The truth about cannabis

Post Reply New Topic

I believe that cannabis really isn't bad for us nor is it good for us.
Fact #1
The laws for cannabis are much more harmful then the drug itself.
The normal law abidity citizens all view every single cannabis user as "losers" with no ambition in life this is abouslty not ture.
I used to know alot of people that smoke weed work for everything they have and there not bad people by all means.
However there would be a f**k up out there that smokes weed, drinks then do some other drugs then ends up getting arrested and runins it for the rest of us.

Fact #2
Our goverment makes too much tax money keeping a substance that is less harmful then caffine illicit
the goverment is getting too much money off prohibition if they legalized marijuana the police, lawers and judges wouldn't be making enough money.
They like giving you a fine for poessing cannabis it happens more often then people think.
What pisses me off is that not too long ago there was a sting operation happening where police where putting signs on peoples front lawn saying we have a search warrent for drugs. Unbelieveable. I think we should go out and put a sign on these cops door step saying "CORRUPTED POLICE OFFICER LIVES HERE"

Myth #1
Cannabis kills brain cells?

No and yes.
After all everything we do overtime kills brain cells.

EDIT: Sorry if this is kinda hard to read but I'm dead tired and don't feel like editing my opinion.

Pot has been proven to help people think outside of the box but this dosen't apply to everyone.
Cannabis won't kill your brain cells even if you just done 11 bong hits of high quailty weed no. but what it does it would stop your brain cells from being able to communicate proprley with each other and all the sober people would be like yeah that guy is stoned alright.

Myth #2
Cannabis causes cancer:
Absoultly not!
marijuana also known as cannabis has never caused cancer even heavy smokers assuming they don't smoke cigarettes never gotten diagnosised with cancer if you can show me a report about a cannabis indouced death please show me the report.
Obviously the most common method of injesting the substance known as smoking is the most unhealthy way and that has never killed a soul.
If your still paraniod of getting cancer like one of my friends with AS was then try baking the cannabis you would even get much more stoned then smoking the cannabis.



Myth #3
They say that marijuana leads to other drugs no it leads to f*****g carpentree.
Seriously no cannabis does not lead to other drugs there are people out there that just smoke weed and never even smoked a cigarette.
don't believe me look up Flufeetalks on youtube this dude has never tried any other drugs except for weed.
If marijuana was legalized it would no longer be a gateway drug. That way people who just want to smoke weed arn't opening the doors to doing much more harmful chemicals.

"Anything in moderation is good for you"- Health Sci prof said daily(Statement sort of contradicts itself I know, but she has a PHD)

My Biopsychology goes into detail about the G1 and G2 receptors in the brain, related with cannabis- But I just wanted to post this opinion .....->

Nothing should be illegal, if people are having problems with responsibility, moderation, ethics and moral integrity, Then I strongly believe there is a more important and serious underlying issue in today's society and social norms that is affecting the way we interact with the planet.

Make everything illegal, and you'll see people escaping with nutmeg, Pam oil, gasoline, etc. and losing great medicinal and spiritual door ways.

Also, most religions, indigenous groups, ancient tribes, and spirituality is ritualized and expressed through "forest" drugs, such as DMT, psilocybin mushrooms, and most notoriously : Ayahuasca

LSD was first experimented with by a group of curious physicist's, and cannabis residue was found in Einstein's pipe.

Was cannabis (Hemp version) not mandatory to grow in world war 2? - George Washington.

My own opinion and ending statement:
Alcohol is the most dangerous drug on the planet, We just haven't done the proper research yet.

Cannabis is probably better for you than tobacco, but that doesn't mean it's harmless.

You want the cold, hard truth about cannabius? Cannabis sativa is an annual herbaceous plant in the Cannabaceae family. Don't even try to deny it.

BS!

Stop trying to corrupt the children with your liberal propaganda.

I think smoking the bad stuff and reacting badly to it has scared me off the good stuff people talk about.
I shouldn't even drink alcohol because of my epilepsy. Maybe I just messed my brain up on its own and can't take anything any more.

I do know people that smoke weed and whatever drugs they can get their hands on. I should give them an EEG of my brain and say 'this is your future.'

Sorry, don't mean to be a downer, just sucks that I won't get to experience it.

Lol

It is more likely that you just had a bad reaction to the good stuff.

