I think it depends on the person. THC has different effects on different people. It can be helpful for relaxation purposes but can be harmful if used in excess.
For all the people who smoke every day and say, "it doesn't hurt me or make a difference".... To use an analogy, its like those American Idol rejects... when they sing, they hear... good voice, but those listening hear... not so good.
It fucks up your memory, used to smoke weed a lot, as in almost daily, for years in a row. Now I haven't smoked for like almost 2 years already. Memory is getting better but I still tend to forget things every now and then.
Yes its all the weed, no one ever would forget things if weed was never grown! Damn you evil plant! Honestly, maybe it makes us more aware that we forget and are not perfect? HMMMMM
And you get older too, you are 2 years older since you quit smoking, yeah you are gonna forget shit, you have years of shit to remember in your heard.
Yes keeping physically in shape is important for your mind as well. Go out for a walk after you get high, dont watch South Park and eat Doritos for 12 hours a day
A buddy I've known for 22 years smokes weed 'n hash like most people smoke cigs. His entire day revolves around getting it, smokin' it...gettin' more. Its been his way of life for decades.
He used to be an intelligent and charismatic individual, spiffy dresser and all-round good guy to hang with.
These days he can't put a single train of thought together to save his life. Having a conversation with him is a frustrating exercise in futility. When he talks, he rambles from one notion to the next in each sentence without the slightest segue or connecting thought.
And despite being a trucker all his life and earning an above-average wage much of the time - he doesn't own a house, or his vehicles...and drifts from town to town leaving behind a string of personal debts with dozens of people.
If that's not stupid...then we need a new definition.
You can blame it on the idle plant or the person without a strong enough mind to snap out of that stupid daze. What about the people who smoke the same but have $100 million and are normal and happy? They are out there just the same
What are its short-term effects?
Short-term effects of marijuana include problems with memory and learning, distorted perception (sights, sounds, time, touch), trouble with thinking and problem solving, loss of motor coordination, increased heart rate, and anxiety.These effects are even greater when other drugs are mixed with marijuana.A user may also experience dry mouth and throat.
What are its long-term effects?
Marijuana smoke contains some of the same cancer-causing compounds as tobacco, sometimes in higher concentrations.Studies show that someone who smokes five joints per week may be taking in as many cancer-causing chemicals as someone who smokes a full pack of cigarettes every day.
Smoking weed isn't guarenteed to make you stupid, but from watching many people around me smoke weed year after year, i've come to conlclusion it affects some peoples memory's and doesn't have much affect on other people.
Friend #1... smokes 5-10 times a day, and has no problems and is sharp as a tac, unless he's really high or whatnot.
Friend #2... honestly sometimes might not remember his own name, he's literally lost 24/7, and WAS NOT like that before he started smoking weed.
If you get high and sit in front of the tv, then yes. If on the other hand, you smoke and do something stimulating, I think it helps you 'get in' to whatever it is you are doing ... but like everything else, moderation is key.
imo i dont think weed makes people stupid it just makes them do stupid things depending on how many you smoked.
I think overall, if you smoke weed on an everyday basis just to get through the day, that will affect you in the future.. If you smoke once in a while just when your doing certain things, it wont affect you in the future, I mean it is a legal drug to heal sick people, so how bad can it be?
I think it is a whole lot less damaging and dangerous than alcohol. I do agree that it affect different people in different ways tho. I have some friends that do nothing but sit at home and get stoned and play computer games all day, while their girlfriends go out and earn the money. But I am not sure they would have any more motivation if they we not high.
I personally like to smoke but it is not the basis of my whole life. It does make doing some of my more mundane duties a lot more fun tho.
