Default What happens to retarded individuals who smoke marijuana? - 12-12-2008, 09:53 AM

Sometimes I've heard it said that marijuana can sometimes make someone retarded. So what happens if someone who is already retarded smokes marijuana? Does it have an opposite effect and they seem non-retarded? Or do they become some sort of super-retard?

Bad idea. But they would get high just like everybody else. It could really scare them, depending on their situation.

well thats a interesting question. im not sure if that can really be known because i dont think someone with a mental retardation would be smoking weed. even if they did i think that would be really harmful to them since they already have a severe mental problem. i heard that second hand smoke is very harmful to them so if i had to guess, i wud say that smoking weed would be extremely harmful to them. but i dont think it has ever been really proved.

haha, super retarded. This question entertained me.You get'retarded'from smoking big amounts of marijuan, not one joint so for this'retarded'person to become some form of'super-retarded'he or she would have to smoke a shit load of tokes and i'm guessing under the care of a carer, the retarded person would not be allowed to smoke pot. but if they did smoke it in excessive amounts i assume, that he or she or it would be placed higher up on the retarded scale, so yes, if you like, super retarded

LOL!"Or do they become some sort of super-retard?"Haha! Are you stoned writing this? This was one of the funniest things I've heard all day, you get a star from me. hahaI don't think smoking marijuana can make you retarded permanently, it just might make you slower while you're doing it.As for retarded person smoking, they'd probably just mellow out and get high like everyone else? Not sure?Good question!!

Smoking marijuana does not kill brain cells, make you stupid, lower your IQ nor does it affect your ability to learn.So your entire theory makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

LMAO oh people make me laugh! weed does not make you retarded lol maybe if you only smoke it like once a year you might not be about to find your feet but it really doesnt, nor does it make you slow... so for your question it depends on what the person has... like david sazuki who is a super famous and smart naturalist smokes it a lot. he has bad arthitis in his hands... and he's briliant! and i know someone who has a very bad stutter to the point where you cant understand them... but when they smoke up they can talk fine, no stutter anything... and as for someone being mentally handicap i dont believe that it would be bad for them, if anything it would help cuz it could help with the thought procces a little more... but i highly dought that they would trip out... that wont happen unless you give them acid or the weed was lacedBTW: if smoking weed makes you retarded then why the hell is my IQ 128??? i've smoked it everyday for almost 5 years
