crimson i get your point, but it sounds to me that this ex of yours had alot of stuff going on with him and weed was just the tip of the iceberg. yes smoking weed does make you loose your judgement for a period of time, but it all depends on how you handle yourself when you are high on it. and how much you consume. i mean for me prob .4 of a gram would be enough to get high to the state of relaxation, and 1 gram would prob make me not think straight anymore. but i never get violent or do stupid shit (i do say stupid shit sometimes when im really stoned but thats about it). plus again age is a factor, how old was your ex when all this was going on, how mature was he to begin with. i mean if you are immature and inconsiderate of others then smoking weed would only make you worse. plus just like alcohol some people are just not cut out for it and should not use it. unfortunately those are the people that usually end up using it more and more till they get completely out of control. also i play ren when im high (thats why my join mesage says intoxicated at work lol), and i react pretty fast i would say. having said that i would never get high before or during work cause i really cant fuck up or its going to be a very big mess.
and since you said it was a 6.50$ an hour job for an assistant manager i would say you guys were pretty young back then.
also no offense but i hope you pick them better now if you know what i mean.

On a positive note. In my higher (AP by American standards I think) English class there is a girl who smokes weed before she studies (she studies for 3 hours a night). She was telling me it helps her get in a relaxed state for absorbing the information. She gets full marks for most of her work as well.
I once got stoned and crunched through a page of fractions in maths in half the time it would have taken me normally.
And weed does impair judgement, but not in a reckless sense. It'll make you more nervous about certain things, make you think over a choice before you make it. Think twice about who might be on the phone. Judgement can be returned to a sober stage when high through experience.
Despite that fact I like weed and use it regularly sometimes (with month gaps in between). I'm not sure if I want to see it legalized. There is something quite attractive about it being illegal, like a forbidden art if you catch my drift.
this is more common than the self-diagnosis of asperger's in the goon population how is it obsCURE FUCKKK

1) Could she have a so called "Photo-graphic mind" or a higher level of intellegence? This would account scientifically for the higher marks.
2) You do not state if your crunching was correct?
3)Nervous! More like paranoia and that leads to a lot of nasty schnittzel.

1) I think it's something to do with her studying for 3 hours a night. She just uses Tetrahydrocannabinol for relaxing herself and allow increased concentrate on her studying.
2) They were all correct.
3) It can make you paranoid as well, but that's controllable. I meant nervous in the context of "I'm too nervous to drive to the shop incase I crash the car in my current altered state of reality and perception"
Also the paranoia shouldn't have hugely negative effects other than said person feeling uncomfortable for the duration of the high.
And on another note, I don't really like most of this stupid stoner culture that most teenagers on the internet are part of. This includes people who think they are part of the Rastafari movement.

Exactly my point. It's morally not the right thing to do, therefore it's illegal. Morally, at least in my eyes Marijuana is bad. However, people are stupid and will do as they please.

Okay, so then you don't drink coffee or pop, do you? Any energy drinks?
Caffeine should be morally wrong, then. So should alcohol. Hell, anything that changes your perception, how your body reacts should be immoral, then. Gatorade, Red Bull, and Coca-Cola should all be banned. Morning coffee? That's immoral, too.
Honestly, I think that drinking caffeinated beverages is more immoral than smoking marijuana. You're putting a lot of synthetic crap into your body. You can also die of an overdose of caffeine. Caffeine shuts down your central nervous system.
whoa.

Here's one way to look at it: If you can offer something to a child in good faith, then it's not immoral. If I offered pop to say a 6 year old nephew, I wouldn't feel bad at all. Sure, they may get a bit hyper, but that's all. Would you feel good offering a Marijuana Joint to a 6 year old? I know I sure wouldn't. The thing that I think people who want Marijuana legalized forget, or possibly don't care about, is the children. If this was a fairytale adult-land, I wouldn't give a rats ass if you want to be a degenerate window-licking pothead in your own home.
If you put that into a child's atmosphere, then they'll think it's okay to do.

According to the video, the law hasn't stopped you before, so what's stopping you now? If this war on drugs is losing, then sit down right in front of a police officer and light one up.

Beer and ciggs are legal. Apparently those who smoke or drink beer don't care about the little 6 years olds

Those are immoral in my eyes. By the way...you haven't offered beer or cigarettes to a 6 year old have you? I updated my post before I saw you quoted btw.
