You aren't doing very technical work. Neither are mafoo and his friend(s). It's easy to exaggerate as most do and say, "I know a lot of people" who can prove your assertion wrong.
Explain why? An engineer who has to apply some of the most difficult mathematical forumulas in their work daily...a researcher for unmapping the DNA genome to develop better cures for cancer? You, me, and everyone on here isn't even smart enough for this kind of work. It's a fair bet to say these people don't smoke weed on the regular.

Kompressor, nice. Most on that list have admitted experimenting.

I am right and make perfect sense. Weed slows you down. For those who have any propensity for depression/anxiety, it's guaranteed to get worse.

Lists like what kompressor came up with and heresay with vague descriptions are the best anyone can do. You can make a job title sound flashy, but my point has not been legitimately refuted.

Success in terms of street smarts (CEO's) or extremely hard work (outside of right brained thinking careers) are vast majority non-smoking people. They may have tried it, but it's not their thing.

lol

you know nothing about most people on here.

but I expect nothing less in your comments.

It was revealed that intense use of marijuana during the second trimester of pregnancy reduces composite, short-term memory and quantitative scores in children.

Desisters were similar to persisters in that desisters continued to display serious problems in anxiety, failure to graduate from high school, no post high school education, being a nonstudent and unemployed, daily cigarette use, and weekly marijuana use.

i even APA'd it for you bitches'.

Every finding is consistent with my personal experience as a user and consistent with what I have viewed in peers and their success levels as users/non users.

Someone mentioned it before. Stoner all day everyday I don't see getting things done. I believe in moderation of everything. I ain't a saint I do over indulge in somethings (Internet/videogames). There is a point where yes you can be smoking too much weed. Broad statements aren't accurate i.e you smoke weed your an unproductive hippy. There are people who can smoke weed and still get things done. Everyone is different
Don't get mad bro that you feel weed isn't a positive in your life.

Back to the Real topic here. YES I WOULD HIT THAT!!!!!!!!!!!

22% of Teachers Smoke Weed
FROM THE BBC

The weed and the web


Some people seem to be taking the "high" in hi-tech rather too literally.

A survey about cannabis use has found that people who work in the technology industry are the most likely to have tried the drug.

The results reveal that almost a third of those who admitted they had tried cannabis worked in the technology and telecommunications industries.

Overall the survey found that 72% of those questioned admitted that they had tried the drug at one time or another.

Top tokers

Almost 92% of the people that work in the technology and telecommunications industries answered "yes" to the survey's question asking if they had ever smoked cannabis.

"Obviously, cannabis users work in a variety of professions," said James Malach, creative director at technology firm TongueWag, which commissioned the survey, "but the high proportion of users in the IT sector is considerably higher than we suspected."

The industry sector with the second largest group of admitted users is the financial world in which almost 79% said they had once been users of cannabis.

Least likely to be cannabis users were those employed in the leisure and travel industry. Only 61.5% of those questioned that worked in this group confessed that they had used it.

Despite being the biggest group of users, technology workers were not the most regular smokers of cannabis.

About 22% of those questioned who work in the teaching profession said they tried the drug on almost a daily basis.

The survey questioned 1000 people aged between 18 and 35 across the UK.

some might think that constitutes being a stoner.



how many times does one have to "try" it.

Well, I try it a lot.

There's a lot of strains out there, and when I find the one I like the most, I'll admit I'm a pot smoker. Right now, I'm just experimenting, man.

1000 people 18-35. Most teachers I assume are over that age.

I did a study once, and the findings might be a helpful contribution to this thread. I discovered that stoners tend to be magical people with rainbows shooting out of their asses. They don't sin, nor do they ever allow weed to get in the way of their superhuman calculations or thought processes. Potheads don't always feel the need to flaunt their love for this drug, because their internal cockiness that it is the greatest substance ever grown on this planet is enough for them. These connoisseurs of fragrant, sparkling herbs are intellectually and spiritually superior creatures and that is a scientific fact.

Wow. I couldnt finish your post because your being a presumptive asshole.

You don't know how smart I am or am not. Your vast number of assumptions about other people only hint at betraying your own lack of intelligence.

And as far as the work I described, which you said isnt very technical, try reading Marx and Engel's Das Kapital, Emile Durkheim' Division of Labor, Max Weber's Protestant Ethic, The Great Transformation by Karl Polanyi, Neoliberalism by David Harvey (some of my favorites) and then tell me the concepts are easy to understand and lack important, technical relevance in the structure of our societies..? Marshal McLuhan?

My post may have come across pretty aggressive, I kinda felt that way at first in responding. I suspect that not having eaten but having drank a lot of coffee would have influenced that. The point being that yes drugs influence your behaviour/reaction/mental state/capabilities etc, but recognizing and understanding that and responsible use and moderation allows for using these influences as tools to benefit your intellectual capabilities.
