    Holy shit that is priceless, one of the harmful side effects is magical or "random" thinking. Wow, wouldn't want anyone reading this webmd description of marijuana and randomly thinking its a load of bullshit.

    Seriously dude who are you, Richard Nixon?

    Just posting a few facts from the website. You conveniently skipped over some:

    • Distorted sense of time
    • Paranoia
    • Magical or "random" thinking
    • Short-term memory loss
    • Anxiety and depression

    Heavy marijuana use lowers men's testosterone levels and sperm count and quality. Pot could decrease libido and fertility in some heavy-smoking men.

    Contrary to what many pot smokers may tell you, marijuana is addictive, at least psychologically. Even among occasional users, one in 12 can feel withdrawal symptoms if they can't get high when they want to. Among heavy pot smokers, the rates of dependence are higher.

    Many experts also believe that marijuana is physically addictive. Symptoms of withdrawal from pot might include:
    • Aggression
    • Anxiety
    • Depressed mood
    • Decreased appetite

    Just trying to educate a few losers about marijuana. And yes, if you use marijuana, you are a LOSER. No doubt about it.

    Ok first, Aggression? Really? I mean maybe if you are a bag of funyions. The rest of those, maybe for some, and if so don't do it. For others it is completely harmless and actually helpful. Don't be so sanctimonious. Peanuts kill more people and put more people in the hospital each year than weed does, (which is never for weed btw) let's ban peanuts.

    You sit on your high horse claiming ALL people who smoke or even have smoked weed to be losers? How ignorant and judgemental of you. Not to mention not true. I could fill up 100 pages with a list of people who have enjoyed tremendous success and lived happy fulfilling lives who smoke or at least tried weed. Maybe you should educate yourself on being tolerant and judgemental. You have a lot to learn my friend....

    You'd be surprised, Hoss. Make your case, then. How is pot smoking not a victimless crime?

    When anybody talks about "withdrawal" from pot, I know that they are completely full of bull. That website was written by somebody like you. There are tons of contrary scientific reports out there, but you would not read any of it, would you. Let me summarize . . .
    • Distorted sense of time -- yeah, kind of like having a couple of beers on Friday
    • Paranoia -- Only because possession is illegal!
    • Magical or "random" thinking -- This is starting to get really funny. Chief, I was born thinking magically random thoughts. We call it imagination. "Puff the magic dragon, lived by the sea . . .
    • Short-term memory loss -- I had a good response for this, man. Really. Give me a minute and it'll come back.
    • Anxiety and depression -- To the contrary pot is an effective medicine for anxiety and depression, thus sufferers often take it.
    Science tell us that marijuana is not addictive. "Psychological Addiction" is an untestable concept without meaning.

    I dare say I have known more pot smokers than you and this is simply ridiculous.

    How unfortunate that none of them have been able to prove this scientifically.

    Well said Red. Those who rail on about the "demon weed" are willfully ignorant. It is only different from booze in that it is illegal and has fewer bad effects. Actually it has more positive effects than booze. It is a more effective pallitive and appetite enhancer than any man made drug, that is why it is prescribed for many ills.

    I am tired of those who equate its use with thuggism...and even more with those who are so holier than thou about those caught using. Have the same reacttion to those caught for DUI. They are doing the same as those caught for pot. Get over it!
