Good because:
1) Doesn't make me sloppy/display trashy characteristics, which alcohol does
2) No withdrawal/comedown
3) Relaxing/helps me sleep sometimes
4) Helps me overcome the side/after effects of other drugs like opiates/benzos/stimulants
5) I can do it everyday
Love it.
It does help heal/cure cancer.
Just wrote a paper on this... Lol.
Legalize marijuana for medical researching!!
Anyone with facts/arguments against marijuana?.. ;~;
No you shudnt do it............I said this because I can :D
trolling or have an argument to support your answer? :c
./NO marijuana makes u mad angry br kid
take tea instead,it makes peace loving kids :D
therefore,TEA(real pro drink this)>marijuana(for mad noobs)
the substance of course has medical remedies that helps cure certains things in humans like say unable to sleep or bad eye vision or even pain, but of course have side effects that effects the body in an emotion state that controls the body to act, but of course their are safer ways, different other med's that have the same effects without the side effects. and are more controllable then marijuana
and also addiction comes into play when using marijuana
Only ever found one downside and that the carcinogen count is larger. But if you smoke in a bong, pipe/bowl with filter, or vaporize it. You still only inhale a fraction of those. Making marijuana even less cancer causing.
Technical downside is the crime it causes but that's because it's illegal.
actual marijuana really isn't an addicting drug.Quote:

4. No control? I can walk straight. I can drive. Just slower reactions, but it isn't like every second is an hour.
5. Expensive? Weekends. Parties. I get passed blunts like it is candy.
it does get addictive after a while i went 2 years straight smoking weed everyday and quit for 2 months in the first week i was having withdrawal symptons i was mad cranky flipping out at everyone, couldnt go to sleep
same with a few of my mates too
weed is good a for a while untill you stop getting the giggles and you just practically mong out all day (cant be bothered to do anything) and your tolerance will gradually build up so it will cost you more and more to get high
in my opinion use it as a weekend drug and dont start using it in the week (mon - fri)
i take mdma when i go raves (once a month) and i have the best time of my life when i go because 1 gram does me for the night
anyways
marijuana shouldnt be legalised most people cant handle the drug but they wont admit it (addictive)
u take pills that make quarter sized holes in your brain and your bagging on weed?Quote:

Yes, yes, yes, and ******* yes a Million times. Weed is not EVEN CLOSE to being as bad as people make it out to be.
And for people who want to try to drag the long-term affects into it eh-eh, I've been smoking Marijuana daily for 17 years and I am as healthy as a horse, and it's not a matter of addiction I'm not addicted in any way at all, period, addiction is when you become attached and you CAN'T let go of something, I am attached but I could stop smoking any time I wanted to I just chose not to because I love it and it's harmless. I still have my 9-5, live a normal life and even participate in 2 Mile long runs for my City's Cancer Awareness program. But it affects everyone differently, Weed is for some people and it's not for some people.
Shut up, chill out and smoke a joint :) And for the people who try to use a bad trip or bad experience as a reason for it being bad it's not the Weed it's you, you're the one that can't handle it if it was the Weed it would do that to everyone who smoked it. Not to mention all of the Medical Conditions that smoking Marijuana really does cure.
As an M user myself, last time I checked, a high release of serotonin and dopamine, which belongs to the brain, doesn't burn the brain itself.Quote:

Anyways, weed is fine, only downfall is that people that can't handle it will end up doing stupid shit, so keeping it illegal is fine.
And it's impossible to be addicted to it unless your smoking cigarettes(effects of nicotine) within a short period of time of smoking weed or got something addictive laced in it.
i agree a downside is that it is illegal, but if you're arguing about the legalization of marijuana that doesn't come into play. Also, carcinogens are a problem, but marijuana has never been directly correlated with lung cancer, and also as you said, it can be vaporized etc.
To everyone else, no it's not addictive, get your facts straight. It can become a habit, just like anything else can. It does slow your reaction time, but it seems most people like to stay home ("chill out") when they're high anyway.
I really don't appreciate being called retarded n-n. "bad trips" aren't really an issue, marijuana is known for bringing happiness and calm.. If you mean no control as in substance abuse, well that can become an issue if you are the type of person who makes habits easily, but addiction is not the issue. True that it's expensive but not everywhere, and if that's really an issue then one can grow their own.. Not really sure what you mean by "an escape for people" but some people need an escape, which is why it is prescribed for stress and other issues of the like.Quote:

I was going to say there was tar from what I've been hearing but after some research that seems illegitimate.
lay 8D
dont believe FoxNews, these closeminded ppl are true *ssholes
Ah, that's a relief :p I was just reading some stuff about that, another common misconception is that weed kills brain cells, and it seems that studies show that it actually promotes growth in brain cells.
I remember a picture I had a while ago showing THC over 14 days increasing frontal lobe growth but... idk where it's at now. '-' Was a catscan of a rat's brains influenced by THC. They don't permanently increase tho, only for the time you're on it or it stays in your system.Quote:

For all those people who say "No because it's not good" They dont know 2 shit about it!
Weed Is not addictive Weed is what makes me play with my Teddy bears until this age so yeah...
Honestly, its no argument that your always in control because your not yourself lol, and you can't compare it to other drugs, I saw plenty people going bad.Quote:

also, i don't know if you've ever been high, but for me, i'm still myself. I just feel more relaxed, sometimes i think things are funnier than they should be, helps me forget about stress/problems etc. Sometimes i even feel more focused.
All I know is that weed is bad when frequently used as an escape. Things often do not get better when you keep running away from them. Most of these studies, for and against weed are full of false claims. Alcohol is legal in a lot of western countries, I do not think of weed as worse then alcohol.
I've never lost control of any of my bodily functions/habits/etc. after smoking. Some people's body's can handle it and some can't, it's usually the people who's body isn't used to the small amount of Toxins that the THC carries that overreact, panic and ultimately label weed as bad. I've never once in my 17 years ever had a bad trip, experience, high, nor have I ever been irresponsible with consumption nor my actions during/after. Also it has never made me do anything I wouldn't normally do.Quote:

Now all of you shut the **** up. Weed is not a drug. It isn't bad for you. Why the **** is it not legal?
Because the system makes far too much money off of it being Illegal. Busts, Raids, Traffic Stops, Hemp Products etc. Sadly Weed will never be legal =[Quote:

Not a good argument because that's not valid...Quote:

Weed doesn't make you trip like Magic Shrooms, Acid, Cocaine, or Salvia.

You decide when the high takes over.
Expensive? Get a job...?
People who work at McDonald's have enough money to buy weed... you don't need much?
And it cost you less than 10 seconds because not much thought was put into it...
Next?
Btw, my answer is it's obviously fkin' amazing.
I can't wait to try more of the various strains out there.
the only reason the prop in california was denied because growers were too greedy. gangsters like money. they don't care about the weed itself or any positive/negative effects if has. many growers told people they sold to and other growers to vote no for more profit. big growers took local growers near humboldt and killed at least 20 people in a cave because they refused to vote no for more profit. i know because one of my friends is 1 out of 4 people who he saw make it out.Quote:

Don't get me wrong Im not saying its bad Im just saying that everything effects people in different ways I got friends who have been smoking it and still are for longer than I was and there fine ( Some of them are complete arseholes if they haven't had a spliff in a while but that's there problem xD)
My main reason for posting this is you need a option in the middle cause this topic really does have a grey area.
Weed everyday all day
guys smoking in general is bad. your lungs are going to be filled with ash and trash. the drug itself has a bad influence on the brain. Its not proved yet but observations show that people who use marijuana are slower in thinking and get confused easily. You get addicted to the stuff and how more you use every day the harder is it to stop with it (stopping could even kill you because your body is so depended on the drug).
The reason that you guys want it so much already shows that you are already adicted. good luck
Yay, it makes you happy and carefree for a few hours.

