Reefer is Worse Than You Think, Says Psychologist

lol Reefer.. that term needs to make a come back.

Yes, along with “Mary Jane”, and “Jamaican cigarettes.” It’s hard to say which term I prefer more.

People say this, but in reality most people I meet who regularly smoke weed have to be high most of time just to function and not get "anxiety" (aka avoid psychological withdrawal).

I am sure you’re correct. Heavy users are masking some other problem. For every one person who says “I smoke a bowl a day and I am a high-flying executive making million dollar decisions every day, reefer is harmless”, there are probably hundreds whose lives revolve around getting baked. And I’m sure that wasn’t intentional, it happened gradually overtime, until they can’t imagine daily living without the haze and depressing effects of marijuana.

Truth. I have wasted wayyy more time on letsrun than I have smoking weed. Don't regret the weed. Regret most of the time I spent scrolling letsrun.

increased proprioceptive awareness

used properly, it is a long term performance enhancing drug

can be used to increase one's athleticism

What. Are you telling me I should get high as a kite before, say, a boxing match? After all, if reefer increases proprioceptive awareness, repeated huts from e bong should make me a veritable fighting machine.

Your response is just DUMB/childish

WHAT!!!!??? High as a kite!!!!???

Repeated huts!!!!????

I tried edibles recently, first THC in 30 years. It's not for me, uncomfortable, too much introspection and self criticism. I think I need more of a benzo/opiates vibe.

I smoke before most workouts and take an edible gummie at bedtime.

Cannabis works for some not for others.

One needs to be understand what they are using, is it sativa? is it indica? is it a hybrid?

I only smoke sativa and have no use for most indica's

Set and setting matter as does what's the intent?

Cannabis has been used for thousands of years

No, my response is entirely logical. The previous poster stated that marijuana enhances athletic performance by increasing proprioceptive awareness. Therefore, it would seem to be a sound strategy to ingest as much reefer as possible right before a boxing or MMA match. I mean, this could be a new strategy for fighters everywhere.

If you had proprioceptive awareness, you could tell the difference between your middle finger and ring finger.

I’m not telling you to do anything.

You realize Mike Tyson smoked before fights? I think he was an ok boxer?

Not sure what you meant by this. Productivity argument? You mean that weed makes people lazy? Maybe. I just hit my vape and ran a 5K this morning. I had a good time and set a 3-year PR.

Everyone with half a brain knows how terrible weed is. It's no coincidence that areas with legal weed are now awash in homeless burnouts looking for their next high. If the weed isn't available, they move on to more serious drugs like bumblebees, goofballs, etc.

The funk, the disgusting smell, should have been obvious that the crap is not good for anyone. That it alters one's brain chemistry and is a gateway drug is one of those duhhhh moments.

Sure reefer is bad, but what about hooch? What are you, a square?

Shut the fck up.

yeah, how did all that weed work out for Mike? argument will be, well, imagine how much WORSE it would have 'straight'...

using Tyson's traumas (for real, going back to childhood) to bolster your stoner dude, man, pass the bong bro propaganda is weak.
