For those who smoke legally lol... Does it make you smarter? I really think it does... Everyone that I meet that smokes it legally.. Are A and B college students.. Or are out of College with decent jobs.. Why is it Illegal? It makes no sense.. It really opens your mind.. If you don't like it.. and don't want to do it.. that's cool.. but a lot of people like it, and aren't bothering anyone else when high.. I mean seriously.. What's the problem?.. People say hey they will crash a car.. 90 percent of them are too lazy or scared to drive.. and it would stop many people from drinking alcohol and smoke instead, which is more safe.. What's the deal? I wanna look at the starts, in a state like the ancient people of times.. and be spirtual.. feel it.. I see the sky.. I count the stars.. wishing.. pondering .. We sttrive to know all.

I've never met an avid pot smoker that I'd consider even remotely smart. They all think they're smart, but it's all an illusion.

I wouldn't say it makes one more intelligent. Hallucinogens such as LSD-25 and Psilocybin can however I think. Steve Jobs said taking LSD was one of the most important things he had done in his life and Francis Crick who after finding the structure of DNA to be elusive managed to deduce it from taking LSD, and those are just a few examples of people that have come forward, I would bet many more never disclosed the fact of them having taken such compounds.

After LSD, everything else is just a buzz. ;)

Marijuana regulates the Alpha Wave, which is associated with creativity. It won't make you smarter, but it may allow you to see things from a perspective you've never considered before.

LSD, on the other hand, will introduce you to ideas you may not have wanted to contemplate in the first place, especially concerning reality. That's where most people get bad trips from: they start thinking too seriously about sh1t instead of having fun and enjoying the ride and it becomes a self-reciprocating bad experience.

I read that as "Do you think Canada actually makes people smarter?"

Yes. Yes it does, just by being a country.

large amounts of weed in the form of edibles can be very intense and give a very trippy feel. definitely see things a little differently after that

drugs can certainly open you up to new perspectives of life and reality. if you try to deny this then it is obvious you have zero experience

thats is bs and just a pathetic excuse. yeah pot heads are really smart, haven't seen the first one. The best they can argue is that is medicinal for some people which i partially agree (being medicinal for some people doesn't mean free use for all pot heads)

There's a difference between a person who's high 24/7 and a person who just uses pot regularly.

Everyone that's smart that I meet smokes.. and all the idiots are people that are sober.. :s...

OG_LIP

I'm not a "hater" of marijuana, and won't go around to people and tell them they shouldn't smoke it, but I can say that I had a friend who smoked marijuana, and he dropped out of high school. Idk if it was the cause, but it sure didn't help him out. Now if you look at me (someone who's never even touched a joint, but it's not like I "avoided it like the plague"), I'm just ending my first year of college, and will be starting my second year later this year. I'd say the person who's only smoking marijuana because they can't find a way to have fun without it is pretty damn stupid :P. But I wouldn't call someone who's smoking it to make something that's already fun 10x "funner" stupid.

Reading this guys other posts, I would agree with everyone that he's a troll.
