Redpill me on weed

Redpill me on weed.

Are there any studies that show it is damaging to the brain?

I have personal experience with long time marijuana users that are the dumbest people you can meet.

I can tell you from personal experience that smoking the skunkadunk on a regular basis is bad for your mental health

It makes you retarded don't ever smoke it

Nothing concrete, but it can lead to a mental addiction, not a physical one. Will also kill drive to do much else other than be comfy. Will prevent you from getting a lot of higher paying jobs, but not all of them.

As long as you're responsible with your use and don't let it ever become a habit or consume you it's fine.

Makes me more focused and productive.
Way more creative and ideas flow much more easily.

Better mood, Better performance at fine tasks, like computing, instrument playing, writing.

Trick is to smoke at most only once every 4 days. That way tolerance doesn't build up and body / mind has time to recover so you don't enter the weed fog or perma stoned.

Never understood everyday smokers. Shit sucks.
It's like anything else that can be abused, like shitty food, sugar, alcohol.

>I have personal experience with long time marijuana users that are the dumbest people you can meet.

You have to consider that cannabis is a great medicine against mental disorders.

So saying cannabis makes you stupid is like saying playing basketball makes you tall.

what kinda weed u shmoking senpai

Most people ITT are on-point.

Less harmful than being drunk.
Lasts a lot longer than being drunk.
Smoking for the first time could potentially induce hallucinations, but probably only once.
You can learn to function while being permanently stoned.
The addiction is mental, not physical.
Your desire to do anything drops significantly, and all you want to do is just be comfy.
Individual results will vary.

>Trick is to smoke at most only once every 4 days.


Agreed

weed is relatively harmless compared to tobacco and alcohol

you will now see:
1) shills drawing false equivalences and associations between weed and "degeneracy"
2) terrible straw man arguments that conveniently ignore the interests of big pharma
3) fake "stories" about how weed fucked them up

When i eat some cannabis gummies after work, i sleep like a baby and take the world's healthiest shit when i wake up. If i smoke all day on a day off i am useless. It is all about moderation.

i do it because i find the world very boring and weed honestly gives me
a) something to pass the time
b) a great social tool (if u aren't a neet or lonely smoker)
c) a reason to live tbqh

I'm on chemotherapy and I can say it helps a lot. It's a shame its medical use isn't legalized everywhere. I wouldn't smoke it in normal circumstances though

Learnt med school it causes gyno

Psychosis.

cause =/= precursor to

The only reason weed is banned in most first world countries is because it's a fucking cheap resource that has many uses.
Lobbyists for the textile and medical industry got butthurt about that and successfully got weed banned by spreading lies about it being harmful.

I have no evidence and I've done no research, but the people I know who smoke multiple times per day are clearly dumber because of it, even when not high. Like brain fog. Its taken the edge and peak intelligence off of them.

Other than that, I barely smoke. I used to grow and sell, and I'd like to get into the business since I made the best people have had. I have no problem with occasionally using, but every day IMO is pretty bad.

There are negatively impacting things that can happen from over exposure to the drug over long periods of time.
That being said, it has a lot of potential benefits as treatment to a lot of different health issues at a better price then treatments that are on the market today.

maybe you're applying the fallacy of drugs dumbing down someones mind ... weed isn't all that impairing... i mean i can literally do hard tasks while on it, it just encourages you fight through the sleepy mentality and couchlock

Why waste your precious and short life by putting yourself in a fucked up mental state.

Tried it a few times, never understood why people enjoy it so much, it's pointless.

>Extreme sensitivity to weed
>Get high off small amounts
>Auditory hallucinations
>Only real con is I can drop into paranoia high easily, thus social smoking is a bad experience
It's a blessing and a curse. I can get to the point of not being able to smoke more off half a bowl.

+governments wouldn't want you consume a substance which makes you lazy and unwilling to work...

want one of these vapes!! Would it last a couple years of daily use though?

I tried it for my back pain from a herniated disc. Ended up hallucinating for 24 hours straight and puking a few times. Contemplated suicide to just make it end, didn't get back to normal for a week.

Fuck that shit, never again. And before anyone says it was laced, I got it from a government pharmacy with a prescription.

It's like a mild version of China's old opium problem.

As far as I can tell it makes some people feel good but makes them stupid too.

This. Also smoke in your lungs is naturally bad so y'know

Lel. What kind of super cuck are you? Getting hallucinations from weed.
No wonder Trudeau is your prime minister.

Smoke some mid and you'll be fine. Loud stuff that messes with your body is never fun imo, especially when you had seizures in the past.

eh, some people say the same thing about alcohol. Really depends on your physiology. I wish I didn't love weed so much.

