Negative. I own a V-Tower Extreme and its right up there with the Volcano. I bought mine last year so I know they're cheaper now..200??

Those are good.. you can get a "Da Buddha" cheap but it doesn't have a digital display. Works like a charm, finding the right temp is like a 10 minute learning curve.

Shut up, it doesn't kill brain cells.


Moving on, the cons of marijuana... people will only know the cons of MJ if they smoke it.

That being said, they're not a lot of cons to MJ... from my personal experience at least.

Cons.. Short term memory loss, wasting lots of money 

, IF MJ is all you do.. you won't get %$#% done. It messes with your lungs.. but i'm positive not as much as a cig would. The main thing is that it is illegal..

Smoking MJ > smoking  a cigarette.

7. Hinders your decision making abilities. Impairs your cognitive skills to drive, read, concentrate, etc.
8. The smoke yellows your teeth. Gum disease.
9. Lowers your inhibition. Examples: Sex and/or usage of other recreational drugs.
10. and last but not least, ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION!

1). I hit the gym faded.

2). Don't know the research on this one so I'll give you that.
3). Not even. I get quite a few things done while on.

4). Not if you got it.

5). Never cared what people thought.

6). Only deletes the bad memories.

7). Not at all. I drive better...10 and 2 all day.

. Same as 2
9). Naw, I don't do drugs.

10). #@@+ STAY hard when I'm faded sir.

And most girls i know that smoke weed on the regular are straight scavengers (word to snoop dog in half baked). They come around smoke your weed and just leave.

I know people that smoke weed like once in a while when its offered to them and its free. But I won't do it because iv made it 22 years without even trying it and i don't want to be just another person that tried weed a couple of times. I like saying that i have never and will never smoke anything. I don't think im missing out on anything.

Laziness is one thing, because I know a lot of people who just gets extremely baked after matching one.  But, that's only if you allow yourself to be like that.
After I match one up, I go find my cookie monster t-shirt and make a ninja mask out of it and go play ninja out in the quad on campus (usually at 2 am). 

I'm usually on my Chronicles of Narnia, so I always tunnel out everything and picture my surronding as somewhat either in the era when Marty had to go back into time to get back that sports book that would make that dude a millionaire in Back to the Future II, or the Wonder Years show that used to be on Nick.  I'm usually always traveleing back in time.

When I'm not, I see myself in:

-Mister Rogers Neighborhood
-Willy Wonkas Chocolate Factory
-Jurassic Park
-Hogwarts, chillin' with Dumbledore and the gang
-Italy, Greece, or Paris.
-Narnia

... Only time when I'm baked on a couch is when it's a good movie and tons of food around me  (which is every time after I match one up after my visits to many places).

On topics like these, I can literally go on and on.

Niketalk smoke-a-thon???

 

[bruce waynee]

Really depends on if you abuse it and let it control your life.

I smoke probably every other day on average and still go to school full time, have a job, and play ball 3-4 times a week.

As long as you're in control and not the drug then you're straight.

NikeTalk smoke-a-thon would be ill.



I only see a couple NTers hanging with me though. Joe, Prima, Fizzy and whoever else I forgot. If you even take a glimps of what these dudes are smoking you'll be

You sound like one of my boy.  And I'm going to tell you the same thing I tell him.

You're missing out man, life gets so much more vivid afterwards, and you just appreciate everything around you, all your problems are gone.



  

the *+%$? you accidently eat shrooms or something?

 

[championedition]

im gonna drop a bomb on ya'll.

most of the people who "started smokin weed and smoked their selves ******ed/fell off/did other drugs", could you tell me, honestly, that they weren't going to go down a %%#$$$ up path anyway?
most of the people i know who smoked tons of weed and ended up being a druggie or general loser, were going to be druggies and losers anyway. weed probally kept them from killing up a bunch of people or robbin everyone.

take a person such as myself, i've been high every waking hour for the last 9 days. (trying to set a record) the second i come down i smoke again or eat something yummy made of cannabutter or canasugar...
am i a burnt out loser drop out who's addicted to reefer having aids filled gangbangs with tons of women shooting cops sniffing coke, or am i a regular %$! dude?
IM HIGH RIGHT NOW. RIGHT THE ##%+ NOW. and im listening to invisible touch by Genesis typing to you guys.

THC does nothing to permanently harm the brain nor does it have any dependency capabilities. well you get dependent on not snapping and slapping the #$%% out of someone, but if you cant restrain yourself from that no matter what, you're %%#$$$ in the head anyway.

 

[zerogravity23]

 

[Master Zik]

I'm not saying it's happened but how many ppl have got lung cancer from only smoking weed?

@ one joint equaling 7-10 cigarettes. Outright lies.

i understand its all good if its not something you do often

but in my case... i blow a nice amount of $ on it a year that could've gone to a better use, but i say ehh @*$+ it

lol right. but thats why its best to cop in Oz or more. saves a lot of $$$... 

 

[crank lucas]

my only con is that the high doesnt officially wear off till mid next day, so if you have to do something early you will feel real haziness and hard to concentrate, but its temporary

I guess it beats a hangover where your stomach is in knots

Ok now add a vaporizer and compare it to cigarettes or alcohol or even coffee.

Most vapes are horrible unless you pony up 6 bills for the Volcano. With cheap vaporizers, you end up toasting the flowers cause you don't even know if you're burning it at the right temp.

No comparison between cigarettes Cigs = nicotine a proven addictive drug. 

No comparison between alcohol either because alcohol is served openly in America 24/7 in most states.  Destroys your liver and other health diseases.  Drunk drivers. Etc.

Now the list I put up there is just some of the cons that some users have experienced.  Each and everyone of us have a different chemistry makeup in our bodies so obviously THC use varies.  Most users I know including myself have absolutely no problems.  They function normal when high. Still able to drive coherently, are professionals with high paying jobs with a family. They live a healthy lifestyle, and able to #%@$ like porn stars so... MJ use is nothing to them.  However there are some that have problems with just one puff.  They can't stay up and end up sleeping or one girl I know started to have an anxiety attack due to the increase in her heart rate. 

Lol while there are crappy vaporizers out there depending on the style vaporizers it becomes second nature when it comes to dialing in what position to put the dial, temp, or how soft to inhale after a few tries.

This is a bi product of smoking marijuana, rather than vaporizing.

If every citizen were forced to be properly educated on Research Methods and Statistics the world would be an infinitely better place.



Edit: It just occurred to me that currently only the blissfully ignorant, the educated, and or the ones who just don't give a *%%%, are rewarded(for the most part) with the marijuana experience. Almost justifies the current misinformation on marijuana, by both proponents and opponents, in a poetic justice sort of way.
