> Several other recent studies have reported similar results. For example, an Israeli study of over 67,000 older adults reported that participants with a history of cannabis use “performed better across all cognitive domains: attention, executive function, processing speed, visual and working memory. … Additionally, past use was associated with a slower decline in executive function.”https://communitynewspapers.com/featured/study-lifetime-cannabis-use-not-associated-with-cognitive-decline-or-dementia-risk-in-older-adults/
>>16925113Biggest bullshit I've ever seen. Anyone that has had experience with habitual weed smokers know the retardification that happens with time. Of course, it depends on the base levels of IQ, but the wall is approaching anyways if using every day.
i love weedi love studying physics and math highi have a phd in eebut, man, my motivation can be pretty low when not partaking, and it's hard to find a job that doesn't mind their researchers being baked

Weed with dream foods? concentrated fruits.>>16925150You have to get in there and hit the whiteboards with an idea or YouTube videos before you have more weed and drown.

>An Israeli study
>>16925130this basicallyit's not the weed, it's that society is still largely too conservative for it and even though it's "legal" almost everywhere now, it's still taboo as fuck to most people, especially if you're not from commieforniaweed does help juice up my intuition and I just operate like my brain is overclocked, especially on sativas, it also helps me get over my introvertedness and be more social which helps when I'm trying to explain shit to my coworkersbut yeah having to take tolerance breaks or go without it at times makes everything flip the other way and I'm super dysfunctional without it, which is definitely showing a dependency that I have on itbut like, I dunno, it's not that big a deal if that makes any sense lolif it was I would just quit I guess

>>16925113science says if you cut off your penis and breasts and take in loads of hormones, your life will be saved, but you have to do that as a child
>>16925129Modern studies do everything possible to make you question your own life experiences. They are worthless. All these modern studies have tons of flaws that no one bothers bringing up. Small sample size, bias methods, irregular testing methods, odd criteria. It's just a litany of bullshit.No long term weed user has EVER become smarter. The smartest thing they'd ever accomplish would be realizing they wasted their entire life and money smoking weed and making it part of their personality.
>>16925113>an Israeli studykek
>>16929150Sure, the methodology sucks. Remember how it reads "with a history of cannabis use". Doesn't matter if the guy just smoked it once or twice in his life. For some reason, people will now believe that their roommate who is addicted to it and smokes it everyday does not suffer from cognitive decline despite putting his shoes in the fridge.That is the exact same script medical journals play everywhere;Medications are safe because the ones harmed by it stop taking it so they drop out of the study.Vaccines are safe because we're comparing them against an unvaccinated sample which turns out to be at least partially vaccinatedEtc. >>16929123You're brain damaged from all the weed you smoke. And like most brain damage patients, you don't realize your disability. It's why you believe you're more "creative" and more "social" because you mistake your exeuctive dysfunction for proper social skills.
>>16929268No, it's based on objective measurements over the years, not my subjective evaluations based on vibes. You're wrong, but it's also obvious you're ethically invested in your side and just want to virtue signal and act neurotic. You've already resorted to trying to discredit me with ad hominem, so this is the only reply you will get from me.Thankfully, I'm not "brain damaged" enough to get baited into a wasting my time debating my position with a disingenuous unhinged shitposter trying to insult people they don't agree with, acting like a childish prick for literally no reason at all.
>>16929442This is clearly a bot generated message which immediately retorts to a string of deflections once the bot has been critically engaged with. Note how the bot writes unnecessarily long comments. It's indicative of a ChatGPT framework.

