I'm only asking cause a lot of you people claim to do it and have no problems. I'd like to hear their opinions.

Why am I making this thread? Well, theres a rave going on a few blocks from here... loud as hell, sounds like the best time of those peoples lives is being lived right now.

Isn't the party over by now?

Raves are meant to be enjoyed while blissfully joyful and content as if in a constant orgasm, not while in an attention-deficit-plagued retarded stupor

If I wanted attention, I know of atleast a good 100 methods that are more effective than speaking about a subject that I am not particulary familiar with the other side of the opinions. I want to hear opinions. I don't want to develop an addiction or do this constantly or anything. Just like you know, a once or twice experience in life. But even now I'm having my doubts. Don't know... well good night. If you want to see an attention deficient person, refer to your own post, which serves no purpose other than to attack someone (me), while I try to ask a legitimate question.

guys, stop picking on him

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (AD/HD or ADHD) is a neurobehavioral developmental disorder. It affects about 3 to 5% of children globally with symptoms starting before seven years of age. There is wide variability in estimates depending on research methodologies utilized in studies. It is characterized by a persistent pattern of impulsiveness and inattention, with or without a component of hyperactivity. ADHD is diagnosed twice as frequently in boys as in girl, though studies suggest this discrepancy may be due to subjective bias ADHD is generally a chronic disorder with 30 to 50% of those individuals diagnosed in childhood continuing to have symptoms into adulthood. As they mature, adolescents and adults with ADHD are likely to develop coping mechanisms to compensate for their impairment.

Though previously regarded as a childhood diagnosis, ADHD can continue throughout adulthood. ADHD has a strong genetic component.

Methods of treatment usually involve some combination of medications, behavior modifications, life-style changes, and counseling. The American Academy of Pediatrics states that stimulant medications and/or behavior therapy are appropriate and generally safe treatments for ADHD. However, a 2006 meta-analysis found a lack of data regarding ADHD drugs' potential adverse effects, with very few studies assessing the safety or efficacy of treatments beyond 4 months, and no randomized controlled trials assessing either for periods of usage longer than two years. Treatment of pre-school children with medications is not recommended.

ADHD and its diagnosis and treatment have been considered controversial since the 1970s. The controversies have involved clinicians, teachers, policymakers, parents, and the media, with opinions regarding ADHD that range from not believing it exists at all to believing there are genetic and physiological bases for the condition, and also include disagreement about the use of stimulant medications in treatment.

marijuana is bad for you, but not overly so:

However, SF_Gold. I say no, and here's why. Marijuana is illegal, and it's addictive (regardless of whether it's physically addictive or emotionally is irrelevant). I've seen people put their lives on hold because of their addiction. Rather than wanting to go out and do anything, they just want to sit at home all day and smoke weed. It's true that other people are able to smoke socially (I used to be one of them) by smoking here and there without making it a big part of their lives. But you don't know what kind of smoker you're going to be, and it is my opinion that it is not worth the risk. Instead of smoking just go out and drink alcohol. It's much more fun anyway.

What a terrible post

What a terrible post

And way more harmful. *******.

Nope. Pot is for adults and people who already have a stable life. It can ruin you if you don't know how to deal with responsibilities at the same time.

The fact that I smoke pot has nothing to do with why Sarn's post is awful. He is recommending someone drink ALCOHOL over pot because pot is addictive. Anyone else find the flaw in this logic?

Second, he's trying to tell you you shouldn't do something simply because "it's illegal". That doesn't make it morally wrong, and even some of our laws are morally wrong (like persecuting someone for smoking dope that has a frigging disease). Have you ever downloaded a torrent? Downloaded porn? Downloaded anything you didn't own? Well, you've committed just as illegal an act as smoking pot.

Which one would you rather do? Sit at home and jerk off alone drinking some booze, or smoke a joint with some friends (and maybe even meet some people in the process)?
