What I Think Happens To A Lot Of Smokers, Who Are Voters Now Today:

-They introduce their bodies to Marijuana, before going through what it takes to make in their profession. They go through the process of attaining a "higher-salary", or a better job, while giving Marijuana more of a break. Either totally, or, close to it. They'll either give it up, for an extended period of time, slightly before, or, slightly after the introduction into their profession.

Then they smoke it, again. In a growing body, it is shown that Total Abstinence will not provide the benefits of light-use. To further drill it down, Total Abstinence, from the beginning, will not provide the benefits you get after having Pot introduced to your system. But, the Former-Users, still, do not reap the benefits you get as the one who's still "lightly" puffing the ganja.

If you've introduced your body to Cannabis, and then shut down the Cannabinoid Receptors (for an extended period), I'd think that you'd, either, damage them or deaden them. But, if that's not true, the entire body would be activating it's Cannabinoid Receptors for the first time in a long time, causing a "mental shock", or, literally, a "physiological shock".

This creates the "I know what Pot does to you" statement. And then there's those who've never tried Cannabis, or have only once, and those are the ones the above paragraphs should be talking about.

Of course, not everyone is like this.

I can't remember if I made any sense.

I quit smoking for about 15 years to attain a high salary job. Now that my goals are complete I picked up the MJ. No shock, no dead cannaboid receptors, I got nicely stoned and have enjoyed it every time since.

Ha Ha, and a good guy, you are, UncleChunky. :smokin:
