      Relax. We can get that right back for you. Now all I have to do is make an incision right there... yeah, and could you hand me that car battery and those jumper cables?

    Everytime I shock myself I remember fresh why I don't like shocking myself.

    uh IDK about you but one of the reasons I stopped smoking is the sex-drive was too overwhelming. I would get high and, rather than read papers like I planned, I would end up jerking off like 3 or 4 times. About 5 months ago I got higher than I had ever been before and decided I just couldn't take it anymore and went to one of those SF asian massage parlors. After that I decided it had gone way too far, and I stopped. For the past 5 months I've been scared shitless that I caught something; I'm waiting 1 more month to be tested since some don't show until 6 months.

    So, as far as weed eliminating sex drive, you're definitely wrong.


    I may be wrong about sex drive, but I think your post reveals some other side-effects.
