I've smoked dope for a long time and I do think that it can have some negative affects and like all drugs, it affects different people differently. I know guys who smoke daily and are high performing businessmen, accountants, engineers, etc but then again, I know guys who live in their mom's basement and never amounted to anything because all they do is smoke dope all day. Then there's the chance that weed can really fuck your head up and this has been documented in the scientific community and I started a thread on it called "
The downside of high", which you can find
here..
As for me, I think smoking pot daily makes my mind fuzzier and I forget things, I"m just not as sharp. The most recent example of this would be a few days ago when I took a boat to a remote island off the Pacific coast of Colombia, I had bought a big bag the week before and was smoking daily but finished it off the night before I caught the boat. Then I got to the island and realized,
"fuck, I forgot to buy some weed!", thankfully I scored some on the island but it was bunk.
Due to drug testing I don't smoke while I'm working (well, rarely anyway) and I find that I"m mentally more sharper when dealing with clients and co-workers. Again, my point is that it affects everyone differently and you should realize how it affects you and consume accordingly, just like booze, sex and greasy cheese burgers.
