SMOKE WEED NOT CIGARETTES(IT'S LESS HARMFUL)
Taking marijuana affects and stimulates thinking and leads to a philosophic, positive life attitude. It causes an euphoric feeling. You start feeling very happy and it stimulates your mind. Someone who is "high", has a positive view on the world and on life.
Marijuana doesn't cause any mental harm. There aren't any cases known of persons who are crippled for life, neither physically, nor mentally, but marijuana can intensify latent, suppressed fears, that were already existing.
In the Netherlands marijuana is mostly smoked in a joint. The hash or weed is crumbled on some tobacco and sometimes covered with even more tobacco. Then a big joint is rolled, often very ingeniously, and it is shared by a number of smokers. The consequence of mixing tobacco and marijuana, is that the smoker does get STONED, but not HIGH. Being stoned is a pleasant form of a light daze. The smoker feels dreamily, his/her world slows down, music becomes more intense and thoughts expand enormously.
There is a large variety in the effects of the different sorts of marijuana. The experienced taker knows the difference between Nepalese, Turkish, Afghan of Moroccan hash. Some sorts make you light-footed and talkative, other sorts prompt to lie down and dream.
The reason why marijuana is so popular, is dead simple: everyone who smokes marijuana regularly, knows from personal experience that it's harmless. Innumerable scientific researches have proven again and again that taking marijuana is not addictive. Everyone who smokes pure hashish from a pipe, without tobacco, would like to take again, because he/she appreciates the effect, but he/she doesn't know that uncontrollable need of the nicotine addict to immediately light another cigarette. Smoking pure hashish or weed always is a conscious choice. The cannabis taker decides to get high, for example to get more out of a conversation or to be able to undergo music or a movie more intense, to feel a bond with nature or to reflect thoroughly on an idea. A cannabis taker smokes because it gives him/her inspiration, not to escape from reality.
IT'S ALL IN THE MIND, THINK IT YOUR WAY ! LIVE IT YOUR WAY.
