It might be. I prolly got high and wandered off.
WHAT??? All the pot heads that I have ever had the mis fortune of dealing with sure do not have too much going on upstairs. Creative thinking:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol: Yeah, if by creative you mean zoning out like a zombie then sure.
your friends are all just morons naturally then
full of fail.
if your gunna TRY talking bad about weed, u should go do some research instead
u mad?
well seeing as THC and other chemcals in weed are naturally produced in your brain, you do in fact feel different because of it
I like people who are trying to make a point, but use terrible spelling and grammar, so then they look like idiots.
why is this such a contentious issue? seems like everyone has a super strong opinion one way or the other and insists the other side are idiots. its like religion. Live and let live. :sword:
I’m pretty sure Newman doesn’t give a fuck what other people do to their body. As long as it doesn’t involve him. So get off his ass. (to Franco)
Really? I think there are a lot of indifferent people to the subject.
seems like theres a lot less of them on here than in real life. maybe people just like to argue.
no i just love the people that think weed is such a bad “drug” when in reality it has no negative effect on your body in any way
People on here like to argue?
ORLY?
I wasn’t attacking newman in any way i was saying that to everyone because a lot of people do talk before they know what they’re talking about.
It will have an effect on your attitude and the way you feel if you haven’t smoked in a while.
I’m not against weed, but I know that it DOES have effects on you. So don’t give me this bullshit that it doesn’t give any negative effects.
The short-term effects of marijuana include:
-
Distorted perception (sights, sounds, time, touch)
-
Problems with memory and learning
-
Loss of coordination
-
Trouble with thinking and problem-solving
-
Increased heart rate, reduced blood pressure
Sometimes marijuana use can also produce anxiety, fear, distrust, or panic.
Effects on the Heart
Within a few minutes after smoking marijuana, the heart begins beating more rapidly and the blood pressure drops. Marijuana can cause the heart beat to increase by 20 to 50 beats per minute, and can increase even more if other drugs are used at the same time. Because of the lower blood pressure and higher heart rate, researchers found that users’ risk for a heart attack is four times higher within the first hour after smoking marijuana.
Effects on the Lungs
Smoking marijuana, even infrequently, can cause burning and stinging of the mouth and throat, and cause heavy coughing. Scientists have found that regular marijuana smokers can experience the same respiratory problems as tobacco smokers do, including:
- Daily cough and phlegm production
- More frequent acute chest illnesses
- Increased risk of lung infections
- Obstructed airways
Marijuana contains more carcinogenic hydrocarbons than tobacco smoke and because marijuana smokers usually inhale deeper and hold the smoke in their lungs longer than tobacco smokers, their lungs are exposed to those carcinogenic properties longer. One study found that marijuana smokers were three times more likely to develop cancer of the head or neck than non-smokers. Many researchers believe than smoking marijuana is overall more harmful to the lungs than smoking tobacco.
Other Health Effects
Research indicates that THC impairs the body’s immune system from fighting disease, which can cause a wide variety of health problems. One study found that marijuana actually inhibited the disease-preventing actions of key immune cells. Another study found that THC increased the risk of developing bacterial infections and tumors.
Effects of Exposure During Pregnancy
Several studies have found that children born to mothers who used marijuana during pregnancy exhibit some problems with neurological development. According to those studies, prenatal marijuana exposure can cause:
- Altered responses to visual stimuli
- Increased tremulousness
- Problems with sustained attention and memory
- Poor problem-solving skills
LIES!!! ALL LIES!!! FRANCO TOLD ME!!!
Those might be true for some people but just like every other drug, including alcohol, it effects everybody differently. I’ve been smoking weed every day for the past 2 years and i have not lost any ambition to play sports and stay physical. And during those 2 years i have never lost my vision or blacked out or whatever else the short term effects are.
Oh I’m not knocking the maryjane. I swear everyone I know smokes weed. I could give a damn what other people do. I don’t smoke because I turn into a paranoid schitzo, and I can’t control my thoughts and I get all freaked out and weird. I do not enjoy it one bit. On the times that I have smoked, I was wishing the high would go away.
I know some people who I would rather be around when they’re high though because they’re less irritable and really chill to hang out with.
Edit: Franco, can you read? Where the fuck does it say black outs and loss of vision anywhere in what I posted?
Sounds like you have a serious case of the self justifications bro. I am not hating on you deciding to smoke every day but to think it has NO negative effects short term or long term on your body is really absurd.
