Using marijuana may affect your ability to think and plan, study says
“Our study enabled us to highlight several areas of cognition impaired by cannabis use, including problems concentrating and difficulties remembering and learning, which may have considerable impact on users’ daily lives,” said coauthor Dr. Alexandre Dumais, associate clinical professor of psychiatry at the University of Montreal.
“Cannabis use in youth may consequently lead to reduced educational attainment, and, in adults, to poor work performance and dangerous driving. These consequences may be worse in regular and heavy users,” Dumais said.
Daniel Ream — Don’t mistake this for stupidity. Dr. Dumais is a genius. She figured out how to get the university to pay for her and and her friends’ weed supply.
The safety fetishist Karens up to their usual shenanigans.
Is there any benefit we would lose if we shut down every university and started over?
Now, if she can just convince her revenue sources that evidence points to a relationship between AGW and and increased weed use, and that a funded study is necessary, she’ll be puffin’ free for life.
I believe Dr. Cheech and Dr. Chong wrote on this some time ago!
Yes but it increases your ability for interpreting Tool lyrics and eating chips.
I’m still trying to understand Ænema … without the “medicinal” herb
Well, you don’t say.
maybe it would be more useful to figure out what causes some weed users to undergo psychotic breaks, and require mental health treatment…
?.. If your stupid to begin with :).. Pot sure isn’t going to help to make things better.. Where do you draw the line where stupid stops and pot starts.. Another sacred cow computer model dealing with chaotic systems that can produce any result you want..
The economy of scale.. Yes if your stoned all the time and distracted with other things you would rather do.. Do you really need pot to go down that path.. Sex, alcohol and even work itself can put you in a position where parts of your life are not fully developed.. Define underdeveloped.. We are all unique and excuses are a dime a dozen..
Everything we come into contact with is bad for you its all a matter of dosage.. Too much time and your dead.. Too much of everything under the sun and your dead.. Put that in your computer model..
“Everything we come into contact with is bad for you its all a matter of dosage..”
Yes, there is a measure of everything, I know that’s a relative concept.
There is a book that says something to the effect that a little bit of wine makes heart glad.
Of course the problem is that everyone has a different idea of the ‘little bit’.
Weed may be good for expanding your mind in the moment, then you come down and are not happy. Just a guess.
Tried it once, bad experience.
Brings to mind an old song written by the great Guy Clark (RIP)
Too Much
Too much working’ll make your back ache
Too much trouble’ll bring you a heartbreak
Too much gravy’ll make you fat
Too much rain’ll ruin your hat
Too much coffee’ll race your heart tick
Too much road’ll make you homesick
Too much money’ll make you lazy
Too much whiskey’ll drive you crazy
Too much just ain’t enough
Too much ain’t near enough
Breathing’s ’bout the only thing
I do too much of ain’t enough
Now, too much limo’ll stretch your budget
Too much diet’ll make you fudge it
Too much bluff’ll make you show it
Too much pressure’ll make you blow it
Hey, too much onion’ll make you weepy
Too much preaching’ll make you sleepy
Too much Mexican food’ll fill you
Too much honky tonk’ll kill you
Too much just ain’t enough
Too much ain’t near enough
Breathing’s ’bout the only thing
I do too much of ain’t enough now
Too much hot rod’ll get you a ticket
Too much dog’ll make you kick it
Too much hiding out’ll find you
Too much you-know-what’ll blind you
Too much wrist watch’ll make you hurry
Too much waiting’ll make you worry
Too much smoking’ll give you cancer
Too much cocaine ain’t the answer
Too much just ain’t enough
Too much ain’t near enough
Breathing’s ’bout the only thing
I do too much of ain’t enough now
Too much walking’ll wear your shoes out
Too much juice’ll blow your fuse out
Too much time’ll fill your hands up
Too much speed’ll wire the band up
Too much chip’ll bruise your shoulder
Too much birthday’ll make you older
Too much map has always lost me
Too much fun has always cost me
Too much just ain’t enough
Too much ain’t near enough
Breathing’s ’bout the only thing
I do too much of ain’t enough
Too much, too much
Breathing’s ’bout the only thing
I do too much of ain’t enough, alright.
Extracts such as CBD can be beneficial for some people.
However, that’s vastly different from taking the dried plant, rolling it up in paper, lighting it on fire, and sucking in the smoke. Doing so is barbaricstupid.
I used to think pot was bad and then I started taking TCH oil and now it’s like, it’s like, it’s like
It explains – in part – why Justin Trudeau has a poor ability at thinking.
( the other part is that he is dumb )
Could have just asked Fat Freddy’s Cat.
I can attest to pot’s deleterious effect on rational thought.
I smoked heavily when I got out of college and started a career as a computer scientist (programming in an extremely technical field). One night, on a date, the cops rolled up on us as we were finishing a bowl of good weed. We had a long conversation with the cops and they eventually let me go on my promise to “go and sin no more”. It helped that I was completely honest and told them exactly where to go in the vehicle and find the material. The story of the encounter is funny and those to whom I have related the experience are always amused.
I did what I promised. I went home and destroyed my paraphernalia. I gave my stash to someone I knew. I turned down entreaties to date my co-conspirator because I knew where that would lead. I changed my group of friends and changed my lifestyle.
Some time later, my mind became much more acute and I was able to follow much more complex trains of thought. The latter was very valuable in my profession and my career took off. Anecdotal? Yes. But, I am convinced that the change in my actions led me to have a much happier and more prosperous life. All because one police officer saw the potential to change my life and took the initiative to save me by not arresting me.
Years later, I did contract work in the city in which I was almost arrested. A cafe near my apartment shared a strip center venue with a neighborhood police center. I ate breakfast there occasionally and sometimes officers were in the restaurant; on those days, I picked up their tab. I did not make a fuss about it and the proprietor would explain who paid the bill. I explained that an officer had changed my life in a positive way many years prior and this was my effort to pay it forward.
I used to be able to think about planning.
Stupid is as stupid does.
