Funny, but seriously, not everyone who smokes pot is slow. Some very bright minds do it, some occasionally, a few often, one in particular I know (whose mastery of Ancient Greek and Classics in general is phenomenal for just starting out as a grad student) thrice a day. It happens. You should really look into some more neutral investigations. I'm not saying it's bad, but it's not nearly as detrimental as, for example, alcohol. What really matters is intake; I think that those who are slow or lazy and smoke pot are probably slow or lazy to begin with.

And I'm not even a pot smoker.

I guess I tweet about japanese a lot.
Nice! Pen-pals are good to have. Have you heard of lang-8? You write in whatever language you're learning and then native speakers correct it, and you can return the favor by correcting the writing of others trying to learn English. It's extremely useful and free.

No I've never heard of that! I'll write it down somewhere and remember to try it out once I learn more of the Kanji/Katakana.

Spoken like someone who is not close-minded.

And yes, I used to smoke pot every day for 7 years. Now for the last few months I have only smoked maybe once or twice a month. Both times the size of a pea, both times enough to make me eat everything in my fridge, lol. But seriously, what's your point?...

You say people that smoke are slow and dumb. Well, then I guess I'm slow and dumb. Anything better than being someone who is indoctrinated to the point that he can't even be bothered to look into the possibility that cannabis has some good values. I say educate yourself my friend. Stop being stubborn and look into the reasons why cannabis was made illegal in the first place. And for God's sake, if even Harvard University shows positive effects of cannabis, stop saying 'no credible sources'. Because quite frankly, it makes you look stupid. Just sayin'...

Not that I'm advocating smoking pot, I borderline can't stand it, actually. But I do believe it has very strong medicinal purposes. At the very least, if I'm dying of cancer, I think I'm gonna smoke some pot.

But yeah, it's hard to take it seriously when 99% of the time you're hearing it from pot heads. :D

Better to make hash oil and ingest it. Maybe even use it as a topical cream too depending on the type of cancer...

Nature of the beast I guess... lol

But it's nice to slowly start seeing more educated studies on the matter so you don't have to take those potheads' word for it...

That's the problem, 80-90% of marihuana users are going to end up using it to "get high".

I've heard that marihuana cream is fantastic for chronic fatigue syndrome (It's used to reduce pain in the areas where the pain is localized) but I'm probably going to stick around with other creams and ointments due to pot heads smoking it instead of using it as a medicinal item :evil: .

Lulz! I have no idea what that was. I've only started like the first 20 Katakana. But I signed up for that site! It seems really cool! I can't wait to start actually using it, thanks for mentioning it.
