There's no need to get so personal. Yes it's illegal. But no it is not as bad as alcohol or cigerettes or caffine for that matter. It's hard to reverse decades of propaganda out of peoples' minds. Also for the person that assumed they were talking to someone young, I find that demoralizing and extremely deragatory. It is possible to have logical reasoning skills at a young age. And it's also possible to be a self righteous bigot without consciously knowing. Both sides are being condescending towards each other and it's just wrong. There are many people out there that have the wrong information about marijuana. And likely the only reason why it's illegal both recreationally and medicinally is because it's politics. There are no politicians that are willing to put their careers on the line to stand up for it. Those politicians that do stand up for it have other differing views that keep them from being elected.

Way to go! It keeps getting better too! Watch your portion sizes and it's about being satisfied and not hungry for 3-4 hours not about restriction. Good luck and keep it up!

I like the thick girls.

Kinda like wine, "Cheap and Fruity or Expensive and Dry"

You are entitled to your opinion. I live a LOT closer to you than Australia though, so you might be interest to know that I have smoked pot since I was a teenager. My 3 best friends that I get together on weekends to socialize and also sometimes smoke with, are a chief scientist at Apple, an elementary school principal (award winning for improving test scores), and the owner of a construction business. I am also friendly with a doctor and a city councilman that occasionally smoke pot as well. None of us would ever consider smoking on the job, and we all work very hard and long hours.
I was not handed my success, I worked 2 jobs all the way through highschool (newspapers and busboy), paid my own way through college and eventually an MBA, started and eventually sold one company, and now am financially pretty secure. I am now an executive at a $5B company with over 100 employees on the 5 teams that I manage. I drive a new Carrera for which I paid cash and have a nice house, 2 great kids and a great wife. I smoked pot the entire time.
It may sound like I'm bragging but I'm not. I'm also not endorsing smoking pot to anyone for a variety of reasons. I'm simply saying that there are a lot of people who smoke pot occasionally and still live very ethical and responsible lives. And I would bet that there are a lot of people you already know, maybe even friends, that smoke as well. They're just not telling you.

I've been reading through this thread just to see what other people experience when they smoke marijuana after getting banded, and I am very disappointed. I thought this was a place where I can go to find answers and get support, but all I have found are judgmental people who obviously don't understand the meaning of support! How can someone who has been judged their whole life for being obese judge other people? I just can't wrap my head around it! I understand that everyone has their opinions and everyone has a natural human right to communicate their opinions, but to actually criticize someone who opposes your views is not right. I love my marijuana and am very proud of it and respect people who don't. It is their lifestyle choice and I cannot change that. This stereotype of lazy, uneducated pot heads has embedded itself in society and has conformed people into fearing something that they don't understand! I have been smoking marijuana since high school. I am not lazy and I am educated. I go to a great university and have a 3.7 GPA. I stopped smoking a month before my surgery just so my lungs could be clear. After two weeks pot-op I started smoking again and I have not had any munchies, like the lap band everyone has different experiences. I have friends who are also banded and they smoke so the food goes down better and they have not had problems with munchies. Again, everyone's' experiences will be different. If you feel like it is causing you to gain weight and it becomes a big problem then stop. You have to play it by ear. For me the best time to smoke is in the mornings when my band is tighter and I have a little chest pain.
With all that said, this was my first post. I was banded on 7/28 and had my first fill 9/9, so far I has lost 40lbs. I hope people understand that the world is filled with different people and different lifestyles. Please show the support, respect, and answers people come here to look for. :thumbup:

I smoke marijuana probably more than anyone else on this board (to be honest every single day) and I'm doing GREAT on my journey. it's all about WILLPOWER! Weed doesn't make you gain or loose weight, YOU DO. Don't insult people because they smoke weed. I don't insult people on here because they smoke cigarettes or drink alcohol. That's their choice.
