I will keep this short and simple. I was a chronic marijuana user for 3 years, then on-off for 2 years, before I finally quit last year for good (due to health issues).

There is one side of people that praise weed and it's health benefits...although the studies contradict this, and benefits only come from the specific compounds that won't get you high..

There are many studies showing how chronic use lowers testosterone and other hormones, makes you infertile, and ruins sperm quality, raises estrogen etc.

From personal experiences, weed makes you more 'feminine', you become paranoid, you become less daring and confident, you 'chillout' sure and can be more calm and less stressed, but you also become less motivated and more lazy, you feel like all eyes are on you, that everyone is watching you, you become submissive somewhat, you become emotional, instead of 'conscious' decisions you start making emotional decisions......like everything that happens is the opposite of what testosterone does.

I know I know, there are many other things that happen, but I also know that I'm not alone, I know many chronic stoners, friends, and we all feel the same way. It's still fun to smoke weed and to laugh and enjoy the high and to de-stress.

But it definitely feminizes you and you become a beta. Girls that I've smoked with, become so submissive, i cannot even imagine how they feel when they smoke weed.

And with Canada probably decriminalizing or legalizing it soon, I think our newer generations are doomed. For example, I went to a good high school, in a good neighborhood with barely any potheads, like maybe 30-40 kids out of the whole school of 1000.

NOW, like 8 years later, my friend's younger sister who goes to that same high school, tells us that EVERYONE is smoking weed, like everyone.

I've always believed weed was wrong even when I smoked it as a teen, and I knew it would have health consequences ( and it did). Looking at the bigger picture now, I am seriously concerned about the future of the newer generations, who will most likely grow up smoking lots and lots of weed from a young age.

Obviously good habits and diet will greatly offset the harmful effects of chronic weed smoking, and I see that in many friends around me, who are doing fine, even being chronic smokers...but that's not the majority........majority will succumb to the harmful effects. I can see it around me, guys even in my age, have become so feminine and younger guys even more, and the girls who smoke weed, are even more feminine and submissive..it could be the testosterone reduction.

One study shows 65% reduction in testosterone after 1 hour from THC (in monkeys) in the form of cannibis extract. Another shows reduction in testicular size in dogs, rats. Another shows abnormal sperm in rats from marijuana smoke. Another shows lower testosterone levels in chronic users compared to non-users.

Another shows acute prolactin reduction after smoking marijuana (prolactin inhibits dopamine, so that could explain the high and the laughs, from higher dopamine and serotonin).

Anyways, there are a lot of studies, but regardless, there is a lot of evidence I have from my personal observations of myself and many many many stoners I know...it's detrimental to health and 'red pill' mentality, if you can say that.

What do you guys think? And I know everything is all over the place, I just wanted to share this, because I think it's really important right now, especially for those that live in areas where it's legal or going to be legalized.....

I am happy I quit for good last year, and I knew all the time smoking, that it was bringing me down, but still continued to do it, like a true pot head.......lol

EDIT: it was not short and simple.

Tl:Dr; Weed legalization is going to screw up the newer generations, and produce more blue pillers and betas. This will be good for us? No I don't think so...i want my brothers to be successful and live happy lives, and we need more men with 'red pill' mentality anyway, so men can figure out solutions to our problems and fight for our rights
