Does Smoking Weed Make You Stupid?
 

Hello everyone,

Okay, 420 day, time to go get faded, toke, blaze, roll a joint, load the bong, make a pipe using a pepsi can, or using an apple..

How many of you really think smoking week makes you stupid?

I don't smoke myself, not saying that I haven't but just choose to not smoke, I don't like the feeling I get when I smoke, but I have friends that smoke on a daily basis.. So let's get your opinions on that.. Why is smoking weed every day such a good thing?

Smoking weed makes you stupid!! :2 cents:

I have friends who are far less sharp from smoking regularly....

and some who seem unaffected.

Maybe it is just age.

Not stupid making is me.

It beats Zoloft.

I cant smoke it everyday..Id get fat.








Oh wait.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

everytime i was smokin weed (daily) for several months in a row, i lost a ton of weight.

I have seen individuals who lost major ability to remember things. My memory to me is too valuable. Just like 7up. I have never had it and never will.

I don't think pot makes one stupid, I think those were stupid to begin with.
Everyone is different, so the effects of long term marijuana use will be different in each person.

i have a terrible short memory now. its not like im mentally retarded but kinda like i lost train of thought...i do that alot.

lol im the same way i don't enjoy smoking most of the time. which is why i only smoke on occasion. about smoking making you stupid.. my guess is that smoking regularly has a different effect on everyone. i have some friends who smoke everyday, can hold a decent conversation, good memory, and just all around normal. then i have the bubblegummer friends who get absolutely retarded and just flat out annoying because of the dumbness level.

to be honest i think it magnifies what type of person you are. if your dumb it makes you retarded, if your smart it makes you think 5x more, if your outgoing and talkative its going to make you annoying, etc.. :2 cents:

I dont smoke it anymore, but the orgasms were great

hell ya, I hate weed !

As Forest said... "Stupid is as stupid does" ...

and it definitely does make people do some Stupid Things. :upsidedow

What was the question again ?

na not really into smoking weed - im chilled out enough as i am :)

Actually in some people, weed triggers seriuos anxiety attacks.

Smoke while you work????

Your blood pressure goes up more then normal, when you smoke pot and sit in a chair, but goes down more then normal, when you are standing up.

When I blaze I usually experience temporary stupidity, but it fades away.

Watch last nights south park

Has been medicially proven to effect short term memory. Though the findings also said these effects only remained while the people were under the influence of the drug. Overall findings were that it had zero long term effect on memory.

same thing here

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.

I smoke daily and have for years. I don't have any memory or motivation problems.... well, unless I don't get high <-- omg, I'm a fucking stoner!

Yeah man, it's called being fried.:pimp

Yep, that's entirely true, marijuana temporarily impairs the hippocampus region of the brain, reducing one's ability to store short-term memories.

It makes TV better :thumbsup

seriously, it fucked up my short term memory real bad. It also stopped me from taking anything serious. It helped me make some dumb decisions in my life. It pretty much made me not give a fuck about anything but smokin'. Plus i didn't want to chill with anybody that didn't smoke, so i lost alot of good friends. I smoked every single day ( except for my 3 months in juvie ) from when i was 9 years old till i was 20... the shit didn't even get me high anymore unless I had super potent shit. I think it also stunted my growth, im 22 and i look 15 (view profile). But i know people who smoked alot more than me and are fine. My neighbor (a lawyer) won't do a case unless she's stoned.. and she's GOOD! Everybody gets different reactions. My dad gets panick attacks when he smokes weed but he still does it every damn day. I still smoke every now and then ( right after the army piss tests me )

Yes, That is definetely does..

How you doing? How is everything? You going to take advantage of my new promo?

Hit me up when you get a chance...

...and food :thumbsup :thumbsup

ever seen sponge bob on weed?

i dont think it makes you stupid at all but it seems to make some real slow

It burns my lungs.

That is not a pleasant sensation.

I dont smoke anymore but i use to back in the days and yes it does make you loose memory

when i was smoking i didnt remember some stuff, but i always rememberd where my weed was lol

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.

sorry, what was the question?....

Most of the habitual pot smokers I know have serious motivation problems. They simply don't want to improve their lot at all. As long as they make enough to pay for the pot and some burgers now and then, they could be living in a crappy little apartment with bugs and be perfectly content.

What about these?

Marijuana might cause new cell growth in the brain

Cannabis extract shrinks brain tumours

Cannabis truly helps multiple sclerosis sufferers

Amphetamines relieve Parkinson?s-like symptoms

Alcohol may help cancers grow

One drink per day boosts breast cancer risk

Just two glasses of wine can ruin your brain's ability to detect its own errors, and to correct them
