Marijuana or Alcohol?

[jiggagold]

Those studies are filled with ducktales and funny how you just one day decided to pull a bunch of studies on pot smoking and read them, sounds like more ducktales. How about this for a study, why don't you get smashed one night and high another, and tell me how you feel the next day.

You don't think alcohol fucks with your memory?

Its ok to be wrong every once in a while.

Being hungover for most people = your day is fucked. Most Human beings experience hangovers.

When I plan to go out, it basically counts as 2 days of not being productive (the night, and the following day).

I get baked at night, maybe I wake up a little groggy but some caffeine or a workout and I'm 100% of what i would be.

Never smoked pot but know if I have more than 2 or 3 drinks in one night, I am not worth 2 cents the next day.

If I pull a good ol college drunk, I am sick for 2 days. Next day is lay on the couch about to puke and the 2nd day is normal hangover day.

I hate hangovers and why I try to limit myself to two drinks.

I pulled those studies because I was having the same retarded argument with redsamauri. This is a roughly once-per-year EF debate. It's not like this is an area that's closely studied in the literature.

And don't get me wrong. Your study idea is a great one too. I just found $20 under a red car in the parking lot. I'm excited now, because if I ever need quick cash in the future, I just need to look under the closest red car.

P.S. Alcohol can definitely effect your memory. Long-term abuse kills brain cells and malnourishes you as well.

I found $50 in a dark alley adjacent to Cutter's

I just watched this documentary on the pot issue in this country.

The Union

Even if you sidestep the focal point of the flick it kinda makes you sick realizing how bass-ackwards and irrational we've gotten with our spending as a whole. It doesn't take much to understand the reasons either.

About the best logical, rational explanation I can muster as to why pot is still illegal if money was taken out of the equation would be that which they answered themselves. Its detrimental effects stay in your system far, far, far longer than any other narcotic. In a way it's a damn shame seeing as how by itself it's so much less harmful chemically than any other as well.

Months ago I pulled a number of peer-reviewed published articles from primary sources on the after-effects of pot, including its short-term effects on cognition and memory. Here's the cliff's notes summary:

1) There is undoubtedly a short-term (1-2 days) after-effect from pot, even after the acute phase of the drug wears off. This effect impacts both cognitive and memory skills.

2) This after-effect is definitely more pronounced in regular (i.e. daily) users. True intermittent users experience much less of the after-effect.

3) There is overwhelming positive evidence that the after-effect subsides long-term, even with regular use that can include multiple uses per day.

Now I don't mind re-pulling the studies when I return to Knoxville, but if the best our stoner crowd is going to retort with is some anecdotal story about how they much energy they get from wake-and-bake, then it's just a waste of time.

It's not about the studies bro. It's about saying that a booze hangover is less detrimental to productivity than a weed hangover.

It's not even close.

It's an unfair comparison to begin with.

A person who smokes 5-6 days a week is going to have impaired cognitive and memory function compared to someone who drinks 2-3 glasses of wine 5-6 days a week. I don't see how this is so hard for people to see.

Pick WEED not even a question. It helps me because I've lived with ADD for most of my life. All the people that I'm close with prefer me on. Nothing bothers me and my agression is under control completely. Could be easy to anger when off and restless. Besides there is more bad things that come with alcohol anyway.
