IronJelly: Seriously?

I use pot for this exact effect, and I have been since I discovered it at 14 years old. Smoking is the ONLY way I have found to get my brain to shut up. It cures my migraines faster than Excedrin, and it relaxes my mind enough that I can actually fall asleep or watch non intellectual TV (for example, I can't stand Family Guy unless I'm baked). My IQ might maybe be lower while I am under the influence, but it certainly doesn't stay that way.

I can't possibly be the only one to use it for this purpose. I thought for like 6 years after I started that this was what it's for.

Like Ed said, I would never smoke pot. But if I did, hypothetically, it would be because I'd found it to be an excellent cure for insomnia. Hypothetically.

you are not alone. in fact, i am kind of glad that the guys that made 'road trip' made the weed smoking guy the way they did instead of some skanky wanna-be hippy type that never listens to anything besides marley's legend. it allows him to deal with all kinds of anxiety and other bs that a lot of people might try to drown out with prescription drugs.

Betcha it's still better in the long term than teenage binge drinking.

This is why you don't start smoking everyday until your 30s.

The study is effectively correct, but puts its conclusions in misleading terms.

Chronic daily use of cannabis will indeed cause detrimental effects over time. So will alcohol, tobacco, and just about any other substance.

On the other hand, casual intermittent sporadic use has never been shown to be harmful, therefore persons who wish to use this product recreationally should use it only at intermittent intervals to avoid the danger of adverse side effects. Chronic incessant daily use has been determined to cause adverse effects and should be avoided.

I save all the ice pop plastics and put them on the dishwasher rack's pegs, and sanitize them.
When they are dry, I fill them with fresh picked fruit form the berry patch saturated in sugar and refreeze with a paper clip on the curled top. Each summer yields a better mix.
Add honey or real maple syrup for YMMV.

Ready for school, dude.

Among a long-range study cohort of more than 1,000 New Zealanders,

Did they find that sheep were left dissatisfied and sexually unfulfilled?

Only eight points? I'm fine with that.

IronJelly: My IQ might maybe be lower while I am under the influence, but it certainly doesn't stay that way.

And you'd know this how?

An 8 point drop in IQ is not something an individual would often notice, but it's definitely something that would show up in large-scale tests. Heavy adolescent weed consumption probably didn't move you from average to retard. More likely, it just moved you from average to slightly less-average.

I get it, you like weed and are loathe to admit it has detrimental, permanent effects on your mental ability. Sucks, but sometimes the truth hurts. Weed isn't as harmful as alcohol, but it's not nearly as harmless as a stone sober existence.

Nope, AQ, unless detrimental effects such as paralyzation are addressed, I stand by my original prescript...i want love for all living, not death; live on.

FloydA: What's ironic is that these data will probably be used to try to support a "tough on drugs" stance, when in fact, the most effective way to reduce teenagers' access to pot would be to legalize it and treat it like alcohol or tobacco- no ID, no sale. The street corner pot dealers don't ask for ID, but shop clerks do. Legalize it for sale to adults and the profit will drop out of the bottom, so the criminal gangs won't sell it anymore. Immediately, teenagers' access to pot would be dramatically diminished.

Yeah, because underaged kids never drink or smoke or find ways to get alcohol and cigarettes. This will decrease drug use for sure.

Started smoking pot at 14 quit at 19, started smoking again at 31 to alleviate back problems and anxiety issues. Never felt better, racking up a 4.0 every semester as I work on my Grad degree.

I still don't condone kids using drugs then again I don't condone standardized testing, but it still happens.

To impart genetic materials to impregnate a female of your desired genetic pairing, no?

Oh, the sex part?

A good man can use his penis to make women stalk him.

So couldn't this just be a difference between the IQ tests for 13 year olds and 18 year olds?

So people lose a few IQ points in exchange for being able to cope with life's lemons and enjoying life's lemonade just that much more?

I'd say it's a fair trade. Besides, people should have the right to do whatever the fark they want.

"Marijuana is not harmless, particularly for adolescents," and "Quitting pot did not appear to reverse the loss either", said lead researcher Madeline Meier. Anybody else notice she said nothing about correlation != causation? Agenda, have 1 she might.

Decrease in IQ? Of course. It is the only explanation for why pot heads seem to think that legalization would increase tax revenue.

Even the Choom Gang knew that it affects IQ.

I believe this. I noticed a mental change in myself, the way I process information, my memory, etc. after quitting. I was never a pothead, but I smoked at least once a week or more from 13-17ish. It was quite a struggle that first year after quitting. My short term memory was shot and I found it more difficult to concentrate and organize my thoughts. These are problems I still have and I really don't remember having the same problems prior to smoking. Of course it could have also been the acid, but that was only like 10 times (lol I know how devastating that crap can be). I wish I could take at least the last part back :/. I certainly wouldn't mind having a more coherent line of thinking with the ability to concentrate and organize my thoughts and absorb information more easily. I guess I'll never know if it was the weed or if I'm just stupid. I usually just say I'm dumb, but maybe weed can be my scapegoat and now I can be a victim! It's not my fault I smoked that weed and it made me stupid, I was just stupid to do that! Wait what?
