if i occasionally smoke weed whilst trying to learn a language in the backround will it fuck me up or should i be fine

>>81715133 (OP)
idk if you have tried this before, but learning on weed is pretty hard

>>81715334
i didnt mean being under the influence of weed whilst studying but just doing it on free time that i have as long as its not too often (maybe around once or twice a week)

>>81715133 (OP)
how old are you? if you are underage then weed will absolutely harm your brain
weed will always harm your brain but if it has finished developing then the effect will be less significant but after decadea there will be a marked decline in short term memory, iq, and even reaction times which are the best overall indicator of brain function
acutely the worst thing it will do is ruin your rem sleep

>>81715638
wow, ive never heard of this before. i find it a bit troubling. does this require an excessive amount, or for it to happen over a prolonged period of time, or what? are there any studies or articles you can link me?

>>81715334
depends on the strain and how much you smoke
>>81715594
no youre gonna be fine

>>81715896
then you literally haven't even googled
>weed long term effects
and no i don't have every ncbi article i've ever read on hand to give you but that is my recommended source
>does this require an excessive amount,
the biggest danger here is a psychotic break and there are no studies on how that coupled with weed might harm your brain
i would tentatively assert that i doubt you can do particularly tremendous harm from a single episode and i say this as someone who has had such an episode and then recovered although repeated episodes of psychosis can cause major changes to the brain
>or for it to happen over a prolonged period of time,
however, this is extensively documented and there really isn't any ambiguity that chronic weed use is bad for your brain
anecdotally i think anyone who is honest and knows potheads can attest to it too; i've watched people visibly deteriorate over the last decade
the most concerning thing is that it's so insidious and slow that you don't realise it's even happening

the healthiest answer is simply don't get high: other drugs are shown to be significantly less harmful but they are less studied and are less consistent as well as regulated (lsd but there is the risk of hppd)
since i doubt you will do that and i myself also will not do that, i suggest treating it as you would alcohol
weed is dangerous because it's easily taken lightly - sparking up takes a few minutes and lasts hours and there is none of the acute fallout of alcohol
save weed for a few times a month or even just special occasions; you will enjoy it more then anyway
speaking just for myself, the times when i smoked a lot were largely because it was simply something to do: i could get high and then that would be the evening activity or even the entire day's

thats like trying to swim in a pool filled with molasses

>nooo bohoo weed so ebil its gonna fuck you up sooooo bad dont do drugs
this type of advice always comes from people who have no clue

>>81715133 (OP)
You'd start confusing your first language with the one you are learning so your speech will be some rambling mix of say english and french that no one will understand.

you can decide for yourself whether me or >>81716218 has the better advice
i suggest googling
>ncbi chronic cannabis use
and similar terms then coming to your own conclusions
it's your brain ultimately and, assuming you don't go psychotic and schizo, you'll be able to function a few iq points short and with a burnt out hippocampus

>>81716329
bro. you must be a lot of fun at parties.

>>81716355
yeah i've been told i can be really high energy and a little unhinged
i like acid the best but i think i'm the type of person who would get hppd
mdma isn't worth it

>>81716261
i think thats just quebecois talk

>>81715133 (OP)
what language are you learning? i sort of want to begin one myself but i dont know what to choose. im stuck between german, japanese or maybe one of the eastern european languages like croatian or polish.
>>81715638
>if you are underage then weed will absolutely harm your brain
i know this is anecdotal but every weed smoker i knew when i was in highschool, with the exception of maybe 1 or 2 kids, was sub 90IQ. whether it was a preexisting mental deficit due to genetics/shitty upbringing or if it was caused by the smoking im not sure but i always made sure to steer clear of it just in case it was the latter

>>81716899
>what language are you learning?
im trying to learn mandarin
>i sort of want to begin one myself but i dont know what to choose
my advice would be to just go for it no matter what language you pick. if you cant decide which language to pick then chose one at random or learn a little bit about each and see which one you like best. you can do all sorts of strange methods and still make progress. i managed to get half decent at spanish by playing age of empires 2 with a group of south americans online
