Cannot be true, everyone knows rats are smarter than dope smokers. They get all they want and don’t need to drug up a female for sex.

Even pot-smokers have enemies.

I have had women make me depressed and irrational,

Even paranoid.

Pot is pretty inane.

“I know mariijuana can be bad too, but I have come to the conclusion there is no way it is as bad as alcohol. “

I think alcoholism is worse than occasional pot use.

In order of badness:

1. Serious Alcoholism
2. Heavy, regular pot use
3. Occasional pot use
4. Occasional, don’t get drunk drinking.

Actually (4) is no harm and can actually be beneficial to your health.

Whenever I post on these type threads, pot advocates note all the damage done by alcohol. But it’s not done by moderate alcohol consumption. It’s done by alcohol ABUSE.

I’d never defend alcohol ABUSE. It’s obviously destructive on so many levels.

But I will defend alcohol USE.

And oppose the use of pot. No benefits, nothing but drawbacks, and you never just take one hit. You smoke to get high. As opposed to alcohol; most drinkers I know (and most are Christians) have a beer or two at most at a time. They don’t get high and it’s not in the least bit comparable to those who smoke a few bowls every weekend. They get stupefied and long term they are worthless, unless they quit.

I always like to note I am not defending my drug of choice. I don’t drink at all. I don’t care for it, never have.

Not silly at all. How else do you think the researchers can get a legal supply of lab grade kickass smoke for free? You think maybe they only have enough for the rats???

“I have had women make me depressed and irrational,”

Well, as a general rule they are a blessing.

Can’t say that about pot. Pot’s effects are all negative.

A woman gave you birth. Your sister(s) played with you, cared for you, gave you joy. Your Grandma baked your Thanksgiving turkey, your aunts went to your school plays, your schoolteachers taught you to read, your neighbor took care of you when your mom was sick. . .

you know, I think women are probably a net positive to about the tenth power.

Killer 'contact buzz'? Makes more sense to me than anything else I've read about the study...

"Hello Officer! The smell? Why, yes, we're doing research into the effects of MJ on rats...All legal and above board..."

Well, perhaps not, but you don’t need a soul partner to appreciate the worth of women and girls. To say that they bum you out just like pot does is kind of a put down. Remember your Grandma!

Of course I didn’t know your Grandma, but, Grandmas in general are pretty beneficial.

I never said they bummed me out LoL

My Great Gramma rocked! So did Gramper

All I was saying is that lots of things can skew a persons perspective.

Hormones, Endorphins, emotions, what ever.

pot is pretty low on the list of nasty things

The problem with drugs and such is it is quick fix.

In the AM the problem is still there.
They can distort your perception of a problem and make you too complacent or to aggressive than you would normally be.

I often wonder about Zoloft, Proxac, and all the approved drugs

The very least that this tells me is that you should not smoke pot if you are experiencing anxiety.

Lower than some things, higher than others.

Hormones, endorphins, emotions, etc. are often good and also inescapable.

Pot is not.

I don't know why it's the case, but I haven't smoked it since I had that bad side effect.

I still think it should be decriminalized because as bad as drugs are, the war on some drugs is worse.
