HOW DOES MARIJUANA AFFECT THE BRAIN?
AKUDO EJELONU
Pot, weed, grass, ganja and skunk, are some of the common words used to describe the dried leaves drug known as marijuana. Marijuana is a cannabis plant that is "usually smoked or eaten to entice euphoria." (1). Throughout the years, there has been research on the negative and positive effects of marijuana on the human body and the brain. Marijuana is frequently beneficial to the treatment of AIDS, cancer, glaucoma, multiple sclerosis, and chronic pain. However, researchers such as Jacques-Joseph Moreau have been working to explain how marijuana has harmful affects on the functions of central nervous system and hinders the memory and movement of the user's brain. The focus of my web paper is how the chemicals in marijuana, specifically cannabinoids and THC have an effect on the memory and emotions of a person's central nervous system.
Marijuana impinges on the central nervous system by attaching to brain's neurons and interfering with normal communication between the neurons. These nerves respond by altering their initial behavior. For example, if a nerve is suppose to assist one in retrieving short-term memory, cannabinoids receptors make them do the opposite. So if one has to remember what he did five minutes ago, after smoking a high dose of marijuana, he has trouble. Marijuana plant contains 400 chemicals and 60 of them are cannabinoids, which are psychoactive compounds that are produced inside the body after cannabis is metabolized or is extorted from the cannabis plant. Cannabinoids is an active ingredient of marijuana. The most psychoactive cannabinoids chemical in marijuana that has the biggest impact on the brain is tetrahydrocannibol, or THC. THC is the main active ingredient in marijuana because it affects the brain by binding to and activating specific receptors, known as cannabinoid receptors. "These receptors control memory, thought, concentration, time and depth, and coordinated movement. THC also affects the production, release or re-uptake (a regulating mechanism) of various neurotransmitters."(2) Neurotransmitters are chemical messenger molecules that carry signals between neurons. Some of these affects are personality disturbances, depression and chronic anxiety. Psychiatrists who treat schizophrenic patient advice them to not use this drug because marijuana can trigger severe mental disturbances and cause a relapse.
When one's memory is affected by high dose of marijuana, short-term memory is the first to be triggered. Marijuana's damage to short-term memory occurs because THC alters the way in which information is processed by the hippocampus, a brain area responsible for memory formation. "One region of the brain that contains a lot of THC receptors is the hippocampus, which processes memory."(3) Hippocampus is the part of the brain that is important for memory, learning, and the integration of sensory experiences with emotions and motivation. It also converts information into short-term memory. "Because it is a steroid, THC acts on the hippocampus and inhibits memory retrieval."(4) THC also alters the way in which sensory information is interpreted. "When THC attaches to receptors in the hippocampus, it weakness the short-term memory,"(5) and damages the nerve cells by creating structural changes to the hippocampus region of the brain. When a user has a high dose of marijuana, new information does not register into their brain and this may be lost from memory and they are not able to retrieve new information for more than a few minutes. There is also a decrease in the activity of nerve cells.
There are two types of memory behavior that is affected by marijuana, recognition memory and free cells. Recognition memory is the ability to recognize correct words. Users can usually recognize words that they previous saw before smoking but claim to recognize words that they did not previously see before smoking. This mistake is known as memory intrusions. Memory intrusions are also the consequence of THC affecting the free cell of the brain. "Marijuana disrupts the ability to freely recall words from a list that has been presented to an intoxicated subject."(6) For example, if a list of vocabulary words presented to the intoxicated subject and few minutes later, they have to recall the words that were on the list. The only words that they remember are the last group of words and not the words that are in the beginning of the list. This is an initiation that their memory storage has been affected. "The absence of an effect at short term delay times indicates that cannabinodis did not impair the ability to perform the basic task, but instead produce a selective learning and/or memory deficit."(7) I did a study with two college students (Student A and Student B) who both smoke marijuana every other week. This particular study was done an hour before, while and after they were under the influence of the drug. Student A was watching television before she smoked marijuana, was asked which advertisement was splayed before the show started and she got four out of five of her answers correct. After this first section, she smoked a small dose of marijuana twice within an hour. Fifteen minutes after she smoked her last blunt, she continued her regular activity of watching sitcoms. When a commercial would come on, I would ask her simple questions like what happened before the show went to a commercial break. Her responses would be macro-answers about what was going on but when I asked her what the main character was wearing, she did not remember. This was ironic because the protagonist wore a bright yellow suit that my friend commenting on earlier when the show began ten minutes ago. Her short-term memory is weakening because she was only able to remember big picture information and not small picture. Though the results are interesting, I know that I would have had different response on someone else because it depends on how often the user smokes and if they have good memory prior to smoking weed.
Marijuana also impairs emotions. When smoking marijuana, the user may have uncontrollable laughter one minute and paranoia the next. This instant change in emotions has to do with the way that THC affects the brain's limbic system. The limbic system is another region of the brain that governs one's behavior and emotions. It also "coordinates activities between the visceral base-brain and the rest of the nervous system."(8) I am now going to use Students B to describe how emotions are affected by marijuana. Students B is an articulate and well spoken young woman who has a troublesome relationship with her best friends which gets her upset and tense up. But after she smoked one high dose weed, her body was relaxed however, she had trouble formulating her thoughts clearly and would talk in pieces and was jubilant. It has been researched that a person needs to have high dose of marijuana would be in the state of euphoria. High dose of marijuana is measured as "15mg of THC can cause increased heart rate, gross motor disturbances, and can lead to panic attacks."(9) Thankfully, Student A did not experience any of these extreme examples.
College students usually smoke marijuana because they are stressed over schoolwork and feel that marijuana can help them unwind. I have encountered marijuana smokers who are chilled and have no worries in the world but after the effect of the drug wears off, they're sometimes capable to tacking their problem or at the original state that they were in before the drug. The effects of happiness that marijuana usually cause to the user is not a lasting effect because even though a user smokes weed to get away from the troubles of his/her own life, they still have to face these problems after the effects of the drug wears-off. In a survey with college student, an organization called, parents: the Anti-Drug interviewed college students and found that "compared to the light users, heavy marijuana users made more errors and had more difficulty sustaining attention."(10) This was evident through my second experiment with Student B but not everyone who smoke high doses of marijuana experience the same affect.
