Study: Early Marijuana Use May Increase Brain Damage

No offense kid, but you talking to me about getting baked is like me talking to Lebron about my high school basketball career. Nobody's listening.

I have driven car while stoned few times and went quite well idd. Had to smoke some to be able to have even little fun watching my drunk friends. Also My car goes straight line even if i don't hold on the wheel.

In the other hand I haven't smoked in while, After eating some shrooms weed started to feel bit boring.

Anyways. These studies are stupid in the way. Its obvious, if you abuse anything you can get hurt in way or another. chocolate, burgers, drugs, car (driving recklessly for example)
 
Smoking pot definitely impairs your brain function. You obviously don't think as much when you're baked, that's why people forget things etc.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for pot being legal and I smoke it myself... but it's naive to think that it won't affect you in some way.

^^^ LOL my first post.

Yeah a dude who thinks hes the stoner king, thats what every stoner thinks. Hush up "kid." Your only showing your ignorant, stoners can never accept the negative sides of weed.

You're clearly the ignorant one here dude. Just because you got baked and freaked out doesn't mean that pot should be illegal.

On a related note, is it just me or are kids today just soft? When I was your age I was drunk, smoking whatever, doing god knows what else and passing out half hard in chicks....

These kids today, I tell ya..
 
Smoking weed is a VICTIMLESS crime! No one gets hurt by it. You think its a coincidence that the drug that doesn't kill anyone and can't be taxed is illegal? No.

The government is fucking you. Smoke bud everyday and you'll enjoy life A LOT more.

who said i freaked out? Im not talking about one occasion that I smoked and got really stoned. I smoke regularly. Your just one of those people who are completely one sided in an argument and cant try to see the other side. You forget not everyone in the world is mr badass weed king you nominate yourself as, not everyone can handle it the same, some people take a couple of hits and are completely fucked, some people are like me and have to take a shitload of hits before their fucked. Doesnt really matter the point is when you are fucked your fucked and its stupid to drive when your fucked and everyone thinks they can handle it and everyone in their own mind is the master of driving while fucked, till they kill someone then reality kicks in and they realize their a fucking idiot.

Why do you think they are such hardasses when it comes to drinking and driving now, because they finally realize that its fucking stupid to let people get fucked up and drive. 20 years ago you could get pulled over drunk drinking beer in your car and youd get away with it, while as now your ass in jail. You let people smoke weed and drink its double the problems.

Whats with the kid shit? What are you like 19 or low 20s? You realize your a kid yourself? Trying to act cool in a internet marketing forum isnt really working out for you bud. Lets just drop it, agree to disagree.

Do you kiss your mother with that mouth kid? : )

It's not that you don't think as much when you're baked, it's that you think too much. And scatter brain people forget things, low short term memory, going from one thought to the other. But the brain is working faster, unlike alcohol which literally slows down your brain.

Retards with nothing in their brains in the first place, sure, they can tell you what they did 30 minutes ago.
 
Yeah, my maid knows what she had for breakfast 5 days ago... I have no idea when I went to bed yesterday.

Marijuana seems to be pretty harmless and it is proven that it's not causing addiction. The problem with it is that it's a doorway for hard drugs. Not all users become junkies but almost all junkies started with weed.

That is why impartial politicians keep trying to block its legalization. The rest of the opponents just have some financial agenda.

I've never understood the "doorway" or "gateway" argument.

Don't people try alcohol or cigarettes at least once before weed or other hard drugs?

Wouldn't that make beer a "gateway" drug?

With that logic you would prohibit beer and cigarettes.

Maybe weed is associated with things like harder drugs because they are purchased from the same black markets. Maybe a legal weed would not be associated with harder drugs as the sources wouldn't be as similar.

Anyone who wants to ban something because of a "potential doorway" is just out of their minds.
 
Well beer is a doorway to hard alcohol like vodka and whisky, I don't think many started directly with 30+ %vol.

Same seems to apply for weed and heroin.

I am not opposing anything as I've tried lots and never went so far to get addicted. I just like to try to understand the arguments of both sides of an issue.
 
With any addiction, nicotene, alcohol or weed, it will possibly increase brain damage.

I mean, I know people that have become stupid drunks, people that cant go an hour without a cigarrette, and people who are just retarded that smoke weed everyday.

It's all about moderation. Most likely if you don't have self control over drugs, you never really had self-control throughout life.
 
Wait! I think I remember what I was going to say. It was something about weed and its affects on me? damn....forgot, sorry.

You missed my point.

People try cigarettes and alcohol before weed. Therefore weed is not a doorway to harder drugs. The current legal drugs are.

You say that weed should be illegal since it's a doorway. The real doorways are legal cigarettes and alcohol. Therefore your defense of weed being illegal for being a doorway is illogical.
 
Would u rather think worse or lose your life? And thats still an "IF"!
 
