to smoke yourself retarded?
i just got done having a conversation with this guy who thinks theres a robot conspiracy and that he saw an actual transformer. he said it was like a yellow muscle car and that it turned into this huge 50 foot robot. i told him "yeah, thats bumblebee. you saw it in the movie dude." then he got all pissed and said i was naieve about reality and how the world works....WTF?
i smoked weed for 2 years and recently stopped. my freinds and i used to come up with crazy theory shit like this too when we got high...but NEVER did i believe it or think there were government robots out after me or something.
thoughts/experiences?

smoking weed on a regular basis = brain fade
smoking weed occasionally = not as bad but still not good, the older you are the worse it is i think
its all down to personal experiences, if you think you have pushed it too far, LISTEN and do something about it. you are the best judge and your first instinct is usually the right one

the only people who tell you smoking weed is good for you is people who smoke it themselves. i dont see any benefit whatsoever other than when you are actually smoking it. just like drinking. you get a high, then end up lower than you were to start with...

It wouldn't make you trip out like that, no. It will **** your head up though. Used to smoke loads back in the day. Have been off it for years now but still paying for it. :(

It's worse for teenagers, i know that, because their brains are still developing up until a certain age. So yeh, worse for teenagers not so sure bout under 25's. I never smoked it on a daily basis (usually weekly on and off) but it's hard to say whether or not it's had an effect cos i smoked it whilst in that age bracket and could have turned out the way i am now anyway. Who knows.
I've never had conspiracy theories about governments and robots though. Me thinks your friend was smoking a whole lot more than weed. I'd say straight up horse shit.
I wouldn't say it makes you retarded either, it affects you're memory and motor skills, but i don't feel stupider through smoking. Just as knowledgeable as ever.... so still thick as fook

Well yeah i saw a solid documentation on 60 Minutes about weed, it affects teenagers brains alot worse than adults because the brain is still developing.
I also heard somewhere that it's 4 time as carcinogenic than nicotine. Not sure if that ones correct though.
Personally i've never smoked weed and i don't plan on it either, definitely not into drugs, i'd rather keep my brain in top shape.

Main way it messed me up was paranoia. Short term memory did take a bash as well though. I was smoking 1/8 - 1/4 of skunk a day mind. Not advisable. Young and stupid. :(.

ive probably smoked weed twice and personally id rather get pissed, its not as good as being pissed IMO..
but anyway, my friend of whom i used to see quite a bit smokes green everyday he can and he is a completely different person. his reaction times are not what they used to be and his mind seems to wander.. personally i dont hink its worth it seeing as you muck up your brain and you get a reputation of bein a wreck head.
so my overall message is, Dont smoke weed, Get really pissed.

I don't think that's really the answer. :P I know a few people who have developed SERIOUS drink problems over the years and they're far worse off than any heavy cainers I know!
That said, I like a drink. Is all about moderation though, as with most things!
I've posted this before but it's an interesting chart. It shows the harm rating or certain drugs. Might surprise you!

The smoke is supposed to be yeh, but that's obviously taken out of the equation if you munch it.
To add to Bulby's post, just for the sake of it really:

aclohol n smokin are drugs
personally av never done drugs n never smoked
simple as anyfin drugs kill, smokin kills, acohol can kill
they wudnt warn you or make it illegal if they couldnt harm you
i know so many people who do weed every day and they are seriously messed up!
stupidest thing is they get emselves into so many fights but have such slow reaction times its stupid!
spose its your choice, tbh everyone knows the risks!

I would imagine you'd have a hard time smoking yourself 'retarded'. But yes, it will start to have a negative effect on your brain and you will probably lose intelligence, or speed of thoughts.

ecstacy is less harmful than weed? what about the whole dehydration and jaw-clenching thing?
