Potheads either smoke marijuana since they have a low IQ, or have a low IQ since they smoke marijuana :v:

oh and the patronizing tone you seem to bring everywhere (it doesn't make your point any more credible bro)[/QUOTE]
Wow so brave.
You seem incapable of recognizing sarcasm so continue your diatribe. I'm laughing at how upset you are.
I do really try to get around 5 hours a night but I was kidding about him being lazy because he was bragging about his healthy habits.
[quote=Bobie] enjoy your shortened lifespan anyway lol[/quote]
You sound like such a tool.
Humans have been smoking it for a loooooooong ass time, if it was really that bad I think we would have stopped a while ago.

What kind of argument is that?

low iq = smoke weed
smoke weed = low iq
ur science contradicts itself!!
Not to mention the fact that people with higher iqs tend to have a higher chance of engaging in drug and alcohol abuse.

Human beings have been smoking cannabis for thousands of years.. If it was really bad and deadly we wouldn't even have used it, or do it now
[QUOTE=Tophat;37684436]I was exaggerating in case you couldn't tell. I know people 20+ who didn't know that. It is not common knowledge, or at least definitely not where I live (Ontario, Canada).[/QUOTE]
Then you must be in a dumb part of this province then, it's common knowledge that doing shit like that while your brain and body are still developing is bad around here.

Haha wow, that is such an incredibly naive thing to say.
But honestly, so what if weed is unhealthy for you a lot of vices are unhealthy and that doesn't stop people.
I honestly think (and the study doesn't dispute me when I say this) that if you decide to light up once or twice a month, you will be fine. It really is a matter of how hard you go at it, and if you do it like a moron or not. Me, I might smoke one spliff a month or so. IQ of ~135 avg., ~125 math, and 145 reading. I get tested almost every year, and there has never been a decrease. Possibly even an increase. True, this probably doesn't hold true for everyone, but telling people that smoking one blunt/joint/bowl/spliff/whatever, once or twice a month is going to cause them to be mentally retarded, get testicle cancer is stupid.
Wasn't the one done on teenagers not properly conrolled, since the marijuana use was decided by the kids they tested, not chosen randomly? So it shows a [I]correlation[/I] between pot use and lower IQ, which could also mean that kids who are dumber are more likely to smoke pot. So we need more research in this subject.
But you know, kids shouldn't use any mind altering substance since their brains are still developing.
As for the other two, pot is already known to be bad for schizophrenia, and it looks like it increases your risk for testicular cancer.
So basically, doing drugs, especially as a teenager, actually has some downsides? Stop. The. Fucking. Presses.
[QUOTE=Strider*;37693360]Not to mention the fact that people with higher iqs tend to have a higher chance of engaging in drug and alcohol abuse.[/QUOTE]
Where did you get that? I've heard it before, but I've never found any studies or anything on it.
I knew from the start that marijuana can mess with someone's brain but I'm surprised that it can cause infertility and testicular cancer. It's also a shame because a lot of teens who are constantly smoking marijuana will most likely have problems reproducing or will have kids with all sorts of health problems, the same thing happens to alcoholics and chain-smokers.
[QUOTE=ljonny;37693170]Woah woah woah.. Marijuana's a drug?
But I honestly doubt that it can cause testicular cancer, when it was proven to reduce cancer cells. Memory loss, Oh well, better than the memory lose you get from alcohol, as a teenager gets drunk, their memory gland completely shrinks, if you want to not have memory loss with marijuana, I suggest you use your mind more than your weed. I smoke weed, I can still remember everything in my life perfectly fine. I don't have testicle cancer, I don't have mental problems (anymore)
I don't even know why I came here, there is no way to completely prove that Marijuana has never killed anyone just alone and by itself,[B] so many little kids on this forum just arguing and arguing on something that was never completely studied.[/B][/QUOTE]
More like so many weed users trying to damage control their "infallible" drug.

I sleep 6 hours maximum[/QUOTE]
uh
you do know having much less sleep than recommended leads to health issues and big drops in IQ right?
[QUOTE=Sobotnik;37692686]heavens forbid that a single plant holds the only solutions to pain, epilepsy and cancer
if that plant were to not exist, cancer would be incurable
also i wish to know what type of cancer it specifically treats and success rates[/QUOTE]
Never claimed it was the only solution, just a better alternative to some of the other shit they prescribe for it
For cancer, google is your friend, I can't be bothered to play net dog for you

Depends on the circumstances.
[quote]and big drops in IQ right?[/quote]
Source
You do know that the amount of sleep necessary for people is different right? And that some of the most successful and intelligent people in history were short sleepers?
yeah some of the most successful and intelligent people in history were also drug addicts and insomniacs so that's a dumb reason to not sleep enough
Uh I just don't have the time to spend sleeping more. I easily wake up in the morning and make it easily through the day.
So how controlled were these studies? There are a ridiculous amount of confounding variables that could throw off a study like this. I am extremely suspicious of any study that finds the danger or good that cannabis causes.
I believe it is durgs
[B]I would like to point out since I am reading a lot of uninformed comments on the IQ here. The IQ levels are barely, if at all, affected after 18, when your brain has almost fully developed. It is only affected in teenagers who are still developing their brain who's IQ levels drop.[/B]
Please do some research and read more other than titles and first 2 lines of an article. Actually is says right there in the first line. Please read it.
Has anyone else ever noticed facepunch only listens to "studies" when they like the outcome?
this thread is filled with so much stupidity and ignorance, holy shit.
I thought this was already known
Should've been common sense by now

Science find evidence of possible health risk involving smoking weed?
[i]"Yesh! This is our time guise! Lets show those people who smoke weed and aren't hurting anybody at all![/i]
In comes a plethora of retards spouting off against something they have probably never even tried in there life.
Anybody else sick of this?[/QUOTE]
I smoked pot for the first time last week.
Does that mean I am part of the club that is allowed to argue about the negative effects of weed, or do I need to be a full on stoner?

I dunno, spreading bullshit about how its a miracle drug is pretty harmful
My granny died from lung cancer, my great uncle died of lung disease caused by pot smoking. I'm pretty sure that fits your bullshit criteria for whos allowed to be passionate about something