I've been addicted, which is really bad! Especially considering how expensive that shit is
But its like any drug, if I drank everyday it would fuck me up more
Moderation is key! Its nice, but when it becomes a a habit it saps your motivation to do anything even vaguely productive

>back pain

when i smoke weed my back hurts like a motherfucker. feels bad

I often do my analytical dynamics homework high on marijuana, so don't blanket all stoners as idiots. That said, I know plenty of morons who just sit on the couch and watch YouTube videos for hours clicking on random shit or just listening to music and zoning out. It affects everyone differently, but if anything it stimulates me mentally and puts me in a more sensitive headspace.

>especially when you had seizures in the past.

Why? I had some before and I still smoke weed.

Its better for you than booze and tobacco, but the problem is you can still function in day to day life. If you smoke a lot you just lose your drive to do shit and better yourself. But you still have enough agency to survive. I am actually amazed its not legal yet, it makes people lazy and content in a way alcohol never could.

Been smoking for about 7 years now on and off so I think I can answer this.

Being at the higher end of intelligence myself (*tip) I have noticed it has affected my word finding abilities from time to time, also decision making. It's not good for studying and if you want to actually develop any memories I suggest not smoking before sleep. If you're only smoking say twice a week it probably won't be a problem but look at it this way, I recently became very depressed as a result of not doing much with my life (surprise surprise) and I find it hard not to smoke every day. I now have asthma and anxiety issues. General rule is if you don't have good self control, don't take anything to excess, especially weed since it subtly takes over your mind. Most of the people who defend it are complete slaves to it and don't even realise, they just think they've found the next best thing, fucking morons.

I don't have much choice because it's not legal where I live and I don't associate with many weed smokers. In my years of smoking, all weed has affected me like this, including reg and skunk.

It doesn't feel right when the feeling in my legs start acting up. Gets me real paranoid.

So much this I'm an occasional cross-fader I will smoke weed and do some coke. I never drink, smoke, sniff outside a social context. The key is do it rarely, if you make any of those things a regular thing or a habit it will take its toll on you.

That said it definitely makes you more lazy as smoking it late at night makes me want to skip class the next morning (as I sometimes do) but only when I absolutely know I can get away with it. I'm already an introverted person, so smoking doesn't really affect my ambitions but it's still something I don't often smoke alone. In fact, I only ever get stuff when my friends do.

>fake "stories" about how weed fucked them up

Pretty sure everyone I know (myself included) had some awful paranoia/hallucinations on their first marijuana experience because they took a large dose. It was never permanent, of course, but those four to six hours of being trapped in your own mind are not fun.

It's fine in moderation, just like almost anything else. Obviously inhaling burning plant matter isn't healthy, but there's edibles and such that don't rely on inhalation as a vector. Personally, I collect novel experiences, and I would recommend everybody who can try it legally do so just so they know what it's like.

I hit the bong a few times after after work, was high everyday during college and got good grades. I have a high paying salary job now. A quarter of dank lasts me about 2 and a half weeks

>Are there any studies that show it is damaging to the brain?

it's not good for people who don't have fully developed brains, minors should steer clear same with alcohol

fuck laws, I'm sick of medical monopolies,

all drugs over the counter, why do you need a bean counter in a white coat to administer meds when google does just as good a job, probably better

I heated like a ml of oil to activate it and ate it with some toast. My friends said I did way too much, but I've had hallucinations when taking bong rips too.

I'll just stick to the occasional hydromorphone or oxycodone.

My mind is constantly racing and weed is a way to put a pause to it and just enjoy the moment.

>more creative and ideas flow much more easily
>makes me better at everything blah blah blah

And what do you use these incredible new superpowers for? Eating everything in your pantry? Or perhaps playing video games? Or perhaps socialize with people you can't stand sober?

Wow. This. I try to only smoke like three to four times (total) a week now because I'm in the same rut. I like to make the excuse that being in a masters level degree of chemical engineering program would be this hard sober, but weed has had long term effects on my drive even at this level of usage.

I have smoked since i was 14. Made me have a lot of panic attacks as a kid but now im my mid 20s i dont have any issues. Sometines i get high and get a littke panicy about work but i can just take a few deap breaths and stop it.

This.

If you have good willpower, it won't be a problem to smoke the devils lettuce

>hallucinating for 24 hours from weed
>the government would never lace anything with chemicals
>flag

Because things like desoxyn, fentanyl, and morphine would end up killing too many people.

That's the problem for a lot of people, it makes you comfortable not striving for better.

Smartest person I know was former housemate. He works at NASA and smokes weed 7 hours a day. His behavior high and not high are nearly identical. Only difference is being high increases his 'morale'. He once had me impersonate him so I could get past security and bring him weed.

