So, based on your personal experience with weed, you have formed an opinion that all other people should not do intellectual work while smoking weed regularly?


Do you have any idea of how retarded that sounds?

---

What do you propose that i base my opinion on shit without having tried it? You know how retarded that sounds?

I knew that there are going to be "i can handle it" backlash when I wrote the original post, and how retarded does that sound, basing opinions on how it affects yo, right, right?

WTF did you expect, people posting objective scientific papers on how cannabis affect people differently based on genetic makeup of the subject, kind of cannabis and THC / Cannabinoid ratio e.t.c.?

EDIT:
And I did't say that people should't do intellectual work when they smoke cannabis regularly, I said that people that do intellectual work should not smoke cannabis regularly, big difference, and I stand by my statement.

you sound like a christian when you tell them god doesnt exist
you should form an opinion on things based on multiple experiences, from multiple viewpoints, otherwise you will just butt heads with everyone over trivial shit

I've actually found that my short term memory and concentration skills have dropped since quitting smoking regularly...

I don't. Because for me it's fast becomes a habit of spending all my free time smoking weed and watching movies. Nice as it is I have other shit to do.  And it messes with my ability to concentrate, like next day it takes me much longer to read, understand and remember shit. So I decided to keep away from weed and generally formed an opinion that people doing intellectual work should not smoke weed regularly. (based on personal experience).

this is how i fel about it as well. i'm an on/off smoker. ideally; i don't smoke during the semester. if i do smoke, it quickly turns into a habit that empties my pockets and drains me of ambition. i still love it though. i envy those that don't need to use their minds.

i smoke every day
i consider myself an intellectual
i also consider myself to be above average
im an engineering student finishing 3rd year, and going into an internship
My last report card had 1 B+ on it, the rest were all A's
before that, same deal
and this semester probly wont be too much different
you just gotta prioitize your shit, i dont smoke until im done everything that has to be done, and after that its bowl city!

I've enough anxiety/paranoia as is. I don't need any more. I don't even like doing anything remotely illegal. Victim of a "wrong-house raid".

I really should have sued the city for all the trauma it's caused. It's such a shitty situation to have people screaming at you with guns pointed at your chest & head while others are yelling "Clear!" in other rooms and snagging innocents down to the floor while you listen to them cry and babble like children not to die.

I'm all set for now.

I propose that you don't base your opinion of what other people would experience while high on weed based on your personal experience of the same.

Is this concept really that difficult to understand?

Obviously, some people can do "intellectual" work while high, and others cannot--to say that just because you cannot, then neither can anybody else, is ridiculous on an incredibly large amount of levels.

And some people get by fine getting high regularly and doing intellectual work.


BTW, I don't see the difference between "people should't do intellectual work when they smoke cannabis regularly and "people that do intellectual work should not smoke cannabis regularly".

I react similarly in the way that i cannot prioritize and act upon the important things in life when stoned all the time, however, I think it all comes down to your mental stability at certain periods in your life. If your life is overwhelmed by stress, or your unsettled/unsure about the future, i find smoking weed just grounds you in that position, keeping you partially satisfied when high and in doubt when not; which can obviously turn out badly. Although, I'm currently in a secure relationship with a good job and a home that i own, so smoking cannabis just puts me moreso in connect with my inner happiness.

I'm glad I noticed this... I always think to myself "I wonder if people like commercial drivers, airline pilots, high-up governmental types tend to trip more than others cause they get watched when they piss"...

I guess some do..
