Gov't Report Offers Evidence Cannabis is a Wonder Drug for Cancer and Good Health

FYI

When I said this I didn't mean they are stupid for smoking marijuana, but the other way around.
Their seems to be a correlation b/w smoking marijuana and slow reflexes/thinking. I used to know a pothead who was taking basic Algebra for the third time, and other potheads with similar cases.

some people I know include a doctor and a high ranking person in a large telecommunications company. And I could tell you I have faster reflexes than you, but I do really suck at Algebra.


omg, 16volt, you spend $60 for an 1/8th? You're getting robbed, brother. Maybe it's because I live a state over from freedom, but the going rate for a Z around here is less than $300, and that's for top quality.

AcIDCOR3 where do you draw the line on DRUGS tho if you legalize and control one drug why not legalize them all?
Us far impairing your judgement to drive well anything that as a control on your mind is surely effecting your driving and concentration levels.
I personally have never touched any drug nor will i. I get my rush from triathlons.

Well, Marijuana is a plant that can be grown, dried and smoked by anyone. Cocaine comes from plant, but is strained through gasoline and made in the jungle.

The line is obvious, imo.

and just c'mon, man, marijuana having a "control" on your mind. It's cool you'll never touch any drug, but I hope you've never taken a drink of alcohol when you say that.

Blumaster the line was made about mind control affecting driving if you was under the influence of weed.

No, i don't worry. Simple possession is nothing here, usually just a little probation. You'd be surprised how many upstanding citizens of communities smoke marijuana. Some states where it isn't legal, even only give people a small fine if they only possess 1/4 of an ounce or less, no probation, no jail time.

That surprises me actually us i have watched the american cops programme they seem strict on drugs maybe because of the cameras then.

Yeah, even our "reality" shows aren't true reality, they overact. They're definitely harder on crack, meth, cocaine and such, than weed.

If individuals in a high social position use marijuana it still does not make it valid for others to use. Certain politicians and executives have been known to use cocaine, since they're in a high social status I'm guessing cocaine is not that bad after all.

Also marijuana hinders brain development for the youth. Which actually may explain why such a large number of potheads (that I have seen) struggle with simple math computations and writing. If it is legal, the young crowd will have easier access to it. I believe this will lead to a a day of reckoning.
 
I am all for legalization of ALL drugs. I think a lot has to do with a persons ability to deal with addictive substances.

I can not remember being 23 to 26 on a night out as I was either drunk stoned or both.

IF I was drinking I'd have a little amphetamine (nothing ever stronger than that ) it made me more lucid and on more than one occasion stopped me from getting into questionable situations.

I also feel that someone popping into a local pharmacy for thire fix would take out some of the misguided allure of the murky world that surrounds it. Maybe with the base substance being controlled it could save lives with less crap being added and you could control what was in it.

There will ever be easy answer to this or other social problems discussion is a good start though. I'll run and hide now .

OOH I have NEVER smoked tobaco only a few funny fags. Also only drink occasionally and haven't taken anything illegal for about 17 years now I think because I did it then I am not bothered at ALL now.

High social status has nothing to do with it, Knight. Your point was that marijuana makes people stupid and slow. Stereotyping isn't cool and that's what you're doing. There are people from all walks of life that use or used marijuana in the past, including 2 out of the last 3 Presidents of the United States.

If it is legal, which it will be soon enough, the youth of America can make their own decisions just like they do with tobacco and alcohol.

Do you realize how easy it is for a high school kid to buy pot? It's a whole lot easier than buying beer, I can tell you that. Legal status has nothing to do with availability. It's readily available all the time. The difference the legal status makes is for the guy who's life is being ruined because he was caught with a quarter ounce of weed and is now entered into the "justice" system.

There will be a day of reckoning, but not the type you think.


btw, I'm an accountant. Deal with math everyday.

Risks
The following risks are associated with cannabis use:

•Even hardcore smokers can become anxious, panicky, suspicious or paranoid.
•Cannabis affects your co-ordination, which is one of the reasons why drug driving, like drink driving, is illegal.
•Some people think cannabis is harmless because it’s a plant, but it isn’t harmless. Cannabis, like tobacco, has lots of chemical 'nasties', which, with long-term or heavy use, can cause lung disease and possibly cancer. The risk is greater because cannabis is often mixed with tobacco and smoked without a filter. It can also make asthma worse, and cause wheezing in people without asthma.
•Cannabis itself can affect many different systems in the body, including the heart. It increases the heart rate and can affect blood pressure.
•If you have a history of mental health problems, taking cannabis is not a good idea. It can cause paranoia in the short term, but in those with a pre-existing psychotic illness, such as schizophrenia, it can contribute to relapse.
•If you use cannabis and have a family background of mental illness, such as schizophrenia, you may be at increased risk of developing a psychotic illness.
•It is reported that frequent use of cannabis can cut a man's sperm count and reduce sperm motility. It can suppress ovulation in women and so may affect fertility.
•If you’re pregnant, smoking cannabis frequently may increase the risk of the baby being born smaller than expected.
•Regular, heavy use of cannabis makes it difficult to learn and concentrate. Some people begin to feel tired all the time and can't seem to get motivated.
•Some users buy strong herbal cannabis (also known as skunk) to get ‘a bigger high’. Unpleasant reactions can be more powerful when you use strong cannabis, and it is possible that using strong cannabis repeatedly could increase the risk of harmful effects such as dependence or developing mental health problems.

I dont know how anyone would want to smoke weed knowing the dangers to you r health it can cause
 
karl, thanks for your official document about the dangers of marijuana. We can all rest easy now.



The straight up truth is that the legal ramifications of getting caught with marijuana far out weighs the "dangers" of marijuana use.



Do you drink alcohol, karl?

This is a borderline political stature whether to legalize or not. Some of us agree and some of us agree to disagree. Maybe we should leave it at that, because I see an endless debate especially the more members that get involved. If I see it heading to a heated or uncivilized (not that it is now) stature I'll lock the thread down just to be on the safe side.

Just remember that this is a very sensitive subject and to treat is as such. Carry on. :)
 
good for you, man. Off topic, but do you cross fit?

No mate my upper body strenght is terrible them crossfit athletes are machines.

AcIdC0R3 The topic is interesting reading what others think around the world its actually refreshing reading something other than steelbook
 
Nothing wrong with boring . My other half has NEVER smoked anything EVER. Drinks occasionally . I have NEVER seen him drunk in the 14 Years we have been together.

I think that it is when experimentation leads to addiction . The addiction than can destroy lives of people around the addict even if thay can not see the damage to themselves.
