Bad day in middle school? Middle school? Seriously, you're jumping to ad hominem based on absolutely baseless assumptions. I'm a senior at uni and have studied biomedical engineering, so I know the chemistry behind marijuana effects. And I know several people who smoke regularly, so so I've seen it in person as well.…

Short of driving a car? Strange you would take one of the most dangerous bad decisions that could be made while impaired and remove it from the set of things I'm allowed to mention. Seems like you're picking and choosing what information you want to consider when you make your decision about weed.

Did you read your own article? According to the source you just gave me:

Audi can be making electric cars now, yes. Audi cannot, however, be making electric cars with an efficiency and cost comparable to current combustion engines. Because that tech doesn't yet exist on a large scale. Hence, this.

And who says we're not? All-electrics are being worked on in terms of trying to increase their efficiency and infrastructure. Just because there are also other things in development doesn't change that.

I cite a medical research paper, and you cite Wikipedia...I have nothing against Wikipedia because it often has citations, but I didn't make you wade through links upon links to find the initial sources, so please do me that same courtesy.

Interesting. Ketamine has always had an academic place in my heart due to this very effect, since it explains near-death experiences without resorting to unsubstantiated concepts like souls, spirits, ghosts, heaven, etc.

So in order to know how being high affects your judgment, you need to get high? You realize that if it does affect your judgment, you'd never know by getting high because your judgment of your state would be impaired, right? It's like saying "you can't know getting shot hurts unless you've been shot" or, more…

Let me ask you: what are your qualifications? You act like I know nothing about marijuana effects and scold me for talking about it in that case...but what makes you think you know about the effects of weed? Because you've smoked it and your high brain didn't think it was impaired? If you actually have more…

You smoked for only 5 years and "have seen no consequence" to it? What kinds of tests have you participated in to see if there were side effects? And what are you comparing your current behaviors and thought patterns to to decide what's an effect of the marijuana and what's just you? How would you know the difference?

My phone only needs one charge a day, which I usually do overnight.

Cool. Understanding the properties of the smallest components of a system, then using that to build the system up to its macroscale, always makes me happy ^_^ .

I know that near-death experiences, specifically out-of-body ones and other "heaven experiences" are caused by overstimulated ketamine receptors in the brain...so correct me if I'm wrong, but is the "K-Hole" an out-of-body near-death experience state?

Increased comprehension of one thing and one thing only. Until you think of something else, and then you can't remember the one thing you were thinking about 2 minutes before. And if you need to focus on more than one thing at a time? God help you.

There's also long-term effects as well, though...

Don't remind me -_- . That is why I said "more", though.

If an alcohol ban were enforceable, then I'd be mostly apathetic toward it, maybe leaning a little in favor. But prohibition showed it's not possible to enforce that. And I know, similar things with weed, but that doesn't mean that I can't speak out against both.

If you do, then that's fine. But can you guarantee you always will? Can you guarantee that you, when high, will always have the good sense to stay home until you're sobered up? I have something to tell you: no, you can't, because when you're high your judgement is temporarily impaired. That means, by definition, that…

Yes. That I heard somewhere. If by "heard" you mean "researched, learned in biomedical engineering classes, and seen first-hand from several of my friends who are or were potheads". And your understanding of the subject comes from what? Things random people have told you and how you feel when your brain is high?

Not you specifically. I just think everyone deserves to be happy and healthy, and temporary false happiness that increases the chances of doing something dangerous (thus harming your health indirectly) is a threat to those.
