To start smoking weed?

[marleybob]

Single parent. Find the days stressful and long and the evenings boring and lonely. WIBU to start smoking weed to help me chill out? Can't ask anyone in real life, don't know where I'd get it from mind but it seems appealing ?

I know plenty of people that have a drink every night. Alcohol will kill your liver. Weed is not bad for you and impossible to overdose on.

My cousin developed psychosis after smoking weed. It ultimately led to his death so it's not something to take lightly.

I'm a bit sleepy but after my cup of coffee I'm perfectly capable and a great mum

Erm yeah crack on if you want to be a stinky druggie. Why would you actively initiate a drug problem? Do some exercise or read a book.

If you have smoked in the past I doubt you are going to develop the psychosis. Yes it can trigger it, but it is something that was already in your brain, not caused by the pot.

If you do start smoking it, do you know how much you will spend ?!! You will be broke by the end of the month.

You're insane. Three people I went to uni with developed psychosis because of weed. Ones now dead. And I didn't have a large circle of friends (these were friends of friends) so god knows how prevalent it is. It's a killer of ambition. Horrible horrible stuff

Weed isn't bad for you? Get off MN and educate yourself. Non alcoholics generally don't drink everyday. Perhaps have a long hard look at your social circle.

🙄

Not sure how much it is these days to be honest

Killer of ambition? DH and I both get up every morning and take care of our home our kids and his job. He is quite quickly moving up in his company and makes a decent living for us. My DC are not in school yet and I am a SAHM with them and they are happy healthy lovely children that I do all sorts of things with through the day. Once my DS starts school I will be back at work. We both have ambition and motivation. I also know plenty of others who smoke weed and have full happy wonderful lives.

I think I'll report this one...

I have smoked weed for 10 years for pain relief. I didn't smoke whilst pregnant. But it's not from boredom or to eliminate mental health issues such as anxiety etc. Now maybe twice a month I smoke maybe one joint?

Nobody but my DH & GP know and you wouldn't guess by looking at me

But if it's just because you're bored I wouldn't.

Yes, total killer of ambition. Don't kid yourselves. Why on earth would anyone even consider taking this up?

What are you looking for, is this a troll thread? Are you looking for pro/anti weed comments?

Do I think a small about of weed is bad, no. Do I think it's better for you than having a drink, yes. Do I think you should be out looking for a random dealer, no. Do I think you should smoke it while in sole charge of a child/children, no.

Was it you who posted the other day asking the same thing?

Don't be stupid.

If you started a thread saying- should I start drinking , I would say don't be stupid.

If you started a thread saying should I start smoking tobacco, I would tell you the horrible way my Mum just died.

Don't be so fucking stupid.

I recommend cross stitch. HTH

LOL @ 'marleybob'. Yeah, toke up!

The world would be a much better place if everyone had a nice toke from time to time I think.

MN is like the squarest, most pious 12 year olds back at school at times like this

We need to sort the uk drug laws out. Wine o'clock is totally socially acceptable, yet taking a hit from the bong is frowned upon.
Try to deal with pressure without any type of drug, would be your best bet

You claim to have smoked before but don't know the feeling the next morning. You don't know a dealer and you don't know how much, are you hoping that someone on mn is going to start supplying?
Maybe find another hobby that isn't quite as illegal...

It's better than wine... I don't really understand the hysteria here.

@FloralCouchPants
You're not talking now and again are you? You say you do this most days.
Smoking weed is proven to have long term mental health implications.
And it's illegal.
When your kids reach school age you could find yourself reported to ss. Smoking illegal drugs is a safeguarding concern.
