Just in case you haven’t heard the news, some righteous dude researchers in Saskatoon claim that cannabis might build up your brain ratehr than break it down. Or something like that. I forget.
Here’s the link.
Here’s a quote. Note the last bit.
I smoked it quite regularly back in Canada. But not now.
I do believe that marijuana can be used as a performance enhancer in some respects. Like on the job (depending on what kind of job that is).
I found smoking weed relaxing but that I led a more boing life. Didn’t do much. But that might just be me. Other people smoke it and can perform in areas that require high concentration and use of the brain. Like performing calculations and so on. I found that I wasn’t able to concentrate too much on things like reading, etc. and that my mind would wander.
Maybe really strong pot triggers something else and brings one to another level where memory is improved. I found smoking pot affected my short-term memory in a negative way. Long-term memory was, however, good. Maybe that’s what they’re talking about.
I don’t know about the paranoia thing. The weed I smoked in BC (British Columbia) was really strong and it made me uncomfortable. I was socially aware, too aware, of all my surroundings and I would think of saying something and, in my mind, talk myself out of saying it fearing critical responses of the other people in my surroundings. Like in a room watching TV or at a party. Again, that might have just been me. I learned how to control this fear later on as I got older.
quote from the last paragraph of the article:
That’s one thing I miss. It makes you feel better when you have a hangover. Depends how much you drink the night before though. Alcohol is pretty strong.
Another thing is driving. The first time I drove (in Quebec) was really difficult because I was so paranoid. Then I got used to it. I thought, “How can anyone really tell or prove that I’m high on pot.” It doesn’t affect my driving skill at all. It, in fact, helps me drive better. Certain things are easier, and can be done better, on pot. Playing sports, driving, skiing and snowboarding. These things are made a littel more interesting when high and a person really gets into it. I, however, and much more inclined to not smoke pot when playing sport, skiing, etc. because they are fun for me in themselves and I don’t need pot.

You won. Almost never had someone to return my comment so well! :bravo:
If I was a dealer, that’s what I will tell my clients.
My product will make you smarter the more you use it on a regular basis.
The competitors version of my product will probably make you paranoid.

That would be an excellent entrepreneurial tactic. Like a placebo effect. Not only would they try your product, but your words alone would fool them into thinking they were becoming more intelligent. Then they would tell two friends and so on, and so on… You could tell them that you use some sort of special, safe soil or seed or something. Perfectly natural with no added chemicals.
There are no doubt some pot smokers back in Canada smokin’ it up even more to justify their habits. And dealers feeling all proud and talking about this newly found discovery. I know one guy who grows/sells. I can just hear him. I’m laughing right now.

Well, apparently I am a genius now due to past marijuana consumption. Might as well play the part.
If marijuana makes you smarter why do they call it dope. If it were trully the case, I’d be a genius but I’m not. I’m a hack. That’s why I smoke to feel like a genius.
Beer makes me better looking.
The more a lady drinks the better I seem to look to her.
Go figure. 
That’s what we call beer goggles TC. My wife is fairly myopic and when she’s got her beer goggles on she’s totally blind; suddenly not even Brad Pitt would stand a chance. I don’t know what strength beer goggles your wife uses, but I suspect they have to be carried in a tanker.
Studies have shown that a child will learn simple things faster if the mother was using the stuff moderately during pregnancy.
Pot made me smarter too. What is this thread about again? If I could remember, I’m sure my enhanced intelligence would enlighten any and all readers.

Mrs. Cowboy does not drink.
My reference was to my pre-nuptial canoodling activities.
Like the song goes…“The girls all get prettier at closing time…”
and…
“I went home with at 2 with a 10 and I woke up at 10 with a 2…”
All in the past now.

I’d imagine it’s for the same reason they call alcohol “grog”.

So she has to deal with the full horror on evey occasion TC. She doesn’t like produce a paperbag each time and say," Honey, just slip this on your noggin’ I’ve cut in eye holes and a nose."
If it makes one smarter, why do people still get busted? 
You should pipe up and work that one out for yourself Stan.

Where’s me pipe?
You hid it so you wouldn’t get busted. Try to think back.
