I've known quite a few older people who were lifetime pot smokers. They all ended up just a little fucked in the head. So much so I quit. Its a myth that pot makes you creative. I figured out how to be chill without it and the ideas I have now really work. While some people I know in my age group who still lean into it are not able to figure out or see the simplest of solutions. Its noticeable and I wish there was some way to study the long term cognitive decline of lifetime smokers. Dude can't explain how love is love. That its a personal choice everyone gets to make. Sounds like he doesn't want those kids to be free but be some version he has to approve of.

Weed does not cause homophobia. Give me an effing break.

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

You made that leap of logic yourself. I was implying that habitual smoking makes you prone to idiotic thoughts. Hmmmmm.

It's all starting to make sense. Excessive marijuana use makes people gravitate toward conservative ideology. Man are all those old hippies going to be upset when I give them the news.

Apparently I need to add this: /s

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

If that makes sense to you then you don't know any lifelong pot smokers.

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemmy.world 0 points 20 hours ago

theyre gonna feel so dumb for not gravitating toward conservative ideology then we all laugh because it proves they were fake tokers 😂

Yup, same. I know some people that really seem to become less sharp with prolonged pot use. There is no free lunch, all drugs, when taken regularly, fuck you up. But, at the end we all die, so I'm going to enjoy a beer and a smoke every now and then. Just don't make it a habit, and when in any doubt, do less or quit.

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah, I've smoked a few times in the last five years. Less then five times. Usually in a social situation. Its the wake and bake dailies that will harm you. I really don't miss it. I was self medicating past abuses and as soon as I confronted them I didn't need it anymore.

[–] LH0ezVT@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago

Ouch. Yeah, the self-medication is a big problem in our society. Congrats to working your way out of it!
