All basically meaning the same thing. In America it is quite frequent to be exposed to the drug during High School and it will definitely be around you in college. Alpha isn't here to tell you to not do or do it either. We're here to help you to explain what it is, what happens, what to avoid and the different kinds of it. So here is your quick lesson to weed.
What is it? : It's an herb containing tetrahydracannibonol more commonly known as THC, which causes the 'high'. The leaves are grown, dried and then smoked in different ways. It can also be cooked into butter to create foods like brownies or cookies. Marijuana is illegal in most countries around the world.
What happens? : Many people say that the first time they smoke they actually don't feel the high. (It's common because you probably didn't smoke it correctly). However, when you do achieve the high, it can be different depending on the person and the mood. But generally there is a warm sensation and you can feel a little whoosy. Some say that their bodies act weirdly in a fun, cool way. Many watch movies, listen to music, do something adventurous because the thrill is more extreme and your focus and thoughts are more attentive. It is also common to get the 'munchies' - you're basically hungry and almost everything you'll eat will taste delicious.
What to avoid: Be sure to smoke with people you trust. Dangerous things can happen because your control over your body is weakened. Also, make sure the weed you smoke is legitimate -- if you smoke something else that may not be marijuana, bad things can happen. Also, try getting high when you're in a good mood; your 'high' usually reflects and magnifies your emotions at the time you smoke. So, if you feel sad or angry - careful, it can get pretty depressing or hazardous.
Different Kinds: Ever see the movie Pineapple Express? It's funny how accurate their portrayal of a dealer is. The dealer in the movie has several, a bunch really, of different kinds of weed. I'm sure you've heard of 'blueberry kush' or some other kind of tastefully weed. They actually exist believe it or not. Apparently it does taste better when you smoke it. There are also different types of weed with different level of THC, or some people even mix weed with tobacco. So there are many different types, as well as different ways to smoke it.
**Extra Lesson to Dope - How to Smoke**
The most common is a joint. It is the one that commonly looks like a cigarette. The second most common is the blunt. A little bigger than a joint, burns slower and is commonly used for larger groups. It kinda looks like a cigar. The pinch hitter, or one hitter, is basically a hollow cigarette where you insert the weed - its convenient, only holds a small amount of weed but you can smoke it in public. The main way that people smoke these is days is through a bowl (right) or bubbler. It's a pipe but made of glass, a bubbler incorporates water, you basically work it like an ordinary pipe - so it's easy to pack and use. Great for small groups. The way most people think of weed is often seen in a bong (above). It uses weed faster with the combination of water and you don't have to roll anything - just be careful cause they can break! Hookah, if you've been to a hookah bar or have smoked through a hookah its basically the same concept but instead of the hookah tobacco you place weed in it. There are many different ways to smoke too, many even invent their own smoking devices. I guess if you're creative enough and really want to get high - there you go.
Remember, marijuana is illegal, although it is considered a non-dangerous (you don't get addicted to weed) drug, it is often known as the gate-way drug to others more hazardous. And if you do end up smoking weed, try not to get too attached, weed is kinda expensive and with the munchies there's more of your money! (and weight!) People might even call you a pothead. It's worth trying though, its fun when you're with friends.
And it's true what they say, you do laugh a ton.
