I can't believe they still teach this shit

We were learning about MJ in my "Life Skills" class and my teacher made some ridiculously outdated and strange claims. First of all, unrelated to weed, but he said that LSD stays in your spinal chord for years.
Basically what he said was that it decreases sperm count, arrests emotional development (what he said was that if you start smoking at fifteen and keep at it until lets say your thirty you will still act like a fifteen year old), and causes demotivational syndrome. I didn't know they still teach this shit.

On a side not I've smoked with this guy's nephew.

Keep in mind I'm in my senior year. This is what they're teaching seniors.

 

You should educate him.




With your fist.

 

There are some truths in those claims, actually... but teachers often exaggerate since their sources do so. The sperm count think, if I remember correctly is true, but it isn't a significant amount. the emotional development part.. I doubt that. And for the demotivational syndrome, I believe that's true, especially in teens.. but it's just being lazy and I doubt it's permanent.

everything in moderation anyways..

 

The claim about sperm count is still up in the air. Most of the studies I have seen have said that marijuana really has no effect on sperm count.

I've heard a ton of myths about LSD. Some say that if you crack your back it can release LSD and cause you to trip. I know that because LSD is water soluble it is out of your system in hours but I'm not sure about the spinal chord.

The claims about emotional problems are all pretty unfounded too.

 

the only people i've trusted to teach me about drugs were my parents & sister, simply cuz they've all been through it and know their shit...i wouldnt worry about what they teach you in school about drugs, they dont want you to know the truth they wanna scare you into not doing them(aside from the rare down to earth teacher).

 

lsd metabolizes from the body around 30 seconds after absorption.

the trip is a chain reaction from the alkaloidal key. you'll never find any in your spine...

 

Hell SOY products lower your sperm count too... we better make those illegal too.

 

i heard that if guys smoke the seeds of weed it will lower their sperm count.
and soy products give guys man boobs..haha.

 

eat the seed. they are some of the best food on the planet.

 

How outdated and barbaric... and all of those effects are impermanent. Sperm will grow back, and you'll probably snap out of our lazy spell once you can get off the couch, and who's really to say what measurement of emotional growth means what? People develop in different ways, and there's no cookie cutter developmental path.

Although I won't disagree that if you bake all day every day it'll probably hinder some kind of development but hey, I'm no doctor.

Everything in moderation...

 

maturity is debatable.
sperm count? ridiculous. A healthy male is capable(with stimulation) of producing like 100,000 sperm in an hour. all it takes is 1.
and as for motivatio and being lazy? that's part of being a teen. the ones that aren't lazy are the exceptions to the rule, not us potheads.

Or we could actually look at medical studies instead of deciding beforehand that marijuana is harmless. What say you, good chap? Reason or Rhyme?

 

All I know is that all the smokers I know are happy people and all the nonsmokers I know are unhappy, with literally one exception. And that's why I have the friends I do.

EDIT: and I would say that this is clearly biased seing as the statement at the end says "We must clearly resist attempts to make this legal", so an opinion has worked over the science I would say.

 

I have a theory about ppl thinking lsd stays in your spine and is released when you crack your back. when you do that, it opens up more space in your ribcage and you can fill your lungs with more air. more lung capacity, more oxygen, more food for the brain to produce visuals.

 

From what I've read the spinal cord myth is false.

 

if you want a reliable sorce go to erowid

 

You guys didn't read this?

Metabolize meaning Gone

 

its true full of all kinds of vitamins and such

 

I had to go to this drug evaluation for my temporary probation and i told her i would smoke 3-4 times a week when i use to smoke and she tried to tell me i was an addict and she tried to tell me how much more powerful the weed is now a days I didn't believe a word she said all she did was lie to me about weed.

 

^ maybe the word addict was appropriate.. it's all in the definition.
