I work at the corporate office at one of the top 500 companies in the US...what more do I have to say. My comment was not intended to show "muscle", I was merely proving a point in relation to SDRockman's last comment.

While I am a supporter of decrim and legalization of marijuana I will say that your comment lacks muscle. I'm sure there are many a crack dealer that could say the same :)

I smoke every day and make over 200K a year and I'm only 5 years outta HS. Put that in your friends pipe and smoke it.

thats crazy... It helps me work, and makes me wanna work harder, i guess I`m just diffrent from your past friends
SDRockman (January 8, 2009 at 4:57 am)
The only reason why people want cannabis legalized is to get stoned all day long. Do you have any friends who take cannabis? I did, and thats the ONLY thing they cared about. "Hey John, any luck finding any jobs? John:"Nooooope. Not really worried about that. I just wanna relax, Im constantly stressed out every single day. Hey, I have to call Harry for some "stuff" or else I cant relax" They will continue to go on about how stressed they are, for an excuse to smoke. It's ruined people who I knew

Shut up and take your Ritalin

What do you mean "contrary to your belief"? I never said that they don't work. I simply said that I'm skeptical about marijuana working to treat ADD/ADHD. Re-read what I said.

"rampant disease . . . " huh. that's funny. I have ADD! Where's my medical marijuana!?!?! ;)
snsilva3815 (January 7, 2009 at 11:38 pm)
Your wrong Zantaer
drugs help treat ADD and ADHD work in a completely different way for people like me with ADD and ADHD
these drugs that pretty much speed actually work the opposite way for us
they make us awake and alert and we definately can focus and contrary to your belief, it does help us with hyperactivity.
i really think the pharmaceutical drugs that people are prescribe do have way more side effects than we as patients are comfortable with and marijuana truely works miracles.

you could give amphetamines to a bull elephant, i just don't think its a good idea. cannabis if effective would be a safer option then amphetamines also.
Zantaer (January 7, 2009 at 4:10 am)
Actually you can give amphetamines to hyperactive children. They do it. Adderall, Ritalin, and Vyvanse are all amphetamines, and they all treat both ADD and ADHD
xsoadxx075 (January 6, 2009 at 11:50 pm)

fast though processes are to blame sometimes, like in the cases which are accompanied by hyperactivity, you can't give amphetamines to hyperactive children, and its not like motivation will be an issue in those cases.
Zantaer (January 6, 2009 at 11:28 pm)
I don't think a fast thought process is causing the short attention span. If that were the case, they wouldn't give Adderall, which is sold as amphetamine (speed) on the street to these patients. If what you say is true, marijuana would surely be counter-productive.
fuckinghellyoutwat (January 6, 2009 at 3:20 pm)
zantaer, cannabis like any drug has different effects on different people, in some people slowing down the though processes is a good thing, because its the speed at which thoughts race through there head that is causing the deficit in attention, i suffer from a sleeping disorder which cannabis helps me with, the cause of which is as i described, i think too much, so in that way i can see cannabis working for some people, also they probably wouldn't be given enough to get you high.

YES IT WORKSpot rocks
liloscar203 (January 6, 2009 at 6:57 am)
just look at the stats for death rates and see if cannabis is on the list.if not, now let me know should we banned it.
Zantaer (January 6, 2009 at 6:43 am)
Again, I'm for the legalization of marijuana, but I don't think this will work, strictly to treat this disorder. I don't know why you decided to insult me. Is it because you don't like the idea of it not working to help ADD? Perhaps you could explain that to me.

I LOVE POT
Zantaer (January 6, 2009 at 1:32 am)
I could be wrong, but you could be too. Just because you don't like the idea doesn't mean it's not true. I'm just basing this on what I've seen in high school. Though it could be that those with low motivation lean towards marijuana. It's not like that with everybody though.
Outlawzand1 (January 5, 2009 at 11:23 pm)
I hate how ppl blame loss of motivation on marijuana, why not blame yourself geez.
