I fully expected the end of that quote to be the word "rocks".

[Spursfan092120]

Wow..I am incredibly shocked

[angelbelow]

Wow. very poor decision to air it like that. No sense of responsibility?

You think the fact that he smokes weed explains his behavior? What are you fuckin 85 years old? Who really thinks weed makes you act like a psychopath?

[Rodriguez]

As I have said millions of times before, Josh Howard isn't the only guy smoking weed in NBA and the number of such guys is no less than 200 in rough calculation, that said more than a half of the players currently active in NBA are habituated to smoking marijuana, or at least have smoked it. Even some brand stars like Lebron James have a history of smoking weed, which was dated back to his Jr. high school.

[spursfan1000]

Good for him, next.

[v2freak]

You think the fact that he smokes weed explains his behavior? What are you fuckin 85 years old? Who really thinks weed makes you act like a psychopath?

What makes you think Marbury is a psychopath?

[DMX7]

I didn't know it was against the rules to drive and smoke marijuana.

[z0sa]

I agree smoking dope makes you see things in a different light mentally, so i think it does change your behavior patterns markedly especially if you're stoned all the time like this guy no doubt is.

[angelbelow]

What the fuck are you 2 years old? You do know that smoking weed changes your behavior.

Whoa... you cant talk to JJ Hickson like that..

[21_Blessings]

What the fuck are you 2 years old? You do know that smoking weed changes your behavior.

Marbury has always been crazy. Can't blame the Cannabis for his parents shorting him on working brain cells.

[21_Blessings]

I smoked my share in high school, but I wont deny it fucks with your brain. Marbury is on something much more stronger than Kush.

Yeah, it fucks with your brain, but so does caffeine. My point was that marijuana does not turn you into a certifiable loon like Marbury.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Marbury is on something much more stronger than Kush.


I think that's what everyone is trying to say.

[21_Blessings]

:lol

Ive seen people doing much worse than Marbury that smoke weed. These are long time heavy chronic smokers.

And I've seen people do worse than Marbury when they were completely sober. Your anecdotal evidence doesn't mean or prove anything. We're talking about of the most heavily medically tested substances on Earth.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

:lol

Ive seen people doing much worse than Marbury that smoke weed. These are long time heavy chronic smokers.

Those people are usually tweakers who claim to do nothing other than smoke weed. I know plenty of those people where I live. One day they're talking about how bad cocaine is for you, the next day they're in rehab.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

LOL, you guys sound like the cigarette companies. Good luck with that.:toast

I was just making a joke, idk what you and 21_blessings are arguing about.

[21_Blessings]

If you need to test weed to know if fucks up your body, then your problem is not the weed, that's for sure.
End of discussion.

Heh yeah, fuck science man. You sound like a creationist.


Some people think weed is perfectly healthy for you and does no harm, I dont.

Some people think weed makes you crazy, an addict and has no benefit. Yet thousands of doctors prescribe it every day to treat their patients for a variety of ailments.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

No argument coming from me. Some people think weed is perfectly healthy for you and does no harm, I dont.


I agree there. Cigarettes do harm to you, and so does weed.

I stopped smoking weed when I got fat and realized weed had fucked up my health and I needed to get in better physical shape.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

But as far as your mental sanity and mental health, I don't think weed has any long term effects. Short term effects obviously.

[Shastafarian]

Weed is almost as harmful as the Gays right lakaluva?

[Red Hawk #21]

Who still remembers this shit lol
zWxgbyYrT5A

[Shastafarian]

No sir. Gays are much worse.

All we can hope is they stay away from our hetero children right? Oh and don't even think about looking at our junk.

[Shastafarian]

No, the problem lies within the heteros. Haven't you learned anything from my lectures? Or are you are you just completely stupid?

I honestly don't pay attention when you lecture.

[Shastafarian]

Well, why did you bring up one subject of one of my most famous seminars on this site?

Because I like starting shit with homophobes.

