Hey.. Don't depend on other's misinformed opinions to make your decision on whether weed is a compliment or not. Some pointers for you:
1. Educate yourself in MJ cultivation. Know the difference between a pure indica (MJ markets predominately sell), a pure sativa, and sativa / indica mix. It's the hybrid of more sativa and less indica ratio you want. Pure indicas will stone you to kingdom come, and pure sativas will make you climb the ceilings like spiderman. Some sativa strains are equivalent to LSD.
2. Don't buy the pot from dealers unless you know, 100% certainty, you have the appropriate strain to try. If you buy it, you're at the mercy of misinformation.
4. Grow your own so you know what strain can be used to help you.
Weed does not necessarily short out your short-term memory if you know what you're doing. Weed is not a gateway drug. It never has been and never will. It's all a bunch of DEA propoganda claptrap.
