Smoking weed

[UserSince2005]

Do you smoke.
I've got a new set of friends and all they do is smoke weed.
They are currently all outside smoking and I'm sat on the sofa by myself :(

[reece(:]

A lovely plant.

[Smithy]

Never have, just the smell makes me feel sick

Get better friends boo!

[Shaun]

Only do it from time to time, I'd never bother to do it habitually. Think the last time I did was COL2 so 2 years ago.

[user104658]

I did maybe two or three times a month from about age 16 - 21 if someone else was offering. Wasn't that much of a fan tbh. Never been "a stoner" and have never actually bought it either.

[smudgie]

Once:blush:

This.

[Alf]

I smoke pot (resin), Not a big fan of weed, it makes you very paranoid, although I'll have it, if it's all I can get hold of.

I've been on the blow since I was 15, 24 years. And I'm currently trying to quit it. Which is going to be hard.

I wish I never started.

[Babayaro.]

I put "I've never" bc the one time I thought I did there was **** all to smoke so it'd be a bit embarrassing if I count it :spin:

[UserSince2005]

Yeah I don't like the smell

Can we be friends?

[Smithy]

Yes :love:

The psychoactive subtance (THC) is exactly the same in both, though, it has exactly the same effect on your brain :think:. I think the increased paranoia you're experiencing with weed must be some sort of placebo effect.

[Withano]

I hated it. Made me nauseous and tired. I was already drunk though. Should I do it sober, does that make any difference?

Good luck. You can do this. :)

Adore it

I think the increased paranoia you're experiencing with weed must be some sort of placebo effect.I can go about my daily business quite normally after a joint of resin, but a joint of weed would mong me out, and make me lazy, and heavy headed, it's far more powerful.

[Rob!]

Used to a lot when I was at uni. Quit a while ago and have barely touched it since.

[Lostie!]

Don't see the appeal, it smells repulsive.

[joeysteele]

Never have.
However I've no objection whatsoever that others do.

I see no problem at all.

[Northern Monkey]

Smoked it from thirteen onwards regularly and enjoyed it for a couple of years until skunk came out and was all you could get for a while.That stuff made me quit.Not a nice chilled mellow feeling.Just smacks you in the face.
Not smoked it for about ten years now and have no desire to.
Did get heavily into 'party' drugs too in my early twenties.Barely even drink now.Maybe four times a year.Pretty much tea total.

Any need? Come on old chap?

[Firewire]

Never tried

It stinks :yuk:

[Alf]

Any need? Come on old chap?It's just a colloquialism, no malice behind it.

[Northern Monkey]

What's wrong with mong?We say it round are end too

[Kizzy]

I've tried it, god knows what I smoked my heart was racing and I felt like I was on a rollercoaster, then I got paranoid because I'd run out of toilet paper and what if someone wanted to go to the toilet?...:/

The second time I my partner said his hand felt funny, it had gone to sleep as he was laid on his side on the floor propped up on his elbow, he said it felt like it was made of brass ....I laughed for an hour solid about his brass hand.

[Marsh.]

:laugh2:

Well it's an offensive term thrown at disabled people.
How else does "mong me out" make sense.

I know you may not have intended it that way, but it is what it is.

[Northern Monkey]

Well it's an offensive term thrown at disabled people.

I know you may not have intended it that way, but it is what it is.

Well yeah but if you're not throwing it as an insult to anyone you're not really using it in an offensive context.
Saying 'i'm monged out' is hardly the same as saying 'you ****ing mong' imo of course.

[Firewire]

It's the same as using the N-word and you know it!

[Rob!]

In fairness that is a very used term in the stoner community

[Marsh.]

Well yeah but if you're not throwing it as an insult to anyone you're not really using it in an offensive context.
Saying 'i'm monged out' is hardly the same as saying 'you ****ing mong' imo of course.

That's not what I was saying. I don't think Alf was directing it at anyone.

It's the meaning of the word. When he says he was "monged out" what do you think it is describing?

[Marsh.]

In fairness that is a very used term in the stoner community

Yep, another point against weed. Thank you Rob. :smug:

[Northern Monkey]

Being stoned :shrug:

It's been a commonly used word since the 90's atleast

[Marsh.]

Being stoned :shrug:

It's been a commonly used word since the 90's atleast

Mong = stoned?