The chemicals in marijuana bring cognitive impairment and troubles with learning for the user. "Smoking [marijuana] causes some changes in the brain that are like those caused but cocaine, heroin, and alcohol. Some researchers believe that has changes may put a person more at risk of becoming addicted to other drugs such a cocaine and heroin."(11) To prevent such harm, one must be cautious of their actions. Those who do not do drugs do not risk harm. So please the next day you light up, remember you that you central nervous system and brain will be at risk.

Comments made prior to 2007
I smoked pot straight now since I was 13 years old Im
25 now I smoke it everyday literally through a Bong. I do not smoke
well im at work but as soon as im off and for the remainder of the
evening till I end up going to bed I do smoke. Now I read your page
about the effects pot has on short term memory and brain function,
Since I started smoking pot my asthma has vanished my grades went up in
school my mind learns at quicker rates and my short term memory is far
from gone There isnt much I forget about, unless it is because of my
selective memory. Were the people that you tested on already marijuana
smokers and also there are diff things to be taken into consideration
when testing a substance for example the way it was grown marijuana has
to be grown with nutrients and fertalizers to become potent enough to
smoke for a high but when people use these fertilizers and such they
sometimes do not leech the foods out from the plants which could lead
to all kinds of bad side effects Im wondering if this kind of
inforamtion is taken into consideration when giving test subjects
marijuana to smoke or ingest.
I have no side effects other than a burnt out feeling after smoking all
nite, and in teh morning of course but no brain problems like teh ones
your website describes ... Chris, 7 July 2006
Yeah...i disagree on a lot of things that you have to say about this. Like for one some of the things you mentioned only happen while you're high, but after the high goes away those things do as well. Marijuana is not addicting like other hard drugs or alcohol. Also marijuana helps people with ADD, makes them focus better, and sometimes learn better. Sometimes when you smoke your nerves are more dull, but sometimes they can be more alive, so to speak. You need to know that everybody reacts to marijuana differently. So these test that your doing don't go for everybody. You need to let people know that or else thats kind of false information. Something that really got to me is when you were talking about how people do it to relax and get their mind of things and once the highs gone all the problems come back. Well once again everybody reacts differently to marijuana. A lot of people when there high talk a lot about there problems and life in general. What I'm getting at here is that while their high they can figure out there problems because being high brings you into a new type of world and you think about everything more carefully. It's like it opens up your brain and lets you think more into your thoughts and about whats going on. A lot of times they can solve their problems like that, especially when there is someone there with them to talk to. Marijuana also brings people together. I know someone who hated a bunch of people, but then one day ended up smoking with them. Next thing she knew, they were all the best of friends. I know a group of people and within that group you've got your "gangster" type, Punk type, goth type, preppy type, hick type, and the list just keeps going. All of them probably wouldn't even talk if it wasn't for marijuana bringing them together. I have a lot more to say but, I'm not going to because I have pretty much proved my point. Also marijuana brings the creativeness out in people. Some of the greatest authors, poets, music artist, painters, and so on, get their great ideas or create there masterpieces by being high.
P.S I would also like to add that I am a chronic user and I could remember your whole entire report on it. I also have excellent grades in school, in fact better than when I didn't smoke. I also would just like to add one more thing: You will not understand or ever be able to know how or what marijuana does to you unless you do it yourself. Trust me I once was all anti-marijuana and always said that it does all these bad things to you and blah blah blah. Well now I actually know how it really does make people feel because I have experienced it and everything there is in that type of world.
P.S.S I do agree with a few things that you had to say ... Jen, 9 November 2006
Hi, I really found this information very useful because it IS a misconvention among most of the college/university goers that marijuana increases concentration and increases the work capacity of an individual. I personally believe that it DOES increase the work capacity of the abuser to some extent, that's when the drug abuser is not in a "stoned" state of mind, but then too, what is at stake is the brain and central nervous system malfunctioning, which degrades the intellectual, job and social skills. So in my opinion, it's not a good deal ... Ankur Gupta, 25 February 2007
allright tell me something if you say a list of say 20-30 vocabulary words and you were asked to read them over, then you were asked say 5 minutes later to remember as many of those words as you can, do you really think you'll be able to do that? no i bet if you asked 100 people to do that that around 90% of them wouldnt be able to do it.
also riddle me this batman, how many people die each year from drunk driving accidents? now dont im pretty sure you've been drunk, and maybe once smoked pot in your life right? well which had a more sever affect the weed or the alcohol? yeah the alcohol!
im a stoner i will proudly say that. but if i have the choice between alcohol and weed i'd take weed anyday. i've driven high that isnt a problem. when im high i drive a little slower then normal and im lookin for the nearest 7-11.
weed isnt a drug it has no addictive characteristics what so ever!!! ciggaretes kill more people then alchol,guns,and pissed off husbands who come home early.
now weed doesnt lead to other drugs what so ever, i've been smokin the stuff everyday for the past 4 years and i have yet to even think about trying other drugs. if mother nature didnt want us to smoke it she wouldnt have put it here!
