My original intentions for the thread was just a simple question of do/did you smoke marijuana. I didn't want to get into all different aspects of whether it was right or wrong, in order to avoid a much heated topic. Decriminalization/legalization is a touchy subject along with Politics and Religion. I try my best to steer clear of those topics because people tend to always think their opinion is the correct one, and adamantly refuse to accept any other views. Not saying that about any of youse, just in general. If everyone can agree to maintain some level of civility, I'll post my thoughts on the matter of cannabis. =)

Now, as for marijuana making someone feel like not doing anything, this isn't totally true. There's three widely known species of cannabis; Cannabis sativa, Cannabis indica, and Cannabis ruderalis. There may be more but for our purposes, we'll focus on these three. Cannabis ruderalis is an almost unknown species here in the West, because it's a wild variety native to Russia and the surrounding areas. Most cannabis nowadays is usually a hybrid of Sativa/Indica.

There's quite a few differences that differentiate the two, but we'll focus on the the type of 'high' they give. Indicas are usually what give you that 'couchlocked' or 'stoned' feeling. When you smoke this type, you usually won't do anything but keep the couch warm, and talk about deep philospohical thoughts... lol As far as Sativas go, this is the type that gives you an energetic high that makes you want to do everything.

So, class... to sum it up... Indicas = 'body' high, and Sativas = 'head' high. =) This isn't absolutely written in stone, but it gives you a nice, general idea.

Lillith, if you feel this topic is a bit verboten for your forums, please feel free to remove it because I wouldn't like to attract any unwanted/unnecessary attention to the forums.
