> Hey,
> I just wanted to say that many super successful and intellectual people have smoked significant amounts of marijuana in their life... consider the 60;s generation, who consumed enormous amounts of illict drugs, and then preceded to run america... i dont think u need to worry at all.. ive spoked to a neurologist about this who says that all marijuana does is impair short-term memory....
> bpsbut many people cannot handle pot. they just can't, and the examples of people that can and do wonderfully really takes away from the people that can't. maybe there is an underlying neurological condition that makes one succeptible, or the more libertarian-friendly explaination, maybe psychological predispostion (i.e. their fault, and "not my problem"). i think we need to realize that some people cannot do well with pot.
its just like alcohol. i am not advocating the prohibition of recreational drugs. i wish there was special attention beyond studies using our current methods that can deny that there are problems relating to anything. as with in my case, what has ruined my life, but i don't know what it is, and has no diagnosis, just shoulder-shrugs from supposed professionals.
