Hard to believe but there are a group of scientists who are offering to pay people as much as $600 to essentially smoke marijuana!
Here is an excerpt from an article that explains about it more:
A group of scientists are looking for marijuana smokers to help gain insight into the drug's effects. And they plan to pay subjects as much as 600 dollars to smoke their pot.
The study examines how marijuana affects brain function and cognition, with particular attention to the duration of use and the age of first use. The measure is brain imaging studies and achievement tests, such as for math and verbal skills.

people who smoke/do drugs probably dont have much brain function at all to start with
do you drink?
thats hardly an opinion ;(
sure im stereotyping but stereotyping is fun init...
still i think mostly im right, there's a very big difference between people who 'drink' (everyone?) and people who do pot regularly...
im not talking about alcoholics from around mid 30's etc ofc they are as pathetic as potsmokers are :P
of course there are exceptions and if you like to think you are one of them then be my guest if it helps u sleep at night =)
i must say i totally disagree with counting alcohol in the form of regular beers with friends as doing drugs though =X
please dont misunderstand me i'm solely saying that i just get the impression that most of them are socially disabled :P
Heck, I even shook your hand at SHGOpen!
well said my friend
fact is from my experience people from around our age (oh wait, you are 26 =X) who smoke pot a regularly are soar knobheads whereas people who drink regularly with friends (i am one of them which makes me cool) are not
you are a real meany! :<<<<
a story: i had this quite big circle of friends, potsmoking a lot, we went out, had fun, went to museums, parties, theatre, book readings, etc (while being stoned OFC) , and somehow World of Warcraft hit a huge part of this group, what happenend? i have never seen most of them in RL again :O .
what i wanna say is everything you do excessively and without combination of anything else will make your brain go really numb.
our brain evolves thru all the different things that get absorbed by it, all the different ppl that it encounters. you experience more -> your brainpower will grow.
noone can argue that ppl that only do drugs get really dumb. but on the other hand our lovely brain can regenerate REALLY fast. i for one smoked from 18-24 a LOT, since then not that much. but i still like the drug, more than alcohol, its just such a dirty delirium :d
your body will degenerate, your liver will fail, you die.
what happens to your body when you are an heroin addict?
nothing big.
plus the cool thing is, a heroin junkie can be integrated into normal society without any problems, try that with an alcoholaddict.. haha :d
you get pure clean Heroin, your body will be happy.
im only writing all this stuff, cause i hate the ignorance how the health system fucks up the Heroin Junkies, alright they are addicted, its a sickness, supply them with clean heroin under control thru the pharmacies and let them live normal lives, go to work, etc. and dont just let them die in the streets cause they shoot shit in their veins. and NO its not their own fault. its a sickness caused by many different circumstances. they are poor souls, we cant just let them die.
alcohol= hardrugs
now gtfo
you only live once my friend, if you think a few joints is gonna fuck up your life then you are delusional.
cant see the point in drugs tbh... they ruin your life - bottomline.
yes alcohol can become addictive too but drugs is much more dangerous. sol you know Malta's lifestyle, weekend comes, get drunk, bk to school/work
thats how we live in here. so us maltese dont really compare alcohol with drugs...
Since this journal is about cannabis I can only assume you're refering to it as being something that can 'ruin your life' which is absolutely absurd since alcohol is far more likely to do so.
DRUGS ARE DANGEROUS
and here im talking about addicts... they even take drugs before going to rehab... its disgusting
if these guys wanna test on marijuana effect, you will end up being an ADDICT which is much more different then just taking it during a party once in a while.
infact i dont really get drunk that much often either, as in... totally drunk that you remember nothing... wtf is the point of spending money when you won't remember a shit?
the thing as i see it is that marijuana is easier to get addicted to rather then alcohol because nowadays, marijuana is rather cheap too...
started with alcohol, cigarettes then marijuana, xtc and i stopped.
nowadays they won't live if they dont have marijuana with them and xtc during a party
IF they didnt work all ready or their parents werent a bit more then the middle class im quite sure they would ruin their life...
Alcohol can be worse than (other) drugs >_>
And that's coming from experience too, i'm sure others would agree
the pity i have for those people who take xtc during a party is worse than those who have nothing to eat...
i laugh my ass off (coz of what they do) when i see some1 on xtc.. lol
or only clubs @ malta
you rarely see some1 on xtc @ clubs...
i saw hundreds the few parties i went on xtc and i dont really like the idea...
And no , I'm trying to make you use them!!
probably i will suicide if i try xtc :p
gl keeping encouraging me but no thx, keep them for yourself :)
Personally i drink quite heavily, i'll usually have a night out during the week and one at the weekend where i'll be spending £70 on booze and get far too wasted - black outs and be totally out of control of what i'm doing. My friends say i do get a bit aggressive but they know its in good fun, shame other people don't see that when i walk up and give them a slap on the head :DD
I know its dangerous and i'm harming myself but i'm only young and figure i'm not going to be able to cope/get away with this when i'm older and have a decent job/responsibility so may aswell get it out my system just now. The best nights are the ones you can't remember!
