You got lost cause you're not paying attention. First, lets change the word "magnify" to "enhance"... ok? My main point is when you put all the enhancing and non-enhancing properties on a scale, pot as a whole is a drug that dulls people out. You call pot a drug that "magnifies" peoples lives. I call it a drug that turns people into lazy bums. Not everyone, but the majority.
All I am saying is what proof do you have?? This all sounds like pure suggestive options, and just like all opinions, everyone has one but it doesn't make it true unless you back it up with proof.
Are you saying the people in California, Colorado, etc.. are (for the most part) "lazy bums" just because they smoke pot? Show me evidence, not what you think, because at the end of the day it means absolutely nothing.
If we are ALIVE then were are already "magnified" (I'm really starting to hate this word). We can see, breathe, eat, shit and have sex. And neglecting how long side effects last (very long) vs therapeutic effects (very short) is usually how most people get addicted to drugs in the first place. They just pay attention to the instant gratification that pot gives them but are in complete denial about what it's really doing to their lives.
Dude, you really need to stop stereotyping people. It's like saying people who buy guns do so to kill other people. THAT"S NOT ALWAYS THE CASE.. So what, if a few people use it for instant gratification, not everyone does this. There's not a single thing on this planet that everyone does or neglect to do. It's only down to the individual and if you say otherwise, then like I said SHOW ME THE PROOF!
Give me a break dude. If you are seriously trying to tell me that pot can magnify a workout you must be stoned out of your mind right now. All forms and strains of pot are sedating. Sedation + exercise = shitty workout. This is why most professional athletes don't smoke pot. It's not rocket science bro.
I don't know if you misunderstood or if you simply just don't have a high comprehension level but yes pot can magnify or should I say "enhance" a workout by motivating you to continue to workout. Damn it, look at arnold swarchenegger, use to smoke pot and lift weight's all the time. Again, you and your "opinions"... show me proof...
Also, tell that to michael phelps.. Most people like to keep their pot smoking under the wraps since people like you love to judge without any real proof backing up what you're saying.
LOL. Of all places you cite "thejointblog". Won't even respond to that.
Ok, a level headed person would simply read the text and not the title of the domain.. Of course I wouldn't expect you to read it because based of your previous post, it seems like you do very little reading since alot of the things you're posting about is pure speculation and non factual information. Anyway, if you did "read" the blog post you, you'll see that it actually links to a government funded study proving you wrong:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24152087
This is pseudo-scientific garbage. Smoke does NOT make you tired. It depends on what is IN the smoke. Go take a hit of crack and you'll see what I mean. THC on the otherhand is a SEDATING drug. I don't know how many times I have to say this or in how many different ways. Most people take a nap or go to bed after they smoke. They don't get energized and say "damn dude I feel like running a marathon right now".
Sorry dude, I mean this in the most sincere way but you sound like a true and utter idiot:

I posted this link not for you, but for the people who actually READ and not make these misleading bias opinions about things they don't truly understand.
Your pot was laced with a stimulant dude. You can smoke it, vaporize it, plug it up your ass for all I care, pot is a DOWNER. Why do you think when people drink alcohol then smoke pot they get ridiculously drunk, tired, and often blackout? Certain strains are more mental than physical but ALL strains of weed bring you DOWN. If you smoked weed and stayed up for 24 hours it was probably laced with PCP.
Again dude, show me you're evidence... If anyone believes a word of what you're saying without any proof then this makes them extremely gullible. It made me stay up for 24h do to the fact that sativa strains are know for having a caffeine like effect compared to indica which puts you to sleep. The stronger the strain (THC), the strong the effect.
You're clearly a pothead in denial.
Dude, it's a clear difference from being in denial and not being gullible, you haven't show one credible source to back-up your statement. Also, how can I be a pot head if I haven't smoked pot in 2 years? I've already illustrated that in my last post. There's nothing wrong with pot but when idiots like yourself come along with misinformation based on opinions and not facts, it's simply hard to take you seriously.
Yes, 2-3 points you are correct. Where you are incorrect is adults are effected the same exact way. You need to do more research bro.
No, YOU need to do more research, I have yet to find a credible source to prove otherwise:

Dude, I can go on and on, like I said, if you don't have proof then you're full of shit. THE END~
It does NOT "magnify what's already in you". I've been extremely ambitious my entire life and everytime I smoke weed it makes me lazy as hell. Same thing with virtually every person I've ever met in my life. Same thing the studies say. Same thing mainsteam society says. It enhances a few things (taste, hearing, sight) but that "enhancing" effect simultaneously robs you of a sober, clear, state of mind. It alters your brain. Dumbs you down. And that's why you can't understand anything I'm writing cause you're in denial about what pot is really doing to your life.
Huh, it's saying alcohol makes me lazy.. Is it the alcohol itself or is it the amount you consumed which lead to the result? (Lack of self-control) Some people don't like to get moderately high, the like to get STONED. Just like most people don't like to get buzzed, they liked to get fucked up when it comes to alcohol.
