Loft bed: Green Douglas Fir or Pine?
Well... I went to Lowes to see if they had pine, but they only have Green Douglas Fir wood. Can I use that to replace pine? I'm actually not quite sure if you're supposed to use pine, but that's what I've been reading online... Or is there another option? Douglas Green Fir only cost about 2 bucks for 2 x 6 x 8 feet so I don't want to spend a heap of money. I want something sturdy and that will last. Haven't tried Home Depot yet... Do they have pine? I just need to find wood that would be strong and last basically and fairly inexpensive. Help?

Douglas fir is stronger than pine, and usually cheaper too. It's not always as pretty but it'll hold the weight you want. Good luck!

You can use any wood but don't use green wood. It is still wet and will warp as it dries. Use KD or Kiln dried wood. They have kiln dried pine studs and 1x lumber there.