Why do they use the word mong? Can you take a guess?

It's not too dissimilar to "****".

[Marsh.]

Not that I'm suggesting Alf intended that offence. Just pointing out why I think there is absolutely no need for that kind of language.

[Withano]

What's wrong with mong?We say it round are end too

Same tbf

[Withano]

Well it's an offensive term thrown at disabled people.
How else does "mong me out" make sense.

I know you may not have intended it that way, but it is what it is.

Oh, i genuinely had no idea. Its a pretty common phrase where I'm from to describe exactly what Alf described, I've never heard the word mong used in any other context

[Rob!]

Yep, another point against weed. Thank you Rob. :smug:

No but like homophonically

[Northern Monkey]

Mong = stoned?

Why do they use the word mong? Can you take a guess?

It's not too dissimilar to "****".

Well yeah that was more than likely the original meaning but i think in the stoner context the word's taken on a dual meaning now.People don't even think about the mental health aspect when they say it now.

[Marsh.]

It's not about an "original" meaning. It's the exact same meaning. It comes from it.

Just as someone falling about pissed might jokingly say they feel like a "****".

mong1
mɒŋ/Submit
nounBRITISHinformaloffensive
a person who is stupid or who has learning difficulties.

:facepalm:

[Marsh.]

Oh, i genuinely had no idea. Its a pretty common phrase where I'm from to describe exactly what Alf described, I've never heard the word mong used in any other context

Oh trust me, I don't think a lot of people say it meaning offence but it's an incredibly derogatory term. Ignorance is bliss tbh.

[Rob!]

It's not about an "original" meaning. It's the exact same meaning. It comes from it.

:facepalm:

I have literally never heard anybody say that.

[Marsh.]

I have literally never heard anybody say that.

How nice for you. :hee:

[Jake.]

Last time I did it I spewed and passed out

[Withano]

Oh trust me, I don't think a lot of people say it meaning offence but it's an incredibly derogatory term. Ignorance is bliss tbh.

Hmm yeh, I'll avoid the word in future, but I do think the definition of that word is changing/ has changed. I literally had no idea there was a meaning to that word before 'very high', it just never crossed my mind, assumed it was a word that was made solely to define that feeling haha.

[Marsh.]

Hmm yeh, I'll avoid the word in future, but I do think the definition of that word is changing/ has changed. I literally had no idea there was a meaning to that word before 'very high', it just never crossed my mind, assumed it was a word that was made solely to define that feeling haha.

But that's the thing, it hasn't changed. Mong and **** are words used to be derogatory towards people with physical disabilities, tics and learning difficulties.

So at moments when their mental faculties are low through smoking weed, drinking, taking drugs etc they'll use that same word to describe feeling "like a mong" or when they're physically unable to control themselves when pissed/stoned they call it "being a ****" or whatever. So the word is still referring to mentally impaired or physically disabled but making light of it via stoned/drunk actions that clear up after a few hours.

But, yeah, generally speaking people don't intend or realise what they're saying when they do but they're words that are highly aggravating to me. :laugh:

But, anyway, I've ranted. :joker:

[Alf]

To be fair to you Marsh, I probably shouldn't have used that word on here. I was just in the moment and didn't think. I should have used lethargic. But what's done is done now.

[thesheriff443]

A guy once asked did I mind if he did some coke, I said its your nose.
True story was having a lap dance one the the girl said do some coke with me and I will let you screw me, I said you dp the coke and Il screw you, it didn't happen, think she wanted the buzz of us both doing coke.

[T*]

the smell is disgusting and makes me feel ill so yeah no ty

[Marsh.]

To be fair to you Marsh, I probably shouldn't have used that word on here. I was just in the moment and didn't think. I should have used lethargic. But what's done is done now.

Oh don't worry about it. It's the word that aggravated me really, not you. :laugh:

marsh taking offence rather than being offensive, the world really is ending!!

Iv never done drugs I don't even drink, women have been my fix.

He's having a night off, or he is stoned.

It's finally here, the thing the thread is all about.... the burnt out spliff.

And I didn't take offence, I took issue with a word. :oh:

(Imagine "issue" said like Eddie from Ab Fab. :hee:)

[Marsh.]

He's having a night off, or he is stoned.

