i tried it once...but it left me with that horrendous "room spinning' effect... and i hate that feeling so much.
Something else we share in common, apart from living in SE Qld and feeling like Beattie shafted us with the rough end of a pineapple a few times too many.....but yeah, it makes me so ill that I once was hospitalised for a few days after a supposed friend spiked a cigarette and gave it to me.
Sorry, I know this went off the theme of the original post but I feel very strong, from personal experience, about the issue of pot.
Yeah, me too, and I feel it's very relevant to the original post, and no, I'm not at all sorry. You see, I just wish that it had had the same affect on my younger brother, that he too had developed a healthy aversion to it....because I believe the weed was a very much a contributing factor in his premature and tragic death. Sure, he was happy, healthy, stable and productive all the while he had his smoke...but after only a short while without it he became uncontrollably morose, morbid and depressed....in the end suicidal.
Sure there were other factors, like industry layoffs that left him wondering how to make ends meet, other trials and tribulations too, but he had always managed to rise above the worst of times to come out the other side even stronger...providing he had his weed to pacify and comfort him. Sadly, in the days preceding his death, he was unable to get any...the next thing we were being informed that had taken his own life after spiraling deep into depression and no longer knowing how to cope...how to reach out for help.
He leaves a widow and his 3 young sons without a husband and father....yet my sister, her son and mine still smoke the dreaded stuff, knowing full well it has less than desirable consequences for family members.
Yeah, it can have devastating effects....not always in the smoking but often in a sudden and enforced abstinence the user is very much unprepared for.
Do I dislike the stuff...you betcha...with a passion.
