Guys,
I smoked pot for 24 years. I don't anymore. It was what it was, when it was.
I've been exposed to a helluva a lot of info about this, and the OP is just as full of SHIT
as those that say pot will make you go crazy, lower your IQ, etc....
Is pot less harmful than crack, or smoking? Yes.
But would you rather get shot with a BB gun or a .354 caliber weapon? Or not shot at all?
ANYTHING that triggers (I might misuse some terms, but I know the gist is right) the pleasure
centers in the brain leads to harm. The brain's ability to regenerate the receptors required
becomes atrophied, leaving you in a constant state of depletion. You stop, your brain
eventually comes back to normal (that's called neuroplasticity).
Also, it leads to a fairly dull existence, when I think back. I'll probably smoke again,
once in a while, but I don't really care when.
Smoke, don't smoke pot, it's your choice. Just don't believe the hype from EITHER side
of the issue.
