But if its Marihuana, well. I don't tihnk you loose weight from that...
The do use some drugs as pain killers(opium). Thast fine by me, you sue that once untill the pain is gone and then you take the rest back too the apothecary(my dad did that). Of course, its still dangerous. |
Pot is about the safest illegal drug that you could consume and in my opinion actually healthier that smoking tobacco. I'm not sure if pot can make you loose weight like tobacco, though.
Defiantly not a healthy way to loose weight (smoking, illegal medication, starving etc), then compared to correct eating and physical activity obviously.

The pressure to be skinny or slim rather than normal was the issue.Not being fat or at a normal size 10 to 12.They wanted to look like the supermodels,moviestars that they aspired to be.Smoking was the most common drug used to curb the appetite.
YES the teens are using drugs to keep their weight down.  |
It's a pitty that none of those types of girls are attractive in the face to look like a supermodel/moviestar. That sort of attractiveness can only be obtained with a combination of genetics, and healthy exercise and correct eating, NOT smoking or drug consumption!

Pot gives you the munchies, so it's highly unlikely that you'd lose weight on it.
The jury's still out on whether it's actually less harmful than tobacco or not - new studies are being done all the time, and we won't know for a while if it is or not.
The main bad point with pot is that it can cause severe mental illness. This has been directly attributed to pot, so if there's anyone in your family with a mental illness, it would be stupid to try it.
The main good point of pot is it's pain relieving capabilities. Under medical supervision, I feel it should be available for medicinal use.
As for taking drugs to lose weight - not a good idea unless under a doctor's supervision and you're obese.

Well the stats on marijuana compared to cigarettes do vary, that's true...but everyone basically agrees that one joint of mari j is equal (roughly) to four cigarettes. So...I'm not sure about that one, but it seems to be the consensus.

Depends what drug you're talking about. I've been drinking a lot of diet pepsi, which is mainly caffiene, and I lost 5 pounds in a day, so yeah, I'll do that drug to loose weight.
Marijuana gives you the munchies and you get fat.
Crack whores are only that skinny because they can't afford to eat.
I find the best way to loose weight is to not eat when you're not hungry. Half the time you're just thirsty. Okay, so my body burning off fat keeps me awake until 3 in the morning, but it's my problem, not anyone elses.
Idiots deserve to die.

A lot of teenage girls will smoke cigarettes because they make you lose weight. But thats just stupid. Don't smoke them because its going to make you skinny. Smoke them because you enjoy them. Same thing with pot, although you don't lose as much weight on pot.

According to the nurses at the hospital (when they were weighing me just before my operation) I need to be between 9 stone 7 (133 lbs) and 12 stone (168 lbs) to be a healthy weight. I tend to fluctuate between 8 stone (112 lbs) and 10 stone (140 lbs) at the moment. It seems whenever I put weight on it just comes off again... maybe it's the medication I'm on?

Unless there's no healthy food in the house and you have to walk/drive to the shops and you die in a traffic accident.

Yeah... it's when I stood on the scales and saw 9 stone 7 that I freaked. That's the heaviest I've weighed in a while. I'm trying to get down to 8 stone 5, which I have done before. I'm not sure if that's a healthy weight for me, but I am pretty short.
I don't have the cash for drugs to loose weight with, although I have got promotional emails about diet products. There was this really dodgy sounding one which was like a concoction of hormones and speed and gave you energy and made you look younger.

Yeah, everyone dies. I just don't like to rush it. I have a life that I want to live out, and things I want to do, people I love-so, I don't really go around trying to rush death. Whatever floats your boat though.

Pot doesn't *beep* up your organs like tobacco tar. The bad side of pot is the mental stability of heavy (very heavy) consumers.

There are also "links" between pot and mental illness, but I don't know whether to believe them or not. According to my singing teacher, pot does wonders for his brother's MS.

Ah, but there are studies that suggest you're 4 times more likely to get lung cancer from smoking pot than smoking tobacco, which is why they don't yet know which is more harmful...