Like I said, once, twice, and now for the third time IT COMES DOWN TO THE INDIVIDUAL. If that's the case then most of these millionaires and billionaires who smoked (or might still be) smoking pot would no be were they are today because according to your theory everyone smokes pot are "lazy bums".
We get it dude. Not everyone has the same experience with pot. Same with crack, cocaine, speed, etc. HOWEVER, there are OBVIOUS, OVERLYING >>PATTERNS (called a "bell curve") and that's exactly what I'm talking about.
No, don't say "we".. It's YOU im talking too. Im pretty sure most people have enough intelligence to know that things don't effect everyone in the same way like you've been implying.
Nooooo way. Having a tolerance is WORSE because you'd be experiencing the chronic, long term effects of smoking weed (decreased attention, memory, iq etc). Find me 1 soldier who smoked weed before going to battle and thought it was a good idea afterwards and I'll give you $1000 right now.
You and I both know that's not going to happen, what am I suppose to do, knock on a war veterans door and ask him if he smoked pot during the war? For the most part it was illegal so how the hell would they even get the weed in the first place? Im not gonna even entertain that train of thought and simply ignore this statement.
I think you may be stoned right now.
I think you're the one that's stoned but I don't think it's off weed.
It's legal in a few states but not in NJ (where I live). With that said, I don't pay attention to the media or any type of fear mongering. I never got paranoid on pot. And I DO think it should be decriminalized. But not legalized. I also know for a fact if you get a soldier high and put him in battle that soldier is 100xs more likely to get his head blown off. We already learned this from vietnam when 1/3 of troops were using opiates or weed. And many of these idiots got slaughtered by the thousands. These days the military has very strict regulations regarding any type of drug use. Same as the NFL. Same as most high profile positions in society
Well thank god your sole opinion does not dictate whether something should be legalized because like history has shown, all this would do is create a black market since people can't freely get what they want. With that being said, you don't know what type of pot they were given or whether these soldiers even smoked pot ever in their lives before that.
Look man. I LOVE pot. I LOVE the way it makes me feel. That is, for the first 2-3 hours after I get high. What I don't like is after 3-4 hours pass by. Then my brain no longer works straight. I can't think straight. I can't focus like I can when I don't smoke weed. I can't work as effectively. I can't remember words. I forget shit. I can't articulate words. The quality of my writing goes to shit. I FEEL STUPID and because pot MAKES ME STUPID.
Now you can regurgitate all the predictable nonsense that potheads spout on about... like "it depends on the person" or "it depends on the strain" but you have got to be 1 ignorant person to not realize what pot really does to people.
Just start with 1 search on Google - "does pot make you lazy". Then READ what people write.
WHY do 90% of people outright say "yes, pot makes you lazy"? It's not cause they've been brainwashed by the media. It's because they've SMOKED POT so they know what it does to them.
WHY does most peer-reviewed articles back up this standpoint?
WHY have potheads been stereotyped as lazy bums for centuries? Before media or science even existed?
WHY is it, that the ONLY group of people denying this shit.... happen to be potheads? I use to say the SAME exact things you're saying now. Then I stopped smoking weed and it took me almost 6 months just to realize how bad my denial was. I NEEDED to justify my usage cause I WANTED to use. You could show me all the studies, all the articles, all the anecdotal evidence in the world and I'd still argue and deny deny deny.
And that's exactly what you seem to be doing right now. MAYBE you got lucky and happened to be 1 of those rare people who falls on the edge of the bell curve. I HAVE met potheads who are wildly successful but the majority are anything but. Most who smoke pot long term turn into lazy, unmotivated, dull & disorganized people. You don't need to be a rocket scientist to figure this out either. Hell, you don't even need to read any research. If you live on this planet for long enough, meet enough people, over the decades you just learn certain stereotypes are true. As politically correct as our society tries to be, it's pathetic what the US is turning into. Many people can't even admit that blacks live in a violent culture. Yet when you watch the news, when you read FBI crime stats, when you read the real numbers, data and statistics.. you clearly see they commit 8xs as many homicides as whites. Many people think it's a "stereotype" to say "most Americans are fat". But when you read the numbers... most Americas ARE FAT. I say this not to sound bigoted. And not all stereotypes are true. But many stereotypes exist for a good reason - and I call that reason "reality".
I hear what you're saying, my point is this...
Most people aren't successful, point blank period.. The average person lives in poverty and less than 5% of the population own all the wealth (most of which has been linked to 120 companies according to Russian scientist). Most people Watch TV, very rarely read any books, facebook, vine, twitter all day. Most people have fiat currency in their wallets thinking that they are "safe".
I'm not going into all that, what im trying to say is the average person is not that smart to begin with. Most people believe their smart but the sad truth is they aren't. Pot makes people lazy (for the most part) is due to the fact that they were lazy to begin with. There's exceptions to every rule..
All I can say is this, if pot works for you then do it, if pot doesn't work for you then don't do it. I don't drink alcohol period because to me it's a very sloppy substance/ toxic substance but most people love it. My point at the end of the day is don't judge people or put them all into a "class of failures" because they do something that you wouldn't personally do.
