What are the downside effects of smoking weed everyday of the

Based on my previous experience it becomes very difficult to sleep without being stoned.

>>727663573
>side effects of drug usage
Addiction. Why aren't you on heroin yet?

>>727663573

Its not that easy... everyone is different.
Ive smoked daily for over ten years... I was a nationally ranked strongman (on ESPN twice, prob wouldnt know me) and am about to break six figures in a technology based career.

Some people turn in to the sterotypical stoner, some dont. The ones that do would probably have been just as lazy if they never smoked weed.

>>727663727
Was a heavy smoker quit to be a cop you are basically have a hard time eating and sleeping with out it only got like a week tho

>>727663573
I smoke weed every day, but i also work out for 2 hours everyday.

Weed still has physiological effects on me though. Makes me paranoid and very anti social.

So nothing other than effecting my sleeping and eating, nothing that would effect athletic performance?

>>727664008
Also, despite being incredibly handsome and well built, I haven't fucked in 3 years. Mainly due to weed induced paranoia.

>>727663573
A day without weed

>>727663843
Nice achievement to have been ranked twice, didnt see a change in lifting or conditioning while heavy (weed) smoking?

Weed causes brain dmg and destroys your psyche

>>727664066
Weed only really has psychological effects.

>>727664066

Nah... (>>727663843 here). If you go to the bodybuilding training boards, theyll go on about it raising estrogen, but even if it does, it would be minimal. Technically drinking bottled water or eating food warmed up in a tupperware container does too, because of phytoestrogens in the plastic. Its not worth getting worked up over.

I smoke to relax and unwind... not to escape from problems or whatever. Im in a medically legal state, so I can get strains that give me the effects Im looking for. You start to learn what ones work best for you... some make me paranoid, so I avoid those. Some stimulate appetite, some knock you out... my favorite strains are Tangie or anything from the Sour Diesel family. Both leave me alert and active but relaxed.

Your arms switch sides, your toes fall off, you begin to hallucinate, you'll forget your dad's name, and lose your keys twice a day.

Mostly just that it becomes costly and you'll be lazy not getting much done

>>727664308
I'm not trying to contradict you but doesnt some research say it damages your lungs cause thats what im most paranoid about

it's all person to person

I smoke when trying to be productive because it helps me concentrate. I hear for most people it's the opposite. Everyone is different, I guess.

>>727663573
Grey matter separation leading to mental health disorders and complications down the road

>>727664586
Any smoke/particles can damage lungs.

>>727664233
No, but I ONLY smoke in the evening to unwind before bed. I dont do any wake and bake or stay high all day stuff. I kind of use it like medicine.

Honestly, between my training schedule and work schedule, I think that it helped in that I dont think I would have been able to relax as well without it. Nothing fucks with recovery like stress and lack of rest/sleep.

If someone smokes in the evening and is paranoid during the entire day, they probably have underlying psychological problems and are blaming weed (knowingly or not).

>>727664586
I'd you're worried about your lungs then stop smoking, period.

>>727664586
I'm actually laughing at the fact that you're scared it's gonna fuck up your lungs. Smoking weed will do no more damage to your body than drinking a soda.

It will affect your short term memory and could lead to amotivational syndrome.

It will also lead to some great times and otherwise impossible thoughts.

>>727664765
So per se a month of smoking every week 2 days of break, how badly would it effect my lungs?

>>727663727
never had this problem, but I've had friends who say they have. You should expect shortness of breath if you're inhaling smoke every day

>>727665097
But that's wrong.
Like any SMOKE it damages your lungs.

>>727664586
>smokes weed, noted for causing paranoia
>gets paranoid about weed effects

Not really paranoid, just worried for my lungs and progression athletically.

>>727665253
I know but in my experience, I haven't noticed any difference in breathing. It just screwed up my memory.

>>727664243
so does 4chan

>>727665328
Oh shit my bad should I pay a fine for the misuse of the word?

>>727665097
drinking a soda is actually harmful to you. It has tons of chemicals and artificial sugars, marijuana won't do as much damage, maybe some to your lungs.

