Good thing I didn't start smoking till college 
Teenagers Susceptible to Lasting Damage from Exposure to Marijuana
- Thread starter Serious
- Start date
Any substance affects people differently. I didn't start smoking til I was eighteen but for about five years I smoked everyday still got my.bachelors and I have a job I like making decent money. I only smoke on special occasions now but I'm always praised in my work place and social life for my great memory. Like I said substances just affect people differently.

Sperm is damaged by exercising too hard?
U would think if a person remained healthy and exercised they'd be cool
Sounds like bullshyt because im seeing a lot of healthy athletes with healthly athletic kids.
I noticed the short-term memory effects when I first started smoking. But I have no problems anymore since I've been smoking for years.Any stoner will tell you that the memory part is true. My short term memory is fukked. As far as stoners having a lower IQ, I'm majoring in computer software engineering, and my girlfriend is studying neuroscience.
Weed doesn't make you stupid, it makes people lazy. You just have to be able to handle it
like I said, I've studied and taken tests high and aced them. My homey got his degree in Computer Science and Computer Engineering and smoked heavy every single day. I'm about to get a Bachelor's in Accounting and take the CPA. As for being lazy I have no idea, I was more lazy before I started smoking weed. I've always had an incredible memory, I remember almost every dream that I have and am an experienced lucid dreamer. Plus I've been a gamer all my life so my reflexes and mind are still sharp as hell.

this is what had me going
add in other factors like, did the test group go on to college, what type of work did they do as adults i.e. did they continue to use their brains or did they settle into some menial work, etc.
i'm not saying that what was found couldn't be true, i'm saying the "study" seems less than scientific.

The lady who lead the study is a psychologist who "specializes in drug abuse" you don't go into a study with the mindset of proving that marijuana is bad.seems like every few months a study shows up that is totally bullshyt.
Cannabis doesn't harm sperm if taken in moderate amounts and not a lot of smoking and you eat whole, natural foods that provide protein, fat, and minerals. Your body contain endocannbinoids that effect EVERY PART OF YOUR BODY and keep it healthy which is why cannabis can help so many people in different ways. The frontal lobes which deal with higher function in humans and is associated with future planning, inhibition, sexuality and thinking is LOADED with CB1 receptors or thc receptors which is why people who use it in a proper setting and not drowning themselves with junk food that causes health problems for the brain and the body come up with so much creative ways to do things and think about life in a different way to solve problems.
The immune system is loaed with CB2 receptors which help keep your body feeling good and lowering pain and inflammation so you don't age as others do which is why it helps those with physical problems and prevent problems in those who take the herb. The immune system effects of herb is more powerful when eaten then smoking or vaping but you can still feel it if you do those methods.
A woman's age matters more then a man's because she only has a certain amount of eggs and if she doesn't live right, which most women don't, the eggs she have won't be healthy which increases her risk of the things you claimed. The same for a man BUT if he fixes his diet, do resistance training along with aerobic exercises and eat healthy carbohydrate and fat containing foods his sperm can be healthy for as long as he lives. Sperm doesn't take that much to be healthy, unlike an egg, as it regenerates constantly unless you don't do anything to stimulate it such as having sex or having erections at sleep time to keep the blood flowing in the region to keep everything fresh. Cannabis itself can help bring about good strong sperm being that there are endocannabinoids in sperm and also makes sure more then one sperm won't fertilize an egg which can cause twins or conjoined twins.
I do agree that all the smoking is no good especially if it is potent. The whole reason to have potent herb is so you need less to smoke which will keep the harm to a minimum but people don't get it but that is people fault not the herb. You can eat it or vape it if you want to avoid the problems associated with smoke.
A Tale of Two Cells: Endocannabinoid-Signaling Regulates Functions of Neurons and Sperm
"Sea urchin and human sperm contain receptors for neurotransmitters and psychoactive drugs, including cannabinoid receptors (CNRs). Anandamide, arachidonoylethanolamide (AEA), is a lipid-signal molecule that is an endogenous agonist for CNRs. AEA is enyzmatically released from membrane phospholipids when neurons are stimulated. Retrograde AEA signals from depolarized postsynaptic neurons inhibit neurotransmitter release at synapses in mammalian brain. Analogous processes regulate sperm functions during fertilization in sea urchins. AEA and (−)Δ9tetrahydrocannabinol [(−)Δ9THC], the major psychoactive constituent of marijuana, inhibit fertilization by blocking acrosomal exocytosis/acrosome reactions (AR) stimulated by egg jelly. The acrosome is a Golgi-derived secretory granule in sperm analogous to synaptic vesicles in neurons. AEA and (−)Δ9THC do not block ionophore-induced AR, suggesting that they inhibit AR by modulating signal transduction event(s) before opening of ion channels. Unfertilized sea urchin eggs have enzymes required to release AEA from membrane phospholipids. These results indicate that sea urchin eggs may release AEA after activation by the fertilizing sperm. Released AEA may then react with CNRs in nearby sperm to block AR, thereby helping to prevent polyspermy. AEA is present in human seminal plasma, midcycle oviductal fluid, and follicular fluid. Sperm are sequentially exposed to these fluids as they move from the vagina to the site of fertilization in the oviduct. R-methanandamide (AM-356), a metabolically stable AEA analog, and (−)Δ9THC modulate capacitation and fertilizing potential of human sperm in vitro. These findings suggest that AEA signaling directly affects sperm functions required for fertilization and provide additional evidence for common signaling processes in neurons and sperm. "
its true, I smoked heavy in my teens and now I have problems with concentration
It was probably all the smoking of the herb, smoking blunts and papers all day and lack of a proper diet that caused you problems, not the herb itself.
If you want to improve your concentration eat more green leafy vegetables sauteed in butter or coconut oil and eat nuts and seeds when you want a snack and get more rest at night and within 2-3 weeks things should be better.
Also try to do some type of cardio everyday as it will speed up your recovery.
aint you the same dude who brought up posts from 8 years ago when you should have been living life?
Not impressed by this.
Bumping your head kills brain cells too.
Theres a correlation between high iq and crime. Maybe we should be arguing that smoking weed lowers the crime rate?

Weed doesn't even kill brain cells though, in fact there are scientific studies that prove it actually spurs brain cell GROWTH in the hippocampus
Interesting. I'd like to hear more but I got a bowl on deck.
