What do you think of Marijuana?

Unless.  You know the person beforehand and actually saw how ambitious they were in the first place and weren't actually treating them in a clinical way.  That's the thing though.  This isn't a clinical issue it's a good old neurochemost issue.

The frontal lobe controls motivation and a number of other things, marijuana causes damage to the frontol lobe making it less active.  

Regardless, It effects people who injest it.  The "high" is partially what does it.  That's what effects your frontal lobe in the first place.

The damage isn't quite as bad as you seem to be making it out to be. Smoking a few joints is not the same as jamming a screw driver into your skull. It takes a long period of excessive use for the damage to become apparent. Most recreational users will not see any large permanent mental damage because they are not ingesting enough to cause any brain damage.

Lol the frontal lobe, people with ADD which is about 1 in 5 people don't have much there to begin with. ADD had its purpose in evolution, so I can't say a "damaged" frontal lobe isn't without its benefits. Seriously, I'd smack you in real life if you really think that part of the brain is really all that important at all. Its just that modern society places too much value in organization and conformity. Fuck the system :D

While your blind comformity to non-conformity is getting a few irony chuckles out of me I feel the need to point out where you are wrong here. The frontal lobe of people with ADD is plenty active. A claim that there is not much there is absurd beyond belief. Not specializing in bio-psychology I won't try to spout hard facts on exactly what is going on there, but I will point out that a single pill every day is more than sufficient to treat 95% of all ADD cases. Please don't spout random nonsense as actual fact on this issue.
