Why do you believe that the government has any say in telling you what you can ingest anyway ?

Well the government told me not to take any more than 20 tylenols in one day, but they dont know anything about anything. Stupid government. Maybe I should take more. That'll show them.

lol, would you kids care to post some factual research rather than stories of dumb highschoolers ? Cannabis has been proven not to be phsyically addictive. This means it does not cause chemical dependancy and does not cause withdrawal symptoms. Any 'addiction' experienced has been proven to be psychological; ie a habit that the user chooses not to break.

If you would really like to learn something about the reasons why cannabis is illegal or why it shouldn't be for that matter, check out "The Hemperor Wears No Clothes" by Jack Herer. A version is available online at : http://www.jackherer.com/chapters.html

I agree.... Marajuana SHOULD be illegal. and YES, I AGREE WITH AMARIS, Disturbed, get your ****ing airfilled head outta your ****ing ***.

it is too addictive. and all the ppl who think it should be legal...... u all are Jack***'s.

The stereotypical "pot head" that seems addicted to weed is not addicted because of the drug, it is because of the individual and people that person hangs out with.

Don't ****ing get me started. Being addicted to pot has nothing to do with who you hang out with. That is so ****ing stereotypical. About three of my past boyfriends were addicted to pot, and I have never been addicted. As a matter of fact, when I was dating these guys, I didn't even smoke weed. And by the way, my so-called boyfriend now uses pot on a regular basis and the last time I smoked was more than a year ago. Take your ****ing head out of your ***, please.

mary j should be legal, after all, it's not chemically addictive like cigs are, and they're legal, so why not legalize mary j?

Yes, because I care.

Um, are you aware that you just put in 3 pages of data? I checked on microsoft word!

Wrong. Weed does affect your mind/brain. I don't necessarily know what it does, but it says so somewhere in my Health textbook.

---

ROFL ! Your health book is innacurate, son. Rather than reading a propaganda booklet that presents various innacurate and unsupported dare bs, check out some actual medical studies. Studies done since the LaGuardia Study ranging to ones this year have consistently shown that cannabis has no negative effect on brain function.

quote:

---

Marijuana is a dangerous drug.

---

No, it is not. It is safer than any pharmaceutical drug and is entirely non fatal. The only harmful side effect proven has been lung tissue harm, as with any smoked substance. This can be simply prevented by vaporizing or eating cannabis rather than combusting it.

quote:

---

It's a stimulant

---

No, cannabis is not a stimulant. It is considered a depressant, and that is even including the definition by your SS Health textbook.

quote:

---

Once that feeling is gone, you'll get all depressed.

---

No, actually one does not. You have never used cannabis and have no first hand experience with it as such, so you have no place to make such wildly unbacked and illogical claims.

Just for an exapmle, incase you can't follow, do you get depressed after eating because the food tasted good and you want to eat continuously ? Or after sex because you can't be balling all day ? I think not.

I may not be all right on this

ah, the truth at last.

here are a couple of very recent medical journal articles from the National Library of Medicine in case you believe that I'm making this up as I go:

Cannabis anti-cancer properties

Cannabis causes no lasting neurological damage:

Cannabis appears to prevent neurodegenerative brain problems:

It does affect your mind when your smoking but so does alcholhal when your drinking. Also there is no proof that shows undeniably that weed is addictive. Cigarettes are far more addictive because of the nicotine in them but its still legal and they dont even help with anything.

Hehe...

The stereotypical "pot head" that seems addicted to weed is not addicted because of the drug, it is because of the individual and people that person hangs out with. It may be due to a person's biochemistry, which would also explain how some people get addicted to alcohol, Cocaine, and other drugs while others don't. I don't know of any writing on this, so feel free to do some ****ING RESEARCH.

Wrong. Weed does affect your mind/brain. I don't necessarily know what it does, but it says so somewhere in my Health textbook. And yeah, part of the addiction is because of the people the "pot head" hangs out with. But weed still affects your mind and the way you think.

About that marijuana curing asthma thingy. Some people says it does and some don't. If it really does, I still don't think it should be legalized. Marijuana is a dangerous drug. It's a stimulant that makes you all high and up in the air. Feeling all happy. Once that feeling is gone, you'll get all depressed. Of course you wanna get that feeling again, so you take marijuana again. This is one way marijuana affects your mind.

I may not be all right on this, but that's what I have and that's my opinion.

You need to get a life! quit gawking at what other people are doing and care about you damn self!

I'm also pissed that every time i turn on my television a ****in ad against marijuana comes on. They look so much like drunk driving commerecials its not even funny. I mean come on the commercial with the kid at some kids grave that he killed and it says he killed this kid he was the driver smoking weed. They mention 1/3 of roadside accidents are under the influence but the dont mention that its mostly drunk driving which falls into the catagory "under the influence."

Marijuana is not as bad as alcohol. Weed helps reduce the pain of terminally ill people.

However, if the government were to legalize it and tax it, they would not get too much tax money from it. Most marijuana users would just grow it themselves. It is really easy to grow and get seeds for.

Other uses for Marijauan: Rope, oil (both fuel and for the skin).

hey! are you the genius that thought of the reaserch? NO! your a dumb ****

It is no worse than tobacco, but thats legal. Even if they are bad in different ways.

I agree with legalizing it. Cannibus can also be turned into oil that semi's can run off of. Hmm mabye that would help us with some of our gas prices. Also its been proven that marijuana can help ashma(sp) there was a kid who tried every medication given to help his asthma and it didnt work so in a clinical study the gave him perscription maijuana and it cured his asthma. Marijuana is also used as a sacred ritual in the rastafarian religions, yet they are thrown in jail for smoking it for religious reasons.

so what your saying is that people that have (sp) should take Marijuana to help it! I believe you but wow! there nuts! drugs are bad for your mind.

theres nothing that proves that it dulls your mind or makes you hypersensitive

What's this talk about legalizing marijuana...don't you comprehend what it does to the Human brain...It dulls your thinking faculty ,you become hypersensitive,it creates a certain recalcitrant or rebelliousless in the user.

Marijuana SHOULD stay illicit.

there was already a thread like this 1.y not try looking it up...
