Dude, don't buy into the flat-out extremist stance that it does nothing but good for you. It acts neuroprotectively, agressively kills cancer, settles the digestive system, improves long-term memory, and reduces inflammation (albeit the opposite for me the past year or so). But don't fool yourself, you're still putting tar into your lungs and that's never a good thing any way you look at it. It does have some mild hinderance effects on learning and short-term memeory, though there's a good chance that's temporary looking at recent research. I think science is still on the fence about it aggrivating psychological conditions like schizophrenia and depression. And lastly, it desensitizes the cannabiniod receptors in your body which is an important part of your bodies regulatory system.

Once you get a tolerance so high that you don't get that magical hallucinogenic state anymore, I think it sort of dulls the experiences in life (when you're not on it mainly) that would normally get really really excited/happy/feeling significant. That's how I've felt at least, I have an extraordinarily good memory of how I percieved the world at every age right down to when I was 3.


word man, i know exactly how you feel.

if down the road you should start smokin again, cool
if you dont, thats cool too
Seems I've had a lot of responses like this one. Thanks for being so understanding all .


I quit smoking, I just vape now.
Good for you man! I tried to stick to vaping, but when it came right down to it, smoking is more pleasurable and so much easier than heating one up for 10 minutes and having to use a wall socket. Stick to it, it's good you have the willpower.



Not yet for my. I'm, still in. What's it like being not stoned? Last I remember it was a bit dull.
Actually, it's more exciting! I find I'm appreciating life and the little things, the little beauties, more now that I'm not getting high. It's as if all the wonderful effects cannabis used to give me have completely reversed (especially the analgesia).
