I say it depends on the person and how much they smoke. I know some people are very smart, very brilliant but they cannot kick their weed habit long enough to do something with the talent they have.

O.K. Here I go, I've been a daily smoker for 32 years straight, yes 32 years 16 hours a day or more, I'm a self proclaimed expert on the subject and for sure it hurts the dreaming process and being able to remember dreams. It should not be illegal, but alcohol should!. I recently quit(1 week ago) just so I could get a decent job(**** tests) and my dreams have come back and now I can remember them better. It does motivate sometimes, and sometimes not depending on frame of mind or what's going on that day. It is a great social barrier breaker and allows one to get along with other fellow smokers regardless of age differences. It does however dominate sometimes like when you run out and are looking for more, but I've actually lost a couple pounds in the last week just by not getting the munchies so bad. Anyway that's my input and if anybody wants to talk more just pm me, I love to talk about sticky buds! woohoo! PEACE , Dan P.S. I'm 46 so I started at 14 wow and if I had all that money I spent on it I'd be retired LOL.

[ForsakenFalcon]

it's odd every few year's or so i'll gain this sudden strong instinct to quit weed for a few weeks or a few months and adventuraly it just seem's to keep comeing back lol... =/

it's allmost like my soul uses it to sleep and stops it when it wants to be focused lol =P

Damn it! I need new glasses. At a quick glance, I thought this thread was titled "CANIBALS Promote Brain Growth."
I was on the verge of rushing next door to eat our neighbour when my wife pointed out my mistake. Just as well - he's pretty fat and I've got a cholesterol problem.

Not in this corporate land, where only a study from ITT counts for something and not the talents people have...
If you look in history, there were (And Are!) lots of people doing very creative things.

I would almost go out on a limb to state, that there were some primates long ago near a field of hemp that caught fire, they breathed some of the smoke, and one had a thought pop up in his mind.. What if we go to the other side of the river and survive that way instead of running our *** of to stay in front of the approaching fire?. Homo First thought was born... But I can't state that, so I won't. We were "created".

Symbiosis is a close ecological relationship between the individuals of two (or more) different species. Sometimes a symbiotic relationship benefits both species, sometimes one species benefits at the other's expense, and in other cases neither species benefits.

Just say no;-)

Not only for the smoking but also:

Oh, I must say: After 38 years of smoking on a daily basis I gave it up and although I enjoyed it I never regretted giving it up because my head is clearer and my dreams are back again.

Cannabis may promote paranoia and depression in some people.

There are enough paranoid and depressed people here already.

Moderation in all things.

(wise moderation)

[Dantheman62]

Excuse me Bleep, but what the bleep do you know about this bleepin subject? Just kidding. It does make you more bleepin paranoid sometimes, but being paranoid makes you more bleepin careful, and bleepin depression depends on your bleepin frame of mind at the time. I believe that there is nothing bleepin wrong with it overall and should be bleepin legal. Alcohol does alot bleepin worse and is bleepin legal, go bleepin figure! I mean holy bleepin bleep for bleeps sake!..LOL!... Phew!, That's a bleepin mouthfull!

[Orion11]

off to promote some brain growth.

i love how those who have no experience with it,
talk like they know. lil humerous, really.

completely agree, cannabis as alcohol are not any kind of panacea.

[Orion11]

seems some people havent done their research.

tsk tsk.

alcohol is poison.

cannabis is medicine.

[Dantheman62]

Exactly Orion, and did I say Exactly!

you are what i dont like to recognice, that is not a problem. It´s a common thing.

[Orion11]

not really sure what your meaning is. please elaborate if able to do so.

the simple reality of it is..

some people are just not equipped to properly use the tools that nature provides.

Peace

Uh, huh?

[deepblu777]

Yes, it is backwards..

Alcohol should be illegal, better yet..ABANDONED

pills and all the other chemicals with it.

HERB = natural, safe, benign

[Hypnotize]

i really like this thread cuz' i smoke a lot of weed and i'm really happy to hear it's god for ya'.

