Does weed make you stupid?

    The classic question. I looked it up forever and could never come to a sound conclusion. Does anyone have any personal theories or studies they can send me giving solid proof to one way or the other?


    I would say in my personal experience if I get too high I get very anxious, affecting my performance in social and academic situations, and my short term memory can be greatly diminished as well as long term somewhat as it is more difficult to recall names or events. I am not sure if this sticks or not or if it is just like being drunk and you are not at your highest performance while the drug is in your system.


    Thanks for all your thoughts guys and gals.

    Stupid is stupid does. I've never seen anybody smoke weed and do anything stupid. Now alcohol, that's a different story.

    Your post sounds like an anti-weed shill's prepackaged comment.

    ^^^^


    How so? Its true what I've said, the anxiety and short term memory. I'm just wondering how it effects intellect. Will your decision making abilities be affected? Is there a test comparison such as SAT's before and after and other side by side comparisons?

    I mean, sometimes I do dumb shit while I'm high but who doesn't every now and then? I personally can smoke and do anything.

    If you really seek these answers there are probably many places on the internet to get better results than asking here...


    and I still think you're a 2 post internet anti weed shill...have a nice day.

    Does weed slow your mental faculties down momentarily as you think about them? yes.

    Does weed make smart people smarter? Yes.


    Does weed make dropouts go back to school? ... ... ...

    silly isn't it..seems like the anti mj prohibitionist groups are still infesting the forums...they have people go in and create multiple accounts, posting innuendos to give people the idea pot is bad...engaged in a 'drive by' smear job campaign that has been going on long before I joined gc..and they always use the same old reefer madness themes..debunked propaganda...like pot makes people stupid...


    if anything, we can all agree that the existence of marijuana and other 'intoxicants', has made those prohibitionist very stupid.

    Weed may make you stupid, but it doesnt make me stupid. If weed is somehow making you less of a person maybe you should consider other hobbies.

    I was tested for IQ about a month ago...140.
    I took a sample MENSA test and was told I have a strong chance of passing the membership test, for whatever that is worth.
    I'm taking the test next month.
    I've been smoking for the better part of 25 years.


    I'm just saying, I'm holding my intelligence fairly well so far...for whatever that is worth.

    It doesn't make me stupid...it makes you stupid......

    I mean...Yes, sometimes I don't think or act as quickly as I should when I'm high, but I don't think it makes you stupid.
    (I actually find myself moving and doing things with precision when high), but my decision making is better [​IMG]

    I'm sure if you smoke incessantly negative effect will be exact, but if you sometimes get good joint then everything will be OK.

    I'm a new a smoker at 32.. Had some weed and thought I would see what the point was

    At first looking back I was getting to high by mistake and not enjoying it, but now after a few weeks I know myself high and at what level to take it to..

    And it's literally one or two hits of a joint, after that I fell like In the past I've been so unattached to the world, I feel it makes me more intouch with reality not less .. Everything around me makes perfect sense to me now
    I feel like if I wrote all my new found insights into a book it would make so much sense to so many lost people

    I kinda went off point..I would say it makes you stupid if your already a stupid person

    Yes highminds you hit it on the head. I have the exact same perception.


    And whats up with this all I'm saying I'm anti MJ? Its just a simple question about experiences.


    I feel I started the same dickyuk. I would get way too high and it did lead to some bad experiences. And just like being too drunk I wanted out of it without the physical effects like vomiting. Now I prefer to smoke by myself and smoke very little (three hit cape pen or a small pipe) and everything is enjoyable and I like where I am at.

    There is no point even asking a question like that on here man, everyone has different opinions, experiences etc. Weed isn't for everybody, just like tabacoo and alcohol aren't - it can mess with some people and with others is helps. Everything done in moderation should be fine, same with alcohol, drink etc, some people just have low tolerances to THC than others :)
