[POND_OF_RED]

I was worried until I realized the side effects were only found in casual smokers.

When you're stoned....you forget shit.

end of article.

The results don't really come as much of a surprise, and completely jive with my personal experience. I quit smoking pot since I felt my motivation and focus were being affected even when I wasn't stoned. Since I stopped, though, I haven't felt affected. Point is, it would be more interesting to have these people stop smoking for a year and see the result. I don't think it is as 'permanent' as they think.

Never heard of 'amotivational syndrome' before. Funny.

Going to pop open another one of my health drinks I call beer now.

My worry is we haven’t studied this compound and here we are looking to change legislation on it.

How interesting, the timing of this study. Political agenda anyone?

All I know is, I never smoked pot but I had a lot of friends who did, some more than others. Granted, it's a small sample, but they've all quit due to work reasons, it's illegal, whatever. They are all successful, well rounded people. It short, the pot smoking they did in their teens and twenties does not seem to have had an adverse affect on their ability to live happy, productive healthy lives. None of them are brain dead or overly forgetful or whatever.

That's my scientific study.

I could say the exact same thing about drinking insane amounts of alcohol in late teens and early 20s.

Except outside of your own personal experiences, alcohol has a much higher death rate than marijuana.

In fact, I don't think I've ever heard of someone dying from marijuana use.

Nope. Pot can only cure cancer and make rainbows. It's impossible for any sort of bad thing to happen from using wonderful weed.

True but alcohol is even more so that way.

Is that a GIF of Clay eating his Winstead's burger?

According to what I read in D.C., pot is a miracle cure-all for every illness.
