meh, some people smoke every day and live to 90, others get cancer and die in 5 years. but, this cough did start around spring, so alergies are a possibilities. I just got worried after I got a cold and when I coughed up the mucus it was black (eventually after hacking up half my lungs the mucus looked normal again).

must've been allergies. i've been smoking pot and cigarettes for about two years consecutively(except for those bad days). my lungs are alright...i can't run long distances and shit but i can still hold in a huge hit for a minute.

about the decreased motor skills, as long as you pay attention to the road and other drivers you should be ok. my friends dad smokes and only has one arm...he's one of the best drivers i've seen.

MJ aint completly harmless: Teens(11-20) can get scizophrenia from chronic use. BUT that of course is not only INCREDIBLY rare, but you have to be smoking it constantly. I mean REAL constant. Im in the most dangerous zone cause im 17 and suffered depression and anxiety But it didnt make either of those worse or hindered my recovery from it.. Cause if you have existing mental ilnesses mj CAN make it worse. But certainly not on me.

*lemme know if any of my facts arent straight!

i honestly dont understand how that is even remotely possible. although you did say it was incredibly rare i still dont see it. but then again, i've put so many chemicals in my brain that i dont even know what caused what. i have some anxiety. i had some depression when i was recovering from a recent roll...boy did that drug diminish for me.

but yeah...can you tell me where you got that information?

I was getting ready to make my 5 times a day prayer but i'de just smoked a fatty and my mom yelled at me and told me i couldent pray whilst i was high so asked her why. She said because im high and i told her that i still remember how to recite my prayer and just because im high it doesent mean im out of my mind...pretty much shut her up lol.

*cough* In other words, your not gunna go insane and your not going to paralize(sp?lol) yourself so toke on!!!!!! I think you should stop thinking about the negative things about weed and concintrate on the possative things about weed!


Note to everybody: I cant spell for shit....sorry if its hard to read whatever i write lol but who cares spells not that big a deal in school

i forgot to mention something.

there is some weed out there that is considered psychaedelic. nevilles haze is an extremly potent plant...but i still dont think it has any long term effects.

lol, why is everybody telling me "You won't go insane"? I never said I think that'll happen, because I know it doesn't! I was asking about motor skills, memory, basic mental functions, stuff like that. not while high, permanent damage. but I'm starting to think there's nothing to worry about in that department.


on a more possitive note, weed has been extremely effective for treating my anxiety. and I don't know if any study's have shown this, but it also does WONDERS for nerve damage, I have a good smoke and it's like 80% better for 2-3 days after. the medicinal potential is pretty amazing.

My psyc told me that it can cause psychosis and blamed my last episode on weed a few mths ago.It actually wasnt the case i got mania because i was stressed about things it was not the pot.I was smoking for about 6 yrs before that and it always calmed me rather than make me psycho.I just think everyone is different and i havent had any bad affects.But other drugs such as speed will fuck your brain beyond repair.
