i was just trying to show the other side, and that marijuana doesnt always cause those things....as for research, there is plenty to support both sides of the arguement, like anything else, it is just what you choose as an individual to believe...sorry if i misunderstood your post bird, but the way i read it was an implication that marijuana makes you lazy and dumb...i hate that stereotype...
I love doing English while stoned, as I can slow down and focus more on single ideas, and therefore my papers explode with detail. I'm more 'quick' in conversation, when high, otherwise sober me while not dull, would not be considered the life of too many parties either.Quote:
many scientist have said cannabis has given them more insight, musicians claim that it slows down time and that we are able to fill that void with another note that might not normally be there, i have met fellow vets who claim cannabis heightened their awareness in battle. Some of the world smartest people have used cannabis. Some of the worlds dumbest haved used it. Then there are those of us who like to feel we are somewhere in the middle.
I figured the same principle would apply to math when I got into college this fall; it made it even harder to understand the class. When high, i just can not make simple connections in some mathematical procedures. It sucks, but that's why i don't smoke before math class.
I think like IQ, general impairment or enhancement varies from user to user, but I'm sure we can all agree the general effect of being stoned is Joe user, while not dumb as the media would like you to believe, is a little slower while stoned.
sorry about that post, I was just going to say i agreed with you, but i got high :)
No problem at all. I generally work hard at not making stereotypes about cananbis users/supporters. That's why I coined what I said in "I language" throughout my previous posts. Because I know experiences vary greatly from individual to individual, just like people's responses to other medicines do. And because I know from my time here that all stoners aren't lazy or dumb. . . . My impression is that most of them are much smarter and more creative than average.Quote:

We don't! We're a lot more comfortable being lovers than fighters. (Lovers of other people, I mean!) I hate fighting. That's a guy thing. Actually, I did see a lady in a store earlier today who I know could have held a WWF heavyweight title if she'd gone for it. She almost had a beard.
As a rule, nurturing is much more my style . . . Princess's style, too!
princess superstar is a nutter but i luv her cuz her text is pink.
birdgirl, have ever smoked weed before?
Have I ever? Heck yes. Used to toke up all the time during college. And I did last summer probably 15 or 20 times when my sister was sick. I love it. And I'd smoke it again, too, if it were legal and easy to obtain. I hate the shadiness of trying to buy it, though, and am afraid to indulge right now.Quote:

i can't think of anything relevant to say birdgirl. but i will say this. keep fighting the good fight. i like your enthusiasm and and passion for a substance you don't even touch anymore. and i like your idealism "when it's legal...".
tag...you are AWESOME, but you know this...
the mod team...we love each other loads and none of us would have anything bad to say to another on purpose..sometimes meanings get lost in the typed word i think...if that makes sense...