its as simple as that!! ... Reader on the web, 21 July 2007
Hello, I was told about this site as a friend of mine was completing a research paper. As I looked over it, there seems to be lots of misinformation involved, and my friend has abandoned this site. I wouldn't mind if you read through all of my message carefully. To start off, the following statement is not backed by any scientific evidence what so ever. "Marijuana impinges on the central nervous system by attaching to brain's neurons and interfering with normal communication between the neurons." This has been proven to be false on multiple occasions since the 1970's. Cannabinoids to not not impinge on the nervous system what so ever, this isn't lysergic acid we're dealing with. "Marijuana plant contains 400 chemicals and 60 of them are cannabinoids" This quote right here is misleading. Every plant is comprised of hundreds of chemicals. In fact, they're not even chemicals, they're just substances that comprise the plants' structure. Also, the majority of cannabinoids that are also found in cannabis are produced by the body naturally. Also regarding cannabinoid receptors. "These receptors control memory, thought, concentration, time and depth, and coordinated movement. THC also affects the production, release or re-uptake (a regulating mechanism) of various neurotransmitters." This is simply false, I do not know where this source came from. Your brain does not use cannabinoid receptors for memory, thought, or concentration. Next,saying that "When one's memory is affected by high dose of marijuana, short-term memory is the first to be triggered." is also blatantly false. Marijuana does not directly impact memory, but short term memory only when high off of THC or CBD is affected because the user may be 'distracted' if you will from the plant it self. Also, referring to a 'high dose' of marijuana is ridiculous. There is no such thing as a high dose of Cannabis because there is no possible way to overdose. It is strictly impossible. The most obnoxious quote that i've read from this site is, "Marijuana also impairs emotions. When smoking marijuana, the user may have uncontrollable laughter one minute and paranoia the next." I cannot believe that this would even be published. MARIJUANA DOES NOT CHANGE A USERS STATE OF MIND. PEOPLE CAN MAKE THE SAME RATIONAL DECISIONS AS THEY WOULD WHEN NOT USING THE PLANT. PERIOD. I am actually appalled by what I've read here, and I'm even more appalled by the sources you've used. Unlike true informational sites, you've only used web sources. That is completely absurd. If you look at any reasonable fact site about Cannabis you will see that the sources that are used are mainly from published books and factual citations. Please realize that much of what is on this web page is completely false and misleading. I wouldn't mind hearing a response soon to defend your case ... Spiros Thomas, 7 November 2007
Sometimes I get stressed out
Sometimes I get stressed out with life and have trouble controlling my temper with my kids. When I am stoned I'm more patient with them and my mood lightens. I gain a happy and "appreciative of life" perspective when high. I feel more sensitive to mine and others emotions and am able to perceive myself in a different perhaps even in a clearer way. Kind of like I'm on the outside looking in, when I'm sober it seems more like the other way around. As far as pot making me slow, lazy, forgetful and hungry, yes, yes it could, but it's not that difficult to override those effects simply by force of will. The more one smokes the easier it becomes to control ones self while stoned. It takes a little time to build up some resistance as with any controlled substance... Sure there are many other ways to snuff a short fuse, meditation, yoga, exercise, counting to ten doesn't work for me but pot is just as enjoyable. I love my drugs, and while I may be an addict, it can't be that bad if my sons second grade teacher is hounding me to put my son on a "low dosage" of speed to help him focus in class...
What do i do
You really thrilled me in your write-up. I think the use of Marijuana(weed) should be abolished entirely. I smoked this stuff about 2 days ago, ever since then i've not come to my normal sense. What do i do? I can't really concentrate like i use to. My mind is not always with me. I feel lost every moment i just need some help please.
Cannabis
OK first of all long term effects on smoking marijuana is unknown! speculations and testing is done, but when the mind and brain is individual to any human! testing of memory, abillity to coordinate is more or less useless.
Things you can do is test yourself! periodically!
why?
1. It increases brain power to do exercises only for the mind!
2. It gives you a direct picture of what is going on when you smoke and when youre not!
lumosity.com
yes i smoke weed! not everyday though! i like the "different" thoughts i get on some of the same subjects i wonder about in normal everyday life..! i just think a LOT more! and yeah! I do exercises when im high! bodybuilding! even swimming etc. but still the focus is different! then when im not high!
i have no sideeffects yet
statistical psychology theorist
Pot is...
If someone can explain to me why marijuana is bad for you, do so. The benefits from marijuana is ridiculous. By making it legal, our economy will flourish once again. Not really, but it will help us tremendously to reach that point. Netherlands has pot legalized and the usage amount teenagers is lower then the u.s. Did you know that George Washington and Ben Franklin grew pot plants? Why dont we just call our founding fathers losers and potheads because they grew pot plants.Did you know the earliest known woven fabric was of hemp, and over the centuries the plant was used for food, incense, cloth, rope, and much more. People say its addictive and it can be but why dont we just make coffee, tobacco, and opiates all illegal because they have been proven to be more addictive then marijuana.
P.S: For all the people who are against pot, try it once and see if you like it or not. It been proven to not be mentally addictive but it can be physically, but that's only achieved after long term use. Once you try it, you will understand that it is a great thing everyone should experience once in their lifetime.
Does weed lead to inner peace, or violence?
I was wondering, I'm sure many smokers would agree that weed makes you more laid back, opens your mind, peaceful, even expands philosophy and spirituality,,, I definitely thought that, and still do to some degree, but I'm pretty confused. If that were true really, really true, it should work pretty much all the time, but for many people it doesn't seem to help them be more peaceful really, so it is true that weed gives you peace sometimes and sometimes not. I'm thinking of all the gangbangers in the country, all the incredible amount of murders that have happened
and continue to happen in this country, more than war in Iraq, but we just forget about these others though, and these murders, most of the time, probably committed by people who have some THC in their bloodstream recently. I mean come on, you're not going to argue that most gangbangers are usually somewhat pothead? if not extremely, or at least smokes sometimes, that's part of the gang culture. What about that album "The Chronic"? I liked that album, but damn, the lyrics can be pretty violent, and they're all some major potheads rapping, and they're talking about killing a lot. This would be true for just about all the gangs in the country. Then of course, are the peace and nature loving hippies, or whatever, at the opposite extreme, the people who say it has helped them so much. There are artists, writers, musicians, revolutionaries, etc too. What if we look at history at the people who have had the greatest positive impacts on society,, some could be potheads, like B Marley, Lennon, etc,, but most probably not.
I used to think that weed was the greatest tool to finding peace and knowing ourselves, but then I think about also the many people, who are far more focused on peace and helping humanity, and they are people that I don't think did, or at least they probably don't at all now, smoke weed,, for example like Wayne Dyer, Deepak Chopra, Eckhart Tolle, etc, and many others like them, these people are all about expanding consciousness for humanity in a very positive way, but never promote drugs, in fact, quite the opposite.
My Boyfriend
My bf has a friend who is a pretty bad influence, but he looks up to him and stuff. So his friend gets high all the time and my bf always does it with him and I really hate it. His memory is really fucked up and he does things he won't normally do. He doesn't have good concentration at all like he plays video games and sucks at them when he's high. He's mean to mean too. He's looking for a job and since almost every job does testing nowadays he won't be able to. I'm seriously worried becuase weed is fucking up his life.
