How Nigerian of you

the question is not about Nigeria I know Nigeria is a state of mess yes but we are talking about drugs and it's adverse effects adding more problem to the existing on one on ground get it rite bro

Hermes119:


No offense bro but this is my field I don't think u understand what weed does to the human body more than I do

are we talking smoking or oral ingestion?

Cause it's unfair to use smoking weed as an example

Most weed users don't smoke, some use candy, some cake, some food, some even tea, bulk of weed users dont smoke, there hasnt been a single weed related death, I mean directly involved, harmful to the body indeed, if you want to talk about harmful, let's talk about saturated fats, if I hear say weed is harmful again, on daily basic you are ingesting toxic things but its weed that is least toxic you want to argue against


Rubbish and nonsense

in Nigeria today weed is a national crises abi?

Una no get serious problems wen pass weed abi?


How many people smoke weed? How available is it?

Abeg leave weed alone, people are homeless, jobless and cant eat, its weed you want to tackle, how come things that developed countries with research legalize are the things una fight against the most, ignorance ooooo, jesus Nigerians

Hermes119:


You are right, just like every other drug "moderation is key" but then what happens when a person exceeds the "moderation index" as is often seen and the disadvantages now roll in. If people maintained the moderation level weed wouldn't be a topic for discussion the reason,most people do not maintain the moderation level

I agree with you.

That's where enlightenment comes in.

There should be a ministry just like cigarette and alcohol that actively cautions the masses against it's abuse.

Please know this as well, all those inspirations, thoughts, vibes that comes when high is from Demons/unclean spirit(I am 100% sure). If you want me to go Spiritual, I will gladly explain, just quote me.

Thank you. APTTMH.

During my days in school, i wouldn't say i smoked, but i smoked(in the eyes of my friends, even my female friends), when we gather, they'd pass to me, i no sabi wrap so they'd wrap for me.

My trick was "never allowing the smoke into my throat, na my mouth e go stop, then I'll blow it out through my mouth and nose(cool guy). So i never got high, except for the day we smoked in a room and everywhere got stuffy with smoke, na contact i contact that day and the feeling i got wasn't nice. My whole system was vibrating at a very high frequency. I HATED IT!

I personally see "smoking" as a child's play, sort of like playing with sand. Also i saw it as a self destructive habit, smokers don't worry about food. In school, they'd gather and when i arrive I'd be like "where food wey we go chop", they'd say i should forget food. Me? Forget food? But y'all bought weed and gins, haba, which kind friends una be, I'd leave em and go and get/prepare food and when we finished fooling around, they'd be the ones to finish the food, then I'd be like "see una life". It was funny though. I never used my money to buy weed/cigarette except alcohol, and that's even when in gatherings with friends and everyone is indulging.

There is nothing like weed addiction, it's not even possible, the nerve ends that weed attaches to cant create the kind of dependance that cocaine and co can create


The only argument against weed is that it's a gateway drug to other drugs, that one is true but very rare but if you ignore that arguement there is nothing you can say against weed, let's not even begin, cause me I know my onions

All these illiterates talking nonsense here

Bro go and look at academic journals from professors and academic juggernauts,go and look at well conducted and reviewed research works,all of them point to the fact that long term consumption of weed have demonstrated several significant health impairments
Let us not argue with sentiments
I like the feeling that comes when a person is high,its very nice I understand, its a good thing,its very pleasurable YES
But we can't be biased in our judgements
We point out the implications of certain actions and the individual is better informed and left with the choice

In Medschool Lectures who drink alcohol would still tell u the negative impacts of alcohol on the system
Own your shit
What u are doing is pleasurable,many famous and influential people engage in it but it doesn't make it less harmful than it actually is,intact it may even be more harmful than we know and that something to be wary of

Australian tried to do it, they kept pictures of dead people and death on packets of cigarettes, the companies fought back, guy dont mess around with those cigarettes companies, they know how to lobby, there was one that happened in benin, the country next to Nigeria, they almost destroyed that country, people have tried and failed to completely ban cigarettes, best is what we have today, subtle warnings, despite the death counts they will never ban it cause the companies behind it have money and people still use it

300 words not a single word about what exactly is the harm it causes, you are sending me to research, thought you had your facts on hand hahaha

Oga we know what alcohol does to the liver, that is not news, we even know how it destroys the kidney not news


Tell us how weed causes damage na?

