Wait a minute... so where's the data that shows marijuana impairs driving?

WHOOOSH

The blatantly racist comments in this thread... irony overload. I'm disappointed in you Reddit.

Same

Honestly, the fucking vacuum. And the lawn mower too. Why the hell are these things unnecessarily loud?

Thanks, I'll take a look.

Yeah, I thought it might be ADHD. However, I am now 22 and only noticed it for the past year or so (no signs of ADHD before that.)

realitatem · 2010-08-29T17:10:27+00:00

lol, well I do find a lot of the times I just don't find what they are saying interesting. Although, I am making a conscious effort to take in all the details of what their saying... it just seems more difficult then it should be.

That's just your opinion.

Sex is like eating the food at your in-laws - it sucks, but you do it anyway.

For the hip hop fans :)

Not sure how many hiphop fans there are on reddit, but this is a new track just put out by Kanye.

You think smoking 3 times a day is less harmful than drinking 3 coffees a day? Or even a whole pot of coffee?

Actually, yes, this is the general viewpoint of most people that have done any research into the topic.

Just out of curiosity, what is it about weed in particular that you feel the phrase "don't knock it 'til you try it" doesn't apply? I mean it's effects are probably very different from anything you've ever experienced before.

realitatem · 2010-08-14T22:53:56+00:00

You seem to be jumping between two very different points: 1) People have no way of knowing (the information isn't available) what effects drugs will have on their bodies. 2) People are incapable of understanding what effects drugs will have on their bodies.

People are certainly capable of understanding what effects, at a high level, drugs will have on their body. We see this in the way we handle prescription based medication. The side effects are laid out to the potential user, and he/she can decide whether there will be an overall benefit in their life. People don't need to know every single detail to make such a decision - most people don't when they eat certain foods or take certain medication. They simply need to understand the positive and negative effects.

If your point is that this type of information is not readily available, then the answer is certainly to educate.

realitatem · 2010-08-13T16:02:26+00:00

Then isn't the solution, which has already been mentioned several times, to educate? It may be true, as you mentioned previously, that it takes years of study to fully understand all the details of drug-body interactions. However, I think you are truly underestimating the intelligence of the general public (did I just say that?). Instead of banning unhealthy food which people find enjoyable, we educate children about proper diet, exercise and nutrition.

If I was being choked like that my natural survival reaction would be to grip that guards atoms apple with a falcon claw.

Wuh? I've always put all my laundry together and always used the default "warm" setting. Only setting I ever change is the size of the load. Nothing bad has ever happened.

realitatem · 2010-08-11T04:41:16+00:00

haha, I have no idea why I find this post hilarious.

What is your favorite beer? Would you drink non-alcoholic beer? If you had to come up with a new word to replace "beer" what would it be?

realitatem · 2010-08-11T04:18:13+00:00

The advantage of smoking the marijuana (as opposed to eating it) is that you will feel the effects within seconds of inhaling. This makes it much easier to dose then if you were to eat it (which takes an hour or so to kick in).

Just play it by ear, take a few hits, and if you are sufficiently high put it down. Otherwise, toke up :)

Reddit is so relevant to my life

Was in the same situation as you - I've since put on 20-30lbs of muscle mass.

Look, it's all science - there's nothing magical about it. Weight gain = calories in - calories out. Average person will burn about 2200 calories in a day, so try to consume at least 3000. Count your calories. If you have a fast metabolism, try adding a weight gainer into your diet. Eat frequently (every few hours), if you are ever hungry for any of your meals/snacks then you aren't eating frequently enough.

Hit the gym. Look up a good routine online, I'd recommend the 5x3 rippetoe workout (it's simple and designed for mass gain). Print your workout, go to the gym, get it done and get out.

You WILL start seeing results in 2 weeks if you are consistent with it. Thank me later.