I think all you guys (and gals) that are arguing FOR smoking it should just go ahead and smoke it every day (several times a day if you want). I also think we should do a study to see whose IM businesses do better - those who smoke it or those who don't! Now THAT WOULD BE INTERESTING!!

Smoke it if you want. That's just fewer people I have to worry about in the niches I am trying to dominate!
 
Actually, yeah they really can. Many people make money off plants, you buy apples, corn, oranges and other shit that comes off plants/trees, and those are TONS easier to grow then marijuana.

In fact they or the gov could make an absolute killing if weed be legal and they sold it.

it shouldnt be legal to people unless they need it for real problems such as cancer and other diseases, not just so people can get stoned. Weed does effect you when your stoned, longterm side effects who knows, but I'm talking about while your using it.people tend to be slower and forget things a lot, but thats minor stuff. When you truly fit the definition of being stoned, you absolutely cannot drive a car or do anything like that. That being said its a moderation thing, and alocohol is far worse but thats just how it is and just because alcohol is worse then weed doesnt mean weed should be legal, and even more importantly, just because weed doesn't effect you that negatively health wise doesnt mean it should be legal either.

Dont get me wrong, i like weed, I smoke it every now and then, but Im man enough to admit that it doesnt belong legal for everyone. Chicks are bad enough drivers, last thing we need is tons more stoned chicks driving to taco bell to get their munch on. dont think any positive would come from weed being legal unless its to the people that really need it, but a lot of states have already realized that and have legalized it for those purposes and others will start doing the same thing.

If everyone were responsible and could handle it maturely then it wouldnt be a problem, but most people cant.

who are you to tell people what they should and shouldn't do?

If a person makes a personal choice that is their choice not yours.

Every American should have the right to use cannabis recreationally, because there is nothing wrong with being peaceful and happy. Is there?

Also, my point about the pharmaceutical companies stands strong. Because they cannot patent a plant. Therefore there is less money involved with this drug FOR THEM. Yes you are right about the government making a killing off weed if it was legal. But my point is the pharmaceutical companies don't want weed legal because it will replace many of their chemical synthetic drugs(many of which with ill side effects). Like forex example people would rather smoke a few bowl for pain rather than take tylenol. Also weed has been proven healthier and safer than almost all pharmaceutical drugs. Why do you think there is lawsuits over these synthetic medicines passed by the FDA. For example, Levaquin had long term effects and actually attacked beneficial bacterias of the body resulting in patients with ruptured tendons. and those are the so called medicines.

Dont you get it. The money makes the world go round

Glad I never smoked pot. Never felt the need to. I have been around enough potheads to avoid that shit
 
One can research and present valid points either way. There are few absolutes in life and this thread on cannabis bears this out.

I personally, do not feel the need to get high, unless it was medically necessary. I have a nine year old son and explaining to him why I am a pot head is not something that I can see myself doing. Most of my buddies while I was growing up got high, but it was just a juvenile distraction, we were just kids. None of them do it any more.

One of the earlier posters referred to a scripture in the bible supposedly in favor of weed, even though it clearly does not speak to that. Here are two of my favorite scriptures that reinforce my convictions against weed or any other vice:

All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not. 1 Corinthians 10:23

When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. 1 Corinthians 13:11

Don't bash. These are just my opinions. If you do smoke, hey, party on.

I respect your position and as I mentioned in another post in this thread I am neither for nor against legalization as the laws against pure users are very mild and thus the repercussions would be ignorable should I decide to use.

But if you want to make a strong argument, pick a drug that can actually be trumped by weed AND be worth it at the same time. Tylenol's main incredient is acetaminophen. This compound has no patent whatsoever and can be legally made in your back yard if you choose to do so.

There are many drugs containing acetaminophen. You named tylenol because their marketing / advertising is done successfully and many people know the BRAND. Should marijuana be made legal, corporations will start marketing BRANDS containing it and we'd have the same situation like 'get back to normal' and 'go back to sleep'.

Now if you were to come up with a fact that weed is as good as some expensive and maybe patended susbstance like the antibiotic Vancomycin for example, which costs thousands, then the argument would have a lot of weight.

I've been to the Netherlands where both pot and hash are 100% legal. 'Strangely', I didn't see any pharmacological revolution where people said 'gee, my head hurts, I'll go hug my bong for a while'. Also, the stuff was not cheaper than the generic pills.

You speak with a lot of confidence here, so you have grown all of these crops you mention and KNOW it is much easier to grow apples, oranges, and corn?

Please provide us with your experience in growing and selling these.

Cannabis is called a "weed" for a reason, it is VERY easy to grow. So talk about what you know. Explain the experience that has proven these statement to be true for you.

I can't even begin to answer these narrow-minded statements without exploding.

Making these statements, my friend, makes you sound like a hypocritical douche bag.
