Seriously, my cat get's contact highs sometimes but that.. Umm.. If people blow smoke directly into his face. It's kinda fun too watch.

And, with second hand smoke, it's not the smell that's bad, it's the smoke. Ya know. If you're a real prude then ask your roommate to get a window fan with an exhaust thingy. I have one just because I don't want my roommates to be inconvenienced, not because they asked me to or because they're wusses.

Dude, I didn't understand a single thing you said in the first paragraph. But I understood the second paragraph, and dude, why you gotta be hatin on the cats? Blowing smoke in a cat's face is like cruel, bro. And the last part I agree with because you can't be prude like that, man. You just gotta be cool bro, be cool.

1. no
2. no

If you're smelling it, then you would possibly fail a drug test like others have said. Those trace amounts only stay in your system for a short time however, contingent upon your metabolism and BMI and stuff like that.

i love how the new commercials pretty much admit marijuana is harmless... they're now just going from the angle that it isn't "cool" and will kill any sort of social life you have.

essentially... marijuana is as dangerous as WoW.


also... don't listen to everyone about failing a drug test. the chances of this happening are well below 1%.

even if you're an occasional smoker (once every week or 2) and you just drink water on a regular basis your chances of failing a urine test are extremely slim.

hahaha.. I just realized that my post made me sound like a total stoner. My close friend is a stoner and she likes to smoke when hanging out, but I haven't actually bought weed in probably 7 years. I smoke cigarettes, hence the exhaust fan. Cost 20 bucks and does a decent enough job.

Meh, cigarettes are still worse than weed IMO. People smoke a crapload of cigarettes, and it does gross things to you since people smoke them so much, and in the end it barely affects you. But weed is like everything you can have in a couple of quick hits, thus it is much safer than cigarettes.

This thread is like a bad after-school movie.

"Man, don't be a prude! Get high with us. All the cool kids are doing it!"

Don't diss the guy because he doesn't want a foreign chemical in his body, no matter what your views on it are.

Marijuana is hardly hazardous to your health. It is by FAR safer then tobacco and alcohol. Do your research. As far as I studies show, no one has ever died from smoking too much marijuana. In fact, it should be legalized for medical purposes.

Wait. Dude, you just said "Man, don't a prude!" That doesn't make any sense at all.

I haven't smoked marijuana in over 2 years...but I get a little high just hanging out at my friend's place on the weekend - small room, around 4 or 5 guys smoking through the night. It's a great, sublime feeling. Only reason I don't smoke any more is because it was turning into a habit and I used to hate how my throat felt for a few hours after a session. But passive doping FTW!

Quit worrying about second-hand marijuana-smoke.

smoke of any type in your lungs is hazardous to your health.

and yes... there's no lethal does of marijuana.

A club I go to sells brownies for 5 bucks and, while I don't smoke really smoke pot anymore, eating pot.. man.. I want a brownie!

Seriously, i'm on anti-depressants..I think THC pills would be safer and more effective..

Edited. It's far too late for me to be up.

Also, just because something doesn't outright kill you doesn't mean it isn't bad for you.

thc pills, and eating marijuana in general, is a lot more mellow of a high. and due to the fact you have to digest/metabolize it first... it takes a LOT longer to come on. due to that a lot of people will eat one brownie... they'll start to feel it come on and think... meh... this isn't fun. then they eat like 1 or 2 more.

this usually leads to an amazing nap lol

They needed to perform a study? :confused:

'Everyone can see that it is so' tends to be called a false argument by the anti-marijuana crowd. But then, those people tend to have destroyed their last braincell with alcohol anyway :D

(Oh, and I never used marijuana and I never will. Only drug I ever used besides coffee and chocolate was alcohol, and I quit drinking :p )

You can get a very low contact high which just impairs clear thinking a little, but you have to be exposed to A TON of people smoking marijuana. I wouldn't worry about it unless the cops come into the apartment (I'm assuming you live in an apartment).

You can get high from inhalation of the smoke 2nd hand but it would have to be in large amounts so based off of how you described your situation, I don't think you have anything to worry about.

Everyone is wrong in the first question.

Smelling mj in your room can cause facial lacerations, dislocated joints, chaffing of your wrists, cuts and bruises on various parts of your body, contusions in your scalp, AIDS, Hep., bleeding from your rectum, and various other injuries. They start just after you hear a knock on your door followed by, "Police Officer! Search Warrant!"

:D

Wouldnt you perform a study too if someone was paying you to smoke weed?
