Weed Related Question / Quiricity

No it doesn't. This is a myth that potheads love to push but it's absolutely FALSE.

Science has proven that weed has a serious impact on memory. And memory is the vessel that holds all old ideas and memories. Since all new ideas come from old memories and weed makes it harder to access memory then weed makes you less creative.

It also alters your state and makes things seem better or more interesting making it harder to evaluate and separate good ideas from bad ideas.

When I was a pothead and use to produce music, every single track or sample I made I thought was AWESOME. As long as I was smoking on a daily basis I was completely incapable of distinguishing a good idea from a bad idea. Same thing with a lot of the business ideas I started when I was high. I thought every single one was awesome. Problem is, when I stopped smoking weed, as that fog of THC drifted away and clarity was driven back into my mind, I realized 99% of the shit I did high, that I thought was "creative" was really garbage.

And this was further proven when I tried selling off a lot of my creative ideas. Like my music samples. The ones that sell today are all the ones I made when I was sober. The videos that sell them are videos I made when I was sober.

In fact, if I were to post a whole bunch of work on this forum, work I did when I was smoking weed vs work I did when sober and off weed, I bet my bank that 90% of non-potheads on here can quickly figure out which work was done high and which work was done sober.

Memory and clarity weren't the only problems. The mere ability to be CRITICAL of work was a serious enough problem. Cause when you are HIGH AS A KITE everything is "cool" or "awesome". And in real life, the truth is most things suck. Most ideas suck. Most shit people are selling on the radio, tv or internet suck. But somehow, when you smoke a bit of reefer every little idea you think of, every little thing you do suddenly becomes awesome.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out why.

How can you tell a person something does not make them more creative? That is something personal that no one outside of that persons mind can say.

What do you have to say about the many rappers that openly say weed helps them create their music?

When I smoked it surely opened my mind to another level.

Tons of studies, of course the potheads will say they are all government propaganda or paid for by big pharma to make look weed look bad. And of course every positive weed study is 100% true and factual though. I know I used to be one of those guys. I can confirm the majority of those points on the list are 100% true.

We had a good discussion on this over here - http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackhat-seo/blackhat-lounge/698333-im-weed-smokers.html

My favorite line is "weed is not addictive", usually this line comes from the pothead who has smoked weed everyday for years. When you use a drug everyday, yeah that means you're addicted.

The worst part is, it takes a long time before you realize this, it took me 5 years. 3 years ago, I would have been posting the same thing as you have. Slowly comes the anxiety, depression, isolation, lack of sex drive, lack of motivation and so on. You quit for 1 month, notice life is even worse without weed, continue smoking. Weed isn't like cocaine or alcohol, it takes a long time to really recover, about 1 - 3 months per every year of smoking to get back to your normal self again.

It's called neuroscience & biochemistry.

Creativity is an artifact & direct byproduct of memory. If you had a blank mind as in no memories you'd have no ability to "create" anything. You'd basically be a goldfish.

Pot biochemically blocks access to memory. In doing so, it directly suppresses creativity and brings you closer to being a goldfish.

What you and rappers call "creativity" I call mere confirmation bias.

1) Rappers friend tells him pot makes him more creative and his music better.
2) Rapper smokes weed and feels good.
3) Rapper perceives his track as better when it's really worse and he's too high to realize it.

It's just a neverending cycle of bullshit.

Exactly that, started smoking weed at age 14 on a daily basis (2-5gramms a day), was one of the biggest mistakes in my life, now its 8 years later and it fucked up a lot of things in my life.

Slowly recovering but it just takes way too much time.

My THought is The Same, so i Take 2-3 STIK a Day. & Work with full attention.

Problem of weed is that the problems you can get don't present themselves fast enough. You're not hungover the day after(after a really heavy smoking session maybe just a bit slow), and it can really hurt you.

1 of the bigger short term problems btw, is loss of motivation. Me and a friend at uni both used to use some weed. When I noticed some lack of motivation I insta-quit, the other guy actually started smoking heavier and hasn't passed a course since(maybe 1-2 out of 8), just because he "doesn't like studying anymore".

In contrary with the above statement, there was this one time that I smoked weed before a major exam and I managed get the highest score in our class (almost perfect score actually). I take my studies seriously, so I wont give the weeds the credits. I was expecting to mess the test up and bummed it but the exact opposite happen.

No long term effects of weed have been reported.

Hey, Oregon medical marijuana card holder here for the treatment of Restless Leg Syndrome and PTSD. I started using marijuana from 16 and stopped at 17 (year and a half of use), then started again from age 25 to my present age of 45. I stop using it from age 17 to 25 because I was in the Army. It was after the Army I began using it regularly illegally up until I got my MMC.

I will only give you my personal experience from it, some of what I say is fact and probably most I will say can be construed as pure opinion. In fact, I'm currently blazed right now. As I read over this thread I can see that most of your questions were answered accurately.

Please don't take what I'm saying here as advice, you asked for people's thoughts on it so here it is.

I personally am addicted to marijuana, though it's a psychological addiction which most marijuana users suffer. If I were suddenly to not have it I wouldn't go into convulsions on the floor, much like the detox reaction from alcohol or opiates.

When I don't have marijuana everything just sucks. I find the whole world to be uninteresting and I withdraw into solitude. When I watch TV sober nothing is good to watch, when I go outside into the real world sober everything is boring and I get depressed.

