worried about weed damaging you in a different way

[sillibilly]

i think it's deffierent for everybody, but if you are worrying then there is probably a reason for it. if your posting about it there may be a problem for you.

i smoked every day through high school and had a great time, had a joint after work and before bed when i started working. then about two years after i moved to the city - i took major paranoid mood swings and every time i smoked a joint got really nervous and figgety...mega paranoia!!! not good. so i stopped.

one of my best friends was 18 when he was diagnosed paranoid shizophrenic because smoking hash released a chemical in his brain which caused an imbalance. (To me he wasn't a PSchizo he just needed a break from smoking) but he stabbed his dad and got taken away by the men in white coats and was sedated for like months...

Paranoia is fun if you can see through it but sometimes you can't if your too wasted and life beaomes a chore. In answer to your question - yes i believe it affects everyones mind, in different ways and i congratulate you for having the sense to explore each avenue which you could end up in...

in saying all that, i can now enjoy a smoke but am much more picky about what i have and with whom.

are you asking me?

Unlike fags, weed affects the mind, yeah well im worried about permanent/short term effects on the mind. Will it affect my ability to learn, will my grades slip?. Thats the sort of shit I think about.

grade slipping? no no no. it is much easier to do work while high. (just as long as you know what your doing.) ive been getting better grades ever since i started smoking.

the Movie "How High" will answer all your questions about grades.

Edit: "how high" or "half baked". im not sure i just know its the one with method mand and redman in it

That one is "How High"

the last two weeks of gr 11 my gf and I were having some problems. I spent the entire week stoned, wake up blaze, go to school, blaze at break, blaze at lunch, blaze after school (my grandparents, who I lived with, were on vacation). I did more work then than I normally do

i never noticed any grade or memory problems, the only thing that changed with me is i became a lazy useless dope who sits around and watches tv for hours. lol ok maybe not that bad but i have gotten a lot less energetic since i started tokin
