Cannabis smoker vs. Alcohol drinker, the diverse effects and a true story from living it.
January 22, 2014
Now that marijuana is legal in 2 states, further studies on the effects of the drug on the brain are being conducted. Last year, one study found that long-te…

Anything done too much is going to be bad for you, hence the “too much”
bit. People need more self-control.
Most people who smoke weed do other drugs as well. Correlation is not
causation
Obviously ingesting anything not “meant” to be ingested is going to lead to
some negative side effects, the problem with this however is that, like
many have said before, alcohol and cigarettes are already legal, and have
been proven to have MORE negative side effects than marijuana. I’m not
saying make alcohol and cigarettes illegal, but how about we start treating
marijuana like any of these other substances when talking about them, this
should not be such a huge debate seeing as how i have said before, alcohol
and cigarettes can be consumed freely in any amount with little to no legal
repercussion leading to cancer in cigarette use, and cirrhosis in alcohol
abusers. But we get our panties all in a bunch because marijuana causes a
bit of memory loss? Something about this just doesn’t make sense.
What a cesspool of propaganda.
Carl Sagan seemed just fine despite his cannabis use.
I’m just concerned that conservatives will now crack down even harder on
marijuana to prove that it really will make you into a person from Reefer
Madness.
They’re basically discovering that smoking marijuana over long periods of
time (how much anyway? Like a chain smoker who goes through half a box a
day or just one joint in the evening?) will have the same effects as heavy
usage of alcohol and/or tabacco, only that their negative effects are
accepted while those of marijuana are frowned upon.
So why is rotting your brain with weed worse than destroying it with
alcohol? We know the reasons for banning weed are all well reasoned and
scientifically grounded and not at all supported by lobby groups 😉 I mean
the guy who advocated the banning of marijuana claimed that it would make
white women want to have sex with black men…
I just glad that people won’t be sent to jail any more for voluntarily
ingesting a substance that is relatively benign compared with even alcohol.
Legalization will also mean weed will stop being used as a gateway drug as
drug dealers will not longer be able to put harder drugs onto their weed
customers simply because drug dealers won’t have anymore weed customers.
Certainly there are negative effect to using weed, but just as with alcohol
it should be treated as purely a medical problem and treatment should be
given to those that need help, they shouldn’t just be thrown in jail.
most people smoke weed for creative purpose or because they feel low or sad
and they don’t want that…the same with alcohol,not for creative purpose
thought but to get a little bit of “balls”…at least that’s the feeling
they get because in reality they act like dumb ass douches(maybe not all
people but most of them)…
as Louis CK said crying is poetic…just think about this:If you have a bad
day and you’re sad, you might wanna get passed that with a little bit of
alcohol,maybe some weed to make you feel special. How the fuck did that
helped you?If you’d just embrace it and go trough it, your brain will find
a way out to make you feel better but by drinking or smoking weed all
you’re doing is making it confused,dizzy and you’re “giving him a false
smile on his face” + now we know will make you dumber…
and those who think that smoking blunt after blunt after blunt will give
them an amazing imagination and creativity…I don’t really think so, at
least in my case… For me it never helped,I was just distracted a lot by
thinking at stupid things. So I think that that’s the placebo effect that
they’re getting there. It would be nice to see a study on that…give to an
artist a fake blunt and tell him that it’s real and see what is going on…
In the Netherlands it is legal to smoke pot when you’re 18 years old. You
think it’s awesome? The people who smoke pot are also concidered losers.
I can’t take this study serious.. Obviously, kids who start smoking at a
younger age aren’t (most of the time) the smartest kids around. I mean, i
have tried it when i was younger and i know i was a fucking idiot as a kid.
And the people i hang around with weren’t (and still aren’t) the smartest
kids. Now, people that i know that started smoking at an older age, are
pretty intelligent people.. (in general ofcourse)
lol, so how long until blu makes a electronic joint? like the e cigs, but
with THC instead of nicotine.
Tobacco is harmful, but it’s not banned, is it?
Imo, drugs would be less of a problem if they were legal.
It’s better to handle it as a health problem than a criminal problem.
Mainly because you don’t have cartels & terrorist organizations making
their funding off it.
Plus, it’d ruin the excitement around its use.
hmm whats this then… it says here that 15 studies showed that it only had
minor affect on memory. and no affect on iq.

