smoking and usage

cmbr66 · #1 (**permalink**) 01-27-2003, 08:32 AM

I have met people that have smoked for quite some time and nothing seems to be wrong with them. I always hear stories of people that smoke alot and they are slow or act funny. Does marijuana make you slow in the long run?

currently there is no evidence that suggests smoking weed will affect your long term memory or your intelligence. the people who smoke weed and are dumb are either born dumb, have done massive drugs in their years, or drink way too much (alchohol is known to make people less intelligent over time).

everyone i know personally that smokes every day is slow.

it could be a conicidence, though.

I've smoked for 16 years and I feel fine.

HIGH=FINE

Seriously, I'm not slow and I don't have any weird things that cause me to "act" funny. I know many people who have smoked a lot longer than I have and they are intelligent, healthy and happy people.

Like Cottons said, people who smoke weed and appear to be not-so-bright were not-so-bright before they started getting high. Weed doesn't make you less intelligent. Trust me on this one.

I know we've all had our days of hardcore smoking and we feel retarded the next day. But nothing has proven that these effects are longterm.

well i have become a hardcore pothead in the last 2 years that i have been smoking and i can say that i have noticed a difference in my thinking, memory, and intelligence. hopefully it is just temporary.

if they were to stop smoking long enough for the affects to wear off they'd probably be a bit quicker

the slowness is usually limited to periods of heavy use, or while you're stoned.

ChronicBlazin · #12 (**permalink**) 01-28-2003, 04:01 AM

maybe they are slow because they are stoned all the time and never sober when they are around people. Thats the only conclusion I have come up with. I am not slow and hardly anyone knows I smoke until I tell them. A lot of people at my school smoke too but I dont know unless they tell me.

thats the biggest reason why my mom doesnt want me to smoke. i wish i can get a group of smart weed smokers to talk to her to show her that it doesnt fuck up your brain like everyone thinks.
