Worried about your memory?

Actually, Nixon set up a commission to research the effects of marijuana and advise him on what path he should take regarding its legal status. The commission gathered much empirical data and concluded that the potential harms are not significant enough to justify the laws against them and that cannabis should therefore be legalized. An angry Nixon threw the report out without ever reading it.

Check out this shit!!

Nixon wanted a "Goddamn strong statement about marijuana ... that just tears the ass out of them." Shafer was never appointed to the federal court. Nixon's private comments about marijuana showed he was the epitome of misinformation and prejudice. He believed marijuana led to hard drugs, despite the evidence to the contrary. He saw marijuana as tied to "radical demonstrators."

He believed that "the Jews," especially "Jewish psychiatrists" were behind advocacy for legalization, asking advisor Bob Haldeman, "What the Christ is the matter with the Jews, Bob?" He made a bizarre distinction between marijuana and alcohol, saying people use marijuana "to get high" while "a person drinks to have fun."

He also saw marijuana as part of the culture war that was destroying the United States, and claimed that Communists were using it as a weapon. "Homosexuality, dope, immorality in general," Nixon fumed. "These are the enemies of strong societies. That's why the Communists and the left-wingers are pushing the stuff, they're trying to destroy us." His approach drug education was just as simplistic: "Enforce the law. You've got to scare them."

I've been tokin for 30 years also and don't have any memory problems....unless I'm really fucked up!

i saw that..the laguardia report from 1935 said the same thing ...the feds have known this all along and still have continued to arrest and opress weed smokers in the us..i think every one involved in the war on drugs should be tried as a war criminal and should be punished accordingly...that means every cop who shot an inocent person in a botched drug raid should recieve the death penalty and the politicians who have kept the funding going for this assinine war should be given life in prison...and the informent's that have profited from the war on drugs should be deported ....preferably to beruit or some other fun in the sun kinda place ..

yes ...i think it's actually better ...i smoke when i feel like it and when i need relief from my arthritas ..when i was younger i was using weed and many other drugs to escape from problems that i should have been dealing with and as a result of doing that i ended up using harder drugs..it wasnt the weed that lead me to use them it was my running from problems that needed confronting that caused me to seek out more ways of escaping reality..now that ive put that behind me and dealt with those issue's i can truly enjoy the weed instaed of depending on it for dealing with problems that it isnt intended for...

I have trouble remembering events unless something strikes the memory, I also get mixed up when it comes to remembering who said what. Like the other night I was thinking of a conversation I had with somebody and thought I must have dreamed it until I finally remembered the person several minutes later. Might be from the pot, might be from the ecstasy, who needs a memory anyways.

Other than that I have always been able to remember alpha-numeric strings, passwords, combinations and the like quite well.

right on ..a idle mind is a useless mind....and exercise does help with memory....i had a work related injury a few yrs back and was stuck in bed for like 8 weeks and by the end of that period my mind had turned to mush from constant use of pain killers.. and television... the more you just sit around in front of that idiot box and veg out the more your brain is going to shut down...lack of good mental stimulation and physical movement will do far more damage to your memory than cannibis ever will....
