I take your point. I did not intend to shoot them down or suggest that his personal growth was imaginary.
However, I think you missed the main point of my post, which was to suggest that perhaps there was a comorbid reason for his perceived cognitive deficiencies that were not a direct result of marijuana, but related to known side effects, such as REM sleep disruption.

- DoreenMichele 9y agoIt comes across like your point is "Stop implying that I, personally, need to quit toking every day." Because the idea that drugs impair cognitive performance is hardly novel. It sounds like you feel personally threatened and you feel some need to shoot down the well established scientific fact that drugs impair cognitive function. There may be more going on in his life than marijuana impairing cognitive function, but you have absolutely no basis whatsoever to assert that they are wrong about their own life and there is some other explanation for the cognitive effects they experienced.
- Toast_25 9y agoHow do you mitigate the effects of marijuana on REM? I (mostly) quit even light drinking because I need a good nights sleep to function. I don't smoke much anymore, but more because I don't feel like I have a safe place to kick back and smoke than anything else. When I do smoke I feel tired the next day.
