Turning Retarded From Marijuana

[Pikerz]

SWIM used to smoke pot for years when he was a teenager. Every day for probably about 5 years. Since then he got a career and didn't have time to party anymore. Now he is at a point (5 years later) when he goes to smoke with other people, he gets high off of 1-2 hits and turns into a moron. He can't think, can't talk, can't walk, and can't be around other people. All he can do is sit there and be high. Is this just a part of getting older? Is there any way to go back to the way things were and be able for him, to go party and accually smoke with other people?

Try differant strains, differant quanities and qualities, differant friends, differant environment, and probably a differant mindset.

It may well be that the nature of the experience has changed for SWIM. Perhaps being "retarded" was pleasent during adolescence, and now is not. It happens.

Try taking Piracetam the day swiy knows he is going to smoke. It is known to boost memory and cognitive performance, is cheap as hell and is not addictive or toxic in the slightest.

It's probably because your used to being tolerant to marijuana. Regular smokers don't get "retarded" because the nature of the effects changes greatly when one uses regularly. If you continue to smoke regularly SWIM would bet that the high goes back to the one you know and love. (Both from his personal experience and that of those around him.)

For SWIM MJ is not a party drug-- it makes him all self conscious and, well, retarded! It's more for relaxing at home.

SWIM agrees with enquirewithin

after countless attempts to smoke and chill at parties Swim has found it more enjoyable to get high and relax...maybe catch an I-MAX movie which by the way is another story on its own

SWIM has done alot of creative things on greens but SWIM has also done some really retarted things like forget where the bong lighter is but its in SWIM's freaking HAND!! Being really baked and leaving somones house without SWIMS shoes and walking a block before realizing it lol.
