How do you find out?

ASK HIM


"Yo, do you smoke weed?"

Believe it or not, it's as easy as that

Wow, you take this waaay too seriously. Smoking a J is not that bad. You'd be surprised to know how many people actually smoke pot (including people with good jobs, not only low level stoners...)

For most people, pot is not that much of a problem. You just got to know the effect it has got on you...

Acid and LSD are one in the same.....

I've tried a lot of stuff including acid (never crack or heroin) and reefer is the best, most natural and relaxing buzz of all. Different types of pot will give you a different buzz. Watch out for the bright green buds with the little orange hairs that smells like a skunk....megabuzz!

I can also tell you that probably the most harmful substance (as far as getting yourself or someone else hurt) is alcohol. I will never understand why it is legal and marijuana isn't :confused:

BTW, it's been over 7 years since I smoked a J and 12 since I smoked regularly (7 or 8 a day for 6 years) and I really can't tell that it's had any negative long term affects. Nowadays I don't do anything, not even drink coffee. I'd probably still smoke occasionally if it weren't for the risk of getting busted.....

In my experince (myself and dealing with others) memory loss is short term. This means it's only there when your high, as in not remembering what you had for dinner the night before...

...umm what was I talking about again?

just kidding!

As someone said where is the proof to all these claims of long term memory loss? Hopefully not from a BS anti-drug website but something alittle more creditable...say a JAMA?

I am no way implying that smoking pot is good for you but it has nowhere the effects as smoking tobbaco. I volunteer/intern on and off for a hospital and during the time I've seen numerous patients suffering from COPD, Emphysema, lung cancer etc etc as a DIRECT effect from smoking. All this time I've yet to see a patient suffering from direct marijuna usage. Again, this is all based on my experience alone.

And the whole new ad campaign, "Its more harmful then we thought" is completly BS.

Last time I checked smoking pot does not get you pregnant. Sure it may alter your judgement but alcohol doesn't?

I experimented with drugs while I was in college - actually most of the time I was in college... ;)

I don't do drugs anymore, still have my brain intact, make a good living, have a happy life.

I am not in the minority

After reading these posts, I come to the inescapable conclusion that I must have unknowingly smoked marajuana for the last 5 years of my life. Is there any sort of rehab program I can go on?

Frost bite on your nose from constantly sticking your head in the freezer looking for munchies.

Frequent pot smoking does have effect on your short term memory, even when you are not high

Wouldn't the fact that you're eating it mean that you have to eat more of it for the same effect?

I have no short term memory. A couple days ago I forgot to go to a review session for my geography class, and this was WHILE I was thinking about geography.

Do you think marijuana will improve my short term memory?

No, when you burn bud, the flame destroys a large chunk of the THC and other cannabanoids. Baking alows you to keep all the cannaboids that would otherwise go up in smoke. BTW, what would the danger of eating an extra brownie be anyway?
Unlike your lungs with smoke, your stomach is designed to have food in it

The above was taken from a terrorist training manual that I found online, I wouldn't actualy have any first hand experience with any of this :D
