Smoking weed is OBVIOUSLY terrible for your health

Anything can inspire you. A hooker inspired me to socialise and make friends. Doesn't mean prostitution is good.

I don't disagree with you at all, i do however think weed has a better chance of doing it, but only if that's what you want.

a hooker - taking any kind of action and not sitting on you ass - made something inside you to snap finally. In his case its weed. I see striking similarities between you

blazing even once a week would do you no harm, I think

I definitely prefer alcohol though

No blazing less than once a week causes reductions in brain volume if start smoking before 18
And you need to stop smoking for a month to upregulate dopamine receptors.

>weed is bad for you goy. stick with the alcohol ;)
lmao in any case op is a massive faggot

great argument

wtf i hate weed now

This thread should be a general. The best part is all the stoners that hold onto their addiction like a fucking teddy bear come out to shitpost no matter where you post these facts.

> smoke weed literally every day, multiple bowls
> lifting for 6 months, closing in on 1000lb club
> definitely do not look like I lift. Could lose 10 lbs

how much is the weed actually affecting my gains???

They aren't.

don't hate the weed, love it

> every stoner is a super athletic genius that make $100K at least

would you happen to have source on that, friend?

all true for me except still working on the super

Its so hard to stop Bros I went a whole week without it after years of smoking everyday and came back to some sluts after a bar last Saturday and smoked with her before I fuged her I CANT FUCKING STOP

Im heavily depressive and i use weed as an emergency medicine
Instead of taking tavor/rohypnol/valium when i have a really bad acute depressive episode i just smoke a joint and im actually able to calm down clear my mind and then go on with life
I agree though daily use definately makes lethargic and depressed

>Weed Causes Depression And Anxiety Disorders:

this is the reason I quit, I'm currently 1 month free and it's been one of the best decisions I've taken in a while.
I smoked daily for nearly a year, I would go through an ounce every 2 weeks
It felt good at the beginning but I started getting terrible anxiety which led to DP/DR, it's starting to get better though

I'm a daily stoner with a paid off house and workshop and make $15-$25k/year from my e-commerce business.

also i fuck bitches lmao

you're just weak willed. i quit after smoking every day for 4 years. the first week is the hardest, then it gets easier by the day.

same here man
tho the acid probs didnt help

...

Prostitution is good though.

every stoner ive lived with is a fucking waste of space, cant get thru the day without smoking weed and they never help out around the house. Piles of dishes left in random places because they're too stoned to be a normal human being and clean up after themselves. I suppose they're nice enough to chat to for a bit but im never fucking living with one again.

>Weed raises Estrogen levels:
>"In this study, the estrogenic effect of marijuana smoke condensate (MSC) was evaluated using in vitro bioassays, viz., the cell proliferation assay, the reporter gene assay, and the ER competitive binding assay. The results of these assays were compared with those of three major cannabinoids, i.e., THC, CBD, and CBN. The estrogenic effect of MSC was further confirmed by the immature female rat uterotrophic assay. MSC stimulated the estrogenicity related to the ER-mediated pathway, while neither THC, CBD, nor CBN did."

So smoking a shitload of weed raises estrogen levels in rats, but none of the actual cannabinoids do. So, rats should vape it I guess.

this.

those fuckers will eat you out of house and home.

>Endocrine Effects of Marijuana
>Further investigation has demonstrated that marijuana and its active component, ∆9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), have widespread effects on multiple hormonal systems, including gonadal, adrenal, prolactin, growth hormone, and thyroid hormone regulation in experimental models. In addition, the effects on the neuroendocrine mechanism of feeding are being delineated.
>Many of these acute effects, however, are transient as tolerance likely develops, and the long-term impact of marijuana smoking on the endocrine systems in humans remains unclear.

