Marijuana or Alcohol?

[mrplunkey]

you sure u doin it right?

you PUKED from ingesting nothing?

hmm sounds like an unhealthy physiological response (or a lie)

sounds like you got an anxiety attack and puked "from nerves".

thats a you handling your mental shit issue, not a toxicity issue

Read what you are typing -- you're dishing-out accusations left and right.

Since when did my, Smurphy or Iggy's validation of you become so crucial? You pro-pot guys need to chill out. If only you had a reliable, safe way to relax.... have you considered a nice glass of red wine?

I couldn't even imagine sitting by a fire, or golfing, or taking roadtrips without a little bit of green. Same thing with brew and football games, tribe games, cavs games and Indy 500.

 

[Smurfy]

well how do I know what the tolerability is in the general population? I only know my own experience and it was not good. That's all.

I have found, even outside of this discussion, IRL, that people who smoke pot regularly and who are pot proponents, get very defensive when someone has a differing opinion of their precious drug. I don't know why. Frankly, I don't care if others smoke as long as it does not permeate into my life or my personal space.

People generally get defensive when people spew inaccurate or bias information generated from propaganda

lol, perfect response.

MDMA is an extremely useful tool when dosed correctly. Our military is quietly doing studies that involve MDMA in conjunction with psychotherapy for PTSD and getting fantastic results.

Useful information....lol
(probably better I didn't know that in my current state)

For the record....the time I mentioned earlier in this thread that I almost passed out, I also felt really sick on my stomach....not panic. Just WAY too much WAY too quickly after going years without smoking at all. So I believe that smurfy had a bad experience with it - we all react to things different ways....she might have been smoking some crap stuff, too. No quality control when it's illegal.

I did that? All I did was give my personal opinion which is based on my experience, yet for some reason people are still getting defensive.

An Evidence Based Review of Acute and Long-Term Effects of Cannabis Use on Executive Cognitive Functions.

Abstract

Cannabis use has been shown to impair cognitive functions on a number of levels-from basic motor coordination to more complex executive function tasks, such as the ability to plan, organize, solve problems, make decisions, remember, and control emotions and behavior. These deficits differ in severity depending on the quantity, recency, age of onset and duration of marijuana use. Understanding how cannabis use impairs executive function is important. Individuals with cannabis-related impairment in executive functions have been found to have trouble learning and applying the skills required for successful recovery, putting them at increased risk for relapse to cannabis use. Here we review the research on the acute, residual, and long-term effects of cannabis use on executive functions, and discuss the implications for treatment.
