Getting high on pot makes people vulnerable to false memories

They've come up with a reason for that, has nothing to do with pot. Has to do with going into a new room which the brain interprets differently.

Nope, didnt save a link. But it made sense when I read it. 'course I was high when I read it. ;)

No, it was a real study and did make sense.

I'd believe that but my memory improves every time I quit MJ. I think I've simply done it for too long.

Interesting.

OTOH, you kind of confirm it...that the effects would wear off if they wait until the person is straight. (Not sure of the timeframe, probably depends on how often they get high too)

Definitely, I smoked 3 times a day. For years I was a once a day smoker when weed wasn't as potent, but now I'm like a surfer. I build a tolerance up super quick. A shame, because it really did help my arthritis and sleep.

I grow my own and have yet to grow enough to become intolerant of da weed.

I grew years ago with HPS-400 and was a member of Overgrow.com. Got some seeds from another grower that was a cross of Blueberry x White Widow x Kush. The most potent stuff I've ever smoked to date. One hit would get you high for 4-6 hrs, and I mean blotto.

I know! I also used it for neck pain and sleep and did start developing a tolerance :(
 
Same here. Now, it's legal here and I use it sometimes, in tinctures beneath the tongue, for neck pain relief or as a sleep aid. With more options, there's more ways to explore and see what works and how it affects you. Indica makes me seriously nauseous and I stick to sativa products. And some are more hallucinogenic, some better for relaxation. It's been an interesting journey. Found I'm not that into hallucinogenics and go for mixes that minimize that.

And not addicting, at least not for everybody. I just stopped for several months because I was looking for a new contract and didnt know if I'd need to take a piss test. (Didnt). Had no problems stopping.

I am boarding a new account, and will be having to take a drug test. I don't use that stuff to begin with, but I would not mind it being legalized, and getting it in tincture form, for the same reason you are using it for.

Yeah, if it's not a real super 'high' it's not going to draw a person that much. I think a lot of the older users might still be stuck in the old days and use because it USED to be illegal ? LOL

Well, I'm an older users...50s...and I tried many times in the past, smoking or bong...and it never really did much for me. Esp. smoking because I dont like inhaling smoke. It just never seemed worth the $.

But now I've experienced many different things, different types of highs, strengths, timing of when the high hits, etc based on ingestion method and blending.
 
Can you trust an eyewitness while they're high, or should you wait until they sober up?

Disclaimer: I only smoked pot once, but did not exhale...

The truest answer to the OP's question is: If the eyewitness was high when they saw the 'event,' then the most accurate recollection will be given when they are high, even if they have been straight since then. Contrapositive, if the person was straight when they saw the event, the most accurate recollection will be given when they are not high.
 
I'm 70 years old. Some evenings I sit out on my deck and smoke a joint. But I've made my money and I'm not driving a car anywhere.

back in the late 60's I was much younger and in the NAVY. I worked on aircraft. I realized right away that I couldn't do my job and also smoke pot. I might get somebody killed, maybe even me. So I stopped smoking pot. I stopped for the next 45 years. Had to earn a living for a wife and four kids. Pot would be a hindrance. Not to mention illegal.

I taught high school. The daily student pot smokers usually were too mellow to worry about getting ahead, and couldn't much concentrate on school work. Trouble for most teenagers, they can't know ahead of time if they are going to be the occasional user or step up to daily use. It creeps up on them. And they forget things they shouldn't forget, like fairly simple math or how to spell common words. Sometimes they would say,"I used to know that." But mostly it robbed them of any ambition. Not all of them, but a lot of them. The story of grown kids living in their parents basement has a lot to do with pot.
 
You need to realize that pot is a very dangerous drug
Stop it : you will badly damage your lungs and brain.

Easy workaround; change-up the strain(s) you are using every few days, and use the absolute minimum necessary to achieve the desired results. The more that's ingested, the quicker a tolerance develops, and the longer it persists. It only takes a slightly different molecular structure to 'fool' the body, and any change in strain is seen by the system as a completely different and new substance to develop a tolerance to.

Everyone is different, but personal investigation has shown that if strains are altered every 3 or 4 days, no tolerance develops to any one strain in particular, and effectiveness is not diminished. It even works when patients re-medicate the same day or within a few hours; changing strains attenuates the effectiveness. The mindset that MMJ produces cumulative results and effects in line with amounts ingested like alcohol is tough to break, but MMJ is more like a light switch rather than a volume control; once the desired effect is achieved, additional medication is largely innefective and wasteful.

Not sure I can afford that but I appreciate the info. I can maybe do some of that.




This is the barely coherent and grammatically inept speech of a man who desperately wants to be able to claim that he "cured coronavirus."

That's it, in a nutshell. When we do get a handle on this crisis, he wants to be able to pull out footage and declare "I called it! I said use this! I said try this! I told them to do this, it was my idea!" He's just doing it with lots of stupid stuff because he doesnt want to miss an opportunity. He's afraid 'the big one' will be mentioned and he wont get credit for it.

It's all about declaring himself the savior of the cv crisis and we'll hear all about it, esp in his campaign. (Which is basically each of his press briefings these days) --- Lursa

Maybe weed just isn't for you, but have you tried high dose edibles? They can give you a really nice high with no smoke and none of the mess that comes with smoking. Like these:

I do tinctures mostly.

While everyone's vulnerable to false/enhanced memories, pot is an INCREDIBLY dangerous & addictive drug.

Sorry, but you have no idea what you are talking about. It would be rather naïve for anyone to claim that Pot, or any other drug for that matter, does not have side effects. But stating that Pot is INCREADIBLY dangerous is wrong, false and not true. It is misleading.