So, it's temporary, and goes away with the tolerance build up. I'm starting to think OP didn't read this stuff.

used to be a stoner, this is accurate

>Continuity of cannabis use and violent offending over the life course.
>"Although the association between cannabis use and violence has been reported in the literature, the precise nature of this relationship, especially the directionality of the association, is unclear."
Great start

>Young males from the Cambridge Study of Delinquent Development (n = 411) were followed up between the ages of 8 and 56 years to prospectively investigate the association between cannabis use and violence.
So they looked into these people's criminal history fucking anywhere in a FIVE DECADE gap that they deemed appropriate, and then compiled that? The likelyhood of anyone regularly using an illegal substance is already higher regardless of the substance, and they just happened to say "oh shit we may have given them way more time to commit crimes, guess you'll never know" like that doesn't invalidate everything they've done.

>This effect persisted after controlling for other putative risk factors for violence.
So they isolated violent incidents directly correlated with weed by doing... something. Great work, there.

>Together, these results provide strong indication that cannabis use predicts subsequent violent offending, suggesting a possible causal effect, and provide empirical evidence that may have implications for public policy.
This is laughable, agenda pushing nonsense.

>Weed causes cancer
We learned a long time ago that smoking ANYTHING increases the risk of cancer. The human body was not designed to inhale fucking burnt ashes. Every single study you cited on cannabis use and it's link to cancer, when they even did bother to specify the method of ingestion, they were all smoking it for decades. Not a single one of those studies mentions vaporization, absorbing it through the skin with a gel form, using the cannabis to make edibles or drinks, or anything.

So, smoking can cause cancer. Great fucking study there, OP.

I have a completely anecdotal story to share.

In high school, i smoked weed 5-6 times per day and was high from the moment i woke up through the moment i went to sleep, for years.

Over time (years) i gradually developed a more feminine way about me. My voice was a bit higher pitched, i talked and laughed more like a girl, i would physically hit my friend when i laughed like a girl does, i really only ever got along with girls in social situations, etc. It was especially pronounced when i was high. I didn't really notice it or care about it that much because i was a stoner, but i started to hear people talking about it behind my back and it was pretty embarrassing. When i eventually stopped smoking weed i definitely noticed a difference in my voice, behavior, etc.

I didn't suffer any physically feminine effects, i was just a skelly. I don't say any of this to dissuade people from smoking weed; i think it is healthier than alcohol and i still smoke once a month or so. I just really do believe that my estrogen levels were sky high due to the insane amounts of weed i was smoking.

/thread

lol keep drinking booze and taking opiates faggots all the more weed for me.

>Long-Term Effects of Cannabis on Brain Structure
>"The dose-dependent toxicity of the main psychoactive component of cannabis in brain regions rich in cannabinoid CB1 receptors is well known in animal studies. However, research in humans does not show common findings across studies regarding the brain regions that are affected after long-term exposure to cannabis."
>"When comparing gray matter volume between groups, we find that significant clusters showing a lower gray matter volume in regular cannabis users compared with occasional ones are located bilaterally in the temporal pole and in the parahippocampal gyrus. Additional clusters cover the left insula and the left orbitofrontal cortex (Figure 1). In contrast, three cerebellar clusters show the opposite behavior, with increased gray matter volume."
>"Specifically, significant gray matter atrophy can occur either with a heavy cannabis consumption independent of the age of first use or with recreational consumption that started during adolescence (before the age of 18)."

So excessive use of mind altering substances can influence cognitive development. Shit, somebody ban almost every OTC and controlled substance, it's for the children.

Does it mean I am using it medicinally if I feel that before I ever used I never wanted to get out of bed because my whole body is too stiff. The marijuana makes me feel like I can run and lift and be alive.

Honestly now that I think of it, Tylenol does the same thing for me and it is also useful to take Tylenol to get yourself off of weed.

>Weed Causes Long Term Cognitive Damage:
>Weed Causes Depression And Anxiety Disorders:
>Weed Causes Psychotic Disorders:
>Weed Worsens Symptoms Of Social Anxiety Disorder:
Weed Causes Deficits In Dopamine Release:

tl;dr Excessive use of mind altering substances can influence or impede cognitive development, especially during formative years.

>Children of Fathers that Smoke Weed More Likely To Suffer Sudden Infant Death Syndrome:
tl;dr "The role of paternal psychoactive drug use, especially the relationship between marijuana and SIDS, is an understudied area; however, before any definitive role for the father can be confirmed, these findings should be investigated and replicated in future studies."

