Bump.

Wouldn't want this thread to get lost in the shuffle while you Google who Carl Sagan is.

Why do you start threads if you aren't interested in hearing from the opposition?

There is no doubt that this is true.

Yes, there is doubt. At least to those of us who read the literature on the subject.

There is NO DOUBT. As you grow older, you'll find that people that are stoners fall behind in everyday life, they do not get ahead and are for the most part sucking the small tit.

If I get popped for buying a little bag of weed, then my work might take interest in my habits at home. Also, I'm not looking to embarass my family by being in the arrest reports. Despite what I think, the law states it's illegal. Also, if I get offered a higher paying job that does test it's employees, I sure as hell am not going to have to turn it down based on the fact that I am going to fail a drug test. Once it's legal, I'll smoke. It will be legal at some point in the not so distant future. See Colorado for reasons why.

I think using infrequently is ok. It's the chronic use that stunts brain function. Props to you for putting the welfare of your family before the want to get high.

Carl Sagan...One in 300 million. Great point.

Wow, is that verified?

Ignore actual evidence in favor of sketchy anecdotal evidence. Gotcha.

I have easily 50+ articles I can pull from Endnote that would invalidate about half the stupid claims you've made in this thread. You clearly have no idea what you're talking about and it shows.


ETA: way more than half.

I have several friends that show me a different outcome. You keep reading articles and I'll look at everyday life and feel sorry for the fools that can not face the fact that chronic use of weed makes you less than you would be otherwise.

Right, I'm sure you do. Did they drink? Did they smoke cigarettes? Did they do hard drugs? Do they have genetic issues? In no way can you make a claim that weed and only weed is responsible for whatever detriments they have.

By the way, here is some more from Sagan:


quote:

I do not consider myself a religious person in the usual sense, but there is a religious aspect to some highs. The heightened sensitivity in all areas gives me a feeling of communion with my surroundings, both animate and inanimate. Sometimes a kind of existential perception of the absurd comes over me and I see with awful certainty the hypocrises and posturing of myself and my fellow men. And at other times, there is a different sense of the absurd, a playful and whimsical awareness. Both of these senses of the absurd can be communicated, and some of the most rewarding highs I’ve had have been in sharing talk and perceptions and humor. Cannabis brings us an awareness that we spend a lifetime being trained to overlook and forget and put out of our minds.