I may have taken my meds twice, we all make mistakes. :oh:

I thought it was used to describe the people of the country

Pass me a stoned person who can be arsed to use the word 'larthagic.'

[thesheriff443]

Pass me a stoned person who can be arsed to use the word 'larthagic.'

They use the word, man a lot.

If i am correct the word originates from Mongolia although i think the reason they use it as a slur is because of the way Mongolians look

[T*]

Oh I didn't even realise this was an SN&D thread oops
seems more general chat

[Marsh.]

If i am correct the word originates from Mongolia although i think the reason they use it as a slur is because of the way Mongolians look

And that's not offensive at all. :umm2:

It's also still linked. Look up "mongoloid".

[Denver]

I dint say it wasnt offensive did i

[thesheriff443]

Il do a josy, stick to the thread subject please, smoking weed.

[LemonJam]

I smoked almost every day for 2 years oops. Achieved absolutely nothing and I don't even want to think how much money I spent on it. Barely touch it now.

[andybigbro]

I've tried it, not something I would do regularly though.

[AnnieK]

I used to smoke it daily for years....To the point where I was constantly stoned really but that just became my normal so I never felt stoned if you know what I mean. I too preferred the resin (squidgy black). Have the odd.joint every now and then now but that's it.

[lostalex]

All the cool kids are doing it.

i'm glad i'm not cool any more though. Now it makes me feel like ****. I'd much rather just drink.

[Beso]

I smoke it all day when not working.(sat and sun) will have a couple each night after work to chill out and forget the **** times ive had.....need to quit though as its becoming a bit boring

[Daniel-X]

Tried it twice. The first time I was HOWLING at nothing funny and then went really tired and ended up going to sleep, the second time I started off screaming with laughter for about twenty minutes but turned really paranoid afterwards and my anxiety was through the roof. Would do it again if every time was like the first but the second time was awful.

[hijaxers]

Exactly the same Alf except i'm not trying to quit

[Nicky91]

i've never done it, but i was tempted a few times of using this :worry:


maybe i would look more cool using weed :(

[Ashley.]

You certainly would not...

[Jamie89]

A handful of times at uni if I was at a party or something and it was being passed around but I never really liked it, and the last time I had it it made me sick and that put me off for good. And I had a flatmate later on who smoked it fairly regularly (like once a day/every other day) and that put me off even more... the smell in the flat, and how it effected his mood (he'd become really paranoid and just generally acted really strange/disturbed when he was high - and he was totally unaware it was doing that to him).

[Nicky91]

You certainly would not...

okay thanks for the advice sweetie, then i won't do weed at all :hee:

[Deirdre]

done it a few times. i prefer it much more to alcohol. but it doesn't affect me as much

[lily.]

I clicked the wrong one. Meant to click 'I did'... but clicked 'I do' instead... Clearly I'm messed up enough without it nowadays. Haven't touched it in over 20 years. Before I was pg with my first kiddo.

[Redway]

I do.

I've now gone a week and four days without a joint, fingers crossed there will be no going back.:fc:


Awaits praise.:smug:

[y.winter]

Never smoked in general. I find it quite disgusting...

[Gstar]

I think there's already been a thread about this but yeah I smoke weed quite a lot

[Mystic Mock]

I've never smoked Weed, but it doesn't bother me if other people do.

The biggest Drug I take is Caffeine.:joker:

[Josy]

I smoked hash (council) every day for about 16 years never really liked green much so only had that now and then, stopped 5 years ago haven't touched at all since.

Doesn't bother me in the slightest if people smoke it round me though, I sometimes roll for them too and that doesn't bother me either.

Good stuff :clap1:

You'll always love the smell when someone smokes it near you but i bet you'll feel better for it.

[Niamh.]

I have done but I never really got into it, made me really ill a few times so that turned me off it (no harm)

[Vicky.]

I did. I will now if someone has some but I wouldn't specifically seek it out myself. I tend to just get really tired and hungry tbh. Often I end up feeling sick too as the room spins. I prefer other drugs. But I take nothing regularly now that I am a responsible parent. Most of my teens were spent off my face on something or other and honestly, it was great. Used to go to work on pills and that. Infact our manager used to tick on E and speed and encourage us to take it at work so we could cope with 12-14 hour shifts everyday. Thats where I had my first taste of drugs really..working at burger kind :joker:

[Vicky.]