>Weed Legalisation Results In More Frequent Use:
tl;dr More people do something when it's decriminalized, no shit.

>Weed Causes Lung Damage:
tl;dr Smoking causes lung damage, even if it's weed you're smoking, because people can't breath smoke.

>Secondhand Weed Smoke Impairs Psychomotor Function And Working Memory:
tl;dr Breathing in weed smoke makes you high. Holy shit what a development.

Was there anything else, OP, or did I shit over all of it?

not sure if this thread is dead but I feel pretty strongly about weed getting me do to shit correctly.
>gets me paranoid about being unclean (me and my house)
>gets me paranoid about not working
>gets me paranoid about doing things incorrectly
>gets me paranoid of not lifting enough

Maybe I'm an anomaly but if I smoke once every two weeks, I just get shit done.

It's the same thing as with nofap

Delusinal addict

Stoners act like paranoid cult members, anyone who doesn't think that weed is the magical cancer cure JAH BLESS PUT IT IN THE EARTH CAN DONO ARM is suddenly part of the alcohol/tobacco industry

then don't smoke it :)

Wow you're so cool dude!

nice rebuttal my man we got that loser

First time living by myself (been 8 months now), haven't been able to make many friends, know a few people from work, we hang out sometimes but i wouldn't call it friendship... been smoking weed about 3 times a week now, sometimes i just wake up the next morning and ask myself what the fuck am i doing... but god dammit it helps to cope with the loneliness

It's all the same source. What are you trying to prove...? Stick with QTDDTOT

Weed is horrible and drinking is horrible, just stop being a fucking degenerate

...

I can tell you guys got invited to lots of parties in high school.

>Used to smoke weed a lot and also wasn't invited to parties.

What now , faggot?

Marijuana is one of the least harmful drugs out there and most of these studies speculate and even say more studies need to be done to form any conclusion. Sure, weed isn't the best for you obviously but it sure as FUCK beats alcohol. Alcohol is literally one of the worst drugs out there next to meth.

You didn't argue in favor of half the shit, just basically said,"WELL OTHER THINGS DO IT TOO!!" Retard.

lol so mad he got btfo

>stop doing weed
>why should I
>well, did you know that literally every single compound that alters brain chemistry can influence cognitive development if done in excess?
>obviously
>so that is my argument why you should stop doing specifically weed altogether

That's like saying "Stop specifically driving Ford cars because Ford cars happen to be cars and did you know that cars crash sometimes" as a main argument on why specifically Ford is bad.

I smoke every night at about 10 and do work for a few hours. It makes otherwise monotonous work somewhat bearable. Having said that, if it requires a modicum of deep thinking, I'd rather not be stoned.

Hey OP, just thought you should know that half your studies basically come from a person working against drug use in general.

Basically, the epitome of confirmation bias going in - in other words - she gets these 'negative' results because she is looking for them.

Much in the same way that the average person who drinks is not a drunk driver but you can clearly correlate alcohol and some car accidents.

That only means alcohol ABUSE causes car accidents, not alcohol USE.

Its important to remember that the modern era of science is very much about money and politics.

Take it from me - I'm from /x/ - where 'bad science' like this is all over the place and every thread requires reading between the lines.

I mean hell dude, I can show you studies suggesting that gaming does and DOESNT cause violent tendencies.

If you examine something illegal - something that makes the prison industry hundreds of millions per year - you HAVE to read between the lines.

Finally, if we analyze and hate on every single thing that has a negative attached to it we cant even eat large meals - we cant consume most processed foods - we cant sleep with a night light on - we cant listen to loud music, cant eat almost any red meat, the list goes on.

My point is - if you're going to judge an apple tree you should probably base your opinion on what you thought of the apples when YOU ate them. Thats what anyone with wisdom would do if apple trees were illegal and a hot political topic.

I did the same and I think you're just a fag desu.
Only thing about weed I didn't like is the sober fog

Marijuana when smoked and filtered through a water pipe into a vapor is not harmful to your health by any means.

Steak sweet potatoes beer and weed it's good being a skelly

Wait till you get a bigboy job, son.
