Ok guys, you know what, you win. I'm going to pretend like you know what you're talking about and concede victory to you both. Never mind the fact that you have no actual research to support your claims, are using anecdotal evidence, and extremely weak arguments such as "pot made me lazy," WHICH ISN'T TRUE IN THE SLIGHTEST YOU LAZY FUCK!

Ahem, sorry. I'll just continue on with my life as if we never had this conversation, and you two can go back to living your lives as masters of being full of shit. Deal? K. Carry on!

Really man? This is a tad drastic/dramatic, don't you think?

The fact of the matter is that pot makes you over analyse everything whilst having a somewhat distorted perception of reality. For someone who is depressed or anxious or having some form of mental episode, this can be disastrous.

You know there are different types with different active ingredients and different effects, right?

I smoke pot ocassionally. Sometimes I enjoy it or I do not. I smoked a j sometime last weak and expirienced just about every feeling and emotion possible after about an hour of a good high. It really sucked. I was thrilled when I came down.

 

[viewerfromnihil]

I like smoking pot occasionally, but I can't stand doing it on a regular basis. It definitely puts a damper on intellectual perception. I used to think that it gave me insight into various topics, but the "insight" that it gave me wasn't useful in the least.

Pumping myself up for tomorrow's concert in Chicago. I'll be seeing the mighty Dead Can Dance in beautiful Millennium Park.

Pot always gives me a sorta David Lynch vibe.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

I generally feel disturbed, confused, and horrified when I watch a Lynch movie. That is not something I'd like to experience without there being a movie to help me.

 

[Zephyrus]

So it's becoming evident that depression and anxiety have been the effect, not the cause, of my concentration and memory issues. I still think that there's a trend of decline in my attention span in direct proportion to my pot usage over the past 6 months (perhaps the stuff really did have that effect on me, too bad), and my new theory is that it's some form of severe ADD. I've stopped the antidepressants and will be seeing the psychiatrist tomorrow to restrategize. There is medicine for ADD, and perhaps that will help, since I don't have problems with motivation, only frustration in my utter inability to focus and think deeply and complexly in the past few weeks. It's not something I'll just snap out of, and I need to retrain my brain to synch back with reality.

Then again, this could all be wishful thinking to fool myself into thinking there's a clear solution to this issue. I just want my mind back and to be able to learn things the way I used to.

Dead Can Dance! Super jealous. Have fun.

I'm kinda in denial but regular herb usage has made me SO STUPID and forgetting all sorts of things I'd normally know.

 

[PhlegethonVeins]

^ these are things I see and hear all the time regarding use. Avid supporters always seem to dust it to the side however. Studies fly both ways, and most of them are done with a certain agenda in mind, and in much to small of a scale for me to take them seriously over what I have witnessed.

That said, I do believe it should be legal...I just feel a lot of its supporters lose credibility with some of the claims they tote around.

pissed I miss them live in Los Angeles. Oh well.

 

[Vimana]

I won't be able to see them in NYC because I'm in Puerto Rico. I'm not one for live music anyway. I'll just keep telling myself that.

I saw my mother drunk for the first time ever today. She drank some coconut sangria a little too quickly. She was very giggly, so I gave her a little sobriety test. The one where you touch your thumb to each of your other fingers in order, counting, then doing it backwards and counting backwards. It took her about four tries, including one where she thought she got it right until I told her she said "one, three, two, four."

Next Wednesday is my date with destiny; i.e. getting braces put on again. fml

This will certainly hamper my broad bagging game but oh well.

 

[ASD]

^ Damn, what'd you do to deserve that?

If it's one of those "i didnt wear my retainer enough" stories, I definitely gotta stop being lazy with mine.

 

[The Ozzman]

Stop eating so much dick and maybe that won't happen next time

 

[Dak]

I bet it's another "my tongue ring messed them up" story...

 

[King Richard]

That was part of it. I had braces when I was in middle school, I think 7th grade and had them until freshman year. I wore my retainer all throughout high school but once I graduated I enlisted and wasn't allowed to wear it, then my wisdom teeth finally grew in all the way and my shit got all out of alignment. I've just been too much of a cheapskate and lazy to go back and get them put but I recently had all of my wisdom teeth removed and all my fillings done and shit so it's as good a time as ever to get it over with.

You definitely need to wear your retainer man, you'll kick yourself later like me for not wearing it.

edit: Fuck you two.

 

[unknown]

I definitely echo Rick's second point. Having had braces twice, it sucks. It didn't really hamper my lady game though.

I know have a mouth guard because I apparently grind my teeth at night, and I use that as my retainer. It's weird because now I don't feel right if I go to bed not wearing it

 

[Master_Yoda77]

I haven't worn my retainer since like freshman year of high school and my teeth haven't changed. I mean, my teeth are stained from excessive soda/beer intake, but they are straight.

Teeth don't really bother me as long as they are clean. I met a girl in England who's teeth were all fucked up and I would have plowed her left, right, and sideways.

 

[ASD]

Well, when you're in England bad teeth are a given AMIRITE?!
