fuck the paranoia just ignore it, but sometimes its right tho lol
Haha that's the problem. It's like my mom talking to me or something. They should reduce the mom influence in weed. haha. It probably got me through college though.... seriously. I was guilted through school by weed haha. It spoke to me :|

If I can zone out I'm fine. I can play a game for like an hour and then get bored and start thinking crazy shit. Maybe I should just go with it and be ambitious...

The paranoia can be caused by the weed you're smoking. Some weed makes me paranoid but I just realize it as such and ignore it, but still it sucks. I don't think it makes you any smarter or dumber but it certainly makes you a LOT more creative. Granted, some of those great ideas may sound a bit ..."less great" the next morning, but it sure is nice to have all those wonderful, creative things coming into your mind outta nowhere. Everybody is getting older unless you've found a cosmic worm hole or drive a Delorean tricked out by Dr. Martin.

You would have alot more fun smoking weed and life in gengen if you quit blow tard :) marijuana is an incentive activator in myself and many others i know, with my illness i couldnt even get out of bed most days unless i have ambition. Hard drugs arent the answer, they do more harm than good...oh and southparks stupid too. ;)

That DeLorean has every hallmark of a weed-fueled creative idea. Jmo. cn

It actually is a fountain of youth. They use it in Asian cultures till there 100 + they say its the fountain of youth. + there's some biological reasons why too I'd say. If you look it up, marijuana/ thc something actually latches on to estrogen receptors or something like that so thats probably the key..

Talkin' bout fishing and weed? If so they have gone hand in hand for me for almost 20 years :) Nothing like fighting a furious salmon while being just BLITZED! Bass and trout too. My problem is I had this job in the oil patch, they test for fucking THC (bastards) and now I'm supposed to go back up soon for a higher paying one and I can't smoke, haven't for over 7 months. I'd find a different job but theres fuckall jobs that pay more than 2 g's a month around here. I'm miserable without weed most of the time. I stay on RIU and it's my choice but somedays are so hard...sigh. I will SMOKE AGAIN!! :bigjoint:

As a lifetime smoker, been smoking longer than most people on this site have been alive, there is no way in hell MJ makes a person smarter.
Any study that says otherwise is full of shit.

Been smoking myself for 20+ years. Have to agree with some of the people here. It does make you more motivated for some things, less motivated for others. I find it helps me exercise, research, work, do boring chores, etc. Even the anti-social feelings can be ignored as paranoia most of the time. I have been more motivated to do things with my life on weed than without it. And I actually follow through. Seems to be getting more and more like that. When I was younger I had no desire to better myself, now it's almost all I want to do when I'm high. I also look a lot younger than my older family members did at my age, but it could be coincidence. As far as it making me want to be healthier maybe it is keeping me younger in that way.

The BIG however is that I know quite a few people much older than me that have smoked longer than me and don't seem to get motivated in the same way with their lives.

Some people smoke weed and want to do practically nothing at all. Others smoke weed and attack life. I really don't know why, but I suspect some people smoke weed to escape certain things, while others use it because they can expand their lives with it. Maybe it has to do with how much is smoked. Sometimes less is more if you want to get things done. A half hit in the mornings and I'm ready to wake up and seize the day. Two hits and I'm ready to go back to bed. At night I can smoke much more and still be motivated though.

I'm rambling, nice thread, got us thinking.

I wouldn't say that it makes you smarter by any means, but intelligence is another spectrum all on it's own. Aptitude no, but I believe MJ helps you tune into who you are. Now, as a psychology major I know for a fact that you can take a test high/drunk and be fine as long as you study in that same state. I will say, MJ helps me take a step back from myself and let me know when i'm being an asshole or unfair; and that to a degree is intelligence.
