An honest discussion, just how bad is marijuana on the brain?

[Magnússon]

I've tried weed a few times and it never got me high. What's up with that?

You didn't smoke my bud.

If I'm properly deconstructing what he posted, it seems he is suggesting that THC only affects the brains of a dumbass user as opposed to intelligent pot heads.

Yes I have used that statement a few times......all in the same context. That would be when people try to generalise too much in order to make it look like their point is beyond dispute. Why would you post a link that is clearly inconclusive at best.....especially when you say you could back your original post up if necessary? If you post a link that does not say what you say it does then you shouldn't be too suprised if somebody makes a 'typical response' of that does not prove anything.

This comment makes no sense:

"Herb has no negative effect on the brain, only if one's dumbass self lets it. "

Are you suggesting that you can conciously decide whether a chemical can affect your brain or not? Or are you saying that if you go over the top with your usage, it will affect your brain? Or what?

do any of you know pot heads?? Most of them are stupid as fuck and slow about everything. Now are you saying that they were in that condition before the weed?

Understand that marijuana is not like most drugs, in that each use session's 'high' could last for sometimes longer than 8-10 hours, with after effects lingering even longer. So, you take a pothead who smokes everyday, and of course they are going to be stupid and slow, they built up so much of it in their system that they don't have to be smoking anymore to feel the effects. Go through a good detox and you will notice the difference.

If herb has a negative effect on one's brain, or a persons actions and reactions, then I say that person had those qualities already, if one is in tune with his/her self, in tune with life, in tune with the planet, in tune with there beliefs, then nothing should cause embarassing or unwarranted behavior, a person's focus and connections to the surroundings should always overcome any negative adversity, especially some herb. peace

The Herb is a path to God,it's a religion,it's sacred.Some people who smoke for the first time are almost "born again" in a religious sense.It's not a drug,IT IS GOD!God is everywhere and especially in the bud
Right Havoc?

Anyone who says marijuana does not impair brain function and have long term effects, needs to put down the doobie and listen to what you are saying. THC impairs memory skills and motor function, any drug that alters reality and judgement and effects motor skills, when taken over a period of time will ahve an effect overall, Afterall why do you think they call it DOPE_
