    I havnt been Diagnosed with OCD but I think I might have it... probably not real severe, sometimes I just have thesse god awful thoughts of my parents dying. Thats been that way ever since I was a kid.

    Also... Whenever I turn on water otuside, I have to check it like 2 or 3 times when I turn it off to make sure I did it. When I was a kid I had to always walk 2 steps in between the cracks if enough space was permitted, but after I started smoking weed the first time I realized I didnt give a shit about walking in between the cracks and even though I only smoke like once a month now at the most, I still dont give a fuck about the damn cracks... Also I've noticed the thoughts of my parents arent as frequent, but they come around in spells.

    I still check the water faucet outside tho... I know its stupid but I just have to do it.

    "we get so cought up
    in going from A to Z
    that we forget
    that there are
    24 letters in between"

    meditating on the simple - but not so simple, once you really break it down - workings of a bean bag chair isn't a waste of time. what is time? is there really a right or wrong way to spend your day?

    MYTH: MARIJUANA KILLS BRAIN CELLS. Used over time, marijuana permanently alters brain structure and function, causing memory loss, cognitive impairment, personality deterioration, and reduced productivity.

    FACT: None of the medical tests currently used to detect brain damage in humans have found harm from marijuana, even from long term high-dose use. An early study reported brain damage in rhesus monkeys after six months exposure to high concentrations of marijuana smoke. In a recent, more carefully conducted study, researchers found no evidence of brain abnormality in monkeys that were forced to inhale the equivalent of four to five marijuana cigarettes every day for a year. The claim that marijuana kills brain cells is based on a speculative report dating back a quarter of a century that has never been supported by any scientific study.

    You feel dumb because you are dumb. I never feel that way when high. Your brain is damaged before smoking. :)

    No no I know that its tested. First of all it was done in a national test over many many people, next off they tested it a coulpe of times with people and averagely stoned people score higher then the same people sober.

    I was just trying to find a reason for that, I don't know really.

    I developed very bad ADD as a child and started going crazy. My shrink wanted me on ritalin but my dad refused, so I was a little shithead kid til about 8th grade, when I finally settled down. Then I got really drepressed an OCD. I started smoking wed and it went away. I quit last month for 3 weeks, and I started freaking out toward the end, I had to start taking antidepressants again. I have a problem where I worry I am forgetting thesmallest things and stuff like that, very nit picky. Weed helps.

    also:

    MYTH: MARIJUANA IMPAIRS MEMORY AND COGNITION. Under the influence of marijuana, people are unable to think rationally and intelligently. Chronic marijuana use causes permanent mental impairment.

    FACT: Marijuana produces immediate, temporary changes in thoughts, perceptions, and information processing. The cognitive process most clearly affected by marijuana is short-term memory. In laboratory studies, subjects under the influence of marijuana have no trouble remembering things they learned previously. However, they display diminished capacity to learn and recall new information. This diminishment only lasts for the duration of the intoxication. There is no convincing evidence that heavy long-term marijuana use permanently impairs memory or other cognitive functions.

    Master Adam is almost an acronym for Amsterdam.