Stoners are retarded is a meme since before there were memes, an easy joke. It's like saying all people who drink coffee are hyperactive. There's truth to it if you only do it once in a while.

Long time smoker. It makes you stupid. Short term memory goes, sense of smell goes.

I smoke everyday since like 8 years now. But I work in IT so.

My place is a mess unless someone coming over because otherwise I just get stoned and read books or contribute to this site.

A lot of people who were not intrested in self betterment in the first place smoke weed. I don't beleive most people who wanted to be successful smoke weed and lose all motivation to be successful

this man speaks truth

t.100,000+ hours logged smoking weed

There are loads of studies on looking at cannabis use and white matter/cognitive function. Not saying it's worse than alcohol but it can fuck people up

I have a question. If I were to move with my pothead buds, how bad would the smell be? I smoke once biweekly and am worried that someone will catch us in the neighborhood or guests i.e my family/friends will smell it.

This.

I do smoke weed, but only from time to time. Same as with Alcohol. I barely drink. It's actually better this way. I'll be high/drunk as fuck after a few drinks, or smoking one joint.

I don't need weed or alcohol to be another thing I need to worry about and spend money on.

weed makes me age regress and puts me into the context of a preteen/teenager again.

>Are there any studies that show it is damaging to the brain?

No.

However, if you go through life in a constant haze of pot smoke (because you're too lazy or cowardly to do anything but dump good feelings on yourself always), you'll be constantly under its negative psychological effects.

Imagine if you spent all your waking hours masturbating. That wouldn't be healthy, either.

>I have personal experience with long
you do realize that smart marijuana users would never have told an idiot like you that they were toking?

Buy any air freshener that contains alcohol specifically isopropyl alcohol

You'll be amazed by how well it works.

This. Also everyone takes to weed differently. Ive been smoking longtime and barely affects me but i still feel and know im high. Some people are sensitive to it smoke it once or twice and it fucks them up.

>Imagine if you spent all your waking hours masturbating
>Imagine

How the hell did he get a job at NASA? Surely they administer hair follicle drug tests for potential employees?

Honestly dude? Quit with me. I'm about to smoke my last ever joint. Wish me luck.

Honestly, one of the biggest drawback to smoking all the time that people forget is you don't remember your dreams. That sounds like some hippy shit, but I swear, dreaming, and waking up and thinking for a few seconds "what a weird dream" or "what a terrible dream" or "what a great dream" is actually important psychologically.

I smoke and voted Trump come at me

I tried it once and I didn't like it. I started hallucinating and and I got paranoid that I would die. It still depresses me thinking about it today because it makes me feel like a degenerate as smoking weed is such a normie thing to do and it can lead to harder drugs.

Most likely he stopped smoking until he secured the job. NASA wouldn't drug test unless he did something really retarded at work and they tested for insurance reasons.

Don't smoke weed more often that 2 times a week, hash - more often that 1 time a week.
It's a good thing to make your muscles relax and to enjoy food or music, but your memory will go worse.
Everyday smokers are dumb.
I'm going to end my stone in a month and drop it.

If you're self-aware and disciplined enough to manage your use and tolerance, than it can be fine. But most people are morons incapable of doing that so most users you will come across are the people that smoke until they have some absurd tolerance and use it as if it were a casual tobacco product. That heavy use will absolutely blunt you mentally in the long-term.

Don't hold yourself to that unless you really REALLY want to achieve your goal.

If you want to quit just reduce your usage. Bring it down to once or twice a week and go from there.

This is because intelligent cannabis users do not tell people they use cannabis because of the negative connotation. I'm a mechanical engineer and I've used cannabis for over a decade now. I fucking hate stoner culture and I voted for trump. I graduated with a 3.5 overall gpa and a 3.8 in my major with no weighted classes. Not an astounding gpa but I never said I was a genius. We aren't all lazy morons.

I really don't like eletist faggots who think people who never tried weed are inherently superior. Remonds me of bill oriely

Daily smoked for a year, and I agree with all of this. Didn't want to find a job, gf, friends ect. just wanted to chill at my couch and get high. I can't moderate myself so I just don't smoke anymore for my own good

I just don't understand how you or anyone can be addicted. I've smoked weed (almost) constantly for 3 years. It's fuck easy as shit to come off. It's about as addictive as robinsons blackcurrent, I drink that shit everyday wouldn't call me an addict, but of course more expensive.

Turnover is really high, they discard people who are brilliant but not genius level without a second thought. People who've been there for more than a few months are like inner circle. The admins probably lie and say they test them. It's really like super advanced, super competitive academia. They don't want to lose their best personnel to drug tests. They want to research new things. They want problems to get solved. They don't care how it gets done, just that it gets done.

