Don't consider Italy that bad. I've heard that psychiatries in Italy are the best in Europe. And the most renowned rehab institution for heroine addicts is near Lecce in the very south of Italy.

Sorry no, I can't remember the place's name, but one thing I'm sure it's close to Lecce in the region of Puglia.
By the way, I think I've already told you Francesca, I've got an "Italian zia" living in Turi close to Bari, and my girlfriend's father is from Montemilone, also in Puglia.

Why  ?
I've been to 2 weddings in this region and it was amazing to see that lunch lasted until 3 o'clock in the morning!

Ophone, I respectfully disagree with your statement...nothing can cause a person to be lazy or paranoid but themselves. perhaps it ENHANCES whatever feelings a person has already...so if you feel like cleaning, it intensifies that feeling. If you are already feeling paranoia, it will intensify that feeling. It can't make you feel something you don't already feel. If you feel hungry, it will make you notice it more....if you're not hungry, it will not make you all of a sudden feel hungry.
And the doctors gave it to my uncle when he was dying of cancer from smoking tobacco all his life. I've heard numerous people who use it for glaucoma.
I'd rather someone be stoned than drunk...seems like alcohol contributes to more problems, such as abuse, liver disease, and of course drunk driving than pot does. |

Well i agree with Ophone.. but I know that everyone is individual and unique which is why they are affected by this drug differently, one man's medicine can be another man's poison.. You can't just say it's "because of this" or "because of that" people react in a certain way.. Everyone is different... I agree that excessive alcohol abuse is just as bad if not worse, absolutely right there...
A close friend of mine committed suicide last sunday 30th September.. ... I am going to his funeral on Tuesday.. He was high on MJ and god knows what else, he never drank alcohol tho..(which I always found interesting). I am not saying it was the MJ - don't get me wrong, but it didn't help him. He used to smoke MJ a lot ... I just don't know why he ended his life.. .. he was such an outgoing super guy, but you can never know what is going on in other people's heads.. It's just so sad...I still can't believe he's gone now..

Missy, I'm sorry to hear about your friend. On the downside...if you're feeling despair and depressed you are right, mj is not going to make the situation better.
My first thought any time there is an apparent suicide is...are you sure it was a suicide? There are accidental deaths as well as homicides. My friend died in his vehicle in the garage of carbon monoxide poisoning...it was ruled a suicide, but I knew the guy so well I knew he would never intentionally take his life. He even stated this to me directly, so I always felt uneasy about the fact that his death was ruled suicide. I began to think it was foul play involving a family member...finally, i went to one of these channelers (who contact dead people), just for some clarity...and was told that it was a stupid accident, and not suicide nor murder. I felt I could believe that more than any other explanation. Regardless of the cause of your friend's death, my condolences to you. |

. . . mmmmmm - smoking mj ???
I did smoke marijuana and other stuff. But weed was my favourite.
However, I gave up smoking ordinary cigarettes, mj, and anything else a long time ago.
I enjoy the smoking pleasure - it's something I would do if it were not detrimental to everybodies health and was not the dirty revolting addiction that it turns into.
Moderation with any addictive substance is a nice idea, but things don't always work out like that. To quote nearly everybodies comments on this thread (BTW - Thanks Grizz I'll look up that link to the former disucssion), individuals react individually to different substances.
Addictions and substance abuse are things that effect nearly 99% of each persons life, directly or indirectly, we each know of someone personally, a neighbour, a kid we went to school with or a family member who has struggled with their own life and ruined their loved one's lives with them.
I was lucky, I got away with a lot, and gratefully I never hurt anyone or did anything bad. I never judge addicts - nobody wants to be there. I know people who are living in the hell of addiction.
I'm very anti-alchohol - and not because I am Muslim, and I never preach. Everyone has demons of one sort or another, identifying them, confronting them and dealing with them is the labour of life that no-one is exempt from. I abhorr the way alcohol is so readily accepted and is one of the worst addictive substances there is. |

yes, i use to smoke maryjane but no longer smoke it , due to circumstances that have occured in my life that made me want to stop (not a health reason) , its been ages since ive been blasted off the planet after smoking so i cant tell weather its changed how happy or whatevr ive beenn, but i kno that im not as intune with somethings as i used to be .... and if iwas continue smoking again it would only be maryjane and not horrible nicotine which is putrid ! id rather inhale something that would enchance and progress into soemthing more meaninful than just a poison going into my body.... |

Catman !!! Nice to hear from you.
But maybe I need to clean my monitor's screen because I think I may have read your ost wrongly . . . you've given up the weed ???
. . . joking aside, good for you Catters !!! I wish you the very best of health as always, and Jamiroquai will be able to fill any void that Mary Jane may have left.
Congratulations for whatever reason prompted you, in all honesty it can only be for the better.

I did smoke mj and I smoke it eventually. I don't go out to buy. I don't get desperate if I don't smoke it, I can happily live without it. But now I remember the feeling and the good times I had when I smoked with friends, and I must say I prefer smoking weed that drinking. Actually, in Argentina, teenagers are having trouble with the mix of pills (specially extasis) and alcohol. That's when I start thinking marihuana should be legal. That fuc#%ing thing is killing them. Plus, making it legal it'd be an honest thing to do, let's take our masks off!
