I am only asking this because I think my boyfriend is using, but I don't want to ask him because I am afraid he will take it the wrong way. I want to find out as much as I can before I confront him. I would never use drugs after what they did to my family.1) How is it used? (I heard it could be mixed with tea.)2) What are the short-term effects?3) What are the long-term effects?4) Is it really that bad compared to other drugs like cocaine, heroin, or meth?5) On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being low and 10 being high, how addictive is it?6) How easy is it to get?7) What kinds of drug tests can prove there is marijuana in someone's system?8) How does it effect your life (work, school, family life, friends, teams, etc.)9) What are the things a person can do to get a teenager off of it other than rehab and tests?10) How much does it cost generally in the USA?11) Is it true that it makes you feel"numb"?Whoever answers all the questions the best will get the best answer.

Usually it is smoked. Short term effects are things like paranoia, lack of ambition. Long term effects can include memory loss. It is not supposed to be physically addictive, but seems to be psychologically addictive to me. Pot can be detected in hair samples, urine and blood tests. I think affects relationships with everybody around you. It makes people lie to cover where they have been or lie about where money has gone. As far as making people numb, I'm not sure, but I do think that some people use it to self medicate when they have other problems like depression. good luck to you.

You use it by smoking it not adding tea,it makes you sometimes forgetful kinda like a airhead.I don't think there is any long term effects.and it all depends on who you know how easy it would be able to get blood or urine test would show if there is any marijuana.I use to be a big pot head when I was younger and it did'nt effect me in work school etc. and marijuna is a a lot less addicting then heroin crack cocaine etc they use marijuna in some medical cases like people with glucoma and a all timers I don't know all of them. it use to cost me like 50.00 bucks a week it does'nt make you numb someone wants to quit you can't make them thats how it worked for me when your ready you'll quit

hii.. i use to smoke pot, but i quit about a year ago. so i can answer your questions 1.)usually just smoking, but some people make it into tea. or mix it in food if they want to be slick.2.)a persons memory is a little slow. slow reaction time. tiredness. a big boost in humor.(for some people, it can make your heart race really fast. the last few times i smoked, i started getting sick, so i quit. my heart would beat wayyy too fast.)3.)pot actually doesnt have long term effects, as some people think. only short term, which is why pot isnt as bad as people think. short term you can appear a little"dumb"sometimes. but it fades, as you stop using.4.)pot is the safest narcotic. pot is an herb. it is all natural. it is also a pain killer. it gets rid of headaches better and faster than asprin! it doesnt kill. its safer than alcohol even when youre driving.5.)people say pot isnt addictive. its really not. there is no withdrawls physically from quitting. you may want to cause it is routine for you, but definitely not addictive. i stopped easily.6.)you can get pot anywhere. on the streets mostly, but dealers have unlimited connections everywhere. if one dealer doesnt have it, his/her friend does.7.)UA's.. but people have ways of getting it out of their system before testing. like cranberry juice, pickle juice, and pills made to clean your system.8.)the commercials you see on tv are hillarious! its not like that. true, you are lazier, but pot makes you easy going. it makes you feel happy. you get along with people easily. but it makes you paranoid at times. if someone you love doesnt want you to do pot, it will effect your relationship, because you can tell when someone is smoking, based on their reaction time, and sense of humor. also the pink eyes.9.)a teenager is going to smoke pot if they want to whether someone tells them they can or not. EVEN if they have to get UA's. its something they have to realize isnt good for them on their own. but if you teach kids early enough, they will listen.10.) where im from, a dime is 10$ a dub is $20, an ounce is 100$. but thats only if its shwagg (AKA commerical weed) if its better quality, like nugs, its sometimes triple the cost of shwagg.11.)it can make you feel numb. mostly relaxed and happy. or paranoid.i hope this helps. if your boyfriend smoking pot is effecting how you feel, you should tell him. theres no need for you to be hurt, or feel uncomfortable. keep in mind though, unless his pot smoking is super bad, its not all that bad. a lot of celebs smoke it too. and if they give it to people with cancer, it cant be harmful.good luck!
