--Ingrown toenails...lol im not so sure. I dont have any
-LMAO- anal leakage? You have got to be kidding me!

Answer 2

Almost any drug, no matter how mild, when used to excess could have a huge impact on someone's mental ability. Weed has an impact on short-term memory, but it doesn't fit this problem. People's attention span can be affected while they are using weed. It sounds more likely he was stressed and took a few tokes of the good weed to get ready to face school. A sudden relapse with weed is pretty rare. But not a concern if it only happens once. There could be a range of other explainations. Such memory losses could be serious, and there a range of standard tests that can be done (they are paper and pencil tests) to test brain function.

Answer 3

the effects of smoking is not at all like that who every told you that is a stupid f-in idiot, all the effects are
dry mouth,
bloodshot eyes(meaning that their red)
you get the munchies when you smoke depends on the weed
but you will crave certain foods.
sometimes you wont remember things
it does make some people lazy depends on how active they really are but all that other stuff could happen ONLY IF UR ALLERGIC so that's about it why do u want to smoke or your just wondering?

Answer 4

I would say everyone is different & alot of that stuff mentioned is how that person takes care of themselves, i dealt with weed while in college & I went to college for architech- very hard, I graduated at the top of my class. out of all of them I heard about the infertility with men, but eveyone I know is fertile Mertle. Weed can change your mood depending who your around, if your around depressed people mad about life & not doing anything in life- that will project to you, if your focus on what you want in life & how to get it ,nothing will stop you Definately not weed. Appetite, yeah you get the munchies....but some don't...those causes were already going wrong with those people, I also asked these questions while in medical school, their answer it depends on the individual, like crackheads there is fat crackheads? How? when you'll see someone that is skinnier than a pencil thats on crack= INDIVIDUAL- ** IF YOU DON'T SMOKE, TO START. TAKE CARE

Answer 5

Smoking in general is not good for you, but the truth is, all of those are exaggerations.

The only real effect is that your nerve endings separate, making it harder for your body to pass information, hence the concept of a "pot head" being slow, mentally. This effect is temporary and if you stop smoking, the nerve endings come closer.

Oh and having the munchies will make you get crap food and you might gain a little weight.

Answer 8

most of the side effects you listed are bogus the rest are usually from long term use, except the munchies that pretty much happens every time.

Answer 9

Most are true...except I never heard of the ingrown nails and leakage. A lot of potheads get fat. The complacence and munchies really kill the figure!

Answer 10

I don't think it makes you loose energy it gets you way awake... people do get really hungry , i have never heard of the anal leakage, ingrowing toenails so i don't think all of those are true some of them are though...
