All of them. It makes you stupid (sure, if you ignore all the successful gold medal winners, Republican politicians and businessmen, etc. that use it). It makes you lazy (again, only when you ignore the successful folk that use it).

You mean that some people have a sort of natural immunity to the effects. This does not make the general case wrong, it just means that some are not susceptible.

For quite a lot of people, stupid and lazy are exactly what it does to them. I don't consider that a false claim at all, in fact that is exactly what I have observed of all the pot smokers I know.

You and I have gone rounds on this. You insist on basing your opinion of MJ on lies and propaganda.

Lies and propaganda? You mean what I have seen and continue to see with my own eyes?

This one guy whom i've known for some years just got stopped for speeding at night with a broken tail light. He was driving under a suspended license. (Already had two other court cases for this same offense in the last six months.) He had 60 grams of weed, and is now going to end up in Prison. He's 21.

I have repeatedly told this guy to STOP BEING STUPID. When he got stopped the first time for driving without a license, he had insisted on driving a "Ghetto cruiser" old school Cadillac with 20" rims. I told him that car was a magnet for cop eyes, and he ought not drive it if he was going to be smoking/dealing weed.

He did it anyway, and got pulled over, and was then discovered to have been driving under a suspended license. On the way to appear in court for this offense, he once again insisted on driving this same "Ghetto Cruiser" (Instead of letting his girlfriend drive. She had a clean license. ) and got stopped by the exact same cop who stopped him before.

Now he has two driving under suspension charges. (And believe me, i'm shortening up the list of his bone headed and stupid encounters with law enforcement that were utterly preventable.)

So this weekend, he decides to go speeding with a broken tail light at the exact time of night cops are always looking for drunks (Late Saturday night) and he catches one.

No, there are no lies or propaganda involved. Weed does indeed make people stupid and lazy. This characteristic applies to everyone I know personally who smokes weed.

Sure, that's what causes the problem. Couldn't have anything to do with the fact that your buddy is a class one idiot (you really need to find better friends). Like this one time, a gun jumped up and put itself in someones hand and started shooting other people. It's definitely the gun and has absolutely nothing to do with the dumbass behind the trigger, right?
