if you feel like your intelligence is diminishing then maybe you were never intelligent, marijuana will not make people who are smart dumb. not only am i a good example (i study between 5-8 hrs a day, and have NO negative effects in any way), but also the thousands of students, professors and scholars living in academia who smoke marijuana.

If I were to take your spelling/grammar into account....then yes. But my fear is that you were already lacking intelligence and the weed has had no effect what so ever.

No weed doesn't make you "dumber". It just makes it more pronounced. Same with laziness. I can veg out sure...but I'm by no means a "lazy" stoner.

i was never good in spelling just so u know, my spelling kinda get messed up when i was a teenager when txting was a hype and shortcut was used more prominently, im just curious i think my memory sometimes are diminishing in some other ways like with words i tend to forgot. but then i think planting marijuana made me learn something more a lot than just feeling dumb sometimes, its part of science and art combined. i just want to know how u guys feel about it and how do you anyone handle it to keep on top of ur game

anything that is attributed to smoking marijuana is already a predisposed condition of the consumer. hope you can understand that.

^^ very well said.

with that in mind, marijuana does not fuck with your memory, there are many reasons why things were not remembered properly, and none are marijuana. you never forget anything, ever. once you know a word you will always know it, although, it could be in a seemingly unreachable part of your brain, ie. preconscious, and the unconscious. there are many ticks to improve how well you remember things, idk if that's what's concerning you...

like they said weed only enhances your true personality, i can smoke a gram to myself before work and function like a normal person. if you are lazy, it makes you lazier. and if your stupid your just fucked, plain and simple. as far as actualy killing your brain, no thats all propaganda bs by the governmet. the real reason it killed brain cells is they pumped the test monkeys with 61 joints of "Columbian" strength marijuana in a period of 4 minutes. i'd like to see you hold your breath for 4 minutes and not kill some brain cells.

I'll let you see me hold my breath for four minutes if you let me see your 61 joints of "Columbian" strength ganja first.
 
First of all on the weed makes you lazy. "When I was on weed I didnt want to go outside and play with my son" was the argument I got once, I told him he was a lazy pos from day one but that its good he can play catch with his son now. To me the question is does knowledge(intelligence) increase sorrow?

all current studies show that it has no effect on intelligence or brain function when you stop smoking pot. Also its not any more addictive than video games, tv, or the internet, less so for the majority of users. When your high your mind will work differently, superior in many areas and inferior in others, but that is temporary with the high and in my experience never makes one dangerous or illogical as if they had consumed alcohol.