>muscles relax

man it's one of the reasons I stopped. Like the gooch kegel muscles between my balls and asshole would start tingling so I'd go sit on the toilet and spend 10 minutes trying to wipe shit from my ass only to have nothing come off. I hate body highs.

I have almost no way of cutting down, I have no willpower. Cutting it out entirely seems to be the only thing that worked

I smoked everyday for 5-7 years... I haven't smoked in 2 months going on 3. I still feel brain fogged and perma stoned. WTF ....

Will it ever go away or am I permanently mentally drained?

I just looked on the NASA website and they seem to be very adamant about having a drug free workplace. It says employees are subject to 4 unannounced drug tests per year.

>I can tell you from personal experience that smoking the skunkadunk on a regular basis is bad for your mental health
you're a faggot

Me too...But some people need to figure it out for them self, i guess.

I'm a second year student in uni and have been smoking every day for the past 2yrs. honestly, as long as you smoke as a reward system for a long day's work, you should be fine. People that smoke weed daily (from my experience) seem to do it because they choose to smoke weed rather than do anything else. As long as your daily routine doesn't focus around getting high and not doing shit, you won't develop a dependence.

From my own experience:
>nothing beats an entire day of classes and work like 2 fat joints at the end of it all
>used to treat my parents like shit but weed mellowed me out and now my relationship with them is the best it's ever been
> social environments don't freak me out as much as they used to

as a result of smoking weed everyday, sometimes I find myself in a fog-like state but I've also read a decent amount of evidence that would support the notion that this fixes itself if the user takes a month long Tolerance break.

I would say a huge contributing factor as to why many people get hooked or hurt their mental health is because they use weed to fill a void or help with their already pr-existing mental issues. I'm sorry, but if you're naturally a very paranoid/anxious/depressed/unmotivated sack of shit before smoking weed, you're likely to be an even more unmotivated sad sack of shit after smoking weed.

tl;dr Weed's not dangerous at all as long as you don't let it consume you

this. There's a reason why most of Asia has very red pilled and strict laws on drugs. They went through it once and don't want to go through it again.

This, so glad I stopped

The highest I've got from weed was the first time I took multiple edibles and thought I was a baby again with a while bunch of memories coming back, but I just slept it off, how tf did you hallucinate for a week off weed?

get out more, a lot of dumb people smoke weed that doesn't mean weed smokers are dumb, just that most people are stupid in general

All I know is it feels good and it's a great cure for the hiccups

It infantilizes you. Makes you lazy.

>Don't worry goy, we'll take care of everything for you.

this fampie

I smoked every day for about 2 years, 5-7 days a week for 3 years

It took me about a year to feel the fog leave

Having a girlfriend sucks though. The only good part is sex.

out of ingredients it's THC that will do you harm, it's basically hardcore poison to your organism

but damage is not really about drug takin for itself, it's about the lifestyle, company, what it leads to ruining your life


eg. its not a joint or 2 that will do you anything, its the type of people you run into- junkies, dealers that will fuck you up
also, next day you might just wake up next to shrooms or cocaine...
if youre not in right country legal issues and leading to more indirect legal issues

saying that marijuana is a gateway drug is maybe a clichee but its true,
way more true than kids today imagine

feel free to ignore, mock or call me stuck up, but dont say i didnt warn you
also, imagine what kids of weed-smoking parents are gonna turn into

This. People think everyone who smokes is an idiot because every idiot they come across happens to smoke pot, while the intelligent people who use cannabis keep it on the down-low. I used to smoke (haven't in years) and people were always surprised to find out I smoked because I was never a "DUDE420BLAZEIT" moron and made sure to maintain good hygiene and wear cologne and shit so I didn't smell like it all the time.

Don't listen to just quit man after the first couple weeks you will feel much better, check out /r/leaves it'll help

Been a moderate smoker, took up a music project, isolated myself and started smoking more weed (it incredibly enchances my creativity, and i love creative work so much that even under heavier drugs all i want to do is draw or write or produce music.
I had a habit of going home early just to work, so it debunks the whole no-drive thing.
I believe that it just enchances your everyday thoughts, for example i become more ambitious while high, more talkative, more enthusiastic, while an opposite personality pal has it the other way around and he smokes just to be comfy.

But one thing is for certain, i would rather do 100000 pushups than read/study for an hour while high.

Dude it wasn't a clear weed, you probably have used spice or other smoking synthetic mixes. This shit is very popular in Russia, periodically there're news about man who cutted eyes to his daughter or jumped away from 20th floor

you should try heroin :o)
