Rots your mind very slowly.

...

Straight-edge faggots wont talk to you if they know you smoke

can have negative effects on a developing brain. can also cause paranoia and anxiety, and trigger schizophrenia in others. wouldn't recommend smoking before the age of 25

I don't know but I'm on my 4th day after quitting cold turkey and I just want to kill everyone then kill myself.

you will get superaids sharing hemp needles

tbh dont fucking smoke it everyday and there are 0

>costs money
>smoke hurts lungs/throat
>eat a bunch of junk food
...
POWER GAP
...
>become the tard pothead that never shuts up about how great weed is and has nothing else to talk about

you probably have depression you are self medicating

go see a shrink or something

this more than anything. when I used to smoke all the edgy kids talked to me, no actual kids talked to me tho

Benefit

...

Smoke it daily and not only do you end up wasting money, you run the risk of becoming dependent-- but no more dependent than you would be on caffeine, sugar or porn.

Smoke it on the weekends and you're fine.

Well would you look at that. The truth.

This is propaganda.

it's an all around shit drug in general

god I love fenton comics please post more

irrational, insecure retards will hate you because they cant use google properly

you get what you paid for

Jail and drug tests.

for real lol

Shrunken hippocampus which can lead to lack of motivation, hunger and ability to fall asleep

Straight edge fucks are the lowest form of life on the planet.

Find a random drunk off his ass retard, beat his ass and act all high and mighty about it. The thinking man's hobby.

source pls? Legit want to read it.

I think it largely depends on the type of person you are and how much you use it. But overall, I'd say the types of people you will most likely surround yourself with when smoking. Almost all the people I used to smoke regularly with are losers who think way too highly of themselves despite doing nothing of value.

Good luck finding one that isn't bias as fuck towards one side. Half of them pass the damaged hippocampus off as a good thing

I like their reaction to smelling pot the best
You get that OMG DRUGS look as if youre still in high school
The straight-edge type really are the most boring assholes on the planet

>user is a help.

Best I could find medscape.com/viewarticle/873108

currently recovering addict. it can consume your life. you can become dependant on it. I am 2 days sober and have violent chills, watery eyes, horrible mood swings, and a very deep seated sadness.

there are negatives to weed. smoke responsibly. Just like you're addicted to the internet, you can be addicted to weed

overdose

Lung damage. Your lungs are not designed to be filled with smoke. Especially hot smoke

you fucking pussy weed is mental I smoked for 4 years straight every day before everything, Mixed every bong rip and joint with tobacco or I smoked a blunt. Stopped cold turkey for two weeks no problem the whole physical withdrawls is bullshit. I get moody and can't sleep as well but violent chills and watery eyes is some bullshit you quit something else too. I was addicted to tobacco and weed (only cuz I wanted to smoke tobacco without cigs) and had no problem quitting. Its called self control. If you can't quit weed you're destined for a life of unfufilment. I have yet to meet someone who's "dependent" on weed (which I thought I was, just tobacco) that can't quit that is not suicidal. Get your shit together faggot its not that hard don't be an attention whore.

smoked 1 year every day straight
so if you go 3 months straight there are no downsides, but if you get near 6 months or a year yeah it will effect you a little.

It's the same thing as becoming an alcoholic. If you drink every day your life will suck. If you smoke every day your life will suck.
Not hard. If you're abusive everything you do will suck.

have a good day user. any other questions message me. I'll leave it open for another half hour.

>negative of smoking weed
>not smoking weed??

Fuck off i quit weed 5 months ago and I'm fine.

it's quite expensive and if you have a job that drug tests you'll need to buy fake urine on top of that so it can become pretty bad

>costs money
yeah that's only a problem if you're a poorfag
>smoke
yeah edibles retard
>junk food
sorry nope. I've actually never had that experience.

>nothing else to talk about
I'm the same person I was before I smoked.

You probably believe in god. Sorry retard but you're likely wrong about anything you know.

>You probably believe in god.
420 fedora lord

for real though if you just grow your weed and dont smoke it to use it is there really a downside?

ya with weed withdrawal the first week or 2 is the worst if you were really seriously using, after that its nothing. Compared to any other drug addiction its childs play.

OP asked for negatives to SMOKING weed.