I hated it. Made me nauseous and tired. I was already drunk though. Should I do it sober, does that make any difference?

Makes most people sick if you do it at the same time as alcohol.

[user104658]

Makes most people sick if you do it at the same time as alcohol.

I've only ever smoked it whilst totally wrecked to be honest :joker:. It never really made me ill until the final time, I even quite enjoyed it, but that final time... the room was doing ****ing cartwheels and just would not stop. It was actually quite distressing :umm2:. And funnily enough, that time I *wasn't* very drunk, it was only about 8pm and I'd had maybe three drinks.

[Niamh.]

Makes most people sick if you do it at the same time as alcohol.

The sickest I ever got I was sober, it was in Holland though and was probably really strong :laugh:

[caprimint]

I've done it a few times, only pure though (hate it when it's mixed with tobacco), most times when drinking, it just makes me feel kinda like ~floaty and careless and also a bit dizzy/sick and I forget stuff until somebody reminds me. :worry:

[Vicky.]

The sickest I ever got I was sober, it was in Holland though and was probably really strong :laugh:

My mother had one joint in Holland and was wrecked for 9 hours apparently. Totally paranoid, she thought her partner was going to push her into rivers and stuff. Before going there she had had maybe one or two normal joints in her life. She thought it would just be mild and ordered a coffee and some huge joint (her partner said it looks like a trumpet). Never touched the stuff again since :D

Thats the only reason I would want to try Amsterdam actually. To sit in the open smoking a joint and having a cuppa

[TaylorCallum]

I've never but I think it should be legalised, I don't think it's a big deal.

[Livia]

I have never seen anyone smoke a joint then go looking for a fight. On the contrary. I smoke it, I find it relaxing. I know plenty of high-functioning professionals who've smoked it for years with no adverse effects. I'd like to see it legalised, regulated and taxed. Maybe then there wouldn't be so many horror stories and tales about how people felt sick, felt dizzy etc. etc.

[Kizzy]

Me and my son were going to have a trip to Amsterdam after my daughter and her partner went they had a slice of cake with it in and she said it was so funny, he got paranoid when he saw police officer so they made a 15 mile detour back to the hotel so they weren't followed and spent the rest of the evening eating pringles watching eastenders :laugh:

Probably true, I had smoked it probably 100+ times before and had never even felt vaguely ill, so I suppose I have to assume that there was something else in the mix the time that it messed me up.

Yup. I would say weed is much better for society than alcohol is. Alcohol causes so many problems..I think weed is even better for your health too. I have a long term illness and weed would probably be perfect for the pain tbh..currently on large doses of morphine which can;t really be good for me but I need something. I have considered making space cakes or something to see if it would help but am a bit worried about being stoned around the kids. I don;t drink around them and I don't think its right for parents to take substances when around children. Though I guess I am taking substances around them right now with the oramorph :S

[Livia]

I guess it's the same with all kinds of drugs. Did you see the people at Glastonbury checking the purity of people's drugs for free? They found all kinds of crap in there.

[Kizzy]

If you drink with it it will mess you up, friends at school called it 'throwing a whitey'. I don't get why being a professional would make it less likely if smoked for years to have any adverse affects either :/

[Livia]

Oh he brings it to my door i just need to let him know how much i want

Ahhhh that's better. I didn't want to think of you having to do your own dirty work Adam x

I have fund weed makes you concentrate more. I used to actually do sudokos and stuff while wrecked. I can see how it could actually help some people do their jobs tbh. Obviously not being totally out of it but a bit could definitely help.

The effect of a joint or so on people with stuff like Parkinsons is absolutely amazing too. There are youtube videos showing this. I genuinely think the only reason dope isn't legalized is because it would **** pharmaceutical companies and remove some of their profit as dope can effectively treat pain and other conditions.

[Kizzy]

She didn't say tough jobs, she said professional jobs. My query is why is it presumed that a professional can smoke it for years with no adverse effects when anyone is at risk regardless aren't they?

Well I would consider a professional job to be tough, long hours etc...that doesn't mean other jobs aren't. I can't speak for Livia but I presume she mentioned "professional jobs" because that's who she works around?

Regardless of the definition, how can the job someone does reduce their predisposition to adverse effects?

I honestly reckon there must be drugs in the WIND today, every thread has gone bonkers.