The US government delivers 300 grams of federally funded weed to several
pepole in the United States sense the early 80’s and they have not gone bat
shit crazy and still smart! The weed comes from the University of
Mississippi!
I get stoned and watch DNews to keep my I.Q up lol Blaze It
I was intelligent once…but I live in the Netherlands…so
yeah…deeeururruurpdgd.
When pot was illegal in all states, all I ever heard from scientists is how
perfectly safe it is, how it has no provable harmful effects, and how all
the “dangers” of smoking pot were just propaganda from the anti-pot
lobbies. As soon as it’s legalized, I’m suddenly hearing about all the
scientific data that shows that it’s really dangerous, and how all the
“safety” stuff is just pro-pot propaganda. Could you imagine if pot
becomes so legal that it becomes a big business like tobacco? We’ll be
bombarded with “truth campaign” ads telling out how the evil pot
corporation has been lying to us and brainwashing us, and their product is
killing people left and right, and how in a better world, it would be
totally banned. Maybe we should make it illegal again so it will go back
to talking about how it ought to be legalized.
“Welcome to Crazy-World.”
It should be legal. It should all be legal. I hate the stuff, I just do
not see how the government rightfully has or should have the power to ban
them.
i think it good to find out what the facts pot smocking are so we can start
getting over the myths and learn how we can us it for good
I smoke everyday and I’m so bright my mom and dad call me sun!
Thumbs up for marilizing legalijuana!
well the only way to get pot is if you know the right people, normaly low
lifes, thiefes, stuff like that. So by getting along with those ppl, u get
another attitude, drop out of school, never studieing

Terrible high impression at beginning.
Sometimes I love science and sometimes I hate it
Alcohol / Booze is still worse .. buy alot .. Booze can cause Anger ..
Cannabis the opposite. Do you ever hear about cannabis users beating up
their spouse? no no you don’t .. Medical Cannabis is far far safer than any
opioid / OXY / Morphine .. you understand .. and science? Depending on whom
is paying for said science makes all the difference. It seems huge
companies that are under attack .. o .. for example Big Pharma, Alcohol /
Booze, Pulp and Paper .. Cotton , . even energy is conducting so called
science. . Government .. opps .. I mean the “elected” people in
government are supported in elections by donations .. were do you think
this money comes from? Open Market? Many people think “science” is very
one sided. In Canada .. the Canadian Government in the last five years has
FIRED over 2000 .. just to keep things quite. The West Cost because of
JAPAN the ocean is dying .. Fish and Mammals were being tested and they are
over 50% of the radiation aloud in food. However Canada fired these
scientists. Shut them down. Alberta Oil Sands .. fired their Science group
.. and now have x oil people running the show. Double edged sword. Not
sure what to think about that word “science” any longer because science can
be used for good .. and bad depending again on which side you are on. I
wonder if there is ever going to be a science that is for the good of all
people. I think we should have a World Science Group that is funded by
all country’s and not Companies .. maybe then we could have Real Science.
If left in Governments hands .. depending on how the wind blows you might
.. or not get the truth .. Canada just shut down and destroyed there
Science Library’s with years of research .. gone .. because it showed the
world that Radiation from Japan .. Oil and manufacturing is causing huge
problems with in our Land .. our Food our People … WAKE UP ..
for the government yes more tax to “pay off” the huge debt. for the
population? not a great idea. the way i see it? the more pot heads in the
world the more opportunities I got in life,in other words less competition.
Just don’t be an idiot and start doing shit you will regret
now do the test with alchohol …. some die …… and the users get stupid
…
If you abuse any specif thing, it will have negative consequences…
I have been having trouble with asthma up until I started to smoke pot
occasionally (3-4 times a month). Based on science, one would think that
smoking would automatically be bad for the lungs and for asthma. Yet, I
barely have to use my medication for asthma now. Anyone else experienced
the same thing?
Still haven’t heard any deaths due to weed usage. Guess low IQ won’t kill
you haha
Yes very nice, keep updating about this news, but i would like to see some
good news too xD, also, also i think we need a lot of research for this,
because i actually did a bet, i bet that i would consume it everyday while
i was cursing college (5 – 6 years), a degree in human nutrition, and what
happened, well i ended up beign the top 3 on ratings and did social service
in 2 hospital, so i think it can affect you different depending on the
amount or the type or maybe your genes or brains, with research we will
now, but well i do recommend you eating it because thats how you take
advantage of all the essential fatty oil and cannabinoids (not only THC)
the plant has and it doesnt burn you respiratory system.
