Yeah... that's not how marijuana works.

I think that the OP is basically entirely correct.

Civil_Warrior ago

Psychological dependence resulting in a frail mind when sober is a common issue. Hilariously, it's not the weeds fault...it's the individual who is unable to handle it.

Conspirologist ago

I have some years of experience. Who the fuck are you?

SomeoneSquishy ago

A guy with years of experience that doesn't buy into the hippy spiritual bullshit typical potheads try to shovel on us. Yeah, pot does some great things, but dont be fucking retarded and try to say it's some miracle mind-altering, life-changing experience.

Conspirologist ago

Yes, it is. If you and people you smoke with all have high iQ.

Civil_Warrior ago

If you have ever had a gun in your hand ready to kill and a friend smokes a joint with you...well, you realize it is a miracle in certain situations.

not too far off... pot opens your mind to other ways of interpreting things. Totally makes one more likely to question what one's being told/taught.

Yeah but five minutes later you've forgotten what you were thinking about.

nosejobsforequality ago

have you no recall? no focus?

IIJOSEPHXII ago

When I smoke weed I can have a brilliant thought about God or the Universe, and condense it down to a sentence that is perfect in its simplicity. Then five minutes later I'm like, "Aw! What was that again?"

nosejobsforequality ago

I've never had that problem with weed... and I smoked very heavily for 15+ years (and socially many years since).

Thetiedyeguy ago

I find the opposite though, they don't think of anything critically other than the (((games))) and (((entertainment media))) they consume while high. They collect welfare, pass it to their dealer, spend the rest on junk food and tell you to chill out if you want them to stop.

nosejobsforequality ago

low IQ people who would do that anyway?

I've met hundreds (maybe thousands) of pot-smokers and the overwhelming majority are very successful and intelligent. (of course to be fair, most of the people with whom I have more than a superficial interaction are usually successful and intelligent)

Thetiedyeguy ago

I agree, IQ has more to do with capacity to think critically than pot or not.

nosejobsforequality ago

but the pot (in someone capable of critical thought) encourages additional criticism.... Additional angles from which one wouldn't naturally perceive things. In my opinion both cannabis and natural psychedelics are very beneficial tools. I've smoked pounds and pounds of cannabis in my day and tripped probably 100 times between mushrooms, acid, dmt abd dxm and everyone I met who pursued the latter substances possessed at least superior if not genius intelligence.
