Re: cannabis/skunk/weed

I think the dude is just fooling you to make it look legit. He is doing it cos he wants to get high not cos they do it in darbaars. And darbaars are not masjid. What has more value for a Muslim, a darbaar or a masjid?

Re: cannabis/skunk/weed

How long has he been smoking?? Trust me it's extremely hard to get rid of the addiction... even when you do quit, all you think about is another way to get high.. ur thoughts always drift back to the 'good ol' days' and boy does it cause insomnia! get him to quit while he's still in the early stages.... best of luck

Re: cannabis/skunk/weed

Thanks for ur input. Hes been smoking it for about 3 mths. He prevously smoked it before I got him to quit cigarettes. He was clear for more than a year. Now hes started this again. I read all this stuff in the papers about people taking the drug who either kill themselves or their family members. Its really scary.

Re: cannabis/skunk/weed

I don't understand why stuff like alcohol is clearly supported as being haraam and then yet something like a drug is not. For some reason, a lot of religious figures hide behind the whole "well, the Quran doesn't really say MARIJUANA is haraam, so maybe its halaal" argument.

Any sort of substance which makes you behave in an alternate way and causes addiction and that addiction can possibly hurt someone, would be haraam.

Marijuana is often debated in all cultural circles as to whether it should be illegal or not, because it doesn't seem to have as many negative effects as other drugs. However, I do know that you can build up some addiction to it over time (not the type you get with cocaine and some other tougher drugs). You also should never opeate any heavy machinery when taking the drug. So if your husband loses a bit of his judgement and decides to take the care out when he's high, he could easily get into an accident and hurt someone. I don't think that's proper behavior, right?

Best to stay away from it. I think if it was controlled in its use, its not that big of a deal, and maybe the religious figures are right in saying that its halaal, but honestly, why take a chance with any substance that can alter your perception of reality?

Re: cannabis/skunk/weed

marijuana is clearly a haraam substance, and it is banned using the same logic as alcohol. but just as some people drink it, and try to establish it as a non-haram substance, so do they try to declare marijuana as legitimate.

Re: cannabis/skunk/weed

wow.. 3 months can be a very long time, or a very short time depending on the regularity and quantity in which it was taken... but have u gotten to the real reason of why he uses it..? Is it a social occurrence or more emotional? if its the latter chances are itll be harder for him to let go of the habit... and if he does, he might jump into a worse habit like drinking. Speaking from experience, its really hard to quit... it sorta becomes ur "friend", ur problem solver... im not of much help considering im not clean...YET.. but take it one day at a time.. and let him have the cigarettes back too thatll help..

as far as I know, cannabis like all other drugs used for getting a "high" are haram. they do harm to the body....and those starting on cannabis usually move onto stronger/"harder" drugs, because the cannabis is not having the same effect anymore...so they need something stronger...they keep moving up and up in the drugs ladder....until they have totally messed up their own lives as well as their families.

[/QUOTE]

Well, that's not always true. Cannabis generally does not lose its effect, though someone who smokes it all the time will have to smoke a bit more then he did when he first started. Lots of people I know only smoke weed, they don't take/do anything else. I think the percentage of people who do really "hard" drugs (when I think hard... I think of heroin or crack or things) because they smoked marijuana is probably quite low compared to the percentage of people who just smoke weed.

I find it hard to believe that people smoking marijuana who went and killed people/themselves were ONLY on marijuana (I bet they were taking other things). Or they had an allergic reaction (possible... very rare... but possible). High people are generally pretty "cool" and damn lazy- far too lazy to chase somebody around in order to kill them.

Marijuana can cause a "psychological addiction"- which can be just as powerful as a physical one.

Re: cannabis/skunk/weed

Marijuana doesnt lead to harder drugs...its generally a recreational drug...
Heroin and crack are a different level...
The hardest they may go is probably coke which is overhyped...(cracks a lot worse)...and pills...
In terms of the drugs tmemsleves esepcially pills they are depressing...they take into such a wonderful world but how horrible is it when your back in the real world...life is more depressing than it was before...being in anither world is wonderful until you come back...imagine experiencing paradise and coming back to earth...
Much better to just confront the world in front of you...if hes smoking weed it might not be that serious but try and get him of that **** if you can...the worst thing you need is to have a dependency on something...i remember a friend who used to be able to go clubbing and have a good time without drink but now he cant have fun unless hes had a few jd cokes and sambuccas...

Re: cannabis/skunk/weed

woww… i am impressed with our pakistani community! I didn’t know we had that many guppies who were druggies! :hehe:

32

Re: cannabis/skunk/weed

marijuana’s haram for those who dont smoke it, and halal/not haram for those who do. Just like everything else in Islam. :rolleyes:

33

Re: cannabis/skunk/weed

Furqan...
Check the stats...over a quarter of the worlds heroin addicts live in Pakistan mainly Karachi...No-one does drugs like Pakis do...

34

Re: cannabis/skunk/weed

i dnt think the people that take drugs really care if its haraam or halal or even the effect that it has on the rest of the family. very sad.

35

Re: cannabis/skunk/weed

just cuz its not true in ur circle of friends....it doesnt mean u can generalise for everyone. those who use heroin/cocaine etc...they dont just go on it straight away....its an eventual progression from the less harder drugs.

im a pharmacist...ive studied all this..

36

Re: cannabis/skunk/weed

dont try to justify using illegal drugs....if something is wrong its wrong...simple as that.

for those using drugs, I think its wrong of them to try and justify that its right. and ive noticed a number of guppies are trying to justify the use of drugs...just to make themselves feel better about something haram they are doing.

Re: cannabis/skunk/weed

Post the stats here…im interested to see where you get your information from…so if you have proof…post it here…The amount of drug use in UK/America is so high, I doubt any country would be high enough. in alot of schools in UK, MAJORITY of kids use drugs…

so post you source which says that “1/4 of the worlds heroin addicts live in pakistan” :rolleyes: I’ve been studying drugs for over 4 years…and I havent come across that sort of information…

if you dont post your proof, it just shows your blatantly lieing again, just to make yourself feel better/seem better than other people.

39

Re: cannabis/skunk/weed

Erm and here i was thinking you meant that apology sincerely lol…

Firstly you suggest im blatantly lying again…when did i lie in the first place?..

Heres a couple of articles which i assume you missed in those four years of studying…education these days…

Anyhow as a summary…estimates are between 3 and 5 million addicts generally…even if we take 3million as the stat this is by far the leading nation in terms of heroin addiction…the US has twice the population but only 250000 addicts…

Its natural cos 75% of heroin is produced in that area…
One comment i will take back is stating that no-one does drugs like the Pakis do…the Iranians are the worst…statistically the most heroin addicts per head in the world…just ahead of Pakistan…

1 in 17 Iranians is on heroin…
http://www.embassyofafghanistan.org/inthenews/in110.html

Btw Impulse id love to see your stats which suggest the majority of kids use drugs…or even an article…marijuana maybe but marijuana is an irrelevant drug in comparison to heroin and crack…

What i will say is the UK is the worst in Europe from my understanding for heroin…but on a world level is a long way behind…most of the heroin in the UK is from Afghanistan…
