I have a link somewhere for this, that was just of the top of my head, i'll have a look out for it as the doc explains it better than i just tried to!

I can deny that claim with simple good judment. All chemicals that marijuana gives your brain and body are naturally produced in your brain. Therefore, if you do NEED marijuana it's because you've smoked too much of it and your brain sees no need to automatically produce those chemicals for you. Same goes with people who take ecstacy. It feeds you dopamine and when your brain neglects to produce it even after you've stop taking ecstacy, you fall into a deep depression. Four-to-eight hours of fun could mean eight-to-eleven years of depression.
The only benefits of marijuana is that it can help cure cancer. You're taking advantage of the plant and most importantly yourselves. I'd feel handicapped if I felt I needed a plant to keep me on my p's and q's. That's just me.

That'd probably do you a lot of suffering.
Do some research.
Edit: Also be sure to check the credibility of your research. A five year-old can put some bullshit on a website, snaz it up a little bit and viola! He has a website for fools to become confabulated from his word.
If you read what i wrote i put people DO suffer from short term memory loss, but not the majority. Personally i dont.
Smoking weed DOES NOT make anyone stupid. If they want to become lazy, not work, not learn and spend all their time smoking weed its their own decision, not the weed.
The way you talk about it its as though you dont smoke it.

It's all really just simple psychology. Do some reading and you'll be amazed and what you learn. I had the bad habit at believing everything I read, too. And I'm still a little skeptical on a lot of the theoretical assertions in psychology.
To put it into my own words: I don't believe God would have put us on this planet without the essential means to live productive lives without the aid of plants, drugs, stimulants, etc. Now, don't get me wrong, I believe that even on marijuana that the human brain can still function effectively, complete minor and major tasks, so on and so forth. But I'll certainly never believe (again) that it's neccesary to be high in order for an individual to perform at full potential.

Alright, perhaps my claim was has pompus as your own. The point still remains that you're putting this plant on a pedestal and glorifying it with all your might.
Being lazy and not working aren't stupid decisions. People are lazy and don't work even if they don't get high.
But in order to learn something you've got to memorize it first, or paraphrase what you're learning. Nonetheless, your memory plays an enourmous role in human intelligence. You made an accurate presumption, though. I don't smoke it, well not as often as I used to. I also don't diversify my world into categories such as stoners and non-stoners anymore.

Very true Ganj we dont NEED it to help produce this chem, but why wouldnt you want to be able to store more information and have a greater memory? Thus bettering yourself?
Just my 2 cents

In other words, you're saying why wouldn't I want to be depedent on marijuana to produce these chemicals instead of allowing my brain to? It's the dependency issue, man! If marijuana were free and abundant alongside the roads and in our forests, I would have no disapproval for being dependent on the plant, but it costs! And it's not so cheap at that. It's illegal. People go to jail for having an eighth on them in Texas. There's too much baggage that goes along with getting high, but I hope that my point is clear to you that I would love to give my brain these chemicals at the cost of being dependent on it, while being high at the same time. I would love it...if it were free. But it can't be free. Either way, I'm losing something. I guess it just depends on what you value more? Your brain's natural ability or your enjoyment? And I might add that you can enjoy life without being high.
Also, I think you missed my point. It doesn't improve anything. Think of the plant as switching a particular region of your brain from auto-pilot into manual. Now in order for you to receive such chemicals you'd have to smoke marijuana, instead of having your brain do it on its own whenever something is learned, etc. And who knows? Marijuana may produce more of these chemicals than your brain does at a given time? There's only one thing, though. The memory of the human brain still remains the most mysterious process, so I suppose we won't know for sure if marijuana can enhance your ability to memorize information, thus improving your intelligence. Do some experimenting on your own. See what you discover.

Some pretty harsh laws you got the Ganj. If i were caught and have been on many a occasion im always told 'to be on my way' with herb in hand. But i will take your comments on board and have a lil experiment of my own!

You've got to be organized, though. Make sure you know what it is you're testing. You might want to take the study of biological chemistry, too. Just because scientists have discovered the function of chemicals in our brains and bodies doesn't mean that you too shouldn't discover them for yourself.
And most of all; have fun with your experiment and not just on your couch. Haha!
Harsh laws, indeed. But I see policing our nation as a fruitless task. People should learn to protect and serve themselves.
