<p>If you've never smoked weed before and you try it when you're drunk I can practically guarantee you'll puke your brains out.&nbsp; </p><p>If you want to have a couple of beers first that's OK, but definitely not when you're shitfaced. &nbsp;</p>

[weekapaugjz]

i say give it a try.&nbsp; take a hit or two, it will be enough if you've never smoked before, mixed with a few beers and you will be in a perfect mood.&nbsp; if you don't like it, never smoke again.&nbsp; hey, and maybe before too long you might change your name to mellowedoutmatt.

[StupidGirlllll]

<font size="3">how old are you? If you are in your 30's do not succumb to peer presure, you know better than that. after all weed can lead to other harder drugs. you do not watch those drug commercials on TV?</font>

[keithy_19]

<p>Matt, I'm actually in the same boat as you, 'cept I'm 18. </p><p>The thought of smoking pot has never appealed to me. But, if I wasn't in a relationship(she reall doesn't want me to smoke pot) I probably would. Just out of curiosity. </p><p>After the pot I'd do coke, then heroin. Then Meth. I'd move to california and finally hit rock bottom. I'd kick the habits and move back to Jersey and release my solo album explaining y rise, fall, and mild success after. Life is good. </p>

Don't do it Matt!!!!! unless you want to spend the rest of your life in a mental ward!!!!

Fuck that couple of tokes....suck it all down and pray to Buddha!!!

[Andomray]

<p>If you're going to do this, definitely don't drink and smoke.&nbsp; That's the only time I've blacked out, and thankfully I was with people I trust.&nbsp; Then again, smoking out of an can was probably not the smartest thing to do...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Hopefully you're not one of those paranoid people.</p>

[MrPink]

I never had fun with pot. I'm too paranoid for it. Skip the pot and &quot;do coke like an adult&quot;! If you must smoke pot, make sure it's White Widow.

[nassue]

<p>mad matt....&nbsp; try it!</p><p>weed is one of the few drugs you that is guaranteed not to do any harm to your body </p><p>i smoke daily and regard it like a combo of fine wine and tobacco</p><p>a thick green sticky bud is a fabulous thing</p>

[SarahImpact]

<p>At first I thought the answer was so easy!&nbsp; If you haven't done it, and your questioning trying it, you should try it at least once so that you have done it.&nbsp; The last thing you want to do is&nbsp;be laying on your death bed thinking that you might have missed out on something.&nbsp; But on the other hand, I know some people who went until their 40's without ever trying it.&nbsp; Once they did, they regretted it because they were no longer one of the few who never fell to the peer pressure.&nbsp; </p>

[BLZBUBBA]

<p>Have tried it but was always a bit put off by the &quot;quality control&quot; issues.&nbsp; You&nbsp;might light one up and get&nbsp;a buzz little more than a Marlboro.&nbsp; Then again you may be very happy happy for a couple of hours.&nbsp; And today's weed is supposedly much much potent than when I was fooling with it.&nbsp; So if you were to try it I'd suggest you find a friend who has some and has already sampled it.&nbsp; That way you know what your getting.&nbsp; Not to mention going out and buying it and THEN...getting a Marlboro-like buzz.&nbsp; A real bummer.&nbsp;Or some mega-potent shit you aren't ready for.&nbsp; It's all&nbsp;about the quality.&nbsp;</p><p>Myself?&nbsp; Gave it up years ago.&nbsp; Not for moral or legal reasons though.&nbsp; Had no real problem with pot...other than those listed above.&nbsp; It's just that they randomly test us at work and it stays in your system a while.&nbsp; You might want to consider that.&nbsp; </p><p>Also...If you're planning a job search anytime soon.&nbsp; Drug tests are required these days.&nbsp; And some jobs (law enforcement or security)&nbsp;may even require you take a lie-detector test. Saying you smoked a&nbsp;joint twenty years ago is one thing.&nbsp; Saying you smoked one last week is a different ballgame.</p><p>Actually...I do miss those parties and the bong hits.&nbsp; But maybe it's my youth I'm missing.&nbsp; I really miss the freedom to take a bong hit ON MY TIME OFF....and not having to worry about losing my job come Monday because&nbsp;of a random drug test.&nbsp; ALSO...Where I work you could be walking down a hallway and if say...a light bulb falls and hits you...YOU GET TESTED.&nbsp; It's bullshit. </p><p>Nazi bastards are running (ruining) this country.</p>

[Bob Impact]

My answer is always do it.&nbsp; I think there should be nothing in life left undone, if it's smokable smoke it, if it's drinkable drink it, and if it's edible eat it!

[ralphbxny]

Do it !! I would just agree with G-vac dont do it when your shit faces do it to enhance the alcohol!

[mendyweiss]

<img src="http://homepages.poptel.org.uk/DrDrew/reefer-madness.jpg" border="0" width="273" height="403" />Don't do it bro !!!

<p>Yeah, my spin on this is pure curiosity.&nbsp; I'm not out to get completely hammered, flout the law like a rebel, or to be &quot;cool.&quot;&nbsp; I just wonder what it's like and am past the point of worrying about &quot;what&nbsp;it will do to&nbsp;me.&quot;&nbsp; I have gotten beyond the Reagan Era anti-drug propoganda that has flooded my head since my tweens.</p><p>My job doesn't do drug testing, so that isn't a concern.&nbsp; And I am not too worried about the &quot;government job&quot; thing, although it is something to keep in the back of my mind.</p><p>My biggest concern is my infant daughter - and No, I will not be smoking anywhere near where she is or will be.&nbsp; I am thinking about my future as a parent.&nbsp; Do I go with &quot;I never tried it so you shouldn't either&quot; or &quot;I have tried it, but there are a lot of possible consequences so let's discuss them.&quot;&nbsp; I plan on a frank discussion anyway, but do I go in having experienced the subject or as a drug virgin?</p><p>Overall, I can't deny my curiosity.&nbsp; Of course I am also curious what freefall without a parachute is like, but I don't plan on trying that.&nbsp; </p><p>I guess I am just &quot;up in the air&quot; on this decision and really appreciate the input you guys have provided.&nbsp; If there are any more ideas or opinions, keep them coming!</p>

[Chigworthy]

It's too late, you blew it.&nbsp; You should have abused it all through high school like a normal person.&nbsp; You're in your&nbsp;&quot;hopeless drunk who does coke whenever it's presented&quot;&nbsp;years now.&nbsp; It's so sad when someone has a stunted upbringing.

[bigtim666]

Go for the weed&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

[zentraed]

i have to agree with some of the others. i don't really like to do weed by itself. have a beer or two and then smoke a little. you'll probably end up doing less of both that way. if you decide to get *really* high, take some notes or make some recordings, watch a movie, listen to an album. your brain makes more connections while you're high, but you won't remember them...
