So marijuana numbs you and makes you paranoid and this supposedly makes sex feel better because... of some reason.

THC is a bootleg endorphin (sp?), the bodies natural pain killers. It mimics them just like most narcotics. Everything feels better while you're high. Everything feels worse while you're not.
It relaxes your mind, by slowing everything down. That fact makes you paranoid. Also if you're afraid or paranoid to begin with due to getting caught smoking. The effect of slowing down begins to become permanent, the relaxation doesn't because you don't have the same endorphin/feel good effect.

In some sense it puts the user in a highten state of awareness, but also calms you down, if that makes any sense? You have a higher signal response to any stimulus, which makes sex better. While you're high, of course.

You completely missed my point if that's what you think I meant with my post.

FACT: Both alcohol and marijuana are psychologically addictive.

FACT: Both marijuana and alcohol impair the senses and can cause an altered sense of judgment and personal control.

I'm not bashing marijuana specifically, however I will not stand for people glorifying the inhaled version of alcohol. Yes, it affects the body and mind differently, but that doesn't make it "better".


i dont mind bashing marijuana Smile i used to smoke years ago. i'm a relatively smart man who thinks i can make some observations about being under the influence of marijuana. 1) it makes you think and act stupidly and noticably. 2) its illegal. 3) its extremely addicting. its so addicting that I used to smoke every chance i got. 4) i became lazy 5) it affected my driving noticeably 6) often paranoia accompanies it 7) one day a stupid action you make under the influence will land you in jail Smile it doesn't matter if marijuana enhances sex, as a habitural smoker i had less of a sex drive. marijuana shouldn't even fit in the equation.

Yeah... I might have been slightly addicted to internet chat rooms and WoW, but at least they're both legal, and I doubt I could do something while playing them that would land me in jail lol.

Marijuana isn't physically addictive and the point about impairing is irrelevant because all human thought processes are capable of altering judgements. Marijuana use does not promote violent, irrational behaviour typically. Neither does alcohol in all cases. It depends on individual neurochemistry, genetics, dosage and environmental conditions. But one would be foolish to simply classify a drug that kills thousands of people a year against a drug that has never killed anyone throughout its history of use. Only a cretin would not be able to see the distinction, that or someone with a bias.

Regardless of that entire side of the argument, as I said, this is more about people who have made the conscious choice to use marijuana, not people with no experience of it who disapprove.


I hear you. I agree. Hope that doesn't get me stalked and harassed by a marijuana hater like it has on some other threads! respect It is OK to disagree in these forums as long as you are respectful, right? Mr.
