Getting dumb smoking?

Discussion in 'Marijuana Consumption Q&A' started by BonoBono, Dec 1, 2015.

  1. So I just started smoking (smoked like 3 times now that I turned 18) and I'm worried about the health and mental ramifications of it.


    I don't really care about my lungs, I'm young, who cares? haha


    What I'm worried about is getting slow. I like to think I'm a pretty quick and clever individual and many of my friends who have smoked for a while now have lost a lot of their alertness and honestly they just seem dumber.


    I know this is stereotypical and way blown up in the movies but actual documentaries featuring hardcore stoners are filled with people who act this way. I'm wondering if this is just denial or people really don't realize they are slower or if these are just people who smoke a ton.


    Either way I guess my question is is this how I will end up if I continue to smoke.


    Any opinions would be helpful!
     
  2. once you get over the reefer madness propaganda and other "war on drugs" lies such as; 'pot makes people stupid', you will just enjoy the herb and have a good life.






    besides, the only known side effect of marijuana use, according too 200 years of research by top notch DEA scientist in their ultra secret Antarctic marijuana lab is, it makes your babies come out naked.

     
  3. But then why do weed smokers talk and think slower?
     
  4. Idk you're friends but they could just be trynna pull off the "stoner" look and that certainly helps. But idk them do i couldn't say cuz i know i don't talk like that nor does anyone else i know.
     
  5. I smoked throughout high school and also took many AP classes. So I don't think that smoking makes you stupid.

    You've waited until the age of 18 to begin smoking--it shouldn't have any ill effects on your brain. I've taken numerous AP and IB classes throughout high school and smoked nearly every day since 10th grade. Research shows that people's IQ scores are not in any way altered by cannabis use, so long as they wait for their brain to fully develop (around 20 yrs. old). Relax, smoking won't make you dumb.
     
  7. I know some really dumb motherfackers.....they stayed dumb.

     
  8. it goes one of two ways: either you smoke weed and like it, or you don't [​IMG]
     
  9. You only get "dumb" if you don't use your brain. As in educate yourself on something new, read a book, keep your mind active when your high and don't sit 'butt stoned' ALL the time. Time flies by and you could have used that time to do some self improvement..idk Its different with all people really. I felt like I was getting to that point where I might possibly be getting a little slow so I learnt three years of biology in one book lol and knew I still had it..just wasnt using my head that much.
     
  10. Really?? Maybe you are talking about yourself and your friends. As Grizzlytracks clearly stated I have met some of the stupidest fuckers in the world and they probably barely change when they smoke if they smoke at all.

    The kids skipping school and getting stoned using concentrates like the bozos at my daughter's school? They sound retarded from being retarded and not going to school other than to smoke.

    In this medical forum you will find a vast majority of us that really use weed medicinally and I would bet you would never pick me out of a crowd as being a "pot smoker". Truth is I am the face of pot smokers today. Nobody and everybody, middle class, well off, literate, intelligent yet unassuming. I invite you to sit outside a dispensary and see who goes in. I have while waiting in the car (because my leg and back hurt) my wife went in to purchase and I sat and watched. 2 obvious stoners and 10 average joes on one trip. Another trip was no stoners and a dozen normal looking people. We live in a nice neighborhood but the dispensaries are in some cases.....well.....in the not so well off neighborhoods. My point is even in the supposed "bad neighborhoods" we rarely encounter stoner looking people. We don't see people in suits either. We see normal people, driving normal cars living normal lives other than smoking weed for ailments.

    Another truth is that the stoners that propaganda promotes as real has always been the FAKE face of pot smokers and a minority of users then as it is now.
     
  11. That is usually the younger tokers that often smoke much more then they need to.
    There was a study that claimed in the first 12 - 24 months Some folks slow down. However as they acclimate, they often surpass their own benchmarks.
    :smoke:

     
  12. Keep educating yourself and you shouldn't have any issue. Other than placebo ignorance from being so young lol.

    that is all
     
  14. First week: Boils form on your penis and it burns when you pee.
    Week 2: You wake up one morning and find that your eyebrows have fallen off your face.
    Week 3: The reflection in the mirror begins dictating terrorist threats.
    Week 4. You forget your name.
    Week 5. You forget why you woke up.


     
  15. I don't think it's really accurate. I mean your friends might be sluggish if they're smoking daily and they're probably just really burnt when you talk to them.

    Smoking weed does not make you dumb. The reason people thought that wasn't because of weed but because people hold in the hits, which in turn, briefly stops oxygen from traveling to the brain. Lack of oxygen kills brain cells. Not weed.

    I don't really smoke a lot anymore because I'm really getting into my major and minor. (Major in Wildlife Biology, Minor in Environmental Science) so it's a lot of work and I just don't have time to smoke haha. But my freshman year when I took the general classes like English, math and biology, I was smoking a quarter a week and I was on the deans list.

    And compared to cigarettes, smoking joints isn't as bad.i read somewhere that like 7 joints is equivalent to one cigarette (not sure about those numbers) it was 7 or 8... I mean yea it's still not good for you to inhale smoke. But considering everything that can kill you, I don't think it's the worst
     
  16. oh boy..you're infected with it...reefer madness makes people sound like complete idiots...shame..to bad..you could have had a productive life, prospered, but now, your brain is damaged from propaganda and lies...if you abstain from exposing yourself to the bullshit out of the anti marijuana zealots handbooks, and do some real research on the good herb, you have a chance of recovering, but you have to start NOW!




     
  17. ya..the whole smart prosperous nerd with an IQ that puts the 'straight laced' to shame just doesn't wash with the image the W.O.D. folks want to shove in the old propaganda manuals.