I created a laughingly silly list that shows how great marijuana is considering these are the worst things about it I could muster.

Hopefully you're just pretending to be retarded, but you probably are the pothead meme I jokingly mentioned.

This is retarded.

You get used to being in another mindset. It makes you more or less effective in different applications. Your brain makes temporary neural connections, good for seeing connections between things, bad for focused thought. You can get perspective, but while in that state, you're ineffective as all hell. I'm going to stop smoking for at least the month while I work on bettering my life.

I get really pissy when freshly sober. Hormones and shit have to back to normal operations, and have to rebalance for a couple days

There are always downsides, but for marijuana they are minimal compared with other drugs.

You have to spend time and money to grow. You have to add anxiety that feds will raid. You might take a weednap when you meant to watch football. You know, the will of satan.

>>junk food
>sorry nope. I've actually never had that experience.

This. I actually really enjoy a nice salad when I'm high.

i'm never much on salads, but I'll eat plain carrots and celery like chips when high.

Every hobby costs money. Do want to mention that I lost a ton of weight while smoking, eating fast food every day. After a while, it regulates your metabolism. Downside is vegan-like shits constantly. I have a shit diet, and I've lost ~30 lbs doing nothing but smoking, working a bit for money, and eat shit food.

Makes you complacent, lazy and generally unmotivated with long term use.
Doesn't go well with most mental disorders.
It can become something your life revolves around. Just waiting for that next bowl.

This is my personal experience. I smoked weed everday for about 5 years. Been clean for the past month and can already see very positive changes in my life. Sleep is better, I dream vividly. I'm much more confident and life isn't boring as fuck all the time anymore.

>Sleep is better, I dream vividly. I'm much more confident and life isn't boring as fuck all the time anymore.

All of that is stuff that happened when I started smoking weed. Different people react differently I guess.

No shit, smoking heavily depletes all of your serotonin receptors

>Every hobby costs money
Thats kinda my point. There are downsides, but everything has downsides. Refer Madness makes pot look like you took all the PCP and meth that ever existed.

I had the same experience with dreams after I quit. Used to never dream, now I get vivid ones nearly every night.

If you don't mind me asking, how long have you been smoking? My personal testimony is also from a place of very heavy use and low-functioning depression and is not necessarily empirical data.

>Doesn't go well with most mental disorders.

it doesn't go well with ur mental disorder you dipshit. it works for add/adhd, ptsd, depression, anxiety, etc. stfu with your anecdote story trying to make it sound like experienced information.

i forgot

lol you seem really defensive. Potheads always want to make weed seem like it's harmless. But in reality it can make anxiety and depression a whole lot worse. Keep abusing drugs, buddy. I'm sure it'll get you far.

Shut the Fuck up retard. I get mad anxiety and mood swings when I quit smoking weed. I been smoking almost every single day for fuckin eight years, and I'm not the user you're replying to but I call bullshit on your retarded faggot ass

its lies, im into lucid dreaming and weed makes me lucid dream and i think its because i fall asleep without realizing im asleep.

This

How long ya been smoking weed ya cock smoking faggot? You don't know shit

It has a short term benefit to depression and anxiety, but after the peak you go straight down the rabbit hole again

You're a fuckin faggot

Sounds like everything for depression.

i'm prescribed by doctors you fucking idiot. your entire post is moot as moot. you just have an uneducated view on marijuana.

My firsthand experience of smoking weed for 8+ years regularly and having no dreams, then quitting and having vivid dreams every night is lies?

Cool story, bro.

He's not wrong retard. I have a pretty bad mental dependency on it. I get anxiety and mood swings when I run out/can't cop some

Not all of us have weed prescriptions ya fuckin fag. Try dealing with your issues without dope and tell me how it goes you fucking retard.

If you ever use weed recreationally then you don't use it medicinally. Doctors also prescribe people lots of bullshit, doesn't mean it's empirically good for you. Trust me, I probably know more about weed than you do. And I don't say that to belittle you, it's probably true.

what the fuck? lmao i used to smoke almost every day, decided to stop one day because i wasnt having fun, didnt feel a fuckin thing.

only thing i felt was the "oh yeah that was fun, i might smoke with some friends later this month"

No totally dude. I've only been smoking about a year. probably alot to do with environment though. like i hardly ever smoke by myself. almost always with my girlfriend or a group of people.

i can second this. The good thing about weed is you don't dream, and believe me i don't want to dream anymore. Unfortunately there will be no prescription for me and i refuse to take medicine that previously fucked up my body and my mind.

