For those who have smoked for over a year...

[toejam]

what are some of the negative effects you have noticed?

[sampson419]

bro jsut answered almost he same question,like I said weed does make you lazy because you just want to chill alll the time. Smoke at the end of the day when your done with work, school, studying and you'll be fine

[Imotep]

lazy, irritable, memory loss, lack of fitness, depressed.
all these things have other influences. you gotta take a holistic approach to health and wellbeing.
all things in moderation though and yr right. none of these necessarily happen if you look after yrself.

about the only health issue i have had with tokin up is this freakin phlegm(? flem?) in my throat and my lung capacity has diminished dramatically. I used to be able to hold my breath for a little over three minutes but i pretty much stopped swimming so anyhow LoL

just the snot in my throat LoL and the total lack of direction when i'm stoned off my ass :D

[clevemire]

These guys are pretty much dead on. I've been smoking almost every day for over a year and I've experienced most of what they have stated. Especially the lethargy and lung capacity. I get winded much more easily when I'm out running, compared to a year or 2 ago.

Starting this weekend, I'm actually going to take a break for at least 3 or 4 weeks, so I can lower my tolerance. It's way too high. I have to smoke a whole bowl of dank just to get stoned. And the good part of the buzz only lasts like 30 mins or so.

[bongo]

everything that happens can be sorted out

[IntrepidS]

I can't sleep if I haven't smoked any weed. I literally did not sleep last night. Well I did but maybe for like 4 hours.

[BOgart.bitch]

loss of memory and money.

I've been smoking damn near daily for running on a decade now. The negative health problems associated with smoking weed usually coincide with the laziness. You just need to find an activity you enjoy doing while stoned. I ride my longboard EVERYWHERE when I can, and generally I'm stoned while doing so :)

Since I started skating more, I've noticed that the phelgm problem has gone away, my lung capacity is higher than ever, and I don't get couched locked QUITE as often. Although recently I have been spending a lot of my stoner time on here......

Peas out:D

I'd like to say there's nothing negative, but my memory is shit after all of these years of smoking. I don't know if it's the weed or just me...


Uhhhh, what was I saying?




















Yeah, I know, you all could see that one coming a mile away! :)

Mom? Is that YOU?

Hence, my nick.

I'm used to the lethargy I feel before I go out for a spin. But once I'm doing it, I think, "Man, this is a-PHUKING-mazing!".

In fact, I find most sensual things more fun to do when I'm high. (Yes, that too, gutter-brains!) The only thing I have trouble with is taking it seriously.

Like, if I ever got pulled over by a cop when I'm stoned on a bicycle, I think I'd laugh my ass off. I'd probably ruin my shorts laughing. And it's happened to me, twice, that I've been pulled over while cycling, though I wasn't high at the time, thanks be.

(In both cases I was making a left turn from the left turn lane, and the cops wanted to explain to me that I should fling myself from the right shoulder across two to four lanes of traffic to go left. That's illegal in my state -- Massachusetts, if ya wanna know -- and it's just plain ignorant. But then, look who's giving out the advice ....)

Uhhhh, what was I saying?

Way before I ever smoked weed, people would say to me, "You'd lose your head if it weren't attached to your body."

I lose shit all the time. Thing is, it didn't get any worse after I started smoking weed.

Didn't get any better, either. Difference is, I don't get pissed off when I can't find something when I'm stoned. Unless it's my weed ....


Yeah, I know, you all could see that one coming a mile away! :)

Gee, I'd love to see you. Even if it's from a mile away. :D

[duppy man]

to all those people with phlegm problems try a vapourizer you will be amazed at the difference, no coughing or tight chest just pure THC or as pure as your going to get and very soon you (due to the increase in lung capacity) will be able to sit underwater for hours on end with the one lungful of air........not really, but it is better for you
Happy tokin... ;)

[Bro DZ]

yeah, vaporizers are definetly healthier but theres just something about playing with fire and having cool looking smoke floating around that appeals to me when I'm high LoL
