My sister's lungs collapsed at age of 28 and almost died. She didn't smoke cigarettes and the doctors showed her the damage to her lungs from smoking pot. They told her that if she kept smoking pot that she would either die from a lung collapse (a second collapse would be catastrophic) or die from her extremely elevated blood pressure and elevated heart rate and pot was solely responsible for her health issues. She had two young daughters who she didnt even think twice about smoking pot in front of them. Her husband also was heavily into pot smoking and had two car accidents while under the influence of pot.
Eventually she cleaned up, her husband didn't and the marriage ended because he did not want to kick the habit and wasting money on the habit. She is clean and sober. Neither one of them smoked cigarettes or drank alcohol. Their problems stemmed from the use of pot. I don't care what this chart or any other chart says. Pot damaged my family and my sister now believes that she made a huge mistake in believing what some of you believe. She used to be the same way, but now she knows better and would tell you the same.
Her life is tons better after getting off pot, her health and life are back on track. Pot can and will damage your body, can and will alter your mind and can alter it enough to be serious danger on the road, as dangerous as and drunk driver. I once took a ride with my brother in law while he was high....he was all over the road and I never rode with him again. Im 38 years old so you are not talking to a kid, you can believe what you want and believe that nothing will happen. I know first hand what it can do and I find it very ignorant to believe otherwise.
dude.... its the person before hand... my dad smoked a joint before work, during lunch break, and after he got off work.... he made more money in his masonry business than many CEO's i know....
the person not the drug, if you have enough self control, you wont let it effect you.
if i have something important to do, i just dont fucking get high. how hard is that?
video games are harder to quit than weed. end of story. its not as addicting/life changing as you might think...
plus, i have a similar story about alcohol.... my dad went into severe DTs because of alcohol, and the doctor said he CANT quit drinking because he would die. he would have to ween himself off it. he had a seizure because of alcohol..... you dont have DTs with marijuana...........