Im am really sorry, to hear
Im am really sorry, to hear that about your bf.
long term use
i smoked pot for over 20 years and im here to tell you , long term use of pot will fry your brain .
i meet people who know me from school and i got no idea who they are .one guy said we hung out everyday in middle school and i did not know his name or remeber any time i seen him before .
Weed
Honestly Weed is Not That Bad
ok now i see that there are
ok now i see that there are two sides eather you are for pot or you are against it eather way both sides are rong most people that are against it try to use the scientific infermation to back there thoughts up when 72% of all marijuana research is done by govermentaly corrupt people conduct the research witch no matter what they find they will say marijuana is bad but the other side people who are for it i mean come on thats like trying to say drinking doesnt do anything smoking isnt bad i mean come on marijuana is bad but that doesnt mean that the people who dont use it should act like they are better it depends on the person me i dont smoke i dont need it becaus life is ok but for some they need it for like examples pain it does help with pain i geus i wouldnt know but hey and marijuana every once in a wile is ok but day after day use or cronic users is not good i mean get help dude if u cant stop and acualy some marijuana users are very smart so dont make fun of them ok so no matter what side you are on dont be a dick and make fun of the other side becaus they may need it and you dont so dont critisize them and besides alot of these are just people reaching out becaus they dont have anyone els but the internet
No, marijuana is great.
No, marijuana is great. What's bad is your spelling. You been taking some hardcore drugs it looks like
Weed
First off, weed effects everyone differently. I myself smoke weed everyday and i have a B+ average in college right now. Now when people say that marijuana is bad for u when in reality its better for you then cigarettes. For example, a cigarette smoker smokes half a pack of ciggs every day. Pot smokers on the other hand wont have that many joint in one day. Second of all, making marijuana legal would improve our quality of life tremendously. Do you understand how many jobs will be available? We will know have more jail cells for the people who really need them. Not the people who were caught with marijuana. Remember when alcohol was illegal? Now look at it, its a widely acceptable drug. The only reason our public today is so against marijuana is because the government has it labeled as a DRUG. And to the many dumb Americans who don't know facts will believe them that it is HORRIBLE for you and makes you soooo Unmotivated. Take Amsterdam for example, Marijuana is legal AND it is pushed by the goverment to use it. They seem to be doing just fine over their. Now i am going to go enjoy a nice bowl if Cali Mist, PEACE
questions I don't think you'll answer
If we weren't meant to take cannabis into our body's, why do we have cannabinoid receptors to pick up the cannabinoids?
Is the marijuana that contains 400 chemicals grown with synthesized fertilizer or organic fertilizer?
Why is okay that you can provide marijuana for a study if you're condemning it's use?
What about the people that don't care about any of the effects of marijauna other than the effects that make them able to deal with the unspeakable pain they experience everyday?
How many chemicals are in my milk?
How many chemicals are in my water?
How many chemicals are in my soap?
How many chemicals are in my deodorant?
How many chemicals in marijauna are synthetic or laboratory born?
How much neuro-alteration from pot smoking is permanent?
What kind of effects do cannabinoids have on the rest of the brain or body?
YO I SMOKED DAT POTZZZ AND I
YO I SMOKED DAT POTZZZ AND I AM DA SMAFTEST. 420 ROFLCOPTERS!
LOL YOU KIDS REALLY NEED TO GET A LIFE AND FOR EVERYONE THAT SAYS MARIJUANA DOESN'T EFFECT YOUR BRAIN LOOK AT THE MILLIONS OF WORDS SPELLED WRONG FROM THESE POSTS. GOD, I SMOKE EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE BUT AFTER READING POSTS LIKE THIS IT MAKES ME NEVER WANT TO SMOKE AGAIN.
Finally someone makes sense!
I was wondering if there wouldn't be a single being who would say something that actually made complete sense on this matter. If “Bob” smokes every once in a while and managed to notice the language mistakes of the previous writers, some of them college students, maybe the answer is to do it like him, moderately, like everything else should be done in life with balance. However, whatever it is that you decide it’s a good option for you, just go ahead and do it, there’s no need to try to convince anyone “you are right”.
Marijuana does affect your brain and your behavior, you don’t need any scientific studies to back up this, just observe yourselves or read what you have written, if you manage to go one week without smoking. If you can’t do it, that tells you something too, doesn’t it?
Some really silly, absolutely clueless individual said it was not weed that made people spell words ”wrong”, it was the stupid language with all the stupid “grammer” rules that only dumb asses (like myself, and English is not even my native language) really care about. Yep! Go ahead; blame it on the poor old grammar. And he even claims that he was “sober” while he was writing his 5 line post with over 10 language mistakes, but I’m sure it has nothing to do with the fact he was probably high while he was supposed to be leaning the “stupid rules”. He should check out Portuguese, which is a truly complex language.
It’s never a matter of who is right and who is wrong. The point is what is right for YOU. Just make sure you are seeing things clearly and not fooling yourselves. If you say that you use a substance on an everyday basis for years and you truly believe you are not addicted than you are fooling yourself. If you are addicted to something, regardless of what it is, even chocolate, and you think this is not harmful for you, than you are fooling yourself. If you think saying that other substances, alcohol for instance, are worse than weed as a way of saying “weed is not bad”, than you are fooling yourself (or using the incorrect grammar) because when you say worse you are saying the first item of comparison is bad too, just not as bad.
There is correct and incorrect information everywhere, books, scientific research where everyone is trying to prove their own point; web pages, etc. It’s important to try and be informed, but always keep an analytical eye on everything you read and hear, draw your own conclusions and make your decisions. You might decide that even though Marijuana has negative effects you believe the benefits it brings YOU overtake the harmful effects; or that you know that it brings negative consequences, but you like it and you want to do it anyway; that’s fine too, just be prepared to live with the consequences and stop pushing others into making the same decision you made. If you want the freedom to make your own choices, shouldn’t everyone else have the same right to choose?
Its not the weed that makes
Its not the weed that makes people spell words wrong its our stupid language with all the stupid grammer rules that only dumb asses really care about!!!! theres probabley a few word spelled wrong and i know theres all kinds of grammer mistakes and guess what im totaly sober.
lottery
talking about whether smoking is bad or not at all is quite stupid. that's because in some cases it's quite safe and in other cases it's very dangerous. it depends on individual vulnerability associated with genetic makeup, age, doses, time span of usage etc. the correct question isn't whether mj is dangerous to one's physical & mental health but in what situation it is or how often it is.
