Where did Robert Deniro say that?
As far as I know he's always been a cigar smoker.

Marlbolo Reds and Menthols.

I smoke marijuana a couple times weekly, it helps me relax and makes socializing easier for me. I also find that the day after I get high I concentrate very easily, and comprehend most things that are taught. I offset some of the health problems by exercising regularly and doing cardio activity.

I don't smoke pot anymore, that was kind of a habit I grew out of.  I however do smoke Turkish Royals.

There are billions of substance abuser and all of them begun like you. They thougt that I am better than everybody else, so I can handle it... Good luck!
It so sad to recognize the arguments.

I have never really smoked pot, but when im drunk I get along with people more easily, the only problem is I tend to regret it all the day after, cos I get tired.

Hey, that's exactly right. The only difference is I can handle it. I was doing it daily in the summer, first 2 weeks of school I just stopped. Then football set in, and along with a few hours of homework I didn't have any time to relax and started getting really stressed out.

Quitting is by no means hard, I enjoyed those 2 weeks I stopped like you would not believe. It sounds to me like you've read a few articles and came to the conclusion you know everything there is to know.

The only side-effects of smoking a lot of pot is loss of memory and lack of effort towards anything  .

Which wear off after a couple days of not smoking it...

Of course, I'm biased, so what do I know.

I've been told the damage is permenant, but who knows?

The reason I said "who knows?" is because there are plenty of studies that prove both ways that I've read about.  I don't think we'll ever get a straight answer about it.

Right on.  I believe the latest theory is that some brain cells are "coated" by some chemical and then released some period of time later, which IIRC was several months after you quit.

No, no thanks, never.

Beware of attempts/studies that seek to "prove (something)".  Instead, you should be looking for theories which withstand scrutiny.  Things that cannot be proven false (or have not yet), have more weight with me.  Read about the on-again/off-again theories that the universe exists in "ether" for more discussion on why this approach is preferable.  In math you can prove something right, but I don't think many other areas offer this ability.
