address the argument presented or don't post.[/QUOTE]
That's not an argumentum, if I used him as a reason to denounce the article in question then it would be to the man. Just find it funny how a DD user is posting pro drug topics, stereotypical, predictable.
Lots of low lifes use weed, it's true, but a lot of positive members of society smoke as well. These are usually the people that smoke with friends and have great times while not making a big deal about the fact that they smoke.
For instances, both my best friends parents smoke. His mom is a successful lawyer in NYC and his Dad is a consultant that gets hired to take-over and fix magazines (Magazines you all have read, guaranteed). So as a family they are very very well off. I know his dad was a huge stoner in college but he turned out just fine!
You can smoke weed and still live a better life than anyone. You just need to make sure your priorities are in place. Anything is bad without moderation.

I once saw an abortion advocate post a thread advocating abortion. I find these things funny as well. So predictable.

I don't ever smoke to "relieve pain" or escape.[/QUOTE]
Im no expert but it sounds like you would have deeper problems if you used drugs or alcohol to do either of those things.
Well, at least someone shares my sense of humor. :v:

yes it is stereotypical and predictable that someone who uses drugs and is therefore affected by the laws and social stigmas that these studies support or undermine would be posting them

i smoked weed to relieve pain caused by a abscess under a dead tooth until i could get it removed
[QUOTE=Pepsi-cola;39222378]Maybe people that smoke weed just generally have a lower IQ.[/QUOTE]
no, ur dum lol reckd

This idea is thrown around monotonously. I think we all agree and have heard it a thousand times before.

Exactly. A deeper problem. Be it mental or physical.
If weed fucks up your life then Weed just got there first.

I'm pretty sure it's the reasoning and justification behind most drug use.

I can't wait for you to stop posting, unless you want to contribute something thoughtful.

There's evidence to suggest that J. R. R. Tolkien smoked weed.

i think moderation taken in moderation could possibly be bad...

And?
So did Carl Sagan, how is that any proof that marijuana isn't neurotoxic? There is always the argument that they might have produced "better" work or contributed more if they hadn't been drug users.

i did get it removed, but i had to take anti-biotics to make the abscess smaller until it could get pulled and weed helped me deal with the pain until then!

A lot of artists try to get ideas and have said that they are much better off with marijuana.

in the hobbit movie they said that bilbo and gandalf smoke weed, pretty sure wizards have pretty high IQ
This thread will be ridiculous
[QUOTE=TaniaTiger;39222781]There's evidence to suggest that J. R. R. Tolkien smoked weed.[/QUOTE]
he often talked about mushrooms and types of weeds and tobaccos but never really seen any evidence to support he was into cannabis
a source would be nice to read over

i wish dentists prescribed weed

Their testimony is not proof that marijuana makes you a better artist or more creative.

Hemingway was an alcoholic.
If only I drink to excess, I can make great literature too!
[QUOTE=Vasili;39222844]i wish dentists prescribed weed[/QUOTE]
yeah, its alot better than the codeine they prescribed me afterwards
I can agree with this article a lot, i remember kids who were "less fortunate" (aka less financially stable) did shittier in school mostly because their parents didnt really give a fuck.

well look at history, some of the greatest musicians were from the 60s through the 80s when drugs were the shit, if it werent for marijuana, for example, the rock n roll age would be way more dull.

I'm not trying to make a solid point, just disagreeing with the statement "Maybe people that smoke weed just generally have a lower IQ" - That in itself is faulty and it just doesn't correlate. I'm not saying that everyone who smokes weed is a genius/weed makes you smart. I just don't think it's fair to stereotype.
[QUOTE=alexguydude;39222822]A lot of artists try to get ideas and have said that they are much better off with marijuana.[/QUOTE]
that might be because their brain began to associate being high with creating. it's like if someone studies on amphetamines, they need to take the test on amphetamines to be able to fully recall the information.
i've never personally been creative on marijuana. at least, not moreso than being sober.
drugs effect everyone differently. different people handle them and produce or don't produce based on their use of them
you can't say all artists smoke weed or drink alcohol or do drugs or that those things make an artist better, they're just part of the process for those people. other people have done fantastic in the absence of drugs and influences like that. it's all personal. that's as far as that needs to go.
