I'm still waiting for an answer.

How is eating a pot brownie and playing video games in your basement bad for you?

It is possible to drink yourself to hospitilization, mental and physical, or even to death. You can literally sit down and in a few hours drink yourself to blood poisoning.
While not as immediate, It is possible to contract lung cancer, emphyzema, and throat cancer from smoking, and nicotine itself is lethal in high doses.
There has yet to be found ONE marijuana health related death anywhere in the world. Every cancer associated with potsmokers was found in potsmokers that also smoked cigarettes, and it occurs less in smokers of both than in smokers of cigarettes.
If you think I'm wrong then please by all means prove me wrong.

Hey, im all for it. :0)

You forgot the most important thing

It makes you laugh.


it also takes pain away, hell last week I got pretty sick, throwing up and such.. I smoked a bowl, made the throwing up go away and I could eat also! Sure there are medications for that, but Im not into sticking things up my ***.

lets just talk about how great pot is.

Its tastey
Its green
Its white
Its orange
Its red
Its purple
It smells good
It feels good
It can make you calm
It can make you hyper
It makes you hungry
It makes your senses vibrant
It can make you think
It can let you avoid thinking
It makes you smile
It elimintates bordem
It makes you comfortable
It gives you an excuse to buy cool glass pipes
It gets rid of hangovers
It can wake you up in the morning
It can make you sleep at night
It can introduce you to neat new people
It can bring families closer
Marijuana can do almost anything but kill you.

Okay, marine with your little "not safe--should be illegal" arguement, what about alcohol and cigarettes. Alcohol is the leading cause of car accidents, cigarettes of lung cancer. Both are addictive and more deadly than marijuana.

Wow. (That's all I 'm gonna bother saying.)

ok

I've already replied to your thread. By the way Bantabaco, just because you're a newbie, let me let you in on a little secret. Never tell other people in a completely different thread to check out another thread. It's not cool.

people read the one about the new epidemic it is something way more important than the legalization of pot

MMM no, hot chocolate all the way.

Coffee? Oh yeah-hard stuff to beat right there!

COFFEE? COFFEE, COFFEE, COFFEE!!!

Amen to that.

Marine you know nothing about addiction. Let me tell you I was addicted to cocaine pretty bad. When you blow all your money on coke and have withdrawls and can go through out the day without blowing some coke. Thats an addiction.

marijuana ive smoked plenty and I never had the urge to smoke more like with cocaine.

Caffine is more addictive then marijuana. Lets ban coffee its bad for you kidneys anyways.

No problem Freedom. For anyone who cares, pardon my french but, Marine, would you so kindly shut the hell up? You are aware you're just making yourself look worse right?

Thanks risika.

And yet all he has to say is written by someone else. What a hypocrite. (Though marine's opinion was implied, I could just have easily posted an article from 1996 that discussed how marijuana would be helpful to HIV and AIDS patients.)

"More Evidence Shows Marijuana Is Addictive

FARMINGTON, CT -- June 9, 1998 – Preliminary indications from a University of Connecticut Health Center study show that, despite popular opinion, marijuana is not harmless and is addictive.

The biggest surprise found in this study, designed to examine treatment options for those dependent on marijuana, is the level of addiction shown by the participants in the project.

"It's a common thread that contradicts the widespread assumption that pot is not addictive," said Ronald Kadden, Ph.D., Health Center professor of psychiatry and the study's principal investigator. "What the participants tell us -- and they all say the same thing -- is they didn't know how hooked they were until they tried to quit."

When they tried to quit, they couldn't. The symptoms were sufficiently pronounced and compelling so that the easiest course was to continue to smoke pot.

"The symptoms are not lethal, but they will surely make you uncomfortable," Dr. Kadden said. "If you're able to stick it out, you'll get over your addiction.

"The problem is very few are able to stick it out."

Researchers and health professionals have long maintained that marijuana is psychologically addictive. Recent research shows that marijuana is also physically addictive, although withdrawal effects after discontinuing use are not as debilitating as those seen with alcohol, heroin, cocaine, amphetamine or barbiturate dependence.

Users who are familiar with the severe effects of physical addiction to other drugs, such as heroin, amphetamines or barbiturates, tend to believe their marijuana use is optional and elective.

Psychological addiction is addiction nevertheless and many study participants express feelings that they can't cope or even function adequately without marijuana. Their addiction, interferes with leading a normal life, and needs to be treated.

Dr. Kadden's study, which began in 1997, is a three-year project with more than 130 individuals enrolled so far. Participants have an average age of 36, but the figure is misleading, he said. They range in age from the teens to late-50s. They also come from all walks of life -- from the unemployed to the six-figure manager -- and are men and women alike.

The researchers found that marijuana use builds tolerance and tolerance can lead to addiction.

"Many participants smoked marijuana all day," Dr. Kadden said. "It's a vicious cycle. Because you become tolerant, you need to smoke more to achieve the desired effect."
