Pot's great as a short-term stress-reliever, and it works EVERY time. What most people don't know though, is that it alters your brain chemistry, lowering serotonin levels for months after the active effect of being "high" is over. Serotonin levels control stuff like mood and a low level is a prime cause of clinical depression. You smoke a lot of pot, feel great, then it wears off and you're more prone to depression, anxiety, aggravation, so you smoke some more pot to feel better and the cycle feeds itself.
Secondarily, pot is HORRIBLE if yer tryin' to work out. Aside from any abuse your lungs take, pot lowers testosterone production. You can still work out and get in shape, but you'd get in shape a WHOLE lot faster if you don't smoke pot.
I don't think either thing is reason for criminality. Legalize it. Let people deal with their own problems their own way. The government isn't our mommy and daddy. Protect me from other people, don't try to protect me from myself. |

really? I've heard from various people that pot keeps you from being ambitious - or at least as ambitious as you normally would be if you didn't use pot.
one thing I have noticed is that people who take drugs seem to spend a lot of time thinking about their drugs.
frankly, i'd rather spend time thinking about my career. |

I've been smoking regularly for about a year. I work out, feel great, and am in no way depressed.
And I spend as little time as possible talking about it. Its kinda like Fight Club in these parts... too many religious wackjobs waiting to turn you in. |

Sounds like someones been reading those pamphlets that lie to kids.
The testosterone effect has been studied quite a bit, last I read they could not find a link to it lowering your testosterone. Infact they have found evidence showing that it does not.
Dont beleive all the myths about pot, there are a lot of them

Myth: Marijuana causes sterility and lowers testosterone
Government experts also concede that pot has no permanent effect on the male or female reproductive systems.(14) A few studies have suggested that heavy marijuana use may have a reversible, suppressive effect on male testicular function.(15) A recent study by Dr. Robert Block has refuted earlier research suggesting that pot lowers testosterone or other sex hormones in men or women.(16) In contrast, heavy alcohol drinking is known to lower testosterone levels and cause impotence. A couple of lab studies indicated that very heavy marijuana smoking might lower sperm counts. However, surveys of chronic smokers have turned up no indication of infertility or other abnormalities. |

If more people smoked pot the world would be a better place. Go find a crackhead, and give shit to him...... o-yah the crackhead would likely rob then try to kill you for the $1.00 you have in your pocket. Somebody has way too much free time if they've turned to reading those pamphlets and agree with them.
I spend no time thinking about pot, i just light the fuckin doobie and that it!!! haha |

I kinda saw your point in the global warming thread, but you have shit the bed here...... :D
long time pot smoker, doing okay here. never been depressed or had anxiety. well, unless you count the time that Yao Man gave the truck to Dreamz in exchange for him giving up immunity if he won it in the final four. then when Dreamz didn't give it up, I was kinda anxious to see what would happen....and then a little depressed that Yao Man got voted off. but then I got high and it was okay again. |
