stays in your blood stream and urine the longest. With chronic smoking, it can be positive as long as a month later with urine, and six months with bloodwork (though blood tests are very uncommon for employment)
It's illegal in most of the US. If you aren't in the US, might be an entirely different story, and the truth behind Weed is that it's less dangerous than alcohol.
But if you're in the US, be forewarned that because we've still got draconian laws in place which make little real sense, you could literally have your entire life ruined if you're caught with it. Penalties vary from state to state, but an amount you possess only for personal use can still get you a felony charge in some places, and shit like that's expensive to fight and difficult to win.

F/16. Don't do it. Trust me when I say that weed is a gateway drug. Even if you think "oh I'm just gonna do it once, nothings gonna happen" that's exactly what I said two years ago rite before I did it the first time. Now I'm addicted to extacy and I fucked up most of my life. Drugs fuck with your head. I know a lot of people that have dramatically changed for the worse just by using marijuana. I wouldn't recommend dong it but if you do end up deciding to do it, be careful. Your gonna feel relaxed. It'll hit you around 20-30 minute after you do it, everything will just pop out. Don't try to read because it's hella trippy haha (I've done it at school) You can always tell your friend you can't go. You can't really think when you're on it and some people act stupid. I can't tell you exactly what will happen to you because there's people who have the "good journeys" and people who have the "bad journeys" it all depends on how your body reacts to it. My friend ended up in the hospital just because I guess her body didn't react good to it at all. Be careful. Remember do what YOU want not what others want :] hope I helped.

Most people do smoke but if your going to smoke i suggest you do it with someone your comfortable with and not because your being put under pressure..
Also always be aware of what your are smoking because like the other reply-er said it can be layered with different substances.

Marijuana is an illegal drug, glorified or not, just like cocaine or heroin. You can develop a dependency. You mention your friend smokes "a lot" and that's a sign of dependency. THC (what's actually IN marijuana) can stay in your system up to a month, depending on your individual metabolism. Which means if you were to get a job, you'd fail a drug test.
And yes, it can hurt you. It can be commonly laced with other drugs, such as LSD (which is an hallucinogen). Many times when marijuana is laced the buyer isn't aware. Some people have severe allergic reactions to it.
So if you feel "iffy" about it beyond the information I've just extended you, my suggestion would be not to do it.
