Who smokes weed?

Messes your head up and makes you stink. Also makes you virtually unemployable.
The kids these days smoke Bud grown locally covered in THC, a lot stronger than hash, and can seriously mess you up over time

Acute health effects of cannabis use
The acute effects of cannabis use has been recognized for many years, and recent studies have confirmed and extended earlier findings. These may be summarized as follows:

  • Cannabis impairs cognitive development (capabilities of learning), including associative processes; free recall of previously learned items is often impaired when cannabi is used both during learning and recall periods;
  • Cannabis impairs psychomotor performance in a wide variety of tasks, such as motor coordination, divided attention, and operative tasks of many types; human performance on complex machinery can be impaired for as long as 24 hours after smoking as little as 20 mg of THC in cannabis; there is an increased risk of motor vehicle accidents among persons who drive when intoxicated by cannabis.
Chronic health effects of cannabis use
  • selective impairment of cognitive functioning which include the organization and integration of complex information involving various mechanisms of attention and memory processes;
  • prolonged use may lead to greater impairment, which may not recover with cessation of use, and which could affect daily life functions;
  • development of a cannabis dependence syndrome characterized by a loss of control over cannabis use is likely in chronic users;
  • cannabis use can exacerbate schizophrenia in affected individuals;
  • epithetial injury of the trachea and major bronchi is caused by long-term cannabis smoking;
  • airway injury, lung inflammation, and impaired pulmonary defence against infection from persistent cannabis consumption over prolonged periods;
  • heavy cannabis consumption is associated with a higher prevalence of symptoms of chronic bronchitis and a higher incidence of acute bronchitis than in the non-smoking cohort;
  • cannabis used during pregnancy is associated with impairment in fetal development leading to a reduction in birth weight;
  • cannabis use during pregnancy may lead to postnatal risk of rare forms of cancer although more research is needed in this area.
The health consequences of cannabis use in developing countries are largely unknown beacuse of limited and non-systematic research
 
Out of my mates growing up about 1/3 smoked a lot and still do. From a group of 30ish the 10 or so dopers are mostly doing ok but it is notable that none have really good jobs or have made much of their lives. When you go through the people who have had marriage break ups, losing jobs and generally shit lives etc they all come from the weed smokers (and other drugs). My one mate who has really f*ked his life up has smoked loads of weed. The 2 people I know who have had and still have severe mental health issue both smoked loads of really strong weed.
I don’t smoke weed.
 
I smoke but am lucky in that i know myself very well and can keep it in check. For example if i mentally even huff at the idea of walking the dogs i give myself a damn good slap and put it away and jump up.
Cognitive wise, hmm well i just setup a ramdisk glftpd server running nfs on zfs filesystem on debian (i know it should be bsd or solaris support wise) and that was done with ease really so for me i can't subscribe to the stagnation of the mind. That said i do see it in others though i should stress that.
I am still pretty shit hot on warhawk and cod etc so keep my hand eye up to standard.

The above is just a few of the methods i use to keep myself in check, i suppose drinkers do it with saying "only 4 tins tonight" and such.
I will gauge myself against the sharp energetic person i know i am and if there is severe discrepancies i cut right back or stop for a bit.
Everything in moderation :-)

Are you a politician?

Drugs make the goverment a fortune in tax.
Nobody has overdosed on weed. You neverhear of anybody house breaking to fund their weed habit. Wales use it in cancer treatments.
Alcohol's far more dangerous to society. I've been involved in fights, arguements relationship break ups and death because of alcohol.

If I have too much weed I'll eat too many jaffa cakes and watch Family Guy.
 
Ive given it plenty of chances but it does nothing for me. Ive honestly no idea how people function on it! It either makes me feel sick or makes me feel knackered. I think im more of an uppers kind of guy
 
Would wake up to a joint in my late teens early twenties and smoke it all day. Decided to try a couple of days without it and never smoked it since 18yrs now. Smoked a joint of black a couple of years back but that green shit the kids smoke now fcuk me smoked half a joint of this in the boozer a few years back and it sent me right under went home and drank a bottle of Glenfidich to drown the THC.
 
When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put aside childish things.
