Why did this girl do this?

Post Reply New Topic

I told her about my crush and she went " He smokes weed...". She's told everyone that he smokes weed when he doesn't at all. His teeth are fine and he doesn't smell of it at all.

Why would she do that?

1. She may be telling the truth. Not all pot-heads have bad teeth and reek of marijuana.

2. She may have set her own sights on him, and may be trying to discourage you from competing.

3. She may be bored, and is just trying to get a reaction from you.

4. She may hate him, and doesn't care what you think.

Because weed is bad and it effects your mind. She may think she is warning everyone.

She may have a vendetta against him so she is trying to destroy him.

If his teeth, smell and behavior are fine, it seems to me his marijuana use, if there indeed is any, isn't a problem (unless it's a money thing or a law thing). Plenty of people who smoke weed are fine. It's not a particularly heavy drug. Less dangerous than alcohol in pretty much every way except it's a bit worse for the lungs (if smoked; not if eaten or vaporized). Also doesn't cause chemical dependency.
I don't do any recreational drugs, myself, but I really don't think weed (generally) is a big deal. The main effect it has is it calms people down and makes them want candy. Occasionally it makes people think a bit differently, but not usually in any harmful sense. I'd rather be around people who are on weed than people who are drunk.

The ultimate horror of a heterosexual man smoking weed, can you imagine how bad his mind will get poisoned by it to the point he becomes a psychopathic killer and a rapist? /sarcasm

What does that have to do with anything?

That is bullying behavior. She has a preconceived notion that smoking weed somehow makes you lower as a person so she points out that someone is less of a person so she can feel like more of a person. Bullying behavior comes from a position of insecurity. She probably feels her social position is being threatened by your "crush." In other words she was jealous.

Her dad must be a cop or a politician, "fine all those who only even think about getting on their way to go smoke weed! Extra money for the state!! ! MWWUAHAHAHAHAHA!!"

Jealous of who?

It has to do with the rumor that the guy smokes weed. I can't give an answer to why the girl is spreading said rumor, but I can say that even if the rumor in question happens to be true, it's most likely not as big a deal as the rumor-starting girl would make it out to be, and thus probably not something to be too concerned with.

teenagers who smoke pot frequently have a higher risk of becoming schizophrenic. chronic pot use saps motivation and can cause paranoia, both of which i saw in my ex-fiance. pot is more likely to cause lung cancer than cigarettes.

i think pot should be legal like cigarettes and booze, but it's not harmless.

Especially if there's schizophrenia in the family.
I'd definitely advise against teenagers smoking pot. Adults doing it I'm more or less ambivalent about, though if there's a history of schizophrenia in the family, I'd strongly suggest staying away from it.


Chronic use of anything not specifically healthy is generally a bad idea. And indeed paranoia is a common side-effect, especially with heavy use, so that's something to watch out for. Motivation-wise, it varies from person to person. Some people lose motivation, while others lose creative inhibition and get more creative where they'd otherwise be too critical of their own work to get going with something. Of course, results of creating while not thinking entirely clearly may vary as well.


More likely? According to what studies? Smoke is smoke (and any kind of smoke in large amounts can cause cancer and other problems), but there's a lot of stuff in cigarettes (such as tar) that adds extra harmfulness, so I'm not so sure about pot being more likely than cigarettes to cause lung cancer. Not saying it definitely isn't so, but I've never heard that from any reliable source. Last I heard, the scientific consensus was leaning toward cigarettes being a bit higher on the cancer side of things, though I don't know what the methods of the studies or their sample sizes were, and I'm not sure if there was a separation between different forms of cancer.


This is true. It's less harmful than a lot of things, but it's not harmless. There are ways of minimizing some of the risks (cancer risk goes down significantly with vaporization, for example), but there are always going to be risks involved with the use of something that messes with brain chemistry in any way.
But my point of view is that marijuana is only a "big deal" if alcohol is as well. To me, personally, they're both things I stay away from, but I've seen booze cause a lot more problems (and make people a lot harder to be around) than weed, so I'd sooner worry about someone drinking alcohol than someone inhaling marijuana, generally speaking.

Wow your friend needs to seriously lighten up. I rarely meet people who DON'T smoke weed. But then again, I DO go to the art school.

And for the record, there's nothing wrong with smoking weed. I'd imagine you'd prefer a chill, mellowed out stoner then a raging, angry alcoholic. Or at least I would

Not sure where you live, but where I live its more likely to find people who smoke at least occasional than those who don't. So from my perspective he either smokes and keeps it on the down low so she is trying to expose him. Either that or she is just trying to start a stupid rumor. Anyways I see nothing wrong with smoking pot but what a pathetic rumour, this girl obviously does not realize pot smoking is hardly something many people care much about.

But not sure if its more taboo where you live or not.

When someone says I am on drugs and I am not they just want to dismiss me.

She probably said it because she's a judgemental snob. I don't smoke weed myself, but a lot of my friends do and there is nothing wrong with it. I'd ignore her advice and if she says it again, just say "So? Whats that got to do with the price of eggs in China?"
