Weed on the other hand, well, short term memory is harmed for two to three days by about 30% effective immediately after consumption…

I play brain age for Nintendo DS

Memory games are lacking about 30% when high
Calculation down about 10% when high
Logic no negative effects
Visual no negative effects
Other effects: Minimal anger.. Minimal power. And Relaxation.

ANXIETY
Because your not prepared for a cruel world. Anxiety is not caused by marijuana. Anxiety is caused by being relaxed when you should be naturally expressing anger or vengeance.

To properly respond to what is probably a dim and unfortunate situation, quit weed. Quitting weed gives you higher levels of resilience and healthier doses of aggression.

If u quit marijuana within 1-5 years, you can make a near perfect recovery… 5-10 years.. Your pushing lady luck into anger but you shall be sparred.. More than 15 years.. You’re a chronic long term substance abuser, However, It’s very much worth it to stop right now.

Long term chronic effects
Weed. goodbye 1meline sheets, brain, lungs, heart
Alcohol. goodbye brain, liver, heart, life

1meline sheet: a protective, slick and lubricating gel that covers all brain cells

Hope this helped, drink lots a water when your stoned, wash weed if it smells sprayed.

PS. Quitting can suck because the word recovery naturally intends a grind. However, one moment of pure clean fun followed by many others. That’s life.

I am 18 and just graduated from high shcool. i have never ever touched alcohol, marijuana, or tabacoo. I am very proud of this.. i do not agree with any of these being legalized… i think all of them are disgusting. They all smell nasty, they make people just act stupid, and in my opinion all are addicting to some level.. i have seen too many of my friends through away everything for these stupid things… one of my friends is the most talented violinist i have ever seen and he is throughin it all away for these drugs and now a lot harder ones because these do not give him a high anymore… i can think of so many more… i am sure you do not want to read about all of them.. but i think it is such a waste of life. I have a great time my whole life without any of these. I do not understand how you can not have fun being sober… do not get me wrong i am just as stressed as anyone else… the man i love is over seas with the marines and i will not get to see him for atleast another year (it has already been six months)… and i have to pay for college, i do not know what i am going to study yet, and so much more but i do not need drugs, i do not understand why anyone does…

I have one question about marijuana… If cancer patients are prescribed a medicine called marinol, the “pill form” of THC, then whats so bad about the natural form? Yes, smoking is not good for you, but for those not in the new age, you can also vaporize, and even cook it into food… suck on that. Here’s another thing for those talking about young teenagers and depression. Whether its legal or not people are still going to do it if they want to! It will just mean less drop-outs and more tax dollars for our government instead of the countless thousands they are doing now to catch people that aren’t even doing anything wrong. It is a plant. For me, I am a Christian, and to me it’s just another one of God’s creations. I mean we use it in our medicine, doctors recommend it to cancer patients “off the record”, there’s no reason it should not be legal. There are so many great uses for hemp. Thomas Jefferson brought many great things into this nation, and guess what! he smoked pot! My neighbors smoke, they are some of the nicest people you will ever meet, they smoke and they have 3 multi-million dollar houses! People are so naive. If marijuana didn’t have the label it has achieved today, we would not have all of these stupid arguments. Tobacco is grown, it is smoked. Marijuana is grown it is smoked. Turns out marijuana isn’t even as bad for you… I have a 4.0 GPA and am attending UT in Austin or A&M… I’m a senior in highschool. I have done a lot of research and have yet to come to a conclusion saying that marijuana is “bad for you”. I have smoked three times in my life.. It’s just like whatever to me. It destressed me, it made me feel great, and it brought new meaning to the mountains of Colorado, lol. Just a little green every once and a while won’t hurt you, you just have to be responsible. Drink responsibly and smoke responsibly. It’s not that hard. I would never smoke before a school day or drink before a school today. Potheads will be potheads whether it is legal or not. Sit on that statement for a little bit. Once again, a little bit every once and a while will not hurt you, (neither will it all the time, I just have a hard school life lol.),And right now and until they make it legal, the only thing that will hurt are the sirens and the flashing lights… word.

those who say bad things about marijuana dont have the facts correct. the best thing to do is investigate.
FIND OUT FOR YOURSELF…GET EDUCATED…STOP ASSUMING

i have smoked greens for 19 years and the only ill efect is procrastination. my kids know when i get home it’s time to put my smile on. when i’m crabby they tell me to put my smile on.
(I don’t hide things from my kids.)alcohol makes me vomit budah makes me eat.im not religious, but don’t you think that sweet sticky fruit helped monks meditate, skinny people eat, ADHD people calm down. ben franklin . albert einstine . and our fearless leaders in history smoke marijuana, were they insaine or the ones who had it figured out?

I used to smoke every day and I was a happy person. Now because of the old outdated fear based laws I cannot smoke (that is if I want to keep my job). I must have a job in order to pay my bills and keep my home. You know to be a productive member of society. But now I am depressed and have little enjoyment in life. I ask myself how could it be fair that I work for a company that will pay for alchol for its employees on business trips and company christmas parties etc. but will fire or suspend for use of a far less damaging substance…Laws must be changed get up off the couch and vote.. write to your senators Lets make america the free country that it claims to be…….

some of that is true but both should be illegal they are both damaging to the body there is no right in smoking and drinking. both can lead to crimes because that is mostly part of the reason why it became illegal anyway because of crime violence racism and because it is harmful to the body. if doctors dont recommend marijuana maybe its because too many people may use it to much and abuse their body also alcohol should be illegal because it has just as many crimes but that would cause and uproar in the nation because it has been legal for a number of years!!

well i smoke and have never had any problems i am not saying it is right to do so but it is not right for the gov. to say its wrong either because we (for the most part) live in the u.s.a and here it is suppost to be a free country but it seems that the gov. is able to tell us what is wrong or right to take in to our bodys and i think that alone is a violation of freedom. (and by the way some of you need to look up how weed was made illegal mostly lies*)

I deal with young people every day trying to come of this & its a long hard climb.. sometimes moving away from the area that they grew up in. leaving friends and family.. for what!!! a substance that produces a feeling that as far as they are concerned unable to reach themselves without it. they dont do anything. in their words just ‘mong’ out.. they dont care about their appearence.what others think.they become totally insular!! I agree with everything John wrote especially that there is something wrong if a person has to rely on a smoke to feel happiness!!!.. listen to the message your giving our young generation. your telling them its ok when its not…. the best thing i experience in my work is watching a young person decide they want to stop.. everything changes about them. they start lookin at themselves & realise they have been stuck for a long time.. its difficult ‘not easy’ for them to stop the dreaded stuff but when they do.. they find out who they really are and feel the happiness.. natually of course…
