The other day there was a show on SpikeTV or Comedy Central not sure which but it was a spin off of Michael Myers "Super Size Me". The movie is a documentary that follows a pot smoking comedian for 30 days of not smoking pot or drinking alcohol; then 30 days of smoking pot from the moment he wakes up till the moment he passes out.
Sitting through this mildly funny documentary waiting for him to get funny and be super high, I started thinking being HIGH every min of everyday for 30 days. What better sign is there that you are screaming for help. Recreational drinkers and smokers are one thing please don't get all mad at me saying don't bash the pot head or the guy that has a beer or two. I am jes sayn 30 days every waking min!
So the 30 days sober comes to an end and this guy is saying how he thinks at the end of the 30 days high he will not want to smoke ever again. WRONG! This buffoon scored 200 points higher on the SAT test while stoned. Ran longer on the treadmill at a higher rate. Scored higher on a host of medical stress test showing he was in better health than before the 30 days being stoned.
So now I am curious. Does or government just cover up the benefits of pot because it comes along with a high?
Is there an emotional problem that comes up from smoking that much?
I think the premise is a load of bull...very skewed, pushing an agenda.
There are those that demonize pot and occasional usage and then those that on the other end of the spectrum try to show it as this wonder plant that even with massive usage makes this guy SO MUCH better. *cough*
Yeah, pot...cures cancer, makes you smarter, better looking and even removes tough ground-in stains. Get real. lol.
Anyone that believes for a second that this guy was WAY better off mentally etc. being completely stoned has a huge bias. My roomate (and good friend) after college was a BIG pot-head and had a ton of pot-head friends. I've seen enough heavy pot users to know that they are NOT smarter when constantly stoned...among other things...
I'm not saying it doesn't have benefits with moderate usage...appetite benefits for some chemo recipients is one example....just saying that ridiculous claims like in this "documentary" have been floating around for years. The fact that they don't hold up to scientific scrutiny is dismissed as "big pharmacy" not wanting this "miracle drug" in the public because it can't be patented and profits made. <sigh>
For sure I think it was biased. As to the medical benefits. I do believe it has some uses. I also think it should be decriminalized. Nothing major just a change where possession under an ounce had no penalty. I still think sales, and distribution should be kept illegal to curb rampant crime.
It seems to me smoking that heavy would have a negative impact on your relationships.