And some people can handle their liquor/cocaine well too, what's your fuckin point dipshit

Makes you lose your memories.

thank god for that.

haha good point. but seriously? quitting was that bad for you?

I agree with this. short term and some medium term.

alright, since this is apparently the designated pot thread

whats the best way for dealing with the smell? bought a bag off a friend of a friend and don't want to stink up the place. cant really go outside because lol suburbia and don't want to smoke it in the garage either because my landlords a nice guy and I don't wanna stink it up. also next door neighbors a cop (although pretty chill, I've talked with him before).

I'm not him but I get anxiety and mood swings when I stop smoking. It's a daily habit I'm mentally dependant on. Imagine that other people are different than you.

Smoking is bad for your lungs and throat. Wastes your time. Otherwise it's a fine alternative to drinking.

drug use /=/ drug abuse I suppose is what we can garner from this. Any drug can be abused, weed is no different. Just because I reinforced my bad headspace/lifestyle with weed doesn't make weed a bad thing. Weed is an awesome drug and has a lot of good uses.

Give this man a fucking sandwich this comment is legit

JUST go for walks at night. That’s what we did in high school

1. smoke with friends
2. go out and do something while high or smoking, even if thats just walking around your nearest large town/city
3. use cologne and deodorant
4. bring water bring water bring water bring water bring water bring water bring water bring water bring water bring water bring water bring water bring water bring water bring water bring water bring water bring water bring water bring water
5. you're good

this

that's everything in life that brings pleasure. there's more than just mental benefits in it for me.

also it requires dosing and keeping your tolerance levels instead of increasing the amount everytime you smoke.

if you do this then you won't have the issue you are talking about. quit treating this like a rec drug and work on dosage. have alternate forms. i have everything from salves to flower and dabs. i dab only when necessary for my physical conditions and i watch my flower consumption.

i have ptsd, anxiety, severe depression, add, adhd, odd(opp. defiance dis.) ibs-d,BPD. i take mmj for ptsd, anxiety, depression. most importantly the ibsd,i'm in pain and unable to eat to the extent i stop eating for days. i've had this Rx for 3 years now and it gets checked up on yearly.

so no these stories about negative opinions with mj and mental disorders are from self righteous assholes who had a harder time with it and could not control it. now instead of directing people towards help, they act like they accomplished something by immagine every mj user has the same weaknesses and struggles they could not overcome.

it helps with anxiety and ptsd tremendously and is proven and ptsd is an auto qualifier for mmj Rx. so it works for them. it's also proven to work for depression. the same arguments about depression and mj go for anything. chocolate ice cream can lift someone's spirits and enlighten their mood. when u have it daily with every meal it doesn't do shit for ur happiness levels and just makes you fat and becomes a new eating disorder. same can be said for pills. now ur addicted to opiates.

so to put mj in that classification is just stupid and backpedaling. you need to realize your personal story with mj is PERSONAL and not a general fucking experience.

get an airtight container for storage. For smoking either get a dispensary quality air purifier or just go outside. Hawaiian hotbox also works (turn the shower on maximum hot, smoke and smell should mostly dissipate into the steam, going either out a window or into your bathroom fan)

everyone is different, and every strain is different.
some people will have no neuro effect, others will (past age of brain development )
Worst thing would be damage to lungs and throat, vaping weed is the only way to not get cancer from it

then u have a mental addiction. same shit for people who go without coffee.

go get an rx. why wud i make my life harder? just because u can't get an rx doesn't mean it isn't a damn good rx.

it's not true i assure you. i've grown it, trimmed it, smoked it, extracted it, cooked it, candied it, salved it. i understand the different compounds and how they work, strains, terpenez,etc. unless you did something redundant like smoke with a mj celebrity. we're even at best if what you claim is true.

