the effects of drugs
If you smoke weed does it feel like you've done something but minuites later you can't remember whether you did it or not? And is it normal on weed to laugh at things that are simply not there?

Yes, it affects short term memory. Yes, people tend to laugh a lot on it. They are rarely aggressive in the way alcohol can make people. And talk a lot, often complete nonsense, frequently repeating themselves. As it starts to wears off a feeling of paranoia, like you're being watched by someone (or even some THING...like streetlights or phone booths!!) is also not unusual. It seems to noticeably relax muscles too, so rather than getting 'hyped up' physically and mentally it will tend to slow you down. Whether frequent and heavy use does any longer term neural (brain cell & link) damage I don't think anyone really knows for sure. It hasn't been around and in common use for long enough, and getting honest useage data is difficult as it's not technically legal in most countries. There's some evidence that long-term memory might be compromised during periods of heavy use, ie much later the whole period seems indistinct and a bit hazy. Mind you, age does that too in my experience...so it might be hard to prove for certain. Respiratory-wise it's unlikely to do you any more harm than cigarettes, but of course you don't 'lose it' on cigs so it's hard to see it being legalised in the same way. Basically, I don't mind if my dentist has a fag before ding a root canal, but I'd be a pretty nervous if he'd just smoked a spliff. Sure most would feel the same...stoned mechanic servicing your car brakes...not a good idea!
