So what I've gathered is that you think cannabis can do nothing beyond get you stoned, and that it cannot have any direct effect on mental functioning... honestly, it sounds like you are in COMPLETE denial. A year ago I likely would have completely agreed with you... but I suspect that your thoughts will change with time.

And as for marijuana, it contains chemicals that alter the way your brain works. How could you be so ignorant as to think that it cannot change your behavior, sleep, and appetite etc?

Lastly, what inspired you to take my initial post so damn personally? Your all-cap words and obvious disgust seem a bit dramatic...


Denial? You're how old? I've been smoking longer than you, more than you, and probably know more about it than you.

And yes, your right. It disgusts me that people would be as ignorant as YOU.

Your trying to blame your problems on weed, and THAT is pathetic.

Weed doesnt do half the things you seem to think it does.

Cannabis does increase your appetite - but it's YOUR choice to eat.

The same goes for pretty much the rest of your post. Cannabis isnt doing these things to you, YOUR doing them to yourself.

If cannabis caused all these problems, wouldnt everyone [ok, not everyone, but the majority] feel the same? Wouldn't the older smokers such as myself know ALL about this?

Weed doesnt make you lazy - it doesnt nail your feet to the floor. You make yourself lazy.

I dont think i mentioned anything about sleep, apart from dreaming - and what i said was 100% right.

So, you carry on blaming all your failings as a human on weed, and have fun while you do it! :thumbsup: hahahahaa

And if your going to try and prove me wrong, just make sure you stay away from the government sponcered/influenced websites, otherwise it's automatically void.
LIP Reviewed by LIP on . Stages of Marijuana Smoking These are the stages of smoking that I went through up until now, starting in my sophomore year of high school. I am now a freshmen at Loyola Marymount in Los Angeles, and I spent about 1/2 of the first semester completely baked. However, I hope this time my abstinence will be permanent. I am posting this in order to both promote my own decision to quit smoking, and to assist anyone who may be blind to their own similar experiences. Stages: 1.
