Has tokin' on the good shit caused any of you guyz any problems over the years? Honestly now. Have you fucked up your head or become lazy or any shit like that? Or found it hard to cope without a toke when you really want one?

I just smoke now and again and haven't found it has caused me any problems or at least not yet anyway. I'd ;like to think I ain;t smoked enough to cause me any noticeable harm.

What bout you guyz?

personally, I don't think I'm any different than when I first started smoking. My wife will say that my memory has suffered. However, I counter with the fact that my memory has always been bad which is why I've relied on PDAs since I was about 17. Other than that, I'm still the same knucklehead I was 10+ years ago...albeit a little fatter...and with a few more grey hairs.

I think it has affected my short term memory. I think it will wear off if I quit, but I definitely dont remember as well as I used to.

It causes me to forget things that are unimportant, but I remember many things that my non-smoking friends forget. I do however get into little slumps of laziness, but later that day I get to be productive.

I used to dream of becoming a priest or a doctor or a "computer programmer". Now I just imagine myself flipping burgers and maybe playing bass in a band.

Also I erm, ...

My short term memory is a lot worse. However, my legal trouble is far worse than anything the drug it self has done to me.

I would say my short-term memory has declined over the past 4 years I've been a regular smoker. I don't believe the symptom is long term though--we have have a hell of a lot of brain cells and alcohol kills more anyway, so they're the one's with the major and permanent memory loss (I see it in my father all the time, and he drinks a good bit everyday). But, as a college professor in Psychology, I have no problem doing my job and remembering all the info I need to present to my classes, so I think like every other drug, it affects people differently...

i used to smoke a lot, and i found tht at one time i had become a kind of zombie; i was lazy, tired, had low ambition, short term memory loss, grades in school dropping right down, i seemed distant to myself...like a diferent person and i had a constant need for a smoke.

To add to all this i got chucked out of my home at 16 and in trouble with police, this wasnt directly related to smoking the bud i think a lot of it came from the way i was feeling because of this.

i cut down drastically for a while and i seemed to get my head sorted out and get back on top of my life.
i have started collage now and still enjoy a nice smoke on a regular basis...but i dont go over the top.

I think the only harm i've recieved is reduced lung capacity slightly, but then again it might be psychological cause i'm a worrier and i'm on the track team

with the exception of the money that I have had to pay in court costs, fines, lawyer's fees, I would have to say no. I have suffered none from toking the great chit!

Smoking has caused me to replace the "s" on the end of plural wordz with "z".


All seriousness though. Inhaling any kind of smoke is dangerous to some degree. We all have caused irreverisble damage to ourselves by smoking. And to say that smoking won't cause anything bad: People die from smoke inhalation in fires. Smoke does harm you.

I'm just waiting for my vaporizer to come in the mail. At least I can smoke without having to worry about the dangers anymore...

BTW "tokin'" takes the same amount of effort as typing "toking" you still had to press 6 keys...

Regular usage has not had any negative effect on me, well, at least not that I can tell (let's conveniently forget about the effects smoke has on the lungs, yeah?!).
I am a regular toker, but when I go on holiday for example, there is so much to do and explore and friends to meet that I am just too tired in the evenings to light up a joint. Can't say I have had any problems going to sleep without a toke though! Nor did I have any nightmares.
As for my memory....no change there. The only "trouble" I have when stoned is that I keep on pressing the light switch when I want to switch off the music....LOL!

i've been smoking everyday for about 22 years and the worst thing i noticed is other people's prejudices...to them, i'm a user or a druggie...a person who can't be trusted and shouldn't be allowed to operate a vehicle or a gas powered lawnmower...among friends and girlfriends, i have been at times a concern or a liability (but a good person to keep around in case they want the occasional sack of weed)...ome employers worried that i would steal or get other employees hooked on the demon weed...neighbours and passer-bys sneer at the smell, and stare scornfully at me as if i had horns on my head


but otherwise, cannabis has been a very good friend to me

Hey all How are you all doing, good I hope.

As for weed harming me I don't think so even though when I stoned I can't fuction tdue to some brain damage I suffered in my life but I'll tell it help to ease the pain I'm in since I had my right shoulder replaced awhile even with the painkillers I'm on.

I think that weed helps me when I write by stories and it helps with my depression.

So all in all I have to say that weed has done more good for me then harm.
