I don't think that a developing brain (13 years old) should be smoking cigarettes, weed, or drinking alcohol. They have found that a person with a un-developing brain who smokes weed compared to someone who doesn't during that same time period can lose up to 8 iq points like you said, but the majority didn't have this issue. But they have also found a lot of positive things that pot does (Recent studies show it can help low blood sugar)
"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
Anyone here smoking cigarettes

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
I didn't really quit because of the dangers, I still enjoy getting plastered drunk on the weekends. I quit because it was a form of mental masturbation, it made me happy in my circumstances and prevented me from constantly moving forward and improving. Since I have quit I've become much more focused and goal oriented.
"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
It’s not like I’m here for help. That was years ago. I visit this site only out of habit, and to occasionally opine wisdom in the Discussion forum (which I do do). I am dating a girl right now, but that is none of your regard. So, fück off.

Never smoked anything, never intend to either.
"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Sounds like good problems to have.bradd80 said:

Haha you've done nothing but hurl lame insults after you were shown to be less than accurate a few pages ago. You're done, tool. Just shut up and avoid making yourself look even worse than you already do. Your ego is writing checks your butt can't cash.bradd80 said:
I"ve never wanted my car or my guns to be noticed/loud. Dunno why anyone would, either. Same with the booze. What's the benefit, anyway? If your life sucks so badly that you need chemical alteration of your brain, best change your life, or end it,whichever you feel better about.
Why do you keep writing "speed dawg"? What is the quotation mark for?bradd80 said:haha just one problem there "speed dawg": I was never shown to be inaccurate
But since you say you've "been around the block" obviously this is better evidence than established medical reports by Harvard and the British Lung Association
This is pointless, I feel like I'm arguing with a mentally ill child. I'm degrading myself just by responding to your trailer park trash ass.
problems that are no doubt very common to your kind
aww, what's wrong speed dawg, are you gonna cry? Does the truth hurt that much? It's ok, not all of us can escape the dirty clutches of the trailer park
“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
Well, my opinion is that bradd88 did good. But as he says we kids still got a lot to learn anyways. So I'm keeping my opinion to myself. Yet maybe the insults could be spared, but he percieves the others as close minded, and he may have a point. But I haven't read the thread in close attention anyway.
Either way, bradd88 share more stuff you know! I hang around with potheads quite a lot, actually, some of my best friends are potheads. But even cigarette smoke drives me crazy. Let alone, just smelling weed smoke for 1 second is absolutley infuriating to me. I find I get very high for extended periods of time even for seconds of second hand pot smoke. No lie. What's your take on that? And we are in a totally open enviornment. Should I just not hang out with them anymore? What do you recommend? I consider myself a healthy person, at least on paper. I am not sure why this happens. And they smoke it with cigarette in the blunt. Am I just being too sensitive or is this legit? Am I real weak or maybe this just happens to people that aren't used to it? Does this happen to any1 else? And what to do if this by some chance happens? I await your reply and advices bro (s)! Thanks.

Nice! Thanks for that answer. I may add, I like it that you, while not agreeing with them, still make an effort to tell the truth, plus, with scientific evidence! Sometimes it's the right thing to do, to stand up for what is right. I agree, these claims are nothing short of ridiculous. After all, "for evil to triumph, all that takes is for the good to do nothing". -Edmund Burke
I don't agree that smoking is going out of style tho, the new generation at where I live seems to be really into it. People want to look and feel good, true, sometimes at the sacrifice of their own health tho?! But I haven't quite figured out why. Why is that? Haha, as Einstein said, "only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former". Running, that we share! Haha, that may be coming into style I agree, especially if us cool guys at SS start doing in! People will copy us I tell you!

Of course marijuana has risks. I’ve never said it was completely without harm. I have always argued for responsible moderation, and moderation mitigates for harm.
(Nobody argues it’s “harmless,” that‘s a straw man argument. It’s relatively harmless, relatively safe, in the grand scheme of things, in relative comparison to other substances, like a glass of beer.)

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