I am a former heavy long-term (10 yrs) smoker. I used to smoke everyday, now I'm clear for 4 months and all I can say it's that mj has ruined my life. I have deep depression and TOTALLY destroyed cognitive abilities like memory or attention. I think about suicide everyday. so remember it can (but don't have to) happen to you. it's a f...ng lottery. I lost (sorry for my english, I'm a foreigner)
There is a high possibility
There is a high possibility you have other underlying issues that make you feel in this manner.
superhuman powers thanks to the ganja
ever since i started smoking pot i can jump twice as high, whistle three times louder, my hair grows whenever i tell it to, i have no hair on my feet cuz i told it to stop, i am three inches taller and longer, i can eat jalepeno pepers by the dozens, i can snort ice cream through my elbow, and i can look through wood doors with my super sonic eyes.
and english teachers hit on my friends
marijuana is for potheads and
marijuana is for potheads and low life losers. weed is a waste of money also. last but not least, dont do drugs!
wow someone is very stereotypical!!!
Really??? way to stereotype completely. Only low life losers and potheads smoke... for one I know plenty of people who smoke weed on occasion, so they would not be considered a pot head and yet they smoke. For second what about even our own president who has admitted to smoking before and is not against marijuana?? Is he and everyother person who has smoked a lowlife? I would considern a lowlife someone who doesnt want or care to do anything with them self or their life. Smoking marijuana does not effect the way you live your life, it is your own choices that will effect your life. You chose your additudes and your actions wether you are high or not your desicion effects you. Their are plenty of people who smoke that I am sure you had no idea that they did, teachers, doctors, nurses, managers.. people you would never think. People I have highly respected in my work place and are on their way to the top in their life from school and work, I have found that they smoke and that does not change my oppinion of them in anyway. I still have the high respect towards them and it has shown me that you can do what you want with your self no matter what the case!
WOW! You are arrogant, aren't you!
WOW! Way to stereotype a huge portion of the human race whom you have never met. I for one smoke weed, have done almost every day for the past year to 18 months. I don't smoke in work but I do when I am at home.
I am 24, I work as a reporting analyst for a telecoms company in the UK. I have a nice income, I own my house with my girlfriend of 5 years, and I drive a 04 BMW 316(I'm not a dick though, lol). In what way exactly am I a low life loser? All those words have individual meaning however when you put them all together they leave the 'real word world' and enter the world of slang. According to dictionary.com the definition of a Low life is "n. a low person; a repellent person" and the definition of a loser is, "a misfit, esp. someone who has never or seldom been successful at a job, personal relationship, etc". Remember people this would be a much better place if we took the time to understand one another instead of assuming the worst. It would also be better if we removed the monetary system, but hey, thats not gonna happen is it? ;)
Also before I go, as you so eagerly pointed out 'marijuana is for potheads', care to hazard a guess why they are called potheads in the first place? Its like saying cigarettes are for smokers.
Peace.
hey i dont really think that
hey i dont really think that way,you can always do the best in whatever you do,smoking weed is also something that you just have to know how to treat with it,i know many old people who are smoking weed from long time ago,and they are so successful with their job and life and everything..when you are high you can see the reality of everything and you can use all your senses so much better than normal times,and you think wiser and you can focus on what you are doing,and it's amazing when you see things better than normal people,and if you just smoke weed for a short period of time in your life and then quit it,you are already a very different person from who you used to be and from anyone around you because now you have learned how to see things and you are even the winner
Anti-weed *crying*
After reading this article and most of the comments. I have to say that most of the people on here who disagree with using MJ sound almost a little sad and pathetic One guy on here said he smoked for 10 years quit now and has chronic depression and thinks about suicide constintaly, Guy weed didnt do that to you, you have a chemical inbalance in your underdeveloped brain, weed has most likely been the reason you havent felt this way before. and for the comment on how the guy will never smoke again because of all the typos in these comments You are piece of shit who had nothing better to post than other people gramical errors please respond FA.G. there are many other things i would like to add to this stupid article but i guess id rather go satisfy my canibinoids.
peace
Dude
dude, you're calling some of the greatest people to have ever lived low life losers. It's people like you who are hated more that potheads. So get off your soapbox and quit judging people..You should realize that the government made pot illegal based on some accusations made by some jackass who had never toked in his life, based on bias information. You dont know anything until you light up a joint. I understand your ignorance, but know what your talking about before you go on about something like Mary Jane.
I have smoked weed everyday
I have smoked weed everyday for 3 years coming up to 4, sometimes i get short term memory loss but nothing major. Weed helps me write music, art and poetry. I didnt smoke weed much in high school i hated it. But after i left school the stress about finding a job and what not kicked in and i started smoking weed everyday. Started smoking bongs for a year and a half. ( i recommend not to ) and i noticed it was hard to breath ( probably cause im a heavy ciggerette smoker to ) and then i tried to quit smoking all together PPL SAY MARIJUANA IS NOT ADDICTIVE, but when u smoke bongs everday for a year and a half and then trying to quit u will notice u start to become sick when u dont have it ( its not only me all my friends are heavy weed smokers they get the same sickness as i do when i havent smoked ) but now i dont smoke bongs ne more only smoked joints and blunts and i noticed when i didnt have it for like a week or so i didnt feel sick. I didnt have ne breathing problems. SMOKE A J, TO KEEP THE DOCTOR AWAY!
Bad
Every day I smoked weed, nothing hapend, Till one day.
I smoked to many times in day *2*.
in other day in Morning I smoked 1 time and in night smoked 1 time.
After that, My brain got fu** up.
I Really don't know what hapend.
But I am deep in reality.
I see world in other way.
All is weard, I feel high all the time, now I don't smoke it.
This high is 3 day's, I don't know what to do.
yo
I been smoking weed since I was 12 yeah dats right 12 n it makes me feel good and alive at 1st I don't like it because when I think about something it keeps loopin in my head after that I just feel nice and good I don't no why they won't legalize it!!
In my opinion...lets look at the bigger picture.
