Can nerds be stoners too?

[Dyertron]

DISCUSSSS.
I don't see why not, but I know there's a few people that disagree with me.

[sugartits]

One the one hand, most drugs aren't good for your brain, so that's one important con for nerds.

On the other hand, Carl Sagan was a major pothead...

[Clive-φ-Davidson ImagesNM]

Many major cultural and scientific influences have been on drugs. For example many Romantics took opium regularly, although I don't think that the way these substances are managed today make it suitable for nerdiness.

[Dyertron]

yeahh that's what i think, its influenced so much

[Micah Shively]

Most drugs do indeed have some rather unhealthy side effects. Weed, however, does not. I've searched everywhere I could think and even got one of my Professors to let me use his EBSCO host account to search for peer reviewed journals and I found nary a one that had found any evidence that suggested any negative health effects from THC. But I never would have been able to do anything even remotely similar to research on this subject had I been high. So you do have a point. THC makes thinking very difficult.

[Josh Braun]

I was high in a five hour car ride and I just sat there thinking about stuff without out saying a single word for three hours. I'm not saying THC improves your thinking, but it doesn't really decrease it. You just think of different things.

Why would a nerd want to be a stoner?

[Kenny]

The only person who would as that is someone who's never tried pot.

[Ado]

it's a good person to be

[Kenny]

Again, only something someone would say if they'd never smoked before.

[dianacopter]

That's not always true. I've smoked before (more than just once, cause the first time doesn't count), and I can't say that I particularly enjoyed it.

[Michelle Bruder]

I do not really enjoy being high unless I'm going to do anything other than sleep. Like, even just sitting there or eating isn't fun.
But I see how other people would enjoy it.

[dianacopter]

Yeah, like I went to go see Alice in Wonderlad high the other day, and I was just uncomfortable until it wore off. My friends had a great time though, so I guess it just depends.
