Me either. It just doesn't sit well with me no matter how I tried. I know it can be beneficial for chronic pain and anxiety. I find kratom to be more effective on both medical conditions. I use it daily and am very thankful to have stubbled upon this miracle plant.

Better stock up on your kratom because addicts are now using it for it's opioid properties. The government looking to make it a scheduled narcotic because of the deaths from it's use.

@2TuffTony kratom is used, effectively , to stop addiction. Death supposedly due to Kratom 44.
Deaths due to tylenol 15,000. Big Pharm are now experimenting with Kratom. Of course they want to stop the sell of Kratom. This plant will generate them a hefty profit.

@Lethallips I'm not knocking it. Just saying addicts are using it to get high. The FDA/DEA has it under scrutiny and they are considering scheduling as a controlled substance.

@2TuffTony. Gosh how sad that you think this way. They are not using Kratom to get high. It simply does not have that capability. They are using it ro get past detoxing.

@Lethallips sorry, didn't mean to get you upset. Just relating what I've read and what my two idiot cousins are doing with it. They brew it like tea or something? They smoked that artificial pot herb stuff too and used bath salts, etc. So, just saying you might not be able to get it as easy, soon. Words without facial expression can give wrong impression, so again, my bad. Didn't mean to disturb the hornets nest.

No. I don't smoke. In my opinion, breathing in any kind of smoke whether tobacco, weed, or whatever just seems stupid.

It’s just not smoke , even oxygen kills but it would take 80 years to do it.

Of all the Atheists I have met...and I am talking many over 67 years...I only knew three that smoke pot...and I didn't befriend them.

The last time I tried it I was in my early 20's and I became paranoid! I can do paranoid well enough without enhancing it with weed!!

This sounds like a rhetorical question, but I would be interested in seeing the results of a poll.

There may be a positive correlation between having atheistic beliefs and smoking pot, but it is not a cause and effect.

I do not smoke pot.

No, there are at least two of us.

I don't and it's legal here in Washington. The last time was in 1986, maybe when I'm retired and need it for medicinal purposes

2

Nah. I don't either.

2

Nope, your not the only one. I did when I was a teenager, but that was mostly from peer pressure. I don't have anything against people wanting to smoke pot, I just don't care for it myself. It gives me the munchies and makes me not want to do anything.

No thanks

You are certainly not alone, but I get where you are coming from. I toked a few times in my late teens. The stuff gave me severe nausea to the point of puking. No thanks!

It's been over 20 years.

Haven't smoked pot since I was a teenager; I really didn't like the way it made me feel.

I was living in Colorado when it was legalized, and saw no real change, outside of the influx of tax money and new businesses sprouting up everywhere. Have no qualms with it being legalized, myself - it's no more dangerous than alcohol.

The biggest thing for me, though? It's how pungent it smells now... it was never like that when I was a kid. When I was a kid, "skunk weed" was the crappy lawn clippings that only the local burnouts would try to push off and sell, and didn't even give you a decent buzz... now apparently it's all the rage.

Whatever they've done to it over the years, now everyone's walking around smelling like the business end of a skunk... and that smell lingers forever! It's on their clothes, hair, furniture, car, belongings... you go to restaurants and grocery stores, you can smell it floating past like Pepe Le Pew just waltzed in... it's everywhere.

It's a pretty nauseating smell, too... so if you happen to smoke weed? Chances are really good you're not being paranoid -- everyone does know you smoke weed, because you smell like a skunk's butt.

So a word of caution: if you live in a state where it's still illegal, you might as well be wearing a neon sign that says Bust Me! -- it's that pungent, and can be smelled from that far away.

Alcohol is dangerous. Pot is not...

Sorry -- for clarification, I meant "dangerous" insofar as a person functioning while under the influence of a substance (impaired judgement and motor reflexes, etc), not the substance's effect on the body.

I’d sure like to run into this weed that is sooo much more potent than it was “back in the day”... Cause I remember Alcapulco Gold, Thai Stick and WHACKY WEED! I have yet to run into ANYTHING that compared!!

The “danger” you speak of is NON-EXISTANT for weed... I have driven professionally in NYC as a cabbie, livery driver, and as an independent traveling musician as well as a USA regional wide driver in a touring music band. ALL while THOROUGHLY weed stoned and smoking more while doing it. NEVER had an accident or near miss. EVER! It gives me energy when I am sleepy and keeps me going when I am hungry and tired... I shared the driving responsibilities with other POTHEADS smoking pot while driving, However, I wouldn’t trust a person behind the wheel who has had more than even ONE drink of alcohol!

I used to, not any more. I won't pass up a puff if theres a spliff doing the rounds, but I don't buy it.

No here. Tried it once in college. It made me feel paranoid. Never smoked it again. I don't put others down for doing it. I just don't think the "positives" outweigh the negatives.

Can't smoke pot because of drug tests, can't drink because I'd never stop, and can't eat babies because I'm vegan. Can't do any of that Atheist stuff.

@PeppermintDreads Or a scrumptious mid-day BABY BURGER!

I don't. It makes me too paranoid.

No. Usually I eat it infused.

Not alone, I’ve never done it either.