Give me articles of death that weed directly caused, even car accidents, guy rest

Weed is an amplifier, if you are smart it makes you smarter, aggressive it makes you more aggressive, side effects are very few and far in between and none is terminal

Cigarette is not marijuana. Marijuana doesn't kill.

Again what you referred to is forcefully imposition by the government. I guess it was interfering in their rights which is freedom of choice.

Well enlightenment is still needed.

The enlightenment I'm referring to like the case of cigarette is a disclaimer like smokers are liable to die young.

A similar approach could be adopted to guide marijuana users in the number of times to be used in a week or monthly and the limits.

At the end, whether a person takes marijuana or not, we'll all leave this world.

we should also label meat and saturated fats, guy trust me that your angle doesnt work

There are so many legal things more harmful than weed, so it makes no sense giving weed a disclaimer, go and check most rehabs worldwide its cocaine they battle not weed, people dont get addicted to weed, it's just assumed, there are more people addicted to alcohol and it kills more people yet it was made legal


Prohibition is there, go and read about american fight against alcohol that they lost, its weed that is the least harmful one that you are preaching regulation

Hopefully, this same policy will be applied to displaying of dead bodies and graphic pictures on FP. Would be great to have some sanity here.

The ones you mentioned, the title indicate that there are graphic pics in such threads, people are warned before they open, but this particular, no warning, and the topic doesn't require such a graphic pic. I have not been myself since I saw the pic he attached earlier

Okay

for real

Shuggaa:
Have actually stopped weed smoking tho,but tbh weed also has it own advantage..let stop talking as if it that bad..I know lot of great ideas and decisions i made when I was high and how it benefited me..the only issue is just the smoke that affects the lungs. That was one of the main reason i had to quit and plus I hate involving my self in anything the police will always disturb u about cause i hate police alot.I no dey even want get interactions with them talk more of begging them"oga abeg na abeg"because of weed...thanks to God

Brother, please listen to me brother. The benefits of weed smoking is very short lived. However the consequences can be long term. Trust me when i say this. You start having memory loss, making bad decisions....thats a fact! The long term effects can also be overcome, but it takes determination and God's grace. Simply put, smoking weed is not worth it! It is absolutely not worth it. Even including eating the weed (Edibles).
I turned to weed when i was 32 years old because i had trouble sleeping (Insomnia), after i had used over the counter sleep aids and prescription for a while which didn't do much to alleviate my sleep issues. From there, i started using regularly...before i knew it, i made a barrage of bad life decisions (relationships) and it started changing my personality (I became short fused). Let those that have ears listen, IT IS NOT WORTH IT. Smoking weed or even trying it opens up a can of worms. Luckily i am not addicted to it because i don't go and seek it. The trigger for me was when i would be around people smoking it (If i have been drinking), then i succumb to it. Now i even stopped occasional drinking and i have cut out friends and acquaintances that smoke weed. Keep away from anything that dulls the mind. Another reason i had turned to weed back then was because i had a very active and imaginative mind (I think a lot)...I saw that as a burden rather i should have tamed it by using mindfulness techniques...Weed was a way to help me dull my mind a little....Until the dulling of the mind almost ruined me.
I am glad i made my "rebel" decisions to try weed at an older age, i cannot imagine if i had tried it when i was in my twenties. That would have been a disaster due to my predisposition to having an obsessive nature. The mind is a terrible thing to waste! ANYONE HERE READING THIS! IF YOU LOVE YOURSELF, STAY AWAY...LEARN FROM OTHER PEOPLES MISTAKES UNLESS YOU LOVE TROUBLE LIKE I DID! .

always give me joy wen I see ur comment..

Damnnnnn niggarrr
Isoright

It is very obvious Bros op is not a real niggarrr

Real niggarrrz don't quit
And quitters are not real niggarrrz

As for me and the rest of my real niggarrrz
We are going to smoke till the end of time

what about jedi?
is it addictive?
is it weed?

ArisingStorm:
Firstly, if you are a smoker, an advice : start eating as much fruits as you can till you overcome the addiction. Smoking is a fast way of killing the body cells, infact, very fast. All these post of smokers are liable to die young ain't a joke. Eat fruits and drink water adequately(I trust smokers, them no go believe ) .

