reefer madness?

[Very Veronica]

LONDON (AP) - New findings on marijuana's damaging effect on the brain show the drug triggers temporary psychotic symptoms in some people, including hallucinations and paranoid delusions, doctors say.
British doctors took brain scans of 15 healthy volunteers given small doses of two of the active ingredients of cannabis, as well as a placebo.

One compound, cannabidiol, or CBD, made people more relaxed. But even small doses of another component, tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, produced temporary psychotic symptoms in people, including hallucinations and paranoid delusions, doctors said.

never used the shit!

But I have observed the differences in peoples behavior .. that do use .. and it does run the gambit .. from paranoid to just mellowed out .. way out ..
My ex girl friend .. need it just to stay on a level kilter, I liked her more when she was a little mellowed out from her normal hyper .. and paranoid self.
And then with others i can see that it just does not agree with them .
As for me .. i can go from paranoid to delusional ..and down to mellow .. with out any drugs..

Paranoid? Whenever I come down from the buzz all my cookies are GONE! I think the MAN is taking them!

 

[citylover]

Smokin'

I have gotten carried away by the green stuff in the past and Im sure it wasn't pretty...

yup used to smoke all day everyday...now that I think of it I believe I must have been quite something to laugh at for the people around me that didn't smoke.

I couldn't open my eyes, I couldn't talk properly cuz my mouth was full of "pasties" ewe...

lol can't say I quit entirely...

I smoke once a week because its nice late at night when Im alone to smoke and go for a long walk...listen to the ocean waves....

I do get paranoid and avoid meeting with anyone because I know I am not my witty self but I can say its a hobbie that Id like to keep once in a while

I say don't be so hard on yourself if you smoke a little.....just remember not to get carried away and become so lazy you waste your life away!

CL in case you need it, here is another I thought fitting,{ in a good way.}

That's so old school. This one's from 2005:

 

[old pooner]

A lot of my smoking experiences (and they are vast) could be summed up in the Kinks song "Harry Rag"....Harry rag, harry rag
Do anything just to get a harry rag
And I curse myself for the life I've led
And roll myself a harry rag and put myself to bed

 

[citylover]

That's so old school. This one's from 2005:

depends on if you want your movies straight or on the rock(s)!

I smoke once a week because its nice late at night when Im alone to smoke and go for a long walk...listen to the ocean waves....

&, another good reason, is that smoking only on occasion makes the high sweeter

 

[john5]

i find that smoking consistently mellows the high from any state of paranoia and instead you can have everyday be blissful with consistent marijuana indulgence.

Because I Got High Lyrics


I was gonna clean my room until I got high
I gonna get up and find the broom but then I got high
my room is still messed up and I know why
- cause I got high [repeat 3X]

I was gonna go to class before I got high
I coulda cheated and I coulda passed but I got high
I am taking it next semester and I know why
- cause I got high [repeat 3X]

I was gonna go to work but then I got high
I just got a new promotion but I got high
now I'm selling dope and I know why
- cause I got high [repeat 3X]

I was gonna go to court before I got high
I was gonna pay my child support but then I got high
they took my whole paycheck and I know why
- cause I got high [repeat 3X]

I wasnt gonna run from the cops but I was high
I was gonna pull right over and stop but I was high
Now I am a paraplegic - because I got high [repeat 3X]

I was gonna pay my car note until I got high
I was gonna gamble on the boat but then I got high
now the tow truck is pulling away and I know why
- because I got high [repeat 3X]

I was gonna make love to you but then I got high
I was gonna eat yo pussy too but then I got high
now I'm jacking off and I know why
- cause I got high [repeat 3X]

I messed up my entire life because I got high
I lost my kids and wife because I got high
now I'm sleeping on the sidewalk and I know why
- cause I got high [repeat 3X]

I'm gonna stop singing this song because I'm high
I'm singing this whole thing wrong because I'm high
and if I dont sell one copy I know why
- cause I'm high [repeat 3X]

I remember..... you get to the ATM to tap your pooner fund, but damn the passcode #'s just won't come, you try various combinations, nothing works, the minutes slip by and before you know it--- you are just another johntard.

...an' wondering why the ATM keeps shooting out cans of soda pop at your crotch...

once

...an' wondering why the ATM keeps shooting out cans of soda pop at your crotch...

I was holding my cell phone pointing it at the tv.. and wondering why I could not change the stupid show that was on... lol.. I cant smoke pot.. not any more it hits me so hard.. and then I just feel like a goofy teenager all over again.. I like to be sharp, and on top of things. Pot just makes me lose track of what I'm doing and foggs up my head. Years ago, I used to smoke tons of it...
