does ne1 use cannibis to relax?
For me, I often engage in my special intense interests or music as a way to relax. Lately I enjoy sitting down at my Hammond organ and playing music---that is relaxing. The only drug I take is Coumadin anticoagulation medicine for blood clot damage after back surgery in 2004---I had a pulmonary embolism. So no, I do not, have not, and never will try anything like Cannibis. I am satisfied with my autism---even with its challenges.

I'm wondering, have you ever actually smoked it? Pot is NOT a hallucinogen at all, and there are different kinds of pot which will give you different kinds of high. Sometimes you get more of a body high. Sometimes it's more of a head high. Sometimes it makes you motivated and energized. Sometimes it makes you really tired and unmotivated. Apparently it can sometimes make people horny as well, although that's not the case for me.
Anyway, I smoke pot to relax(and keep myself sane sometimes). I have been for the last 6 years. I'd smoke every single day if I could. It makes things a lot less stressful and easier to deal with, and it's especially easier to just blurt out stupid responses or simply ignore people who try to talk to me when I have no desire to do so. Also, in my opinion, pot makes just about any situation better... except for dealing with cops and other authority figures, but that also depends on the authority figure, your own level of intelligence, and your own ability to make it not blatantly obvious that you're high in the presence of authority figures.
I would recommend it to just about anybody. It's great for relaxing, but it also helps relieve anxiety and depression, and it's not nearly as bad for you as alcohol, nor does it impair your judgement/motor skills/coordination anywhere near as badly as alcohol will.
Oh, and for the record, not all potheads are sh***y at social interaction. That's a BS stereotype promoted by those idiots who claim to want a drug-free america(what they really want is an america free of the drugs that are their competition). Not all potheads are stupid or lazy either. By the way, pot is an herb, not a drug.
I'd disagree. There have been occasions when the effects of cannabis were verging on hallucogenic for me. Granted, it's nothing like LSD but is does cause changes to perception, thought, emotion and consciousness.
A herb can also be a drug. From http://www.thefreedictionary.com/drug:
A chemical substance, such as a narcotic or hallucinogen, that affects the central nervous system, causing changes in behaviour and often addiction.
Different strains of marijuana have different effects on people some cannabis has a head high but others have a body high. People are using different strains to treat different ailments. You should try different types and find what works best for you.

You should use a bong or a vaporizer/atomizer the atomizer is the best for smoking. If you use a bong try putting some ice in the water it will be smoother with less coughing.

By the way the first drugs came from herbalists using herbs to cure patients. Most of the drugs we use today for medicine or as narcotics come from a plant that has it's medicinal properties extracted and refined. The same plants used by the primative herbalist is now used by pharmacists today. Opium Poppies can be made to produce heroine but they also can be used to make morphine.

Here is a funny 911 call from a cop who ate too many Marijuana brownies and thought he overdosed from the brownies. You cannot overdose on marijuana he just ate too much of it becoming nauseas and he panicked like a little b***h. He stole the marijuana probably from some pothead's stash so he got what he deserved.

a bit of advice for u now, if uv got nothing nice to say, then dont say anything at all.
and this is england thers a dealer every 5 doors.
Firstly, if you decide to take cannabis, then do not smoke it. Take it some other way, such as chewing, or you'll experience all the horrible side effects of smoking tobacco in addition to the effects of taking the cannabis.
Secondly, it's okay to not be able to spell some words, but it's good to try as hard as you can. It's not just about "making your brain work slightly harder", it can be a nightmare for some people who don't speak English as their first language to try and read, let alone everyone else.
Finally, a dealer every 5 doors? That would be about 4 million dealers serving 12 people each (assuming the whole country takes cannabis- they don't, by the way). That doesn't work.
You have to smoke tobacco to experiance the effects of smoking tobocco.......you can't smoke cannabis and then experiance the effects of tobacco that is ridiculous. Though smoking is not the safest way it is certainly not the same as smoking ciggarettes.

There are two major varieties of cannabis: Indica and Sativa. Indica has more sedating effects, more of a body stone. Some people call it "couch lock". Sativa has more energizing mental effects. My favorite. I find it very energizing and have had many productive days getting lots done stoned on good sativa. But I don't use it for the planning stage of work, only the execution as it gets too many thoughts going for sucessful planning. But it affects people differently and depends if you are a seasoned user or first timer. Some people find it relaxing, for others it produces anxiety. For me it can do either depending on external circumstances in which I use it.

That isn't what I meant, I meant that the side effects of smoking tobacco (tar in your lungs, for example) are also present when you smoke cannabis. Emphasis on smoke, not tobacco.

A lot of good points however, technically marijuana could be classified as a hallucinogen because it is actually considered a psychedelic drug......and psychedelics are hallucinogens. Though obviously marijuana is a weaker psychedelic than Acid or Psilocybin mushrooms it can cause visual, auditory and other distortions.
As far as I know though it is also a depressant which also makes sense.
