Rather than expose those poor rats to these harmful chemicals, why not use a couple of teenagers for their studies.

So... Stress?

All I know is that I was depressed far before smoking marijuana, and I feel fine today.

Shouldn't be using rats.

Smoking pot, is still inhaling a burning plant, all burning plants produce tar, people go to the hospital for inhaling smoke. That's my logic for not smoking anything.. well that and pot doesn't do anything for me.

[Mr_Canada]

Cool.

[ASLplease]

I was depressed far more when i hung around with pot smokers( even though I didn't inhale). Now that I don't anymore I feel fine.

[Mr_Canada]

...So... What are you trying to say, ASL? That the Pot heads were a downer on your mood, or that the mere awful bastard scent of marijuana on their sweaters made you depressed?

Same, I can think of many times where I felt like total shit and when I would be done smoking my whole attitude changed. It actually helped me a lot through high school. I didn't use it to "hide" from my problems ("that would be a pretty big pile to actually hide behind...I don't have that kind of money" ) but it sure as hell made me feel better about my life.

Smoking pot has had its positives and negatives on my life, more negative than positive. A lot of the times i smoked it was because there was nothing to do in the town i lived in and i was depressed more or less. Pot gave my friends and i something to do. Smoking during high school was a breeze for me because high school wasn't that hard for me, i had a 3.6 gpa coming out. But once i graduated high school and got to college, shit got real. Smoking made me a different person in the sense it made me lazy and unmotivated. It also proved to be a gateway more or less. Now i am very limited in smoking pot, maybe once to twice a month when i have nothing productive to be doing.

Testing on rats is stupid in my opinion, people are not rats and do not have the same emotions. If there is one thing i learned about marijuana is people handle it very differently and it is up to the individual to control their use. Marijuana is something that has a lot of medical potential and should not be seen in such a negative light. People a lot of the time will smoke because there is something else in their life that is causing anxiety and they are just trying to numb it.

well, some of that stuff smells like 3 day old sex. but mostly I'm saying that they can be real downers. Physiology and state of mind are connected. Its hard to play football, and feel melancholy ,

its hard to feel happy if you are hunched over a joint in a poorly lit cigarette filled room while the smell of stale beer permeates the air.

I've never done what you just described. It's either my room or the garage. I lie back, relax, breathe, be happy, etc. It depends on your environment, of course.

It's hard to play football and feel at all smart as well. Actually, football has shown to cause severe brain damage, because of improper helmet designs, even to this day in all-stars. Which is a lot more then stress in rats.