When I'm sober and depressed, I can't think clearly or make decisions, good or bad. I'm hesitant in situations that require faster reactions, which traumatize me to not want to get into situations. Everyday ordinary situations. When I'm sober I can't sleep because I'm thinking too much and if I do fall asleep I have nightmares.

I use marijuana strictly only when I'm awake, an attempt at humor there ... no but really I wake and bake and smoke joints all day combined with marijuana cookies so all that I mentioned above, I currently am not experiencing.

Marijuana causes me think clearly, definitely more clearly than when I'm sober. My doctor says that because of my depression and PTSD I find it difficult to find life interesting, but marijuana is helping me to enjoy life. Keep in mind that marijuana is originally prescribed for pain, but now more and more doctors are prescribing it for its psychotropic effects and not exclusively for pain management. The Veterans Administration is currently "looking into it" for its treatment of PTSD so they're not officially helping me with the treatment, though my doctors are well aware of my use and encourage it.

When I was younger, when I first started at 16 I thought it was the best stuff on the planet. I can only image where it would have taken me had I not joined the Army. When I was using it in school I still got good grades, in fact some assignments interested me so much I got top grades, though I can look back and see damaging potential too. I noticed I slacked more in other assignments, like I would put more time than I should on other assignments. I guess marijuana intensifies the OCD in me.

Anyway, as far as my advice to you now:

Be careful, stay informed and read everything and anything you can about it.

Sperm duct? You really need to study about it. It does nothing to the sperm count. It has no effect on your potency.

Sombrero said:

You shouldn't be smoking weed for "mood changing" that's the worst thing you can say. Also, I'm not here to judge but you are a drug addict not a weed lover, doing it on daily basis reduces the sense of being "high" and your brain doesn't like strangers visiting his house too often. Marijuana can be healthy for your state of mind if you know how to use it right, expect negative secondary effects if you abuse any substance (even coffee, soda, chocolate, beer, etc...).

Does weed kills cell brains? Yes, also a lot of things we consume... It will affect your brain and body for sure but can't say much since I don't know the facts.

Anyway, use them discretely.

Weed is not addictive. You can become dependent on it but then it's not addiction. You smoke weed for years and you can quit the next day. The same thing cannot happen with cigarettes or any other drug, you will see withdrawals. Weed is not addictive.

Sex on weed is the best sex you will ever have. Try it. And whatever you have said is non-sense. Lack of motivation? Here is a daily weed smoking Olympic gold medalist which attributes his success to cannabis and calls it a performance enhancer. THis guys skiis, goes to the gym, takes a swim, eats healthy every day. Seems a lot of motivation to me.

Can you quote me the article (non-government one please) where it has been proven it reduces memory. The effects are only limited to short term and by short term I mean really short term. Not like blackouts you have with alcohol. And the issues you have faced our your personal issues, you cannot blame it on Cannabis.

Pardon my tone, I really hate it when even today with so much info available on the internet, people still believe in jargons and myths about Cannabis and it's still looked down upon in society when even worse things like tobacco & alcohol are very much considered 'cool/civil' . Cannabis has been used for centuries. The medicinal properties are immense. The whole plant, every last bit of it can be used for a variety of uses. For more I request everybody to go through this documentary, it is the only one you need to see if you want to make yourself more aware about the marijuana culture.

While i agree that alchol,tobacco and drug addiction is more dangerous , but weed addicts are delusional .In ancient times weed was mainly a ceremonial drug to expand conciousness and not to abuse it,It has a place and time .

Thank you , SIbjee

I had been smoking fresh weed from the north eastern hills since last 6 years till last mid of last year. Last year I moved back to the middle India where the weed is very costly and the quality sucks as middle India is dry whereas the north eastern part is full of hills, rivers and greenery with chill weather all around the year. In our place, we used to smoke joints & hit bongs beneath the pines and used to get lost in the greenery. Old school music, weed, the chillness! Nothing is same as before these days but as far as weed is concerned, it is only reason I consider myself as one of the deep thinkers of our time I finished a wide range of philosophical books during my weed days and have been practicing witchcraft successfully. That's 2 pieces of life, there are more & more. Weed gave me the power to believe in the power of thoughts & action and here I'm! I completed almost everything that I thought was not possible. All credit goes to the green weed! But may be that's just me.

Hey,

I love weed, and sometimes MDMA (like once every 3-4 months, while fucking 10 hours ). But the glorification of it must STOP. Seriously, weed is a drug.

There are barely any benefits, other than having a better mood. But that's not necessarily a good thing, since all emotions have "diminishing returns". If you make yourself happy with drugs, your perception of happiness will change. You'll need more to be in the same mood. Hello (psychological) addiction. Also, you'll lose a lot of productivity, your creativity won't go up (creativity = rearranging pieces of information perceived from the environment... thus having good memory and absorbing a lot of information make you more creative), but down and many other possible negative side-effects. Heck, I'm living in almost complete solidarity because I've spend too much time just smoking. I myself regret that I was so stupid for such a long time that I thought "self-medicating" would be a smart idea. It's NOT. No matter if its weed, alcohol or any other drug.

Smoke weed, but do it moderately... once in a while. Focus on business, training, meditation and education! That way you'll become absolutely baller, and you won't need to smoke every night to feel excited ;-) being awesome and successful is much more satisfying than any drug could be.

warm regards,
neocortx

==== hahah, yeaahhh ======

It really does affect everyone is subtly different ways. I stopped years ago and with about 48 hours of quitting I was astonished that I regained the ability to do mental maths!

I've never understood how it makes some people more productive, and clearer thinking, but it does! Not me though, half a toke and I'd be half asleep.
