Heavy users performed worse on 69% of the 35 tasks than light users, though their performances were not "clinically abnormal," the researchers found.So, I would imagine that this means that the Super Fiends performed better on 31% of the tasks?

I have smoked pot since I was 12. I have known a LOT of "Stoners" and even more regular smokers (Like me). During college in the 80's, I saw more drugs and was around more drug abusers than anyone I know.
That being said...
I have NEVER known ANYONE to smoke THIRTEEN FREAKING JOINTS A DAY ON AVERAGE!!!
Yeah, I have seen people (Including myself) smoke 13 joints in a day (Actually, that's not even true...The joints were shared so the total amount of jointage is considerably less) but nothing even CLOSE to an average of 13 joints a day.
Now...Maybe back in the 70's and before, people regularly did this because the pot was about as potent as an aspirin, but since the introduction of high THC pot (Early 80's), NO ONE is smoking 13 a day. Hell, even 11 a week is a LOT!!
This study is a joke.

The Evidence
To: Libloather
I had to cut down on my pot use in law school to the bare minimum, and in fact thereafter. Quite annoying, but it really did impair performance. Really. And even after "recovery" things were sort of sluggish. Really. Frankly, you can't read a paragraph when stoned and remember the beginning by the time you get to the end. About the only thing I could do in that state was math problems (and one doesn't do math problems in law school). Odd.

The article speaks of those who are "very heavy" smokers. Not "average smokers," not "heavy smokers," but "very heavy smokers."
Jah, mon, I and I ask your iree Rastaman abou' dis.

"I've never ONCE called Liberteens - mice..."
And I've never called conservatives simpleton morons. So what's your point?
I assume you have access to cans of hair spray. Do you sniff it everyday just because you could if you wanted too? Apparently you guys believe no one has any self control at all, so therefore there should be a law against anything that some stupid arse might shove up his nose. Therefore we should ban Chlorox, amonia, sleeping pills, carrots, peas, aspirin - in fact anything and everything that can be abused.

Is marijuana addictive? Are there any withdrawl problems going cold turkey? Is it easier to quit than smoking?
To: Johnny Shear
Johnny, how old are you?
I smoked the evolution of pot myself personally. From sh!tty Mex brick weed in 1971 to good Colombian and Jamaican that started coming around in 1973/74....then it was Oxacan foxtail/wife beater long lime green buds (not too shabby) around 1975/76 and then the grand arrival of the first SENSE around summer of 1977 and onwards....sticky skunk bud. I remember my first sensemilla joint....it got 4 or 5 folks buzzed and it lasted longer than usual.
Yes indeed, there was decent pot around in the 70s my man...and lots of black hash as well and honey or red hash oil too. All very very stone-worthy. There was always lots of seedless Thai around as well.
No doubt that hydro pot today has reached esoteric dimensions but good skunk and even good sativa was avaliable as early as the mid 70s.
I gave it up around 82 or 83....life got in the way but i still take a peek at my little brother's weed from time to time. It's great but not exponentially better.

450 pound bales of marijuana, when placed on people, cause difficulty breathing and may lead to death.
To: Bob Quixote
They should give a medal to anyone whose lungs could stand 13 joints a day! I know someone who should get a medal then. It really isn't that difficult if you start when you first wake-up in the morning and keep going until you go to sleep at night.

This article belongs in the "Duh!" category. Excessive eating causes obesity. Excessive promiscuity leads to STD's. Excessive drinking of alcohol leads to liver problems. Excessive spending leads to bankrupcy. Excessive smoking leads to emphysema.
I'm not ripping on you for posting this Libloather but this is a really stupid article.

The only "withdrawal" is mental. You get used to being stoned all day or every night then you will miss it when you're dry....at least I did.
It was rather easy to quit voluntarily when I felt like that phase of limited responsibility in my life had passed but I can rememeber those dry summer months when last years harvest was dwindling and the next autumn one was not yet here and we would go on full alert to procure.

Could be extensive pot use accounts for the very slow learning curve of the Democrats.