Way back when I was a smoker, a friend and I would share a smoke. He would chill out, relax and loosen up. I would be driven wide awake in sensory and analytic overload, mind reeling, couldn't sleep. Different brain chemistry.

I'm happy that I quit, so long ago now it seems. From the infrequent reexposure I've had to it, I now can notice getting a 5 day hangover from it. It's a mind fog. Can't think clearly for that period, have extra sluggish responses, low motivation. For 5 freaking days. Nothing is worth that.

I'm not inflicting opinions or views, but ...

Kids' in high school and people in movies, and politics make a big deal about the social forms of cannabis,

People with very serious injuries and chronic syndromes face many problems, daily pains, and have very little effective treatments.
I would like to point out Medicinal use of cannabis is both effective and is properly named "medicinal" and should not be used or abused in just social settings.

If people have cannabis as a last resort for pain or other, It might be appreciative if there wasn't dogma and judgement laced into someone else's life choices and mindful expression.

Cannibus is fine in small amount just like alcohol, but I agree we shouldn't celebrate it, it isn't safe for people who are prone to pyshcosis

For people without schizophrenic tendencies, cannabis is fine. Even in large quantities. You can't overdose on weed.
And there is not a single case of somebody dying from too much pot. Too much too quickly will just make you pass out. It's easier to overdose on caffeine, and more dangerous.
The only down side to consuming large quantities for a prolonged time is that you will acquire a tolerance, eventually making it very tough to get sufficiently stoned.
About the only physical harm results from burning the stuff. But vaporizing & cooking it into food is a safer alternative.

Though for some people with addictive tendencies, they can develop a very strong obsession for pot.
I know I did. It got to the point where I smoked it 24/7, about an ounce per week. I isolated myself and neglected things like hygiene & eating (I actually ate less while stoned, I didn't get "the munchies")
But I don't blame the pot, I just get addicted to things really easy.

This might be just a coincidence but I was put in a mental hospital for two weeks and nearly all of the people in there with psychosis smoked weed. They said they got the symptoms after they started smoking it and they got worse the more they smoked, only a few had mental illness in the family. In my area weed has become so much more potent in the last few years who knows what they mix with it, just one puff makes me high for the whole day, and not in a nice relaxed way like I remembered it. I think it should be used for medical reasons if they know it's pure.

I don't know cannabis can mess you up pretty badly I had a really bad panic attack because of it once and ended up thinking i was having a heart attack and hiding in a field for three hours and one time I just lost control of myself and my head fell and banged onto the table in front of me then I felt really really hot and started taking off all my coats in the freezing cold.
and It's really bad for my asthma, worse than cigarettes. I don't really think it should be illegal and it's Ok for some people but then again I don't really like it.

Anything in moderation? Yeah, I think I'll shoot some mercury just once.

I think that every drug out there should be legal especially cannabis if your old enough to buy alcohol and tabbacco products you should have every right to purchase cannabis products.
Now if every drug was legal that would cause a new set of problems so my soultion for that problem is that anyone wanting to be hard drugs such as cocaine or heroin should have to attend a two hour drug class in order to obtain that drug they desire.

I actually don't know the stats, but I am don't believe Fact #2. The prohibition of Cannabis is a non-profit endeavor; there is no payback for destroying grow ops or seized product; VERY little pot money is seized, the large cash seizures are usually primarily generated through the simulataneous sale of other drugs by real drug dealers; and the sale of assets owned by convicted dealers would also generate little revenue, and would again be a factor for all drug dealers, not just pot. Also, there is no gain in imprisoning people, just expense. If pot was regulated and taxed it would generate revenue, from sales tax to income tax from growers and distributors, etc.
As it is now, the money involved in the war on drugs is your (our) tax dollars. This money could go to the same people to track down cocaine and heroin supply routes, or to actively seek out meth networks; but that is harder to do, and the publicity, political praise, and opportunity for self-promoting propoganda are greater with instant results, even if they are tracking down pacifist hippies (as opposed to hardened fellons).
Although I agree with prohibition and strong regulation of some substances, the active war against them is not working, and I'd rather see those dollars spent giving vulnerable people the support and hope they need to decide not to use some of the more destructive drugs; my personal experience leads me to believe that the ravages of drug abuse and previous need for social supports (financial or other) go hand-in-hand.
