"There are some people who should never indulge. "

Based on my own experience, that's everyone. I was one of the first in my highschool to try it & the first to stop. After the first few experiences, which were very pleasant, being stoned turned into horrific, paranoid self-persecution. I recall being extremely sensitive to people's moods, also frightening.

Anybody have a similar experience? The paranoia I experienced then makes me wonder if these researchers aren't onto something.

Someone told me the stuff kids now smoke is 10 times the potency of what we were on. Scary.

I thought that the paranoia sometimes experienced, while under the influence, was a temporary effect of the drug.

If you gave me a research grant, I could tell you that pot makes you paranoid. That's not a secret.

The question is whether or not the effect is permanent.

If smoking pot makes you permanently paranoid, I make have a problem :-)

The hallucinogenic properties of marijuana...

That must be the expensive stuff cause I don't know one person who has had an hallucination smoking the weed we have here.
