[QUOTE]Originally posted by Da_bang80: [QB] Check this sight out. Maybe your friend just got dumber on his own. http://www.drugpolicy.org/marijuana/factsmyths/ MYTH: MARIJUANA IMPAIRS MEMORY AND COGNITION. Under the influence of marijuana, people are unable to think rationally and intelligently. Chronic marijuana use causes permanent mental impairment. FACT: Marijuana produces immediate, temporary changes in thoughts, perceptions, and information processing. The cognitive process most clearly affected by marijuana is short-term memory. In laboratory studies, subjects under the influence of marijuana have no trouble remembering things they learned previously. However, they display diminished capacity to learn and recall new information. This diminishment only lasts for the duration of the intoxication. There is no convincing evidence that heavy long-term marijuana use permanently impairs memory or other cognitive functions. MYTH: MARIJUANA CAN CAUSE PERMANENT MENTAL ILLNESS. Among adolescents, even occasional marijuana use may cause psychological damage. During intoxication, marijuana users become irrational and often behave erratically. FACT: There is no convincing scientific evidence that marijuana causes psychological damage or mental illness in either teenagers or adults. Some marijuana users experience psychological distress following marijuana ingestion, which may include feelings of panic, anxiety, and paranoia. Such experiences can be frightening, but the effects are temporary. With very large doses, marijuana can cause temporary toxic psychosis. This occurs rarely, and almost always when marijuana is eaten rather than smoked. Marijuana does not cause profound changes in people's behavior. While he's on the whacky tobacky, yes, he probably would be dumber. I've tried a little experiment of my own with a couple different I.Q. tests. Surprisingly I found my I.Q. to be higher after smoking a small amount of the happy herb. And lower if I'm full blown ripped out of my mind. It all depends on how much is smoked I guess. As for the headaches, that's just me. It's probably different for everyone depending on how much they take in. It's just a plant after all and not everybodies into that sort of thing. I accept that, I wasn't trying to be a pusher or anything. [/QB][/QUOTE]
