Smoking weed? Read this
 

HEAVY marijuana use over many years appears to shrink parts of the brain that control emotion and memory, an Australian study shows.
Brain scans on 15 men who smoked at least five joints a day for more than a decade show for the first time that they have structural brain abnormalities not seen in non-smokers.

The hippo campus, thought to regulate emotion and memory, was 12 per cent smaller in volume and the amygdala, involved with fear and aggression, was reduced by seven per cent.

This explains why i see sometimes the most weirdest posts here... People, stay of the drugs... :winkwink::winkwink:

At least 5 joints a day for more than a decade? ..... Goddamn!

What the fuck would you expect?

what does she smoke there?

I've been smoking weed every day for about 10 years.. Currently I smoke about a HQ of chronic a day..

And the way I feel was pretty much summed up by that article heh...

I have a dube stuck to the corner off my mouth as I type this...

Considering I smoke maybe a joint a week,I'll be ok

I had something funny to say, but I just forgot it.

i'm blazed out my gourd...but at least i can spell the words percent and off:winkwink::upsidedow:tongue:

mmmkay?

3.5 grams

i`m not smoking anymore.
I exchanged it for working harder and sleeping less.
But when i have my farm, i might dedicate a small corner between the crops and flowers with some imported Dutch Seeds :)

i see we got a lot of smokers here. Now you have glue on your fingers, or you will pass me a suck... i do miss it :)

umm in general, anything taken in large volumes over an extended period of time is bad for you, in one way or another.. just because so much time and effort is put into explaining the ill effects of something illegal doesnt mean the effects of other perfectly legal things are far worse. Im pretty sure heavy use of.. carbonated drinks with all the different chemicals in them have fairly shocking effects on your body if used long term.

But applying it to just one chemical gives you a way to say its bad for you, well sure.. but is it worse for you then anything else? the fact of the matter is your body is breaking down as we speak, albeit in tiny increments but breaking down none the less. because of the environment around you, and the products and chemicals you apply to yourself, consume or inhale. even breathing perfectly normal air speeds up the proses due to free radicals.

my point is, the most common cause of everything.. is birth.

someone who smokes five joints a day for more than a decade must already be crackbrained after the first two days...

:1orglaughYea no shit. 5 fucking joints a day?

5 joints a day. I call those days Saturdays

5 joints a day x 10 years = 17,800 joints.

17,800 of anything in 10 years would fuck you up regardless.

ha ha me too :)

Who gives a fuck?

I've smoked plenty of weed in my time and I'm fine. So in my opinion this study means nada.

17.800 bottles of beer? I´m sure there´s many people doeing this awesome amount...

you forgot the leap years. :winkwink:

it was 20 years not 10.

sigh of relief.. i still have another 10 years to quit :pimp