I've read what the posters voiced. What concerns me, you argue about its efficacy, its science component and positive effects for using marijuana; how the author states its negative effects. There are several web pages and books in support of this plant. Let’s agree that there may be some positive effects from use. As some people use it for health reasons prescribed by their doctor while others use it illegally. Let’s view other factors.
For the non-prescripts, how do you support your habit? If you work or have a regular trust fund available to you, how much money - or the government's money - comes out of your pocket (or somebody else) to support your habit? Do you pay all your bills (and on time), or are you broke living paycheck to paycheck to support this habit? Or, do you borrow money you know you will never pay back to support this habit? What are your hobbies and interests? How does this affect your job? How often are drug test given and when tested how many lose their jobs once tch has been found in your system.
Let’s look at the bigger picture. From a relational view, how are your relationships with your family and friends (the non-dysfunctional ones)? Do you still have the same non-smoking friends as you may have had before this drug became a part of your living? What happened to your healthy friends? Do your friends consist of an aggregate group, who share in your belief to smoke pot or whatever name you want to call it? If you have children, do you smoke in front of them? Or even in tight quarters to smoke around them?
There are many more questions than what I have not been explored. There are similarities to the use of any form of drug that is used, whether it is alcohol, meth and marijuana to its consequences.
You are entitled to your opinions as I and the same as the author of this page. Maybe the author should have included not its science component; the relation. Be sure you look at the complete picture before judging the other party.
Weed is a crazy thing. It can
Weed is a crazy thing. It can either make like easier or it can really destroy your life. I'm a junior in college & I started out as a very occasional smoker, only once or twice a month.. Then it tuned weekly..then it turned into daily. And now basically all I do is go to clas then come home and get high with my room mates. I used to be a very good student, with great grades and attendance. Now my grades are pretty bad and I don't usually go to class unless I have to. Also, I was very outgoing before and now, even when I'm not high, I have social anxiety and a lower self esteem. My point is. There are some people who can smoke weed and lead a productive life and then there are those of us who can't. There's no problem trying weed out. Just figure out if its for you and if its not, be honest with yourself and get rid of the habit before its too late. And if you're worried about peer pressure or whatever, forget it. In ten years those people aren't gonna give a damn if you smoke weed. Live for yourself and nobody else, take care of yourself and prepare for the future!
Also I have decided that after this bad runs out I'm going to try to stop smoking or at least cut back and extreme amount! So wish me luck!
<3 blessings :)
Doctor!
Im 27 years old and live in Northern California. I have smoked weed off and on since I was 14. It is so plentiful here and with living next to Humboldt county I have smoked some of the strongest strains available. My intake was daily for years. Anywhere from 1 gram a day to 7 grams a day. I smoked out of bongs and I rolled blunts. Believe me when I tell you that your body will become dependant on THC when it is used in high doses. If your the type that smokes a bowl a day then this post is not for you. If your the type that smokes 2 plus blunts a day for a long period of time than this post might help if your trying to quit. Before quitting cold turkey tell your doctor you are planning on quitting. THC does effect your nervous system!! Hence the reson why peoplle have panic attacks and anxiety disorders when coming off of weed. This is more prevelant in hardcore chronic users than just the occasional tokers due to the amount of THC introduced to the system and the amount of time inbetween useage. Some things the doctor might prescribe are xanax and kolonopin to help with the anxiety and sleepless nights. Contrary to most peoples beliefs there is certain marijuana withdrawals when stopping after hard longterm use. Diarhea, anxiety, night sweats, tremors, just to name a few. Normally all but the nervous disorders pass within days but the nervous disorders can last indefinitly. If you do not have med insurance or like the hollistic approach than you can buy "5-HTP" pills from any drug store that will help alot with the anxiety/panic disorders. For the sleepless nights you can try a glass of red wine 30 mins before bed or if you dont drink or like red wine than buy melatonin pills from any drug store and take 30 mins before bed. Again, this post is geared toward the more chronic longterm user wanting to quit.
P.S. The confusion I see most commonly with marijuana use is the medicinal purposes vs recreational purposes. People that use it recreationally use the ecuse that its used for medicinal purposes to justify they're recreational use. Just remember the just like any prescribed drug your doctor gives that he/she feels the positives out weigh the negatives. For example an H.I.V patient prescribed marijuan because they can hold food down without it outweighs what possible nervous damage may or may not be caused by the usage. Not to mention prescribed marijuana is to be used as prescribed. Not smoke all day everyday!!
I hope that this helps who ever might read this and just remember that if you come accross this post when dealing with withdrawals just know it takes time and patients but eventually all will normalize again. Good luck!
Everyone is different.
This is simply the best comment on the page, "Some people can lead productive lives while smoking marijuana, and others cannot." I started smoking my Sophomore year in high school - maybe once a month. Now I smoke almost every day. I have the same grade point average as I did when I started smoking. I have a job. I run cross country, track, and I play soccer. I have a girlfriend. I love my friends. I love my parents. I love god. Obviously, marijuana has a different effect of every single person -. Count how many grammatical errors are in my post, and compare to the threads above.
What a bunch of propaganda,
What a bunch of propaganda, b/s and false facts. First of all God created Cannabis and second of all it is the only known cure for cancer. If you don't believe me do a little research on a man named Rick Simpson. And the reason you stole from people is because you let it take a hold of your life, obviously you have no self control which is not due to marijuana but due to your futile brain.
Do you even know why cannabis is illegal? Probably not because you obviously get your information from the government. Cannabis was made illegal because and I quote "Marijuana makes white women want to have interracial relations with black men." Bet you didn't know that did you? And anotherthing, probably one of you favorite presidents said "You know, it's a funny thing, every one of the bastards that are out for legalizing marijuana is Jewish. What the Christ is the matter with the Jews, Bob? What is the matter with them? I suppose it is because most of them are psychiatrists." - May 26, 1971 White House Tapes Released 3-2002
Yeah that was Tricky Dick Nixon.
And what about the industrial Hemp? Do you know anything about that? Probably not. Are you familiar with the term "Hemp for Victory"? Yes that's right the united States Government wanted farmers all across America to grow Hemp to support the troops during WWIII. Industrial Hemp has more than 200 uses, a few are paper, fuel and cloth. Did you know that George Washington and Adam Jefferson both grew Hemp and Cannabis and said make use of this plant and sow it everywhere? (And by the way, the man who invented Apple computers also smoked weed while creating Apple computers, as well as MLB pitcher Tim Lincecum from the SF Giants, Michael Phelps who won 8 GOLD MEDALS in the Olympics and the list goes on.)
