Marijuana statistic

[Juniper]

Pntbll makes a thread?!

What exactly is up with this whole "98% of the teenage population does or has tried smoking pot" thing in people's sigs? Or "99% of the teenage population does or has tried smoking pot" for that matter? Yes, I have it in my sig as a sarcastic joke, but I'm just wondering who actually believes those statistics, because they seem just a tiny bit exagerated to me. Seeing as how not even 75% of the teen population has smoked a cigarette, why would the statistic be higher for marijuana? Someone let me know in an IM conversation that my sig wasn't funny at all because it's true. I wanted to know where we got this information. So I made a thread... Yeah.

A la carte, why do people feel the need to tell someone else that they haven't smoked pot?

I haven't smoked pot x)

[unregistered user]

Nop....

i wish i die cancer then die on drugs

[Juniper]

@ Nuka: Find me two other teenagers out of 100 that haven't and I'll have proved my point


@ Guntur: Marijuana is not going to kill you unless you do something stupid while you're under the influence of it

[Sombolia]

Someone brought it over from DevArt, I think. It's way over the top, the statistic isn't anywhere near that, I believe..

As for the "need to tell others", maybe it makes them feel special. ;P

If it's any consolation, I think your sig's funny x)

[unregistered user]

Pnt, are you advertising marijuana? xP

Personally I neve rhave and never will touch marijuana. Sadly I have touched cigarettes and alcohol, something I shall never do again mind you

Nuvoc + Drugs, Alcohol, Cigs = N/A =P

[Kasun]

*has taken alcohol, cigarettes, and marijuana* ...-.-...

[Sharifu]

Haha, well I never smoked pot, but I didn't want to put that in my sig.

I have no idea what the statistics are really like.

[Shatara]

Myself, I've never done any of that ****, but...

1) I'm not a teen anymore *cry*

2) Not like it was a bloody accomplishment...

3) I got enough crap in my sig already

[Xinithian]

I've never smoked a joint.

Here's the first song that popped up when I read this thread:

I smoke two joints in the morning
I smoke two joints at night,
I smoke two joints in the afternoon
and it makes me feel alright
smoke two joints in time of peace
into the time of war
smoke two joints before i smoke two joints
and then i smoke some more

yeah thats what i do, hey

mama she always told me son you really have it bad
mama she always told me son you do the best you can
then one day i met a man she came to me and said
i work good and i work fine but first take care of him

i smoke two joints in the morning
i smoke two joints at night
i smoke two joints in the video game
and it mkes me feel alright
i smoke two joints in the time of peace
into the time of war
smoke two joints before i smoke two joints
and then i smoke some more

ooh ooh ooh ooh

one peace one time
funny days, funny days
gimme that bassline

Oh right. XD I didn't want to put that in my sig anyways, but I forgot that I'm not a teen anymore either. :woeisme: XD

[Ngatuny]

:Ohno: I never tried Marijuana or any other illegal drugs in my teen years or since, unfortunately my teen years are also gone like yesterday.

[Tabansi]

Thats a hefty percentage. 98 percent of teens have tried or does smoke pot?!

:noogie: Reality check for those who believe this crap! :shout:

Never tried cigs/marijuana... beer.. tried it when i was 3 and 7... My dad gave it to me cuz i thought it'd be cool to drink it.. I hate the taste! but now i refuse all of it just cuz its not good for my healthy bod!

[Simba_TLK]

no drugs, alcohol, smoking, or anything like that here

[King Simba]

Never smoked pot. Never tried Marijuana. Never taken any drugs.



...And I never will.

I don't think that it's true; a lot of people in my school are people who perhaps would take drugs, but even so I'd say that less than 50% of the people in my class have taken cannabis.

I know quite a few people in my year group who have taken drugs of some sort. Most of them that have taken drugs have been smoking pot.

Lie - Bigger Lie - Statistics!

I bet the information on which that statistics was based on was collected from most poor areas with worst drug problems. I don't believe that reflects the status in any western state genuinely. One should never believe in statistics overly much.

Anyway.. drugs are bad, m'kay? I only know one friend who's used them - he's a good friend too, but overall drugs are for the weak-minded.

PS: Don't link alcohol to this one. Properly used it's of fun. No harm done in going out clubbin' and getting wasted on occasion, as long as everybody's having fun and you're still in control of your actions (at least to necessary extent).

[Lion King Stu]

nope never tried...never will and will never put that in my sig ....back to eating I think

[unregistered user]

Sorry, but I do add drinking to this. As it can be just as dangerous to your body. Just cause marijuana has instant effects and alcohol's effects take time before they hit you, doesn't make one any worse than the other. Meh, whatever people

*is drug free and proud to be high on myself* <slogan from the D.A.R.E. association xD

[Fear The Paw]

Blech. Never done it never will