You know, of these people that have been used for said tests, I wonder just
how mentally “healthy” they were before they started smoking weed, said
tests would probably if not most likely be inaccurate, another thing to
mention is if they had used any other kind of substance in conjunction with
weed if at all or if they also drink alcohol on a frequent basis if at all,
another thing to mention is IQ tests are sometimes very inaccurate. The
study in question in the end really can’t be trusted for it’s “accuracy”
because of the circumstances involving mental health, use of other drugs in
conjunction with or separate from weed, and alcohol usage. More study
really needs to be done before any valid assumptions or even conclusions
can be made on the subject of weed, but in other words, “need more input”.
are they sure the 25 years study is right? and did they only smoke pot how
are they sure ?
Everything in moderation indeed. Even chronic consumption of wheat-based
foods can harm you later in life — yours truly is guilty of that.
I would much prefer if my father were marijuana smoker instead of
alcoholic. And I certainly hope that in a few next decades marijuana will
replace alcohol as a popular drug used to relax in a company of friend or
just escape from reality or problems.
I seems to me if a man becomes dumb happy stoned friendly smoker for the
rest for his life it’s WAY, WAY better than to be painfully addicted to
alcohol and not eve always able to make his way to the toilet.
Weed is as bad as any other substance that effects your body like tobacco,
alcohol, prescription drugs and illegal drugs. the more and longer you take
the worse its going to effect your body long term, its logic? If you smoke
a joint now and then it is not going to affect you much at all, but if you
smoke all day everyday obviously its going to damage something, probably
your wallet first though
This isn’t really surprising…..
I am a 4.0 College Engineering student who is a casual user of pot. Take
that you dumb studies for generalizing all pot users as stupid.
Legalize all drugs dummies, make life safe for everyone & take money out of
the smaller criminal gangs (the largest is the government), it’s the only
way.
well that’s odd, I’m a chronic and also a certified cnc
machinist/programmer, I do triganometry every day in order to create code
in certan applications for the machines that have parts with certain
dimensions. I think that the true fact is that if you are a lazy forgetful
idiot to begin with based on crappy genes then pot is definately going to
affect you as you cannot afford to get any fucking dumber, but if your
smart and have drive right out the gate then pot isn’t going to affect you
that much other than slow down a person and relax them after a stressful
day. I have smoked chronically for 17 years and feel like i get smarter
every day but that’s because i take the initiative to learn and that all
comes back to my point about genes, it’s the smoker not the smoke, fuck
your inaccurate studies!
I think its pretty safe to say that know-one knows shit about short to long
term effects of weed. These study’s are a start, but we need 10-15 years of
intense scientific research into the drug before we glorify it or denounce
it. Making weed legal is only going to perpetuate the research of the drug,
which can only be a good thing right?
when people smoke pot they do not give a crap about IQ .
and that works
too much of anything is no good.
btw, smoking screws your lungs and heart and by extension poor oxigenation
on all your body(brain also), alcohol dehidrates your body and damages
brain cells, not even gonna start on liver and all the medcinal drugs, even
soda is damaging ( having flame retardant or even acid enough to remove
rust) everything has a toll in our body
I’m no smoker of that substance but I see the positive sides of legalizing
cannabis, mostly in terms of lowering crime rate and crime affiliation but
also preventing gateway possibilities for heavier stuff better. Plus the
money that got into criminal organizations can now return to become tax
generated income everyone can benefit from (taxes are great!).
I don’t believe marijuana is bad nor alcohol, what I do believe is
moderation.
I dont smoke weed but that first study was horse shit
Working on getting my I.Q. down to zero over here
For the people that are against marijuana look at it from this point of
view caffeine alcohol cigarettes do the same thing to you overtime like you
said everything should be done in moderation I think marijuana should be
legal not for everybody but you know so it into action shots make it no
taxable and not accessible to anyone under 18 not saying that people under
18 won’t be able to get it I’m just saying a lot of shit will change and
the whole fact on that its a gateway drug its not a gateway drug the only
reason why it might be is because it’s in the hands of the drug cartels it
was sold in a store it would eliminate that fact think about it
