[slipknotpsycho]

if you were that damn famous and busy i reallly doubt you would waste your time on here so my guess is that no you are not...

I've been smoking about a gram a day for a few months (once a day/multiple times a week for months prior) and my lungs don't give me much trouble, I walk far distances daily and don't really get shortness of breath or anything.
Im lazy, but i've always been that way and I doubt the cannabis makes it much worse.

My memory sure is funny, I can remember things that are important enough to me though it is somewhat hard to remember things that I am told throughout the day. My memories of the past few weeks are vague, I couldn't tell what happened monday from what happened wednesday but if somebody brings something up I may be able to remember it in more detail.
I do not believe in have in any way harmed my brain, my math skills are as good as they've always been, I understand algebra and physics just fine. I was never great at speaking to people but still find writing to be pretty easy. However in verbal communication between peers I find myself often having to say "wait so what the hell have you been telling me about for the past five minutes?"

I am however hundreds of dollars in debt and really need to find a job or some sort of motivation.

Word. Saved me the typing

I'm a daily smoker who smokes anywhere from an eighth to a quarter a week. I've been smoking for about two years, and I haven't experienced any serious negative effects from my habit except for those caused by the fact that the government is utterly convinced that this substance is so harmful that not a single citizen should have the choice whether or not to ingest it, unlike tobacco or Drano, and that it is so destructive to society that like enriched uranium nobody can possibly be trusted with it except for government officials (who as we all know are perfectly clean, moral and uncorrupt people).

But I digress. Cannabis has not significantly affected my memory to the point where it causes major problems. Occasionally I'll forget what I was just thinking about but that doesn't really matter as I don't do anything terribly important when I'm that baked. Usually I'll just be playing a game, surfing the Internet, watching TV or something.

My lungs haven't suffered either. Occasionally I'll hack up blackish-brown loogies but I'll just look on the bright side and be happy to have coughed up that crap. I can run and do other physical activities as well as I could before I started smoking.

In all of recorded history there has not been a single documented case of someone dying directly from cannabis use, so I don't worry too much about long-term health effects which I expect to be pretty minor. But even if it did give me cancer somehow, to quote the employees of the tobacco company from South Park during their singing and dancing number:

It makes me feel calmer when the day is at an end,
And if it gives me cancer when I'm eighty I don't care,
Who the hell wants to be ninety anyway?

Short-term memory loss ("I forgot why I came upstairs...") and lack of motivation.
