Sadly, this is true. I've done some research on the culture of getting high in Europe's past in order to justify my vice but the sad thing is, it's not something that was common in Europe of old. There are some examples of smoking hemp but that variety of hemp had no psychoactive qualities and only served as a means to overcompensate for the absence of regular tobacco.

Is this proven? With out all prejudices and stereotypes, I read a study recently that said weed links words together in the brain, it’s a psych active drug and there’s a lot going on neurologically, we don’t know enough to make objective statements, or critiques, but hate it all you want I guess, pussy. Since race is common topic, maybe that’s why so many black people rap,

Didn't have any problems with comprehension, but it definitely impaired memorization in my experience.

It's not that it links words specifically, but rather that it increases apophenia and decreases inhibition. So stream of consciousness becomes much easier, even if the content of that stream makes precious little sense. It can make you more creative if you already have intellect/talent to work with, but it won't make you smarter or more articulate.

Source?

A source. I need a source.

Sorry, I mean I need a source that explicitly states your argument. This is just tangential to the discussion.

No, you can't make inferences and observations from the sources you've gathered. Any additional comments from you MUST be a subset of the information from the sources you've gathered. You can't make normative statements from empirical evidence.

Do you have a degree in that field? A college degree? In that field? Then your arguments are invalid. No, it doesn't matter how close those data points are correlated. Correlation does not equal causation.

Correlation does not equal causation.

CORRELATION. DOES. NOT. EQUAL. CAUSATION.

You still haven't provided me a valid source yet.

Nope, still haven't.

i figured. i actually gave up on creative writing and literature as i left high school because i was disillusioned by my "honors" classes being nothing but added work for "bragging rights" (which they would reiterate to themselves everyday)
modern academia is largely trash. i told myself i'd go out and live my life (drugs and alcohol included) so i'd have something to write about.

>The result is that much reading robs the mind of all elasticity, as the continual pressure of a weight does a spring, and that the surest way of never having any thoughts of your own is to pick up a book every time you have a free moment. The practice of doing this is the reason erudition makes most men duller and sillier than they are by nature and robs their writings of all effectiveness: they are in Pope's words: "For ever reading, never to be read.”

I second this. I have noticed slight memory impairment but nothing about decreased reading comprehension or intellect in general.

But like what the other guy said it is different from person to person. Some people probably become borderline retarded.

Like you said if you have no creativity or talent it won't give it to you. It's much the same with psychedelics and other drugs - if you aren't open to it you're not going to have a good time - you won't automatically gain some third eye from doing them.

But that’s what’s so bad about it, it doesn’t make you less intelligent so if you’re smart you see less reason to quit while the destruction to your working memory is turning you into a different kind of retard. Also the average stoner is completely insufferable.