If you notice the smoke that is produced when you burn Marijuana is almost pure white, it's not black like wood burning or some harmful material burning because Weed smoke doesn't have any harmful toxins or gases emitted from it when ignited, it's been scientifically proven time and time and time and time again that the Smoke produced from a Plant, Weed has no harmful substances such as Toxins, Gases or Bacteria in it. If it did I would have serious health problems seeing as how I've been a relentless Weed smoker for 17 years now.Quote:

Marijuana doesn't cause you to act slow and dopey after your High has worn off, you are slow and dopey while you are high and when it's done that's it until you smoke again. If it had long-term effects I aswell as half of my family and a good 80% of my friends would all be dopey society-low lifes like everyone depicts weed to cause, and we're not. Ask anyone who's ever smoked longer than 10 years and they'll tell you first hand that it's not harmful, and we of all people should know since we're the ones that are smoking and should have these fairy-tale health problems. Science has proved a countless number of times that Weed may be harmful to SOME extent (Obviously it's not completely harmless I've never said that) but it's not NEARLY as bad as society generally makes it out to be. But on the other hand Science has contradicted itself and proved multiple times that it is very harmful. That's why I don't make my assumptions based on semi-biased Science Studies, I base it on my own 17 year old experience, and my own family and friend's experience.
If Weed had such bad long term effects then why isn't my Uncle who's a bigger smoker than me dead yet or in the hospital hooked up to a machine to help him breath? He's 68 years old and he's smoked since he was 15. That's 53 years he's been smoking daily and he's almost healthier than I am. Or my Parents, my Mother is 63 and she's smoked Weed and Cigarettes since she was 18, she's one of the most healthy intellectual minds I've ever known, same with my Dad he's smoked for over 45 years and he's still healthy as a horse, and he runs with me in our City's 2-Mile long Cancer Awareness programs. Like I said I don't speak from some poppycock biased Science study that is probably 50% exaggerated, I speak from decades of my own personal experience and decades and decades of my Family's personal experience. The only thing bad with Weed is that it causes the weak-minded, intellectually unstable people to freak out and give it a bad name. Never once in the history of Life has there ever been a single case of;
A.) Someone dying due to Marijuana related issues
B.) Someone dying due to 'Long-Term' effects
C.) Someone acting like a maniac and committing crimes, or murder
D.) Someone overdosing (It's literally physically impossible to OD on Weed)
E.) Someone having serious even partial life-threatening health issues
Again Weed is only for some people, I'm not saying everyone should smoke Weed it's for certain people and not for certain people. In-General though Weed itself is not a bad thing, Society and the Media have all gave Weed a bad name and labeled it as a Drug to keep it illegal. The Media and our public outliers portray it to be bad so that they can continue making heaps of money off of it being Illegal. Weed is not a Drug by the way, a Drug is Crack, Cocaine, Meth, Shrooms, etc. Those are all addicting and they DO cause serious short-term and long-term health problems and can kill you, Weed is not addicting, the only way it is addicting is if you have no control over your life and you are a weak-minded person. I'm not addicted to weed, like I said I could choose to quit any second if I wanted to I could say to myself right now to never pick up a joint again, but I don't because I choose not to because I know it's not going to hurt me and I love it, I don't choose not to because I can't put it down, there's a difference between addiction and a choice.
Either way bottom line is, once again, I know first-hand from 17 years of daily smoking that Weed is not as harmful as everyone thinks and I know that it hasn't and it isn't going to hurt me. The positive things that come from weed outnumber the negative things exponentially. So while you guys are living your everyday normal repetitive boring life I'll be puffin' on a nice fat joint experiencing life how it should be experienced. I hope some of you who have such a bad view on Weed come to your senses and enjoy a magnificent Plant that God has given us to enjoy.
Edit:
Also if Weed was so bad Tens-Of Thousands of Doctors Nation-wide wouldn't recommend it to Patients. Weed even cures Health Problems, Cannabis is a remedy that cures over 75 Medical Conditions. Weed is an Herb, a Medicine, not a Drug. My Doctor is a licensed profession and he's been a licensed Doctor for over 40 years, we've talked about this many times and he agrees that Weed is not harmful, if anyone should know about the supposed health issues of smoking Weed it would be a Licensed Professional Doctor.
dude its pointless making this thread coz no1 is gonna bother reading your s.a on fokin weed.
Why don't we let people decide for themselves instead of judging for each other.
Well, not making anyone decide, it's an argument, that's the whole point of this section...
btw, @ the picture waffle posted, i see a lot of bad things but i dont see any sources cited. ;~;
I can see a few things in the picture that are untrue just by scanning through. Is that image old? The facts may be made up or outdated..
this is funny cause u kids r all sober hahahaa
It is ok an all to use it for medical reasons because you have to regulate how much you smoke but my point is that you shouldnt say to kids like: hey go use weed its cool and nothing is dangerous about it. because that is just not true.Quote:
