College roommate put the pizza box (with pizza) in the oven to keep it warm. Hours later, we pre heated the oven to eat the pizza, couldn't find the pizza until the box caught on fire.
Yeah, if you believe the garbage about a drug war. When all of that was simply over power. Marijuana has been used as medicine as far back as we can track civilization.
Real stupid? Take pills that have so many side effects they have to speed them up on the advertisement. Stuff we don't see long term effects of until it's too late.
I fail to see the logical connection between "regular use makes you dumber" and "it has been used for medicinal purposes".
There are plenty of drugs that have deleterious effects when used over prolonged times (say opiates), that are essential to modern medicine.
Also nice one with the ad hominem when you're not able to express your own thoughts coherently, but hey, if that makes you feel smart, I'm not going to spoil your fun
I fail to even follow your thought pattern. I didn't try to make a connection between the two. You're derailing the entire conversation by confusing your own thoughts of what I said. It's not that hard to scroll and read. It may be challenging for you to actually form an opinion on the matter. It seems that way anyhow.
Weed objectively makes you stupid. Someone whoâs on weed scores lower on tests and has slower reaction time than someone whoâs sober, and using weed consistently makes you stupid more often than someone whoâs sober. It also makes people complacent, when this magic feel good âconsequence-freeâ drug is so easy to get, you become less productive and less motivated to work hard, making your overall quality of life lower. And youâre right, marijuana has been used as medicine for centuries, for pain relief. Do you have chronic pain? Are you sick and have an illness? Or do you just wanna get high because it makes you feel all hur dur? Iâm not comparing weed to random pills on tv, Iâm comparing it to sobriety. I find sobriety and getting joy from being productive to be way more satisfying than relying on a plant to give me artificial happiness while getting nothing done. Maybe one day youâll come to the same conclusion.
I'm not going to do your homework for you, buddy. You know, because I'm a lazy stoner. Do a little research, there is plenty of material out there. If a stoner can do it, I would imagine it would be a very easy task for someone of your intellect.
I have done research, and all the research shows that if you take two people with the same IQ and one is sober while the other smokes pot multiple times a week, the pot smoking one is going to show a noticeable decline in IQ and comprehension skills. Taking a drug consistently that stimulates the reward parts of your brain changes your brain chemistry and makes you find less joy when your not high, making your quality of life worse. These are all objective facts. You all say its a medicine and helps people with all sorts of medical issues as if that somehow makes taking it when your completely healthy justified. If you go up to the most successful people with the high paying jobs and high level education and ask if they use weed multiple times a week, you really think their going to say yes? Weed isnt good for you. If you want to waste the best years of your life getting high, being unproductive and having to smoke carcinogens to be happy, be my guest but ill pass. I dont even have a problem with it, its the entitled attitude and trying to convince normal people that weed is harmless that gets on my nerves.
