Random Drug Testing

[Forged]

I've saved my money and used it on stuff like university, computer, etc.

My parents bought me my car, and are going to pay for my college...
I have a job so if I actually need something I cam buy that instead of drugs...

Somebody was saying somewhere else here that, although weed isn't addicting, people get addicted to the feeling of being high.  *shrug*

Yeah.

My parents couldn't afford either, so I'm on my own in terms of finances.  I get to live with them, and they buy me food, but that's where it ends.  I've paid for 100% of my university so far (about $3000/year) on my own.

The way my friend explained the 'addicted to the high feeling' is way simple, yet makes sense.

The little endorphine producers normally produce endorphine & it travels to the endorphine receptors, which eventually sends it back, or something of the sort that it gets reused.  What pot does is kills some of the producers (IIRC) so that from doing that same amount of weed, you'll never be that high ever again.  Eventually you have to be *high* just to be normal.

I don't believe that's right.

[Meh]

It is right. If you use too much you have to go to bigger drugs ti get the same high as when you started. I dont use drugs but thats what I have been told.

[K]

Woah woah, not bigger DRUGS, bigger AMOUNTS.

You don't start bumping heroin cause you want the high you got when you smoked pot.

[Meh]

That wont always work. How do you think people go on to heroin and stuff. Because Pot doesnt work for them any more.l

...which makes it a 'gateway' drug.

[Meh]

Exactley. I "Had" a friend who was really clever, then oneday he smoked some pot and now i dont know what he on. I talk to him when I see him but scince he started using I havnt hung out with him.

No, it's because once they smoked pot they became horrible drug crazed fiends who are going to hell and/or prison.  Your "facts" seem awfully like you got them from a middle school drug scare class.

Yes but off of a guy who did drugs.

According to WebMD pot makes you smarter, when used in moderation (less than 5 joints a week will raise your IQ roughly 5.8 points.)

According to recent developments we have determined that people who inhale car exhaust on a regular basis(although don't abuse it!) are 5 times less likley to have cancer!

All joking aside, people who don't abuse drugs (as much) are generally smarter to start with.

Could this be the chicken/egg paradox?  Maybe people aren't dumb because they do drugs, but they're dumb so they do drugs!

Smoking weed builds a tolerance. I wouldn't say weed is addicting, unless its killer shit and you really never felt a high like that before. I've done weed before, a couple months back. It wasn't addicting at all, I plan to go to Canada over the summer and do it again (good shit down in BC and its cheaper plus my cousins get hooked up.) Although, I think cigge's are real bad, there addicting. If you are a person in control, doing drugs such as Weed or even drinking wont mess you up.
