Does smoking weed give you super debating powers?
I want to open up a debate about marijuana use and its relation to debate websites. Marijuana turns me into a super genius, it's just a simple fact. If more of you createdebate users smoked weed we could have a higher level of discourse here.
Smoking marijuana causes:
*Increased creativity
*A relaxed, level headed demeanor
*Intellectual flexibility
*Intense focus
= Super genius debating powers
Yeah brah.......totally.

Marijuana has a varying effect depending upon the person. For some, it impairs. For others, it boons. In both cases though, it usually relaxes. And a relaxed debater is an efficient debater. So for the most part, I'd say weed, for an intellectual, would have a positive effect. Side: Yeah brah.......totally.
Also, most people don't understand that there are two types of marijuana with quite different effects. Indica is the type of marijuana typical to the media, which causes a lazy, dumbed-down effect. Sativa on the other hand boosts energy and increases creativity. I only like to smoke sativa strains, especially in the morning. Smoking a heavy indica in the morning will ruin your productivity for the day. I suggest sativa strains for createdebate.com users. Side: Yeah brah.......totally.

Considering the harmful effects marijuana has on the brain. It does not at all help your debating, if anything it clearly makes you worse. Hallucinations Delusions Impaired memory Disorientation Altered responses to visual stimuli Increased tremulousness Problems with sustained attention and memory Poor problem-solving skills Side: This man is impaired.
Drugs are bad for you. End of. Aside from tea of course, and coffee isn't too bad, and apparently chocolate is a drug as well, we also should allow all soft drinks containing caffeine, and of course we should allow cocoa. I should also mention that glutamic acid is found in some types of cheese and there are traces of dopmine in bananas; turkey contains tryptophan and spinach contains a stress-reliving form of potassium. Salmon contains docosahexaenoic acid (drug which makes you smarter!), sugar can give you mood swings and large doses of nutmeg make you high. Aside from these one or two exceptions, which really are quite harmless, drugs are bad and should be banned. Side: This man is impaired.
