Should I try smoking pot?

Question 1
Should I try smoking pot?...  I'm a high school junior on the football team. I've never drank, or smoked pot (I have constant sex, tho, so I do have somewhat of a life).. But some of my friends have offered it to meant parties and sleepovers and stuff. Is it worth the risk of getting caught or ratted out or should inwait till college? Or should I continue down my golden boy path? Thanks...

1)   Smoking pot is a decision that only you can make for yourself depending on your life style and surroundings. Considering you're on the football team though, I probably wouldn't consider it because I believe they can make you take drug tests and it could really ruin your reputation.
But if you are willing to start smoking and take the risks of getting caught and in trouble, then go right ahead, and be safe and smart about it.
Good luck - peachyxkeen27

2)   No just no it will mess up everything even football. Don't mess up your life. - Zoe S

3)   Smoke weed pussy. - jack n

4)   Never hurts to try something once, just remember that if you keep smoking it you wont be able to play football and goodbye scholarship if thats how you plan on going to college - DMAN4219

5)   Im a freshman in high school and also on a football team( if you care). Drinking doesn't do much as long as you don't drink and drive. Smoking pot isn't THAT bad as some people may try to portray. Its fun to do every now and then (Like once every 2 or so months). AS long as you don't abuse or overdue on the 2 you should be fine if you want to try it. This is just my opinion, you don't have to take it into consideration.

EDIT and also I saw people saying they make you take you take drugs tests, but they only take a steroids test every couple of years (at least in my school district) - Mc Fish

6)   Hell yes, it's awesome. Not reguraly tho - Cara Gunu

7)   If you can keep it moderate which sounds like you will just smoking at parties and don't drive or anything on it. I have smoked marijuana pretty regularily (not every day) for years now and don't drink at all and have never tried any harder drugs or wanted to. It's not a gateway drug like you learned throughout school. It is no worse than alcohol but like alcohol you just have to use It responsibly.
Smoke on! - Chuck Greene

8)   Sure try it. But if you like it PLEASE don't smoke it everyday. It will mess up your life. Trust me. But just letting u know you don't need weed. People never made me try it. I just tried it without pressure. When I tried it I thought I was all badass and wanted to tell the world I was smoking pot but really no body gives a shit if you smoke weed. Don't be stupid and tell people who never tried it or don't like it that you've smoked weed. (If you do try it.) They will over react and might tell an adult and shit can happen. But yeah it's okay once in a while. I find it's awesome in social sits. It made me depressed though:/ weed never killed anyone js. Oh and since you've never smoked before you'll cough if you do it right and do not swallow smoke:0. Oh and most likely you won't get high the first time. And if you do try it consider what your using to smoke out of: joint(never had one but a lot of first timers have it) blunt(not recommended) pipe or bong(good for new smokers cuz it cools the smoke) but yeah like I said don't feel pressured to try it. Enjoy - Alexx

9)   DUDE!!! i was the same as you...instead of jumping straight to bud i suggest smoking some SPICE, its like weed, but its 100% legal in all states (cheaper too) you can buy off eBay, ive been for a while. Here's the link if your interested:

10)   Whatever you do DO NOT TRY SPICE!!!!!! ITS NOTHING LIKE MARIJUANA!!!! But if you are to try, start off with something light. Don't go straight for the Kush, or Blueberry. Some good regular to get a feel for what its like. Then if you decide that its ok for you (and not interfering with your life) try better grades. Every high isn't the same. Different people have different experiences. - HiGuy

Question 2
is it dangerous to take LSD? what are the risks?...  please list sources. first good question gets the 10 pts.

Answers
1)   LSD is a drug no one should try. Every google resource says so and i have personal experince. I think you shouldnt do any drugs but if you really want to try weed its not addictive (well for me it wasnt) and healtheist drug out there. - Brian

2)   yes. probably the worst risks are a 'bad trip' and also sometimes people have memories of bad trips triggered by things such as sounds or smells, and they can literally go crazy or commit suicide. so LSD can kill you. - RxGirl

3)   there are risks with taking any drug. the risks with LSD are having a bad trip, getting caught, and/or jumping off a building because you believe you can fly.(it has happened) ways to avoid these risk are to make sure your in a calm setting with someone watching you. - Chad

4)   Physically, LSD is safe. It is not toxic (there is no known LD-50) and has only tiny physical symptoms.

The risk is in psychological alteration - people think about and perceive the world very differently on acid. So it's a behavioral risk, but a much much exaggerated one. One in a million people does something stupid and it makes headlines.