>>727665465
No you should continue sounding like a fucking idiot if that's really what you want.

>>727665149
A day in a big polluted city is akin to smoking 20 cigarettes a day.
People who get lung cancer are GENERALLY those who smoke like 3 packs a day for 40 years.
A few weeds here and there isn't doing a thing to you. Source? My own Doctor and my friends wife who is a nurse on a terminal cancer ward.

>>727663573
down side is thc is metabolized with/through fat, and your brain is built of like 90% fat. so if u smoke a lot your brain will deteriorate in some way. Ive been really heavy smoker for 6 years.. and I do sense I've become dumber logic wise, but smarter emotion wise.. i havent smoked for a while now and i dont plan to start doing it, but it feels both like its perma dumb dumb but at the same time its slowly coming back.. hope u follow, or this post just proves my point haha!

Dependency and lung damage, if you do it excessively it can induce psychosis every time you smoke.

you will train your brain to only release serotonin & dopamine when you get high
when you try to do things sober, you'll be lacking two vital cognition chemicals
can affect your ability to learn, remember, sociability, anxiety, etc.

REEFER MADNESS!!!

ITT things u heard from kids @ church camp that aren't backed up by scientific studies

>>727666582
you can find studies to back up anything

TBH it's inconclusive. Some say it does, some it doesn't. On a personal level, it does for me but everyone is different. I'm a paranoid mess on it but others enjoy it lol

>>727665769
Yeah, but youre forgetting that personality also comes into play here for how it affects the mind. There is no universal rule for anything that marijuana effects everyone the same. Although I do agree nothing good ever came from taking something in excess over prolonged periods of time. An example being vitamin overdose. Even though vitamins are 'good', everything in moderation applies or youre fucking something up in your body.

>>727666323
>citing sources on /b/

theres enough broscience and absolute bullshit being thrown around in this thread. People don't want to do actual research, they want to believe whatever their burnout stoner friend tells them so they don't feel bad about their shitty habit. I'm not doing work for these losers. Look it up and do your own research.

fag.

Cannabis grower here and recent alcohol withdrawal victim. I've been smoking for years and fell the opposite of most. Started smoking at 13 and actually lost 80 lbs in 1 year from walking around 6 miles a day and smoking to keep be from eating out of boredom. Use to weight 272 then dropped to 190 lbs in 1 year. Today i weight 178 lbs with a little gut but big arms, legs, and back. As weord as it is, since i stopped drinking alcohol, i get a rapid icrease in heart rate, mild sweating and pailing of the skin, dry lips that crack, and tremors EVERY time i take 1 hit of my own. I had alcohol withdrawls after a int a day of jack daniels for 1 year.... never drank often before then, but i went crazy. Feeling like life is shit and I've been sober from drinks for 41 days. I hope things get better because the sober life isn't for me and i HATE pills and alcohol (< now) and I miss my weed! some of my outdoor cookies and cream from exotic genetics. Had to shrink file to 2mb so picure is shorter...

shit makes your dick smaller, real talk mane, yall white people are good at computers and golf but yall got no knowledge on weed so listen man that shit make your dick SHORT AS HELL homie, dont believe me? go to the hood and ask a nigga if that dank make his dick short smh lol and see what mans say, niggas be smoking dat good green then be all depressed when they see they got micropenis then start shooting niggas and shit cus fuck having no dick man

>>727666827
I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who already has a mental illness. Cognitively healthy individuals have nothing to worry about.

>>727666890
I already posted scientific studies proving the IQ myth is bullshit but keep babbling about your intellectual rigor, double fag.

>>727664066
I smoke weed before cardio for my knee pain.
Knees still hurt, but I dont care.

preach homie, white people have no clue how weed can fuck up a mans life

>>727663573
Prolonged continued usage can lead to anxiety issues.

>>727666890
Actually cannabis effects the endocannabinoid receptors I.e CB1 & CB2 receptors... look those up you cocksucker.
>Inb4 damaged brain cells
The study that came from was a heavily botched test from the Reagan administration and nancy Reagans "JUST SAY NO" program. Where they suffocated monkeys with gasmasks and gave them irreversible brain damage and within 2 months death... fuck off you uneducated cunt. AND I DON'T EVEN SMOKE ANYMORE!