Kizzy... the point was that she knows people with complicated jobs who smoke weed (evenings and weekends I assume, not in the office :hehe: ), and smoking weed doesn't affect their ability to do their job during the day, thus anecdotally demonstrating that smoking weed doesn't necessarily damage people psychologically or reduce their brain function.

It has nothing to do with the job itself somehow reducing the side effects of the drug :think:. No one said that, anywhere. I assume it was the example used because it's the example she knows of people who need to "use their brains a lot". Likewise, I could use the example of having known a lot of students who smoked all through University and still came out with good / 1st class degrees.

[smudgie]

I said I had tried weed, then I read on here that weed is different from Hash.
So I haven't actually tried weed only hash.
Unless I have eaten one of my sisters space cakes at some point and not realised:laugh:

Kizzy... the point was that she knows people with complicated jobs who smoke weed (evenings and weekends I assume, not in the office :hehe: ), and smoking weed doesn't affect their ability to do their job during the day, thus anecdotally demonstrating that smoking weed doesn't necessarily damage people psychologically or reduce their brain function.

It has nothing to do with the job itself somehow reducing the side effects of the drug :think:. No one said that, anywhere. I assume it was the example used because it's the example she knows of people who need to "use their brains a lot". Likewise, I could use the example of having known a lot of students who smoked all through University and still came out with good / 1st class degrees.

Why are you attempting to explain what I mean to me?....


Whatever you do, you are at the same risks as anyone else. That is all I am saying, if you are a professional who has smoked it for years then you are lucky is all.
Knowing a couple of people who you perceive not to have any effects proves nothing.

YOu see your sig, Vicky? That is the best forum name anyone has ever had in the history of the Internet. Miss Kitty Fantastico....

It's also the best quote. Michelle :love:

Yup. Michelle is amazing in every way :laugh:


But the quote beneath it is clearly much better and made by a superior member of the forum? :hee:

Aww, thank you ladies.

I've never smoked it but I think it's ridiculous that it's criminalised. There is literally no real argument for making it an illegal substance.

It poses no health risks (tainted strains can cause some mental issues but that wouldn't be an issue if they legalised it) and it's far better for your health than alcohol or cigarettes, both of which can kill. People smoking weed are generally more agreeable and less likely to cause issues than a drunk person would and if they legalised it, it would probably bring in more tax money than cigarettes would plus regulations when it comes to growing weed to be sold would likely solve issues involving the previously mentioned tainted strains that you can get if you buy it off a dealer.

It's long past due for it to be decriminalised.

It doesn't have to be tainted to trigger schizophrenia. It does mess with the brain. People need to be careful. However, filling up prisons with people over smoking pot is ridiculous.

It triggers latent schizophrenia in those so predisposed, yeah. It's not a direct causative effect.

[Redway]

If you drink with it it will mess you up, friends at school called it 'throwing a whitey'. I don't get why being a professional would make it less likely if smoked for years to have any adverse affects either :/

So throwing a whitey's justification for locking up peeps who fancied a high?

[Gstar]

Basically what Dezzy said

Let's not forget cannabis was a legit form of medication in the olden days. People still use it for medicinal purposes today. (Probably already mentioned but cbf reading back)

I really don't think that was what Kizzy said. :unsure:

Obviously not directly but I know kizzy's part of the anti-weed squad. The thing about these arguments against legalising weed is that most of them are rooted in personal bias and subjectivity. It's one thing to not rate drugs as a person but that doesn't hold water when it comes to debating its legality.

[Daniel.]

I did it in March for the first time in like three years, I did it quite a bit in 2012 - 2013

[Denver]

I think i like it better when it is illegal

[JTM45]

I think i like it better when it is illegal

Things are definitely more fun when they're illegal and before the squares all get involved...............kinda' like Glastonbury. Not that it was ever illegal but it was much more fun before everyone and their nan started going. :laugh:

[armand.kay]

I'm not a big smoker but some of my friends are so I always end up smoking it like 3 times a week. I like it but I don't know how people can be constantly high I enjoy being sober to much.

Where did I say that?...

How about you speak for yourself and not me please.

Never have and never will.

[DouglasS]

I smoke it way too much. I have friends over in the evenings and we just do it

[Littlegreen]

It smells of old teabags.