I could go on for much longer but I think I'm just going to leave you with some quotes of some of the men who agreed with the use and cultivation of both the hemp and cannabis plant:
"Two of my favorite things are sitting on my front porch smoking a pipe of sweet hemp, and playing my Hohner harmonica."
- Abraham Lincoln (from a letter written by Lincoln during his presidency to the head of the Hohner Harmonica Company in Germany)
"Hemp is of first necessity to the wealth & protection of the country."
- Thomas Jefferson, U.S. President
"Make the most you can of the Indian Hemp seed and sow it everywhere."
- George Washington, U.S. President
"We shall, by and by, want a world of hemp more for our own consumption."
- John Adams, U.S. President
"Penalties against possession of a drug should not be more damaging to an individual than the use of the drug itself; and where they are, they should be changed. Nowhere is this more clear than in the laws against possession of marihuana in private for personal use... Therefore, I support legislation amending Federal law to eliminate all Federal criminal penalties for the possession of up to one ounce of marihuana."
- Jimmy Carter, U.S. President
"The illegality of cannabis is outrageous, an impediment to full utilization of a drug which helps produce the serenity and insight, sensitivity and fellowship so desperately needed in this increasingly mad and dangerous world." - Carl Sagan, renown scientist, astronomer, astrochemist, author and TV host
"Why use up the forests which were centuries in the making and the mines which required ages to lay down, if we can get the equivalent of forest and mineral products in the annual growth of the hemp fields?"
- Henry Ford, whose first Model-T was constructed from hemp fibers and built to run on hemp gasoline
"Prohibition... goes beyond the bound of reason in that it attempts to control a man's appetite by legislation and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. A prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded"
-Abraham Lincoln
"The prestige of government has undoubtedly been lowered considerably by the prohibition law. For nothing is more destructive of respect for the government and the law of the land than passing laws which cannot be enforced. It is an open secret that the dangerous increase of crime in this country is closely connected with this."
- Albert Einstein quote on Hemp
Well hopefully you now realize that Hemp and Marijuana are not bad (besides that marijuana gives you a higher rate of having Bronchitis when you're older) but can be used to stimulate our economy and even cure diseases.
One Love & Jah Bless.
Hey Where did you get all
Hey
Where did you get all your quotes and facts? I would like to look more into this, I knew about Hemp being used for paper and rope, I also heard that it was outlawed due to the fact the hemp industry would have killed the (whatever they made rope out of back then) industry. Im not sure the validity of that though.
when I smoked pot I was
when I smoked pot I was better. My therapist said it made me normal, she said when I came in an I had not been smoking I did not seem normal, and when I was in college all my work was done while I was smoked up and I made's A's and B's I live in a lot of pain every day and if my pain clinic allowed I would smoke it today for it is a very good pain medication.
Pot Heads
To: Pot Heads
I think the folks who post on here highlighting how they are proud to be chronic smokers, are in some serious denial. I am a psychologist and addiction therapist working in the field for years. What I've seen over and over and over again is that pot is an addiction. And pot heads are deluded thinking there are no negative affects on their lives from smoking. In fact, Pot Heads are often times dumb and lazy and unmotivated and exhibit various forms of mental illness; and have a hard time showing up in their own lives, ie consequences of smoking pot. People seeking treatment to stop smoking have an Extremly Difficult time getting clean because substances in pot are ADDICTIVE just like all the other mind mood altering chemicals. THC is addictive. Rather it be physically, emotionally, and/or mentally, it doesn't matter. Ask any pot head to stop smoking and they will tell you how hard it is. Oh, I don't mean not using for a day or a week or a month, I mean Staying Stopped. A drug is a drug is a drug. Track a pot head in his/her life and anyone with a brain will see the negative impact of their using, especially on memory, ability to learn, interpersonal relationships, their goals, their lung health, their cognitive problems, etc. Yes, I agree pot heads think they benifit from somking because often they use pot to address disabilities/disorders they have, such as symptoms of ADHD, Anxiety, Social fears, and other issues associated with their ability to function in a healhy way. Any normal healthy person doesn't need to (get high) use a drug to function! Smoking doesn't fix the problem(s), it only masks things and eventually everything gets worse. Getting clean and dealing with mental health problems with healthy methods is the solution. All you pot heads out there in denail land will one day wake up and realize how you have wasted so many years being unproductive, lost, and screwed up. And please stop comparting pot to other drugs, who cares what the others ones do or don't do. This is just another way of your justifying your addiction. The only way to be authentic, healthy, whole, happy, and to have peace in this life, is to be true to yourself without distructive chemicals and/or behaviors. Get Clean!
You may be a psychologist in
You may be a psychologist in the making but I do not believe you are a psychologist yet, more like a student. Your post lacks a certain professionalism such as referring to people who smoke grass as potheads. Yes it is a perfectly acceptable term, but from a psychologist when addressing said people about the negative effects, I don't think so, there were a few other things I noticed that didn't fit either bt that was the most obvious. Also yes there are negative affects, there are also positive ones. If the individual is aware of both they can make an informed decision.
People like you are why most
People like you are why most people are loosing respect for the doctorate. You are biased in your opinions.
I agree with in the the fact
I agree with in the the fact that weed is bad for you and may even be phycologicaly addictive but you can become phycologicaly addicted to anything, for example wearing a neclace the whole exprestion i feel naked without it but the feeling goes away reletivly quick. In this aspect you have never herd of any man sucking dick for weed. This can also be benifital to people with disablitys. I am i expothead all through high school i smoked i had anxiety and was dignosed with PTSD. An now im a sophomore at kettering university witch is one of the best enginering schools in the world. I still have good grades and stoped smoking no problem because im in a dorm so i belive the phycological addiction can be broken relitily easy.
Dope,to me cause Happiness

Marijuana is the most horrible thing ever!