>>727667149
This. Initially it's a great stress reliever but too much and too frequent usage can have the opposite effect. And it can persist years after you quit. Don't take my word for it, go listen to old heads. They'll tell you about hitting the wall. Even George Carlin famously called it a self limiting drug.

You can't dick around with your brain chemistry forever without consequences. Luckily weed's consequences are comparatively safe but that doesn't mean anxiety attacks are any fun.

>>727667037
whats the point if it doesn't do anything lmfao

>>727666916
Being this dumb... NO good cannabis comes from ghetto trash. I've learned this, if you want the best go to a collective you coon!

>>727666947
yes I think this was the issue with me. not just weed, other substances hurt too but weed was the one which really sent me over the edge. these days i smoke it incredibly rarely and always on my own lol

you googled "marijuana use doesn't lower IQ" and posted "studies" which you didn't even read. The first article only showed that an original study done was flawed in ways. The second article you posted is just pure sensationalist autism.

Notice how you posted links to the Washington post and Science magazine. Not actual studies. kill yourself

>>727667483
He just explained it. The pain doesn't bother him when he's high. You know how pain sucks? Image if it sucked less. There's your point.

Instead of fighting why not spend time more productively researching whether or not it effects the lungs over a period a time and post opinion on that, maybe then you two might agree on something

>>727666947
Agreed, but the trouble there is latent schizoid tendencies are a thing. And they're called latent for a reason. You don't know you have them until something provokes them. And unfortunately once that particular genie is out of the bottle it doesn't go back in. It's not something that most people are going to have to deal with BUT there is good data that suggests that there is a significant overlap between the type of personalities with these latent disorders and the type of person most attracted to the notion of using drugs. So if you find the prospect of weed smoking to be interesting, there's already a non 0 statistical chance you are one of those people more so than the next average person.

I'm just saying be cautious. Pot is a frivolity. It's nothing to build a self definition on or to wreck your shit over.

>>727667586
You're right, the opinion of some faggot on /b/ definitely carries more weight than any actual studies. You're an idiot for thinking the websites are the ones conducting the studies and not just reporting studies conducted by reputable institutions btw. Maybe you should read the articles.

>>727667586
Again, stop being a retard. Look up the endocannabinoid receptors function on the brain. If you say pills or alcohol are better please kill yourself. Pills WILL fuck you up 20x worst then cannabis! Most "stoners" you know are probably pill poppers or drug mixers. Fuck off cunt.

>>727667483
Basically what he said.

As someone who smokes a lot of weed, it can be addictive depending on the person. not a lot but like how some people need coffee to wake up in the morning after doing it for a long time, if you smoke weed before every meal and before going to bed doing so without those things can become worse. exercise and sleep, healthy diet helps a lot though for getting the best out of drugs while remaining semi-healthy. Also get a vaporizer or make edibles rather than smoke it's hard on your lungs.

>>727667838
those kind of websites have been shown time and time and time and time and time and time and time and time and time and time and time and time and time again to be irresponsible in their reporting. The writers already know what they want to say and pick snippets from a variety of studies to "prove" their point. It's obvious that anybody who posts them to try and prove their point posted the first google results which came up.

>>727664586

If you are scared of damaging your lungs, just use a vaporizer. I have some lung issues similar to asthma and little to none cilia ( the tiny hairs that push mucus and tar out of lungs). Cilia are usually destroyed by smoking. Since I started vaporizing I have seen no ill effects to my lungs, actually more of an improvement in my lungs.

>>727663573
A year ago I increased my weed intake to an average of one joint a day. This was to cope with a depressing time I was going through and some health issues. I don't smoke tobacco, drink alcohol, or do any other drugs. Here's what happened.

>last month went to dr (annual physical), during the breathing test I was told my lungs sounded perfectly clear
>depression has reduced significantly, but increased anxiety
>dreams are either weird or blank
>hard time getting hungry when not high, and lost weight
>always been antisocial, and am more so if anything

Basically it. No other obvious effects that I can think of.
