Besides the fact that the OP is mostly BS, what is your problem with thinking working to make others rich is a waste of time? You think the epitome of social progress is being a wage slave to dept while .0001% of the elite own everything including your soul? Someone needs a good 2X4 across the head to wake them up.

the OP 'title' is from the university.

the paper is:
Acute and chronic effects of cannabinoids on effort-related decision-making and reward learning: an evaluation of the cannabis ‘amotivational’ hypotheses

Someone was high when they named that paper. :lol:

Did someone say"publications"?
Do I have some juicy information auditing tales about cycling information into the process,this entry of information usually has attachments of intent
Another waste of taxpayers money is all these Government generated publications which in some cases,with the end results being weaker application of governing oversights,it is a nifty procedure,Canadians pay dear for this game,both financially and safety wise

Players are needed for this information laundering technique ,willfull blindness is also needed and in some cases senile Justices
Thanks for bring up the publication thing

Have you ever smoked weed? Answer this question and you could be banned from the U.S.


Legal medical marijuana user travelling to Washington state, where pot is legal, is banned from U.S. for life

Matthew Harvey wants to bring his three-year-old daughter Lika to Disneyland in California, but after being banned from the United States for the rest of his life, that task isn't going to be easy.
Harvey has not been excluded for having a criminal record, or for trying to smuggle drugs into the U.S. He's being punished for providing a seemingly harmless answer to a question posed by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection service.
"They said that I was inadmissible because I admitted to smoking marijuana after the age of 18 and before I'd received my medical marijuana licence," he said.
"Of course I'd smoked marijuana, Canada didn't even have a program back then. I smoked marijuana recreationally. I guess I should have basically lied because now I am inadmissible apparently," he added.

I will admit that when I smoke pot I have no short term desire to work for money, and certainly not for free either.

Although I do spend an inordinate amount of time with recording things and re-recording from the Akai reel to reel to digital.....


It is of little wonder that Big Pharma has been exposed actively undermining efforts to legalize marijuana, after new research on Thursday found a drop in the use of opioid painkillers in that states that allow people to treat pain with good, ol' Mary Jane.

The study, published in the American Journal of Public Health, examined data on traffic fatalities in 18 states and analyzed the cases in which the presence of opioids was detected. In states that had operational medical marijuana laws, which included either "allowances for home cultivation or active dispensaries," the Columbia University researchers found "a significant reduction in opioid positivity for drivers aged 21 to 40 years."

Thus, the researchers concluded that such laws "may reduce opioid use and overdose."

"We would expect the adverse consequences of opioid use to decrease over time in states where medical marijuana use is legal, as individuals substitute marijuana for opioids in the treatment of severe or chronic pain," explained lead author June H. Kim, a doctoral student in the Department of Epidemiology at Columbia's Mailman School of Public Health.

And yes, I did replace a belt while high and long before there was youtube to guide one.......

Cannabis reduces short-term motivation to work for money

It does not, however, reduce the short-term motivation to beg for cookies.

Smoking the equivalent of a single ‘spliff’ of cannabis makes people less willing to work for money while ‘high’, finds a new UCL study.

The research, published in Psychopharmacology, is the first to reliably demonstrate the short-term effects of cannabis on motivation in humans. The researchers also tested motivation in people who were addicted to cannabis but not high during the test, and found that their motivation levels were no different to volunteers in the control group.

like, more, man.

More bullshyt by research people wearing white coats and trying anything to keep their job. Who cares what the shyt does.

And this required scientific research? Anyone who has been around those who use mj on a regular basis could have told us this.

Some times it's refreshing to just say "Screw MONEY!"
I like to wrap one and then work for fun

a lot of very good tradesmen I know smoke weed because their trade has caused a lot of gradual physical breakdown over the years, and a timmie and a dube gets them to lunch, and a timmie and a dube gets then to 5
...And no one complains cause the works is done just fine or better...
focus ya dig?

Those that only work for money are selfish, self centered narcissists. Millions of people volunteer to work for nothing every day. Some may even be stoned. Some people just can't stand people having fun.

Actually THC is a radiation blocker in the same frequencies as O2's photon transmission spectrum,
which is in the uv-b range other wise known as sunburn.

This is why the MJ plant makes THC...to protect from oxidation in harsh sunlight at high altitudes.
Anyone who knows anything about anything knows that
If you don't then you don't know beans about the issue

Normally serotonin filters out uv-b backscatter in the neurons, but anyone who is serotonin depleted suffers from more chronic pain then they deserve, because the next line of defence is glutathione which gets used up doing repairs of that uv-b photon sunburn damage in the neurons.
Resulting in hypersensitive pain receptors for nothing, which amplifies the discomfort.

THC blocks the back scatter of UVB frequency (100 to 400 nm) photons created when excited O2 electrons drop down a shell and emit the UVB photons that BBQ the nerve endings.
Glutathione is an antioxidant which is needed many other places, and if it is used up in the neurons doing repairs it doesn't do other desperately needed things...

Too bad doctors don't do physics too or it would be obvious to them also.
you heard it here first, because for some reason they left it up to me to figure it out.

I hear lots of people talking, but most of then ESPECIALLY DOCTORS and politicians don't know Sh1T about it
sad really...
they wanna make law too
