Ok. I have spent the last three months studying drugs and their effects on patients with mental disorders (mostly bipolar disorder, schizoaffective disorder, dissociative disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder). Alot of things you hear about drugs are lies.

Marijuana: It's not physically addictive. Someone here said that the people who took it ended up becoming mediocre... Well what do you have to say about Alcahol, come on. You should be able to think past that. People are people, if they stay in the lower class it means their minds were there in the first place. And it takes about a month to completely go out of your system after chronic use. For you i'd wait a week if you did it once.

It is shown to cause fluctuations in growth hormones in young teenagers. So make sure you've matured before starting. Research has shown no birth defects, but just to be sure please don't smoke while pregnant...

If you have a mental disorder such as schizophrenia it is advised that you abstain from marijuana use. smoking causes your brain to release a wave of hormones, especially dopamine, which is a bad thing for several mental disorders. Testing showed a 20% increase is schizophrenic activity in the brain. For some patients with severe schizophrenia these increases (which fade after the high ends) can cause them to descend into their disorder faster. They are currently researching the use of marijuana and medications like haldol to stop this from happening.

MDMA: It does not kill your brain cells on contact, that happens when you buy cheap pills that weren't really mdma to begin with (similar drug, same effects, much worse side effects). However mdma does cause a Serotonin Disorder... That alone should make you not take it, and if you do take if even with this knowledge then all I have to say is your ****ing ignorant.

Instead of beleiving things people and the media tell you actually do research. If you were raised beleiving black people were animals would it be right to beleive it... Does that make it OK to be racist. No it does not. So don't spread ignorance here.