[Jsor2112]

I think it is a very good thing. My father died of cancer and during the last few years he was advised by his DR to smoke. It eased his nausea and chronic pain and he kept food down and actually ate a little more. I think they keep it illegal because they make more $$$ that way. Prisons get money for every inmate. Also cities get money to fight "the war on drugs" when there is a bust they weigh the entire plant not just the buds. So say for example an entire plant weighs 10 pounds it is a 10 pound bust but actually MAYBE 1 pound of that is buds. not to mention all of the happy pills that people are prescribed would no longer be needed and thats not good for the pharmacy companies.

[Orion11]

yep,

they cannot capitalize on it like they wish they could.
not to mention, the huge drug companies would be out billions upon billions of dollars
if people were allowed to get the medicine and relief naturally from a plant, instead of from their poison, with infinite negative side effects.

its all about $$$$$$ like jsor said,
fortunately,
for us,
thanks to other people like us, there is enough cannabis seeds on Earth that it will never be gone.

i assure you that.

and please, if i have to create a whole new thread full of scientific studies showing the benefits, as opposed to the risks, i will take the time to do so..

but i promise... it wont leave much room for anyone to come in and dismiss it and continue to call it "bad". lol


Bless

and this vape is for all you 'enlightened' folks. lol

I look at it like this
Ever puked from smokin too much?
Ever get a hangover from smokin?
Ever been sooooo messed up from pot you can't walk, talk, move? (can't and NOT WANTING TO are different)
Ever picked a fight while high? ( not including over the last slice of pizza!! )
No is the answer to these but if you replace it with alcohol the answers are usually YES


ONE MORE THING
never throw out seeds in the garbage .... save them and toss them out the car window. If it grows wild all over it's harder for them to stop!!!

[warngen]

mine never has seed.

FYI: Anyone REMEMBER the term LID?

I do from way back when.....From the Late 1960's to the 1970's.

Here is what I found on Wiki-Answers

Question:
Where did the phrase Lid of marijuana originate?

Answer:
Lid, a Baggie, an Ounce

The term 'lid' of marijuana goes back to the 60's. Back then you could buy a 'lid' or a 'can' of pot.
The can was aproximatley 1 oz, the lid was1/8 oz.
The term came from the practice of breaking up a brick (a kilo or later a key) of tightly packed marjijuana and storing and selling it in Price Albert tobacco cans.
A can held approximatelyone ounce.
The lid would hold aproximatley1/8 oz. No one weighed it really, it was all done by eye. By the time I was in high school in the early 70's the term can had gone away and the term lid referred to an ounce.
The term nickel or dime bag was still used in the 70s too. But by that time the amount of pot in the nickel ($5) or dime ($10) would vary - though the price was still $5 or $10.
But; if you bought a 'baggie', it would contain an ounce and the price would vary.
In the 60's a bag was a bag was a can was an ounce and the price for the ounce was 5 or 10 depending on quality.
I don't know if there were 7 dollar bags or 8 dollar bags. Yeah so go buy some okay.

Personally from experience of watching people way back when to be Paranoid or Depressed was due to their State-Of-Mind.

NOTE: I edited some of the spelling errors that I could find. I am not an expert speller so I may have missed some. (I have an 'idea' as to why this person that wrote this misspelled so many words)

I've never PICKED one but others have with me when THEY were high

^What you say is usually true, but by no means always....

I'm not a much of a drinker either, (rarely) but I think people underestimate pot.

If you smoke all the time, and have abit of a tolerance you're right as rain. It has undeniable health benefits when used correctly.

I used to smoke several times a day for about six years, until I finally got sick of being paranoid and looking toasted all the time. Unfortunately at that time I got into other drugs (opiates). Now I only use substances very rarely since I have proven to myself what happens when I let chemicals control me.

I find now that I don't WANT to use pot, as when I do I get SO DAMN HIGH that it's not fun.

Everyone has to use their personal barometer when it comes to this stuff, what's good for one may not be for another.
