The Negatives of Smoking Bud

IN MY EXPERIENCE:
I can tell you right off the bat, I've been smoking since October 06, and in just 6 short months I have lost most of my sense of short term memory. I can barely remember what I did a day or two ago and that kind of bothers me.

My short term memory was NEVER good even as a young kid before I did any kind of drug, but it's just worse then ever. To combat this problem I usually carry a small pocket size memo pad and pen, jotting down important things during the day, assignments, phone numbers, reminders.

So, my questions for you stoners are:

What are some negative effects of marijuana that are getting you?

What are you doing to combat this (if anything) ?

 

parinoia.. end of story..

 

Short term memory loss, and sketchyness.

 

the biggest thing for me isnt memory loss, stupidity, laziness etc.

it's my fuckin throat, prolonged smoking has definatly damaged it, not to mention im sure i have very poor cariovascular health

 

thanks man you just reminded me that I gotta bring my world history book tommarow or I get lunch detention. haha I put a stick not reminding me that's on my tooth brush but yeah short term memory loss and sometimes I make weird facial expressions or something that I did not do before I smoked. Also if I smoke a lot then it makes everything seem boring and pointless as if I did not smoke a lot generally that stuff would not bother me....then again when it comes to mowing the lawn and my dad giving me 5$ for doing it I become very motivated lol cus then I have weed money

 

Well, it's pretty funny that you would say that. Because in my opinion there is nothing negative about smoking. (Except for paranoia.) I've been smoking bud since i was 11 years old. And for the past 4 years i've been smoking everyday. Bud has made my life better, and it has also helped me concentrate better in school.

The definate positive's are that you are 95% less likely to get alzheimers when your older, and you are also alot less likely to get glaucoma as well. My long term memory has been sharper than ever. Although, my short term memory has been bad. Although, even when i was younger it was terrible.

 

back when i did inhalent(didnt know they could kill me at the time) anyway, I experianced alot of short term memory loss. It went away though after about a month though.

 

For me it's just a bit of short-term memory loss. But not much of that, since I only smoke at weekends (and even then I don't smoke much). However, I haven't smoked in 6 weeks now and I can definitely see that my short-term memory has improved.

I don't really get paranoid or anything, except for occasionally when I'm high; but even then, not that much.
My motivation is the same as it always was.

 

I really enjoy pot. And in fact, the only negative thing in my life which is related to pot is having to deal with other people's disapproval of my habit of smoking... My memory is good, it is rare that I get paranoid, I still lead a productive life... But because weed is also a big part of my life, I talk about it a lot and have to put up with people's changes in attitude around me.

 

the only negative i've experienced with moderate use is people treating me like i'm dumb because i'm high. nigga please

 

1.) It costs money (haha)
2.) It doestn affect me socially in English, but Im on an exhcange trip right now, and although im fluent and can speak wihtout problems, when im stoned, I tend to have a harder time starting conversation/being interesting/bonding with others/strengthening relationships. what i mean is I just dont talk alot in German when Im stoned, and then i feel broing. but in Egnlsih im fine, I talk a shitttttttload.
3.) Poeple judge you because you smoke

 

The only negative for me is definitely the short term memory loss. I never get paranoid even when high, I don't care if people judge me, sure the money is irritating, but definitely the only negative I've experienced has been the short term memory.

 

No negatives for me except the sleepiness... Maybe the lungs too :\ You gota give something to get something i guess. I love weed

 

for me:

panic attacks
paranoia
short term memory loss
psychological addiction
coughing, hacking, black stuff in my throat/lungs
legal trouble
finger and mouth burns
munchies
expensive prices
red eyes
burnt out

 

Definatly memory loss, but I only smoke weed after work, and my life is so repetative from day to day that I need weed. I also don't get much done at home, becuase I get lazy.

Oh yeah. MUNCHIES. Last night I ate a hamburger, two ice cream bars, 3 sodas and some toast. It makes me fat.

 

Yeah I didn't think of that one munchies are brutal for me. . . . .


some of you have seen the picture of me with the cheese doodles.....

 

getting them munchies and being tired on the flip side.

 

1) my memory... is a peice of shit
2) it puts me up inside my head too much... even when i'm with friends.

 

I don't get paranoia or memory loss usually so that's a non-issue. The only thing that I notice to be negative is other people's opinions of it and when I smoke frequently/daily and then abstain I get really bored and sleeping gradually goes back to normal. I hate the boredom thing though and I'm not sure if its a coincidence or what but I'm definately bored as fuck rightnow.

 

feeling a lil dumb sometimes after the high fades away, paranoia, cotton mouth like a motherfucker.., lazyness
