If you smoke pot and can't name one negative side effect I don't see how you're smart enough to tie your own shoes.

Blah blah blah - The last words of a defeated moron.

LOL!!!!!!!! :dance:

[del...]

yeah, just what i figured. it's all crap straight out of your butt. iow, all you have done is litter up eddie's thread with bogus info.

[Gumby]

what no one has seen Reefer Madness?? Weed makes you go crazy and kill people... everyone knows that...

[Theduderino]

Congratulations, and I'm far from a hippie. The fact is you refuse to except the facts because you're a habitual user of the substance in question, which is a TEXTBOOK addiction symptom.

Proof? Links? Anything not coming out of your ass? LOL!!!! :dance:

Take an iq test or a SAT/ACT type test sober, the next day take an iq test after smoking 3 blunts in a row. Not a fucking internet iq test, a real certified one. Then tell me there's no negative side effects when you see the difference in the scores.

Ok you little fucking baby, go to google and type in substance addiction symptoms, are you really that fucking helpless?

[del...]

hey, but you're the one with all the answers so save us some time and show us where you got all this material you're trying to force us to believe...

or let it drop and quit spewing such crap...which is all i'm after anyway. i'm just tired of seeing all these so-called facts being so carelessly tossed about as hard and proven facts when all they are are myth, conjecture and outright bullshit.

People who smoke marijuana often develop the same kinds of breathing problems that cigarette smokers have: coughing and wheezing. They tend to have more chest colds than nonusers. They are also at greater risk of getting lung infections like pneumonia.


Animal studies have found that THC can damage the cells and tissues in the body that help protect against disease. When the immune cells are weakened you are more likely to get sick.


According to one study, marijuana use by teenagers who have prior antisocial problems can quickly lead to addiction (3). In addition, some frequent, heavy marijuana users develop â??toleranceâ?� to its effects. This means they need larger and larger amounts of marijuana to get the same desired effects as they used to get from smaller amounts.

Marijuana produces immediate, temporary changes in thoughts, perceptions, and information processing. The cognitive process most clearly affected by marijuana is short-term memory. In laboratory studies, subjects under the influence of marijuana have no trouble remembering things they learned previously. However, they display diminished capacity to learn and recall new information

That took me about 30 seconds.

Actually, I have a masters degree, which you would already know if you've read some older threads I've posted in. I know your job of moderating a website is so important you probably didn't have time to look through them. I'm not suprised, though. It was obvious you were going to dis-credit anything I posted. If you have trouble finding studies on marijuana in the internet maybe you should think about getting a different job.
