Pot is not bad for you. Cigarrettes and Alcohol are ban those things and legalize pot. There has not been ONE case of lung cancer linked to pot, pot has NO addictive properties what so ever, and to die from smoking pot...you have to smoke...YOUR BODY WEIGHT in marijuana...and before you die from the actually THC you die from so much smoke inhilation. So all you tightwads that believe what the media tells you about how pot is so bad...do some actual research

I think our friend meant that the government's pot isn't any good. I don't think they were arguing that pot in general is bad.

I think you misunderstand, he meant that the pot was not of high quality.

nice subject, by the way.

If you are going to tell someone they are retarded, at least use the right you're...

Dude, something is wrong with you. You say that is isn't addictive, but it is. I know someone who smoked. They couldn't do their school work, they didn't care about anything and all they wanted to do is smoke. At fist it was a couple times a week, then 6 months later it was 3 times a day. If that isn't addictive then i would like to know what is.

There is a difference between psychological addiction and physical addiction...you can get psychologically addicted to pretty much anything, but physically addicted to only some things, and weed is not physically addictive.

That doesn't necessarily mean it was the pot. Could've been something else going on in your friend's life at the moment. Knowing someone who smoked it hardly makes you an expert. I, for 1, think that we all have a right to do what we want with our own bodies. The government, whether federal or state has no right to make our decisions for us. Period. Why should you or anyone else be able to tell me I can't smoke, drink, etc. The fact is, it's no different than telling someone they can't get breast implants because some studies show it to be "possibly detrimental" to one's health. Try that one and see how far you get with women who want breast implants.

drugs are for adults

I am a medical cannabis user. Marijuana is the only drug that relieves almost all of my symptoms! If I were not using I would be on 8 medications and Khemo therapy, most of these to counter side effects and would probably shut down my kidneys! I am a huge advocate and am about to make some noise in the FL judicial system.

Umm yeah it is. It still doesnt burn completly so you still get carbon monoxide in your blood because of it, and that stuff doesnt leave. It also doubles your chances of going mad, actually trippling it in the case of scitzophrenia

The study you're referring to cited a 40% increase in risk of psychosis. That's hardly "doubling your chances." But it's wrong anyway. The fact that people with mental problems have a history of marijuana use doesn't mean it caused those problems. They're simply more likely to seek it out in the first place.

Who told you that it doesn't burn completely, causing carbon monoxide in your blood that doesn't leave? Thats an absurd leap to make- its based on nothing.

First, we breath carbon monoxide every day- the leading cause of it being the burning of hydrocarbons when diatomic oxygen is the limiting reactant in the combustion reaction.

Second, burning cannabis doesn't produce carbon monoxide the way a tobacco cigarette.

Third, I've been smoking for years and I am probably better then you in every conceivable way.

The study your referring to about schizophrenia found a 40% increase in psychosis (not schizophrenia) in people who used cannabis.

Saying that cannabis causes psychosis is like saying that because a rapist drank a glass of milk, the milk compelled him to rape. That makes no sense, because correlation does not equal causation.

The propaganda you just spewed out shows that your a simple person, so I'll put it in dumber terms for you. Just because two things are related does not mean that one thing caused the other.

In fact, the scientist who conducted that study even admitted that using cannabis ONLY caused psychosis in people who were already prone to it through a genetic predisposition to the disorder.

Marijuana is not bad.

glad to meet another informed smoker.

People read and learn this person is right.

You are so misinformed. Keep believing what D.A.R.E. and NIDA tell you. The only reason that pot is illegal right now is because big pharm companies cannot make money of it. You can grow it yourself and they would not make a dime.

thats not th only reason...hemp could replace so many other things...we could almost literally live off of just hemp lol