[dallaskd]

this explains his behavior. or he is truly stupid

your fucking retarded. you honestly think marijuana is the reason for his behavior...

[TimDunkem]

Marijuana, when used irresponsibly can be harmful. Not in the way Lakaluva would have you believe. The short-term affects are well documented; lethargy, possible weight gain, possible short-term memory impairment. However, it's nothing long term. You certainly don't destroy mind after smoking it, and it's not going to give you cancer. Say what you want about marijuana, but more and more doctors are prescribing it for their patients every day for all sorts of different conditions. People who act stupid after smoking a lot probably didn't need it to act that way in the first place.

[BlackBellamy]

I know that, personally, the use of my medically prescribed marijuana has made me infinitely better at the Skee Ball game in the arcade.

I know what you mean......weed + 2-3 beers and I'm unstoppable at beer pong.

[Shastafarian]

What are the long-term effects? And what is a responsible way of using an herb/drug that damages the immune system of both people and animals and impairs the ability of T-cells in the lungs immune defense system to fight off infections? I'm just curious...


Myth: Marijuana Use Impairs the Immune System. Marijuana users are at increased risk of infection, including HIV. AIDS patients are particularly vulnerable to marijuana's immunopathic effects because their immune systems are already suppressed.

Fact: There is no evidence that marijuana users are more susceptible to infections than nonusers. Nor is there evidence that marijuana lowers users' resistance to sexually transmitted diseases. Early studies which showed decreased immune function in cells taken from marijuana users have since been disproved. Animals given extremely large doses of THC and exposed to a virus have higher rates of infection. Such studies have little relevance to humans. Even among people with existing immune disorders, such as AIDS, marijuana use appears to be relatively safe. However, the recent finding of an association between tobacco smoking and lung infection in AIDS patients warrants further research into possible harm from marijuana smoking in immune suppressed persons.

There is some evidence from human studies that long-term marijuana use
can have adverse effects, although it seems that the spectrum of these
effects is narrower than previously thought and mainly centres around
cognitive (intellectual) function.

A paper in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) vol.
287 No. 9, March 6, 2002, pp. 1123-1131) found that long-term cannabis
users performed less well than shorter-term users and controls (people
who didn’t use cannabis) in tests of memory and attention. The
long-term users averaged 23.9 years of use, compared with 10.2 years
in the shorter-term users. You can find an abstract at the American
Medical Association web site:
http://jama.ama-assn.org/issues/v287n9/abs/joc11416.html , but access
to the full text requires subscription to the journal. Note that the
comments associated with the article (links to them are underneath the
abstract) indicate that some other investigators do not agree with
this conclusion.

Another study published in a Canadian medical journal (CMAJ 2002 Apr
2;166(7):887-91 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=11949984&dopt=Abstract)
found that: “Current marijuana use had a negative effect on global IQ
score only in subjects who smoked 5 or more joints per week. A
negative effect was not observed among subjects who had previously
been heavy users but were no longer using the substance. We conclude
that marijuana does not have a long-term negative impact on global
intelligence.” This study compared IQ scores of individuals aged 9-12
years before they started using cannabis, with their scores at 17-20
years. Light users, former users and non-users showed a gain in IQ
over the same period.

One reason for the decreased IQ and memory in consistent heavy users
could be the fact that long-term cannabis use has been found to
decrease blood flow to the front areas of the brain (Neurotoxicology
and Teratology 2001 Sep-Oct; vol 23 pp. 437-43 Frontal lobe
dysfunction in long-term cannabis users by Lundqvist T, Jonsson S,
Warkentin S. of the Division of Medical Neurochemistry, Lund
University Hospital, 221 85, Lund, Sweden
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=11711246&dopt=Abstract

A study published in Public Health and Nutrition, June 2001, vol. 4
pp. 781-786 (Dietary intake and nutritional status of US adult
marijuana users: results from the Third National Health and Nutrition
Examination Survey. By Smit E, Crespo CJ. of the Department of Social
and Preventive Medicine, SUNY School of Medicine, University at
Buffalo, Buffalo, NY 14214, USA.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=11415485&dopt=Abstract
) found that marijuana users have lower levels of carotenoids in the
serum. The authors concluded this was associated with different
dietary habits: “We found higher cigarette-smoking rates and higher
consumption of sodas and alcohol, specifically beer, among marijuana
users than among non-current marijuana users. Marijuana users also
consumed more sodium, fewer fruits, and more pork, cheese, and salty
snacks.” Carotenoids are important anti-oxidants which help to
prevent cancer and other diseases. An increased risk of these
diseases might be due not so much to marijuana use itself as to the
lifestyle led by many who use it. Better attention to nutrition, in
order to ensure a good intake of fresh fruit and vegetables,
particularly the red, yellow and orange ones, will help to boost
antioxidant status (see below)

A review of various studies came to the conclusion that: “Regular
marijuana use can lead to extensive airway injury and alterations in
the structure and function of alveolar macrophages, potentially
predisposing to pulmonary infection and respiratory cancer.” Alveolar
macrophages are cells in the lungs that help clear away debris and
bacteria. (Current Opinions in Pulmonary Medicine, March 2001, vol 7
pp 43-61, Airway effects of marijuana, cocaine, and other inhaled
illicit agents. by Tashkin DP of the Division of Pulmonary and
Critical Care Medicine, UCLA School of Medicine, Los Angeles,
California 90095-1690
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=11224724&dopt=Abstract
) Again, to counteract these effects, a diet high in antioxidants
would be helpful.

Obviously, marijuana smoked as joints and mixed with tobacco could
carry all the health risks associated with cigarette smoking. The use
of marijuana alone might be implicated in cancer. However, one review
concluded that: “While there is no doubt that marijuana smoke contains
carcinogens, an increase in cancer among users has thus far been
anecdotal. Because of the long latent period between cancer induction
and initiation of cigarette smoking, the full story is yet to be
told.” (International Journal of Neuropsychopharmacology, July 1998,
vol. 1 pp 71-80, Health aspects of cannabis: revisited. by Hollister
LE. of Harris County Psychiatric Center, University of Texas-Houston,
Houston, TX http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=11281947&dopt=Abstract
) In support of this statement, I only found one recent paper in
Medline describing a case of cancer in one marijuana user. This in
itself is not absolute proof.

L E Hollister also concluded that: “Many older concerns about adverse
effects on health (chromosomal damage, 'cannabinol psychosis',
endocrine abnormalities, cardiac events, impaired immunity) no longer
seem to elicit much interest. Continuing concerns about the adverse
cognitive effects of chronic use indicate that these can be
demonstrated by proper testing; some studies suggest that they may be
long-lasting. Although cannabis does not produce a specific psychosis,
the possibility exists that it may exacerbate schizophrenia in persons
predisposed to that disorder.” i.e. the effects tend to be more on
brain function than on other diseases, and it could worsen the status
of people who have a tendency to schizophrenia.

I have not found anything specific about diet in relation to marijuana
use. However, a diet rich in antioxidants will tend to counteract the
effect of many toxins and thus would probably be helpful against the
toxic effects of marijuana. This is a diet rich in fresh fruit and
vegetables, with perhaps additional (although not extreme) intake of
vitamins A, C and E. Red wine is also high in antioxidants :) and so
is green tea.

You're a fucking retard. I fucking loathe people that know absolutely nothing about marijuana, but try get all chest out and shit about other people's choice to smoke it. Oh, but you know some guys who live by you right? You used Google right? That makes you some fucking authority on the matter right?

For the record, I'm bigger, faster, stronger and a whole hell of a lot smarter than you... and I've smoked weed multiple times daily for a decade.

You have no clue what you're talking about. I don't know what your problem is or why you have it. What motivates you to go out of your way to condemn other people's personal decisions? Either shut the fuck up, or change your opinions, because right now you look like a moron and a clown.