I don't even know why marijuana was created... How and why would something so harmful and useless be created. It must have been created by the devil. Marijuana kills! One time I smoked marijuana and I died! Marijuana makes people want to kill other people, use needles, and sleep with black guys. If you smoke marijuana you will die from overdose. It is better to drink alcohol and smoke cigarettes like an American, than to smoke marijuana like something that is not American. People that use marijuana should be put on death row and await execution. Schools should teach our children that marijuana is the worst drug known to the human race. I will be so glad whenever all of the pot heads are dead. LOL, By the way, I got some bad ass Hindu kush right meow. Killer buds!
LOl Hated it then loved it
LOl Hated it then loved it lol :)
Marijuana
Marijuana is the subject of endless scrutiny and debate. Many people believe it is bad for reasons that are understandable, and many believe it is good for reasons that are understandable. I have been smoking weed since i was sixteen, I'm eighteen now, and the course of my life has changed. For better or worse is apparently for others to judge, and not for me to say. I believe that marijuana is a great tool, and tools can be good or bad depending on who uses them. If used moderately and responsibly, it can be beneficial to you, but if abused, it can be a disaster for you and all those around you. Marijuana effects us all differently and its effects can never be pinpointed. My advice on the subject is live and let live. If you don't smoke marijuana, be responsible, if you do smoke marijuana, be responsible. Hold yourself to a set of values that is constructive to humanity, and don't try to make the world into your vision.
One Love
Start saying "Cannabis" instead
I think people should stop using the term "marijuana" and start using "Cannabis". Marijuana is a term used back in the day (especially 1930's) to scare people away from it(Propaganda).
I have never read a more
I have never read a more stupid list of comments, such as, "It isn't as hard on your lungs as ciggs" and "there is no long term damage to smoking pot"... Smoking one joint the size of a cigg is 5 times as dirty as a cigg. Think about the bong water and how disgusting it is. And can anyone tell me the biological half life of marijuana??? Hmmmmm, well it's 8 days. Stop and think about that one. (Unless you stoners haven't made it that far in school to know what that term means.)
Different effects for different people
I've been reading through all of these replies, and some of these people are just ignorant. For myself, smoking marijuana curbs my anxiety, gives me more patience with my kids, helped me concentrate in college to graduate with highest honors, and helps me work through my problems by aiding with meditation and yoga.
I have been smoking everyday for 16 years, and the only people who know are the people I choose to tell. Even my own boyfriend can't tell the difference in me being high or sober other than the fact that I deal with life and people in a calm manner when high. I've been open with my kids about it. I don't avoid people to hide it. I don't just sit on my butt and eat and watch tv. I maintain a clean household, I work out every single day, and have an energy level like no other, I am a single mother of 3, all 3 of my kids are straight A students who never miss a day of school, and I am always the Go-To girl when someone needs something or just needs a shoulder to cry on. Oh and I NEVER miss work, where by the way, I happen to be the most hard-working employee.
There are, however, people who can't handle smoking weed, and those are the people who make it bad for everyone. I had a boyfriend at one time who smoked constantly. He would become lazy and very stupid when he smoked. He couldn't or should I say, wouldn't hold down a job, or clean out to get a good one. This caused problems. If you can't handle it in a productive way, then you shouldn't use it. Period. Just like alcohol. I cannot seem to cut myself off when I drink, so being a smart person, I choose to not ever drink. Same principle should go for weed.
Most anti-weed people either A. have never smoked before or B. are so stuck on the fact that it's illegal and lumped into the same category as other more harmful drugs to look at it in a less stereotypical way. I am in no way saying that they are wrong for thinking the way they do because everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and that's okay, but before they bash on those of us who are fully functioning smokers, they should really get their facts straight, and understand that it does effect people differently. We are so big on not being stereotypical when it comes to race or sex, so why not this?
Oh, and if you are on here defending weed, it would be wise and more productive to our cause if you didn't come off sounding unintelligent. There are quite a few replies on here where the people just sound plain stupid. You are the people who can't use it in a mature way, so you probably shouldn't be smoking.
Please
Hi to all you smokers! Well there are two sides to every story. As I read through all your excuses and no reason I wonder what your point is. Show me statistics on the purpose of smoking. I have saw many excuses and no logic or education behind your stories. Its time to come out of your imaginary world and start to be a little bit realistic!!!!! Yeah sure you do better in school. What school? High School? A twelve year old can do that! Pot smokers always have some rediculus excuse as to why you should smoke. There are to many educated reasons not to smoke. So when you reach an education level and can put some realism behind it then hey prove me wrong. Until then you are wrong and short term!
You need to watch "The Union:
You need to watch "The Union: The business behind getting high" and that will answer the a lot of your misconceptions about cannabis.
I agree! "The Union: The business behind getting high"
For Marijuana or against it should watch this documentary. Its been one of the best films I've seen this year! I would really like to see the looks on peoples faces when they watch this and realize how much they don't know about Marijuana. You can really learn about the history of it and maybe look at each side. Cheers to both sides! I enjoy reading all these comments on this topic! End the prohibition of Marijuana. Remember the prohibition of alcohol in the 1920s? Pretty sure that didn't last.
Put your bias away, thanks.
Hello critical non-smoker,
Your beginning statement is valid in that there ARE always two sides to the story.
For one, I don't believe that you are in any position to criticize us smokers and insult our intelligence. Not only do you have improper grammar ("I have saw"? I believe you meant "I have seen")and incorrect and excessive use of punctuation (i.e., your 5 exclamation points), your comment shows your extreme bias and dislike for those who use marijuana.
"Pot smokers always have some rediculus excuse as to why you should smoke. There are to many educated reasons not to smoke. So when you reach an education level and can put some realism behind it then hey prove me wrong. Until then you are wrong and short term!" What do you even mean by 'short term'? I take great offense to this, not only because you are insulting my intelligence for merely using marijuana, you are putting me as less than you. There is no need for condescending comments here. I smoke marijuana, and have for the past year and a half to two years, and I happen to be very intelligent. I am 15 years old, and in the IB programme. I doubt you know what that is, so maybe you should look it up. I think the fact that I am in IB is enough proof to suggest that all marijuana smokers are NOT dumb/lazy/unmotivated/etc. Marijuana helps me to release stress, and without it I probably wouldn't be able to stay in such a rigorous school program. Next time you want to insult someones intelligence for something as small as smoking marijuana, maybe you should take a look at yourself and see if you're even in the position to talk.