I started smoking marijuana when I was in my Final year back in school (if I had started earlier, for me o, I don't think I can graduate). In the beginning, it was all fun, the journey was blissful, no problems, just a young man enjoying his life on a lowkey. I was introduced by my friends of course, they introduced me like joke like joke. Then I started smoking continuously like joke like joke. The feeling was good, like really good. I don't do all this Tramadol, Refnol and all other drugs (they are actually all the same thing). I always tell them (friends) it's chemical that weed is natural (God made it). I don't really like alcohol too (I always say they are damaging their liver). I can defend weed with my life. I will bring out health tips and benefits of weed. I was a brand ambassador of weed.

Mind you, if you see me, You wouldn't know I smoke marijuana, that's a trait of weed smokers (don't be deceived thinking all weed smokers have a thick voice or always look like thugs on the street). Very secretive because we know people will judge us and say stuffs like "haa your life don spoil, haa your life don finish (tho this is not true, The life is actually finishing gradually on a slope).

I smoked all through final year, I smoked even before going for final defense. Weed was like a best friend (didn't know it has turned to idol, that's always the end point). There are two types of weed smokers:

-the loners (they mostly like smoking alone),
-the group smokers (they mostly like smoking with friends).

I was mostly a loner. After graduating, when at home, weed was starting to be of less effect on me, the thing does not do me anything again, so I climb the ladder. I started with SK, a higher level. At this point, been an educated smoker that cares about his health, I started getting worried because I personally knew I was damaging my lungs (all smokers knows this but choose to ignore).

I decided to buy a vape pen (its a device for smoking with less smoke). The original was 45k, the chinese brand was 15k. I bought chinese. I used it for a while. Then I realize this vape pen can blow anytime and I will just die. I just went back to my smoking of blunt (the normal paper weed = roasting of lungs). At this stage, I forget things easily, my decision making was poor, my financial management extremely poor, I started becoming an I don't care kinda person, I started getting dehydrated easily, my body system started changing because of the smoke, my productivity was getting low. It affected my finances, I am always broke, it affected my relationship, it affected my whole life.

Weed smokers always have supporting strikers (this are bad habits that the weed gives inspiration/ginger/vibes to do). It can be sex, masturbation (Pornography), gambling, playing games, wasting time doing nothing (scrolling social media/internet) etc. I was a gambler and self service personnel. Things wasn't going well, mind you, You won't be able to tell anybody, You will just hide it to yourself. Depression gang arrived (drugs always lead to depression in the end).

NOTE : The moment I started thinking of quitting weed smoking, that is when it was as if world war 7 just started in my life. If you are a smoker reading this, and you are still enjoying it, You won't have any problem, but the moment you start trying to quit, chaiii, its when the battle just start, just go and wear armor.

The struggling started, I will stop for three days, am back, I will stop for 1wk, I am back, there was this time I stopped for Six good months. I started praying then and getting serious with my spiritual life. I was already like, finally, I don escape. I don't know shaa, I find myself dere again, this time, it was crazy. I smoked SK till I started not feeling anything again. I then climbed the ladder to "loud". At this stage, I wasn't happy with my life personally, but I can't stop. I didn't give up, I wouldn't lie to you, I received grace from above to be able to overcome, sincerely. All praises to My Maker. Now, if you like, put weed in my front, I will just be looking at you.

Conclusion: Trust me, You gonna lose opportunities taking drugs because you would be too high to see opportunities. Mindset is all that matters. You will need to distance yourself from those friends. Weed will always make you feel like the world is crumbling and that you should not stress yourself and just smoke. It will make you take stupid risks. It will change your attitude. If you want, You can be religious and also an hypocrite but the truth is Don't decieve yourself, any addiction you have, face it, be fearless, and don't give up, You will overcome!!!. I will gladly answer any questions. Many are feeling the vibes of weed now, sincerely, they don't know that it is an institution. Parents check your kids because they will never tell you. I told my mum when I overcame by grace, she was just crying, I was just looking at her like, why is this woman crying.

Any Addiction you have on earth, Don't give up, You are not a Slave. Be Fearless!

Please know this as well, all those inspirations, thoughts, vibes that comes when high is from Demons/unclean spirit(I am 100% sure). If you want me to go Spiritual, I will gladly explain, just quote me.

Thank you. APTTMH.
