text: what are the long term affects of mary jane? i know what everyone tells us about how bad it is for you. but what have you actually experinced yourself? as far as i can draw its short term memory loss. have you experinced anything else? short term mem loss is the biggest thing i believe. herb smoking hasnt really lead to any other bigger things, like cancer, infections, etc. although it is a "gateway" drug... most people who do pot, just do pot.   personal experience- smoked a little one night. stayed up all night - smoked a lot the next day - and here i am now... in the questions.... the worst i can sum things up right now "everything is nice and slow.... very tired, face is sore."