>>16925129>Anyone that has had experience with habitual /sci/posters know the retardification that happens with time.
>>16929268>For some reason, people will now believeInteresting in regards to your own post and it's similar extrapolations in the other direction, which are also not based in reality.
>>16930334>it's similar extrapolations in the other directionThere is no extrapolation when the data clearly suggests so. To confer doubt by making it seem like that the ground is level is itself disingenuous.
>>16930571>a retard wipes his ass so I can use it as evidence against a smart person
>>16930585Yes.
>>16925113Correlation != causation. I smoked weed because it made me dumber, in fact. Reality is a drag.
nah smarter people are more likely to smoke or just try drugs because they're more interesting for them
>>16929268You are assuming shoes in the fridge is a stupid thing to do.Hypothetically they could slow the growth of bacteria that sit after your feet leave them.
>>16930589>Correlation != causationSometimes correlation = causation.
>>16925129Exactly >>16928792Stupid thing to say. Do you not think people who choose to smoke weed all day and do nothing else are dumb because of the weed? You probably think the Kardashian show is some dangerous phenomena that made a whole section on young women unintelligent from some frequency it emits
I'm really too intelligent, that is causing me a lot of problems.Smoking weed is essential to me, I can reduce my enormous intelligence to more human levels.
>>16925113>Israeli study shows weed is good for youSo it's bad for you? I thought some research from the millions of retarded Americans smoking weed after it got legalized in that one shitty state showed that it was pretty bad for various reasons.
>>16925113>For example, an Israeli studydude lmao
>>16925113Anything that gets you high is bad for your brain.Smoking weed, sniffing glue, whatever.>but this (((study))) says...don't care.
The hate on drugs is kind of immature. If you have to go out of your way to prevent someone from analyzing their own internal cognitive processes, you’re kind of a massive asshole. Psychology is the softest science of all. It’s practically magic. How dare you. The prices to pay are left to the imbiber. They consented. It’s their own doing.
>>16931744Because they are soulless robots and you are arguing with a fucking algorithm.
>>16931664Defensive much there, eh Carlos?
Maybe in small amounts, but doing it all day everyday for years fucks you up.
>>16925113>Researchers reported thatStopped reading
I got baked and went down an ai rabbit hole and managed to string a random hunch about graph theory into a wild discussion about holographic entanglement entropy, static patches, linked observers across the universe, black hole islands conserving information, etc. All verified with research papers. Can't help but note the vague woowoo mystic undertones associated with the full theory. Thats annoying, but data is data. Im baked right now. Weird ass universe.
Cannabis is not like Melange
>>16925113Sigh. The "limitless" pill is Adderall. Stop trying to push anything else to the goyim. We already know better.
>>16925113Hmm now that cannabis has become increasingly legal across the world I wonder who stands to benefit from such a study...Aah I'm probably just making up conspiracy theories again which never turn out to be true.
>>16925113bet it's related to oxygen intake. cannabis users have bigger lungs. more oxygen to the brain m8. seems pretty simple to me
>>16925113Retarded.
Only with casual weed smokers and alcoholics you will see this kind of aggressive knee jerk defensiveness about consuming a drug that debilitates you from accountabilityWhat's more pathetic your average weed smoker knows that once he's high he's restrained from many activities that would render him legally unaccountable from doing soYour average weed head thinking that taking something that practically simulates mild CTE and doing that over a period of decades every two days and especially during formative years when they still have the capacity to learn A FUCKING SKILL is fine while simulating mild CTE should be criminal People before 2015 or what ever year this horrid supstance was legalized were not stupid and there was a good reason why it was criminalizedAll your cancer trials failed, all your long term studies about the long term effects of it pointed to abnormalities in lower parts of the brain, every cannabinoid disrupts sperm production and turned millions of millennials into cat moms and dads
>>16925113Fake ass data

>>16925113>Weed makes you smarterevery single person I know, or have known that did, or does weed is a waste of space and a failure.
What really makes you smarter: olives.
>>16931741Yeah i guess that the high itself means the brain is actively beeing damaged>>16940335Only if from a good soil so it has good minerals. Olive oil is overrated.
>>16925113Have you met the average stoner? They're more retarded than your average drunk.

>>16940175/thread
>>16925113I only smoke at night and I've found I can remember memories in vivid details that my friends who don't smoke forgot. They are smart people, I'm fairly smart too, but honestly I thought I'd be more retarded by now
>>16925113>history of cannabis useWhat does this mean?Occasional use over a long period of time? Ie once every month or few months? I can see this being true as it decreases inflammation and could hypothetically help with once-in-a-while use to relax neural stress or something.I can guarantee daily use 100% ruins your memory, motivation and your mood regulation at minimum. Also >Israeli studyKek

>>16929123Same here, i only do sativa concentrates and once you get over the goldfish brain its a better mood improver than any of those SSRI's everybody's on these day's
>>16925113Recently (~6 months ago) started smoking daily and I'm definitely more retarded than usual. Worse focus, time management, comprehension, and a cloudy head while I'm sober. Cut down to once a week and already seeing improvements.Stupid drug for stupid people.>>16943446>hypothetically help with once-in-a-while use to relax neural stress or somethingCan't you do that with meditation? It's definitely harder but there's no downsides>>16943473>>Smoke weed when engaging in thoughtful activityThis is how I started and then I ended up watching TV. It's destiny.
>>16925113Bullshit
>>16925113weed opens up my filters for perception. If I am doing something that suits that, like exploring a botanical garden, or improvising jazz with other musicians, it's great. if I'm in a social situation that I don't really want to be in, or trying to do a mental task which involves a lot of holding on to different pieces of information without getting too distracted by any of them, being high is not helpful at all.Idk if it makes me any smarter or dumber long term. I think it makes me more introspective, which can be good or bad depending on the person I guess. Being high and just brain rotting sounds awful, I have to do something really engaging when I'm high.
>>16925113no it doesnt lmao
>>16925129Toupe fallacy. You've noticed this happen in obnoxious frequent smokers but not the people who take it quietly and infrequently.I take THC oil bi-weekly for creativity and relaxation and it benefits me greatly. That said, this study needs controls.
>>16947712>THC oil bi-weekly for creativity and relaxation and it benefits me greatly.You sound like an insufferable faggit.
>>16947765You sound flawless.
>>16925113Weed amplifies. If you’re smart it helps you Explore ideas. If you’re not you will just be lazy
>>16925113>Literal jewish propaganda claims weed makes you smarter Lol they don't usually make it this obvious.
>>16947777Yes that's why there are such brilliant thinkers that got their ideas from weed such as...
>>16935476Weed is Soma. Every government on Earth pretends to be against it while allowing it to become increasingly legal. Potheads are fucking retards so they see this as a signal that they're being rebellious because the governments of the world say they're against it while it keeps becoming more accessible.
>>16947712Do you prefer oil or edibles?
>>16943477Idk bro, I've been a daily cannabis user (heavy) for 15 years now and I havent watched Tv at all in a decade.Weed or no weed, I can't even force myself to watch the thing