Final conclusion to this thread:
Smoking a few times is fine, on occasion is okay but could do a little harm to throat and lungs, daily use is bad for your mental health, lungs and possibly throat, but not the worst thing for you. Could cause some dependencies.
Doesn't rot your brain, but can make you lose some brain cells overtime if used more than weekly. A positive side of it is that it can help with depression and anxiety while using it, especially on occasion, and can help you relax, and think creatively, while it will hurt the way you think non-creatively while using it. Edibles are better than smoking for your physical health.
The best thing you can do is not smoke, but if you do, its not that bad unless abused.
Is this assessment accurate?

you're very defensive. As previously stated in this thread, cannabis is a drug and can be abused just like any other drug.. By trying to discredit someone elses personal drug testimony, you've completely discredited your own. You've basically said that your own testimony is more important than others. Which is a good way of showing your low intelligence.

When you smoke, you release dopamine. If you have dopamine problems, smoking cannabis can exacerbate them. Good job, you threw around some cannabis buzzwords. That really shows your knowledge. But please, keep telling me how your drug of choice is completely harmless. It really shows me how stupid I am.

>get an airtight container for storage.
This much I gathered. didn't have anywhere to stash it so I stuck it in my gun cabinet. 20 minutes later and I swear it's soaked into the fucking wood. and now my Ruger reeks of it :/

>bring water
yeah, I figured this much out already. cotton mouth sucks.

should probably mention this isn't my first time smoking it. just my first time buying. can you vape it? is that any better or worse? not averse to spending money, the shit turns me into fucking Confucius. just hate smoke in general.

Weed essentially will kill some braincells, not hard drug level but still. Especially if your brain is still developing. It can alsl trigger some mental illnesses. Also I cant believe inhaling smoke is good for your lungs in any case

...

No, I don't think you can vape it but you can vape thc I think.
Edibles might be more your speed. They take a while to hit but when they do they hit hard.

Lethargy, paranoid anxiety, muniches

Final conclusion to this thread:
Smoking a few times is fine, yes.
on occasion is okay but could do a little harm to throat and lungs. NO it's temporary damage at best. heals after stopping. usually is simply irritation.

daily use is bad for your mental health, lungs and possibly throat, but not the worst thing for you. Could cause some dependencies. only bad for VERY few and usually they have some mental issues that have addictive tendencies. these people may suffer from these experiences and scare people away.


Doesn't rot your brain, but can make you lose some brain cells overtime if used more than weekly. There's no brain damage. some mental side effects like short term memory loss and having an effect on dreams or behavior. it sorts out after stopping. that's not brain or cell damage.

A positive side of it is that it can help with depression and anxiety while using it, especially on occasion, and can help you relax, and think creatively, while it will hurt the way you think non-creatively while using it. idk what you mean by non creatively. if you think this will stop you from paying your taxes no. however you may find your taxes to be the least of your worries while on it. if a regular user you must find a remedy for this like doing things when not medicated or changing your mindset. not too difficult. can't get high until i finish taxes today. easy if you don't have a physical condition that takes away that freedom of choice

Edibles are better than smoking for your physical health. Yes BUT it is really easy for users overdue it if they are not regular smokers. everyone also reacts a bit differently. body size,amount consumed, how much mj was in it, was it activated thc, was it overactivated, time to kick in.
The best thing you can do is not smoke, but if you do, its not that bad unless abused. there's other forms of consumption. u can dab, u can vape, u can tincture, etc.
Is this assessment accurate? half but this is Sup Forums. not bad

Here's the actual downsides to smoking: prolonged use before the brain is fully developed (~25) can worsen your memory. Smoke is generally bad for your lungs. It's illegal, so you could potentially get caught and be charged with possession. You won't be able to have a job if they drug test. It can be expensive if you use it a lot.

If you smoke once a week, you won't really run into too many problems.

sugar is a drug and can be abused like any other drug. shut up already u just want to think you know more lmfao i'm not here to prove shit to you i'm here to undo ur damage. move along.

You dont get negatives from the plant itself, you get them from mold residues and pesticides that are meant for ornamental plants not for human consumption. They spray so much pot with Avid and Eagle 20 its fucking disgusting. Might as well throw some agent Orange on your weed.

>Eagle 20

and this contributes to neurotoxicity how?
