From my observations it seems to debilitate the assholiness function of the brain immediately, and keeps it in check for an extended period of up to 24 hours.

Other effects are from much more subtile to unnoticable.


These are not undesireable effects.

Meh... I smoked weed daily for 30 years- good shit too as some here can attest- and it didn't stop me from getting my degree, winning in softball, succeeding in business, marrying and staying married to a great wife, etc.

Weed is like catnip. It affects all of us differently, some more than others.

So....apparently I'm the only person on this board who hasn't smoked pot?

Good to know. At least I've never had to worry about failing a drug test

Not a controlled experiment. Therefore no cause and effect inference can legitimately be made. Doesn't matter if the researchers are "Harvard affliated" or not. Case closed.

And people really should stop even doing studies like this unless they are going to clearly state that, at best, the results should only be viewed as suggesting that a controlled experiment should be conducted. Instead, a very aggressive cause and effect statement is made.

As I've said many times before: I love science. Science is a wonderful process. But scient-TISTS are becoming more and more of a problem due to their absense of discipline.

I stopped smoking pot at 23. I didn't have my first kid until 32.

That's what I was thinking too. A high percentage of chronic users are self medicating for conditions like ADD so they are going to naturally test worse for mental function. Besides the list of sheer geniuses who smoked blows this study out of the water. Carl Sagan felt it helped his intellect. :nod:
