I don't smoke because I am drug tested regularly due to the nature of my work. I view this as a violation of my civil rights, but I don't argue it because I like my job and my work is very important.

I don't have a problem with people that smoke marijuana like a responsible adult. In all of recorded medical literature, no one has ever died from marijuana. People die every day from cigarettes and alcohol, and those "drugs" are readily available on every street corner in America. It's hypocritical. America is at a turning point right now, and there is a lot of discussion going on about how we can't afford to waste billions of dollars on a war against marijuana that can never be won. Much better to tax it, regulate it, and take that money away form dangerous Mexican drug cartels. I fully believe we will see the legalization of recreational use of marijuana in our life times....it's already happened in two states. It's not far down the road for the rest of the nation at the federal level.

If you had bothered to read in any detail the results of the study... you would see that they were weak at best.

Quote:
RESULTS: After adjusting for education, religiosity, history of cryptorchidism (undescended testicle -- a known risk factor for TGCT), and use of cocaine and amyl nitrite (a.k.a. poppers), people who had ever used marijuana had nearly twice the risk of developing testicular germ cell tumors compared to those who had never smoked up. When parsed out, the risk of developing nonseminoma (the more difficult to cure version of the cancer) was more than doubled, but did not increase significantly for seminoma.

Most likely due to the relatively small sample size, the results get a bit messy after this and don't show any clear association between how much or how frequently subjects used and their risk of TGCT. Risk was decreased for more frequent users, nonsignificant for those who used for over ten years or continued to use, and more than doubled for those who used to smoke, but no longer do. Those who reported using marijuana less than once per week or for fewer than ten years were at more than twice the risk of those who never touched the stuff.
Unfortunately I don't have full access to the original study... but given the microscopic sample size and the millions of other men that have never contracted TGCT who have smoked weed, its time to find some better studies.

I have two friends who went out with each other for about a year. Neither smokes tobacco, he smokes weed. She eventually decided he was too into weed and dropped him.

Understandable.

Same goes for someone with a drinking problem who can't keep it under control.

That legal drug alcohol is far worse.

My boyfriend is 41 years old who began smoking week, cigarette, drinking and watching porn since he was 14. I have been helping him to quit all of these substance abuses, but whenever he does not drink or smoke, he is very bored and out of energy and just wants to go sleep by himself. I do not like the idea he smokes weed, but he is so magically wonderful in bed as a master minded in sex blowing up my mind. So, sometimes I only join him for a few puffs just to enhance our sex experience to the full.

He has agreed to quit for me, but sometimes he does smokes weed behind my back even though he repeatedly promised with me that he wants to quit. He also loves to watch porn as having sex with me. He could last up to 2 to 4 hours for sex and he deeply enjoys having sex with me as he watch porn, especially after smoking weed, he is a superman in bed.

Yet he spends a lot of money and time getting high, buying weed and have no high motivation or goal in life. He does not have other interests except watching TV, eating, and going to work beside enjoying his addictions.

Should I not join him for smoking weed even though I love it for the sake of magically wonderful sex.

Confused

I went through my stoner phase in college and yes, plenty of girls looked down on it.
But conversely, girls that were into it were pretty easy to get to know.
Just invite them over and let the mood take over.

Now, I kind of shy away from people who smoke. It was something that was hard to get over, so I'm wary of those who might lead me to getting back into it.

Funnily, I actually think of weed as far worse than either cigs or booze. I can handle alcohol and tobocco pretty easily, but with weed it led to taking over my life at the time.

As for women, stoner women aren't good for me, so they aren't an option...or, maybe if they quit. I really detest alcohol and honestly wouldn't consider anyone for anything serious if she drank more often than a couple times of year, but cigs, I can deal with...as long the smell is handled well.