The reality of why pot isn't legal right now has virtually nothing to do with the pharmacuetical companies, but rather with the money the government makes from policing it in it's illegal form. Nixon's "war on drugs" ramped up our "on duty"police forces in all of the states to at least a 33% more law officers on duty, and actively in pursuit of these newly invented "criminals." If pot were to become legal, or EVEN De-criminalized... Those officers would all lose their jobs, and the police departments where they work would lose quite a bit of equipment and funding. Also, when a person is busted with a large quantity of pot, they usually use the RICO Act against those people and others that they consider to be conspirators.(That means they taped you talking to em on the phone. You would not believe how easy it is to lose your freedom under a charge of conspiracy!!!) That means that everything they were using for it's growth, storage, transportation and sale is forfeited and goes to a public auction. Even if you're proven innocent, if you sat in jail past the auction date your stuff is still gone. AND... the money from selling all those boats, cars, airplanes, warehouses, homes??? It all goes back to the police for upgrades in equipment surveilance equipment etc. Things like well trained drug sniffing dogs,virtually work for free, but profit the government more and more every year.(No, No, NO!!! NOT "We The People" but the really sneaky and underhanded government we asked to take care of us + keep us safe from ourselves.) ANYWAY... If you check your local arrest record on a regular basis and do the math, you'll see that MORE than 33% of the arrests made on a given day are drug-related, THAT IS WHY pot is illegal today.

People kill people take our guns killers will use knifes poison sticks stones spears and arrows. The most killing by Gangs over drug turf . The war on drugs pushes the profit margin through the roof and users of hardcore drugs are often sleep deprived and in a self induced mentaly ill state of mind and they are out and about on our streets paranoid and often armed for this very reason. The math says this person is tired , irrational and a dangerous threat to you and I the cops our children you get the picture. I like everyones oppinion and express my own I do not like the thought of this failed drug war WHICH ONE OF US CAN HONESTLY SAY I CANNOT GO OUTSIDE AND LOCATE CRYSTAL METH RIGHT NOW ? Honestly I HATE KNOWING THESE GUYS STEAL OUR STUFF TO PAY THE HIGH PRICE COMMANDED BY DRUG DEALERS. WHEN MY CAR STEREO OR TELIVISION GETS JACKED JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE I BUY A NEW ONE AND PAY A SALES TAX!!!!!!!! I own a few guns and do not want to loose them I paid for mine these drug addicted burglars stole theres from an adult who most likely was irresponsible and did not have them locked away. Do'nt get me wrong I have quick access to a loaded firearm but I lock it up when I leave . I BELEIVE THE WAR ON DRUGS IS A WAR ON THE HARD WORKING AMERICAN AND AN INCREASED RISK ON THE LAW OFFICERS LIVES END IT LEGALIZE IT BECAUSE THE IDIOT WILL DO DRUGS ANYWAY NO PROBLEM AT ALL GETTING DRUGS EXCEPT FOR THE HIGH PRICE HERE IS WERE WE ALL FIT IN THEY STEAL AND KILL FOR THE FUNDS TO BUY THEM. Legalize it watch the dealers be forced to get jobs sell it with a very VERY stearn warning of the dangers on the package put some backbone back in America make it affordable no huge profit no huge reason to kill over turf. As a bonus THE GOVERNMENT WONT DUMP THE CHEMICALS INTO THE GROUND THE RIVERS , SEWERS, AND POLLUTE THE AIR IN OUR NEIGHBORHOODS. THESE LABS ARE PROBABLY ONE IN TWENTY FIVE HOMES BY NOW DUE TO THE SKYROCKETING PROFIT MARGINS. Americans fight for your Rights keep your Guns.

I've gone mad! Look out! I smoked a doobie and I wanna kill someone.

No, you don't go crazy from pot. Alcohol, yeah maybe. But pot...no! I know tons of people...professional people I might add (doctors, lawyers, teachers) who smoke and they are not kooks.

And no, it is not addictive. I smoked for almost 12 years and then divorced. I gave it up easily. No chills, no tremors, no withdraws. Nothing!

Nothing but boredom! Yes when i gave it up for 6 months it was probably the dullest 6 months ever nothing interesting happened I went out less and missed the hell out of the ridiculous adventures I would go on to obtain good grass. You sir should light up :D

The cannabis clubs, cafes etc are not having to break up fights THATS ALCOHOL AND BARS , maybe Alcohol causes trouble I would rather see a person drive a car slant eyed and smiling than a drunk fighting to hold his head up driving a car thats a crazy thought.