The best thing to do is be with experienced and/or sober friends the whole time and you should be fine. - Bryan M

5)   LSD is dangerous because it impairs a person's judgement and makes them more likely to get injured or have an accident. There have been reports of people jumping off buildings, murdering someone, and getting into fatal accidents while on this drug. Driving under the influence of this drug would be a very bad idea. LSD can also trigger anxiety or panic attacks. People can have bad trips, so it's not a good idea to take this drug when you are alone. If you were to take it, which I DON'T recommend, be sure you are with a trusted friend who stays sober so you don't do anything to hurt yourself.
Mixing LSD with antidepressents or lithum can cause bad reactions. LSD doesn't cause brain damage like other drugs can, but the fact that it impairs one's judgement is what makes it so dangerous. Also people can trip out of the blue even months after taking this drug. Never take it if you have depression or anxiety because it will increase these feeling tenfold, making you more likely to hurt yourself while under the influence. - Lella

6)   Anyone who takes LSD is crazy . Everyone has a different experience but none of them are good. You are in a totally bizarre sometimes frightening world with no escape. And if you only take it once you can have flashbacks many years later. Do you have any idea how many people soared off buildings convinced they could fly ? My 'source' is living thru the time it was popular . - Beverley Mitchell

7)   All drugs have risks.

LSD in rare cases can cause temporary psychosis; which can last days or weeks. This condition is extremely rare but does happen to first time users, and users who have taken LSD multiple times.

You can also get bad acid; that can make you sick to your stomach. This makes for a crappy trip, known as a bad trip.

You are not going to jump off buildings, thinking you can fly; but you might get injured or killed not paying enough attention to your surroundings.

If you want to know more about LSD you can click on my name and checked starred section; find question "what is acid (the drug).

You will find a more detailed answer I wrote a few days ago on that thread. - john

8)   out of the 50 or so people i know who have taken lsd none of them have had a problem or regretted taking taking it. i have done lsd probably about 100 times i rarely do it now because it kind of lost its magic. i have had a few bad trips but not in the way you would expect i just did not have a good time or something ruined my night. dont drive on it and youll be fine ( i had to move my truck out of the drive way and onto the road and it was a bit of a challenge. of course it didnt help having my friend telling me my wheels where still on the side walk when they weren't) - hey you

Question 3
[potheads] How long until...?...  I smoked 1 blunt by mysef and shared 3 blunts with my friends...how long will it take for me to be clean?

Details: I weigh 135 and I am 5'4, my body build is SLIM and I occasionally work a sweat working around the house.

Thank You!!

Answers
1)   How long ago did you smoke prior to this session? The more often you smoke, the longer it takes to get out of your system. For the quickest elimination, do a lot of exercise, drink a lot of water, & eat a lot of food (pretty much get your metabolism & secretion pathways going). I smoked frequently (like 4 times a week) & I got clean in less than 2 weeks and I'm 5'3 125lbs. - Shyla "Visionary" Devonne

2)   Depending on how good the weed is you should come down from your high in a couple hours. But It could take a couple weeks before u will be able to pass a piss test. - Dan Poulin

3)   About 4-6 months totally. Out of your pee prolly like 3-4. Drink prune juice, that helps me :) - Dave Rudd

4)   Dude..you should try SPICE its 100% Legal, i smoked like 2 days before I got drug tested and still got the job!! Here's the link if your interested:

Question 4
Low iron...help please?...  have really low iron and I just got a bloodtest and they said they would give me some iron supplements or medication or something do you know how long it will take for my symptoms to go away. If u don't know make a guess please, thanks

Answers
1)   My grandson was on iron tablets for a couple of years. It will depend on your general health. Routine blood tests will tell you when all is well. - I'm Listening...

2)   It's different for everyone but when I had to take an Iron supplement I took Slow Fe and it took a good 3-4 weeks before I started to feel energetic again. - Joy Brown

3)   Depending on if you have low iron because your body cant absorb it or you just have a natural deficiency.

If your naturally deficient it should take about a week or two for the symptoms to start getting better, they will not fully be over till your iron gets back up to the normal level. You might get sleepy from the tabs they will give you ferrous sulfate (sp) is generally what they give, if you get to sleepy from them tell the doctor they can switch you over to pre natal vitamins and it will help not to mention your hair and nails will look great.

Oh yeah just so you know all iron supplements will turn your poo dark green/black its completely normal. - Jess

4)   How long you will have to take them depends on what is causing to be low. If it is your diet, and you need pills to build up iron stores, 6-12 weeks perhaps. If it is because you are having a growth spurt and you are making cells and tissues really fast, you'll be low because iron goes into making those cells faster than you can eat it, so you need to add more so you won't be weak.

Usually though...8 weeks is a good guess (it IS a guess) with most people feeling most improvement in the first 30 days. - Tink
