For those who dont smoke weed, WHY?

[Rssmur]

Think I will sit back on this one, I guess everyoe can do what they like. However I gave up on weed a few months back, I'm 21 but it doesn't help when you are setting up a business, and now the business is set up, I want to have a 100% clear head, so I decided to quit.

 

[bio-chem]

athey are still family and it's just normal to growl at perceived threats against any of them from within or especially from without the pack. IM is sort of like a family to a lot of us. and you don't send family members into the gloomy dark forever banned lands of your ire unless they really fuck up. an internet spat hardly qualifies as really fucks up.

truth

That's one of the biggest myths I always hear from young entrepreneurs, I need to not drink or get high so I can handle my business responsibly....but you know what I have seen those guys burn-out after a few years and then fall into a gutter of alcohol or drug abuse because they let the stress destroy them....Most of the successful business owners I know enjoy drinks at the end of the day, quite a few of them smoke weed and they persevere because they have stress relief strategies in place....

Very true, which is why I drink alcohol I never said I didn't hahah Weed used to be great though, maybe I'll get back into it one day.

just do it on your own. don't give in to peer pressure. do your thing when you want to and when you are ready. not when your peeps want you to.

i think some people can be more productive on weed. if i smoked a joint my house would be ridiculously clean and cute by the time i went to bed. i clean like a motherfucker when i'm high because it makes me anxious it's not looking nice enough. i called it paranoia a shrink called it being conscientious.

I know it might be an addicting habbit, and weed costs money.

I have hardly any money. There you go

Some comments by those who smoke pot reminds me of some of the reasons I smoke cigars. Granted, you can't bust out a joint and smoke with your co-workers or gift them like you can a cigar, but a good full-bodied cigar will "get me high" the same. Granted, this is coming from someone who does not smoke cigarettes, chew tobacco, or do any drugs.

Cigars have been my vice for the past few years. Anybody else here smoke cigars?

I do on occasion. Maybe about once a month or so. I enjoy it but I try not to make a habit of it. Moderation.

as i said i speak up for a lot of people here. in MY world you don't just stand there and spectate when someone you care about is getting pissed on. it doesn't matter who.









gee, why the fuck would i say that to Tryinhard ? are you my long lost son or something? in families you always have people that piss you off. they are still family and it's just normal to growl at perceived threats against any of them from within or especially from without the pack. IM is sort of like a family to a lot of us. and you don't send family members into the gloomy dark forever banned lands of your ire unless they really fuck up. an internet spat hardly qualifies as really fucks up.

He like the uncle that half the family doesn't like to come to the family reunions and the other half like him for the fun of it just to see what he will do this time

those who do not smoke weed

some are addicted , some are not. different people have differences. for me, there are some who do not smoke weed because of reactions that allow listener or reader to be disappointed. people are scared of being "High" and not knowing the effects of it. the main reason why some of them do not smoke weed because of rumors that have been scattered that marijuana can damage brain cells. Yes it's true! and it is not a rumor. but somehow, weed can make you happy or sad. because of the effects that it brought. those who do not smoke weed is one way for a "Healthy Leaving" .

That is bullshit, and your grasp of language is typical of the kind of person who would say this.

To cause brain cell damage, researchers had to give monkeys 200 times the average dose. Consider that is relative to 300-400 joints per day. That study was also funded by the government over 25 years ago.

The study was replicated numerous times recently adjusting the intake to the equivalent of 4 joints per day for 8 months.

The results are as follows:

In the most recently published study, rhesus monkeys were exposed through face-mask inhalation to the smoke equivalent of four to five joints per day for one year. When sacrificed seven months later, there was no observed alteration of hippocampal architecture, cell size, cell number, or synaptic configuration. The authors conclude:

"while behavioral and neuroendocrinal effects are observed during marijuana smoke exposure in the monkey, residual neuropathological and neurochemical effects of marijuana exposure were not observed seven months after the year-long marijuana smoke regimen." 53

Thus, 20 years after the first report of brain damage in two marijuana-exposed monkeys, the claim of damage to brain cells has been effectively disproven.

No postmortem examinations of the brains of human marijuana users have ever been conducted. However, numerous studies have explored marijuana effect on brain-related cognitive functions. Many employ an experimental design - in which subjects are given marijuana in a laboratory setting, and then compared to controls on a variety of measures involving attention, learning and memory.

In a number of studies, no significant differences were detected. 54 In fact, there is substantial research demonstrating that that marijuana intoxication does not impair the retrieval of information learned previously. 55 However, there is evidence that marijuana, particularly in high doses, may interfere with users' ability to transfer new information into longterm memory. 56

Stop spreading bunk ass information for fuck's sake.

Pretty general, but there are some interesting little tid bits.

 

[ATyler]

To be honest, I've never had the desire to. Same way I don't really find drinking that entertaining. I'd rather go experience something or do something than sit on a couch drunk or stoned.

I agree with half of what you said. Getting drunk or stoned and sitting on a couch is not fun but getting drunk and/or stoned and then experiencing something most of the time is way better then experiencing it sober

 

[LAM]

every couple of years I will take time off from toking from say 6-12 months this usually coincides with a very intense period of training. being sober and experiencing "reality" day-n-out is highly overrated.
