furthermore all of clinical psychology is just a theoretical stab-in-the-darkUzique wrote:
in a technical sense all of those above-listed 'events' change personal psychology, drives, motivations and ambitions
the only drug that pharmacologically changes brain-receptor chemistry is opiates, hence why heroin is so addictive
THC... no. about as likely as caffeine to change your biological hard-wiring.
stop being so dumb on purpose, you claim to be an intelligent person at any other more convenient time.
Well lets have a look.Dilbert_X wrote:
I went to Imperial, being uncool was not exactly uncool - the science-fiction club had the largest membership of the social clubs, where did I complain about other students exactly?Uzique wrote:
dilbert i could consider your posts trolling if it wasnt for the previous-posts in bf2s history in which you basically admitted you were the hopelessly uncool kid that found socializing hard. therefore i just think your whole anti-pot thing is more of a senseless bitter tirade against the kids at college that seemed to scrape by a-okay by smoking pot, going to frat parties and generally having a good time... whilst you sat in the background working away, having no fun.
What I have said is pot smokers tend to do less well than they could have - I wouldn't say being an unmarried father, working for your Dad's signwriting company and playing football in Wales is the pinnacle of achievement TBH.
I still think its pretty funny these numbskulls left a continuous trail of dope all the way from their house to the grow-house.

They're all intelligent, educated people who can think for themselves, and do have personal lives and opinions outside 'the establishment'.well, for a start all of your 'professional' friends are part of an establishment where it is only professionally-acceptable to condemn pot-use
Your last sentance is interesting.Dilbert_X wrote:
I've seen enough people start drinking, smoking etc - No real long-term personality change. Pot -> Their life changes.
They're my opinions, based on my observations, backed by discussions with others who've had extensive professional and direct exposure more so than me.
I think people should have pleasure in life, I don't think pot is a good thing on balance though.
Maybe, I'm talking about people who were otherwise doing fine, started pot and completely changed direction - in most cases who were smarter and harder working than me but who just stopped progressing.uzique wrote:
maybe the people were psychologically pre-disposed to fall back or falter because of vice; pot is the symptom but not the cause? ever considered that? for some people, according to their mental make-up, their past, their psychological history and state-of-mind, their entire lives are precariously leading up to a crisis-event at which point they'll trip up because of some vice or lure and will crumble because they were never all that solid and composed, anyway.
No, like I said, ample personal experience comparison of notes with others with very extensive personal experience.wild generalisations grounded in some irrational fear or social bitterness from dilbert

There does seem to be a difference depending on when people start, if they start as adults it seems to be much less of a problem.
You could, however I've not seen cigarettes, coffee or chocolate cause people to drop out of uni - for example.Uzique wrote:

I'm not talking about mountains of people dropping out of uni, I'm talking about specific people - anecdotally - who decided smoking dope and bumming around was a higher priority than getting a degree.Uzique wrote:

Maybe weed was a coincedance then? Seeing as people are going to drop out anyway? I aint stupid enough to ignore the fact it may lead to people dropping out but then, some people get bored and drop, some split up with the gf and drop, some are fed up, about to drop, score some wacky backy from Dave and end up fucking staying cos they like the new social life they just found by accident. Swings and round abouts. (Uk saying)Dilbert_X wrote:
