This is the first time I've seen a study saying that pot can permanently mess up your brain. I know that it's been said for a while now that meth can really mess people up. Everything from depression to paranoia, etc.
I can say from personal experience (I used to used meth.. clean for amost 4 yrs now) that my short term memory is shot, and from what I understand I can never get that function back again.
Honestly though, I'm not too surprised that other drugs, especially those that are man-made, can lead to irreversable damage. Really, shouldn't we all know better by now?

the point is

people don't care, they continue to take these drugs, in some cases, they know full well its bad for them, they continue to do so at their own peril

let them do it, we don't agree, but don't they have the right to do what they like with their own lives?

Good article jacx...

it says:

" Half of young people using cannabis suffer side effects such as paranoia and blackouts, a UK survey suggests."
As a worker for DYS... I can vouch for that... the drug use, causes ALOT of effects.. and alot of
learning difficulties for the teens I encounter *sigh*




P.S. I Love your Sig TCA (Y) (Y) :P

(I forgot how cute it was) :giggle:

I couldn't agree with you more. As long as they're not using welfare to buy them, I'm all for letting dopeheads destroy themselves.

[Pot4life]

[JaiJai]

lol tankies, i love the person who made it ;)


Awwww ty :hidey:
The person who made it thinks you're hella cool too ;)

I'm glad to see you still use it hehe


Pot4life.. it's not true.. alot of former drug abusers report they are never the same mentally..
Many irreversible effects come from heavy drug abuse.. maybe you didn't use too long?

[Pot4life]

nah, i started feeling some long tearm effects and quit straight away :S its also methinds in which you use

[Psychostyle]

I wanna know what people had blackouts. Paranoia as a 1st time user, fine..you get paranoid because its against the law, nothing more., But ive smoked myself silly, and smoked so much ive "smoked myself sober" i have never, EVER heard of anyone blacking out from weed. i find that statement silly, unless by blackout they mean, burnout and go to sleep

[DnD]

im with p on this one lol, wtf is a blackout?

and look at the pic of cannabis they have, looks like some bunk shit. maybe thats why people are going crazy and stuff; cause they're smokin bad shit! lol

[Pot4life]

lol i agree

I've read about this before, it's pretty alarming that most of the experimenting takes place when it really shouldn't. Apart from the biological effects it's also in the teen years the personality and identity forming is taking place and that process is hurt by cannabis (and other drugs). All the people I know who was experimenting with drugs at a young age are marked by it in some way or another, I know thats not a groundbreaking argument, but I believe what I see (and know from my own experience).

But, as I have understood it these biologial and psychological damages doesn't happen when you are grown up (since you're no longer developing), and I dont think cannabis takes too much toll on a grown up brain. Other than slow it down a bit for a while..:P

Too bad that the drive to experiment often is biggest when you really dont need it then:/

1st of all, good job, i know its hard to stop(y) (y) (y)

2nd i never saw pot as "dope". pot is just pot. The only thing bad about it is that you smoke instead of doing other stuff (school, work, watch your kids, etc).

3rd people shouldnt worry about pot at all. pople need to worry when they dont have money for it. i know when i couldnt get pot, i abused alcohol and meth, which is why i ended up in rehab and on probation. that happend cuz i didnt have the money or connect for pot.
