What speech effects are you talking about though? My speech is exactly like it was before I started(9 years ago). As for lung effects this can be avoided with the simple use of a butter or vaporizer. | ||

Computer Engineer Data Infrastructure Engineer Software Developer Professor of Information and Media Studies Elementary school teacher Director of Educational Technology Thats just off the top of my head. The DEA states that nearly 50% of Americans have used cannabis. The only ones who will admit it publicly are often people who don't have anything to lose from being connected with an inappropriate stigma. The rest are the silent majority. | ||

Like I'm hackin on the ground gasping for air if I take a respectably big hit. Anyone have any idea whats wrong? Weed costs too much to smoke more but it's good for relaxation and I hate having to dread the coughing. Do I have weak lungs or something. cough to get off | ||

I don't know anything about a vaporizer, but I do know that inhaling particles for long periods of time is terrible on the lungs. And all my family that smoked cannabis for long periods of time had really poor speech afterwords. Slower speech, much less articulate, hard time concentrating. Also a lot of people that smoke marijuana, younger people around my age, have this certain look to their face; the seem darker maybe under the eyelids. It's a pretty distinctive unhealthy look. | ||

The only long term effects I'm aware of are lung problems caused by smoking plant material. Vaporizer or eating butter doesn't cause damage to your lungs. I've never heard of anyone have speech problems as a long term effect from smoking weed. My eyes are dark at the bottom, it's from my allergies. | ||

Either way, while I love my marijuana and I support its use, you shouldn't go around saying there's 0 long term effects (besides the lung problem). There's evidence for and against, that's the bottom line. It's up to you whether or not you want to use it. What I can say with certainty is that it's an amazing drug and it shouldn't be under its current legal classification. As long as you're aware that it IS a drug with potential long term effects and that it IS illegal (in most places), you're fine. | ||

I have a ton of friends who smoke everyday and many of them have slurred speech and they seem a little off. But then again, they take just about every drug I can think of. Yeah, it's probably the meth that screwed them up. Either way, while I love my marijuana and I support its use, you shouldn't go around saying there's 0 long term effects (besides the lung problem).

Bad speech can be so many things, particularly being currently intoxicated. Most side effects are from the method you use your dope not the THC itself. I think you will have a very very hard time finding proof of THC causing permanent damage to your speech because that is simply false. | ||

Lawyers, judges, police, doctors, scientists; these people are often the silent cannabis users. When I started using cannabis I had a circle of friends who smoked everyday. They went on to the following job titles: Computer Engineer Data Infrastructure Engineer Software Developer Professor of Information and Media Studies Elementary school teacher Director of Educational Technology Thats just off the top of my head.

From my experience it's pretty simple. Those that do it and are for some reason proud of it (seriously, it's smoking a plant not the french revolution) are always complete and utter twats. Those that do it in secret arn't. Hence I would like it to stay illegal just so that I personally can spot twats by the smell of their cloths. | ||