Of course if you inhale smoke you're going to be inhaling carbon monoxide as well. Different substances will produce it in different amounts. Pot produces significantly less than tobacco. It's important to note that you don't have to smoke it. You can eat it or you can inhale it in vapor form. It's heated to the point where the THC vaporizes and you inhale the vapor. Highly effective and since there is no burning...no carbon. I prefer to smoke it though. It's my sacrament. I like the ritual and I'll do what I please with my body. In fact, I'll smoke a freaking car tire if I want to!

Nobody can tell another what to do, well said.

When you go outside you get carbon monoxide espoecialy in traffic or if you cook with a gas stove I am not out to slam anyone I do not beleive anything inhaled is safe as I work in grain commodities and that stuff gets in the lung and can cause cancer and all kinds of trouble. We should not try to tell people how to use therapeutic herbs or anything else that benefits their quality of life, for the record I prefer edible use but worrie whats in it and any risk just the same mother nature gives no free rides we all get whats comming to us as far as destiny goes opiates are not safe and the other compounds slowly destroy your liver and kidneys please have a look at americans for safe access research links cannabis is one of the safest medicinal herbs and different strains cover so many ailments. Take care everyone.

say you're retarded and use the wrong "your". it totally defeats your following words.

One would have to consume 1500lbs of marijuana within 15 minutes to die from it. Not your body weight. They're not retarded, they're trying to stop the drug war. You're a retard.

I dont think soooo,I have had 3 open heart valve replacements,the last one 20 years ago(besides a stroke in 1977 a bad one).and I smoke POT every-night,so up yours Government telling every-body that pot is bad for you..just look at what is Legal and that kills you,cigs and booze.......
Just set back and smoke a joint

Weed Is Not Bad.

LETS END THIS WAR

Just wondering to people black out while driving under cannabis infuence ? I do not want anyone driving while intoxicated from any substance. I read about drivers being drunk and blacking out all the time it is interesting anyone have any information please post it.

ur wrong about one thing there has actually been one case of lung cancer by pot that the patient/victum died. But only one case and this was because of his/her prevous medical conditions too

You're Retarded, not "your retarded". Grammar such as this makes pot heads look like morons. Stop making me look stupid.

I knew a man who ran a Janitorial buisness who cleaned a buisness of a man who use to give him Gov herb on occasion. I did not use it at that time the flowers I seen him given were the size of pickles like vlassic whole ones not the massive 7-11 style and he let me smell one up close as I once commented I could smell it over the cleaning supplies in the van it had a wonderfull pine smell , the smell made me want to try it but I did not they would cough and turn red and I remmember thinking they will blow or collapse a lung they never did and that work sucked yet they would go around buffing floors and cleaning with smiles on the face I quit that job shortley after that but still to this day remember the smell of that cannabis and the suited man who probably worked for the government . The buisness was probably one of many he owned that we cleaned as he was an important looking man and seemed very well off.

This is kind of off the subject but....Evidently, there is no law that says you have to pay income tax. Don't know this to be fact but I heard testimonials from a couple former IRS employees who have not payed income tax for over 10 years. However, good luck to you if you decide not to pay!

Yeah that's the way it's supposed to work but do you really feel that you are in control of your government these days. Just because it's written in an archaic document doesn't mean it's still true. The people's control over the government is an illusion. However, I feel confident that the people can regain control if only the people were better informed. Oh yeah, and government would have to quit wiping their asses with the constitution and reconstruct it to be applicable to modern society. Things have changed a little since the days of powdered wigs and burning women at the stake for having hiccups!

With the exception of the extremely unusual situation I've described in the post above, medical marijuana is NOT grown by the government. It is grown by patients and caregivers. The only government grown marijuana in the U.S. is absolutely terrible, as I already explained. The stuff you tried wasn't grown by the feds, trust me.

had it gave it away
thc pills are great though
they tell you take one pill
smoke one joint

It can only get so good. Marijuana can only have so high of a THC content. It's not like one strain is going to be magic and have 120% THC!

No one, I repeat no one, wants it legalized and regulated more than the tobacco industry. Philip Morris already maintains several cannabis farms in other countries just waiting for they day they can expand their business and escape the baggage of tobacco and emphysema.
