• Stupid French prohibition arguments

Hello dear friends of DD. I saw a picture from the UMP (the liberalist party of France) and I was shocked to see some stupid arguments about marijuana. 1. They think you only smoke weed in a joint with tobacco. 2. They wrote that cannabis [B]kills by overdose[/B]! 3. They wrote that a joint has 50 % or 70 % carcinogenic agents more than cigarette. 4. Cannabis decreases the production of antibodies in the immune system. 5. Legalization of cannabis is increasing the risk to use hard drugs like cocain, heroin, crack ... 6. Legalization of cannabis develops black markets and finance mafias and criminal organisations. 7. 50 % of youngs above 17 years old aren't consuming marijuana because it is illegal. 8. If marijuana is legalised, dealers will increase the amount of THC by developping better buds. 9. Marijuana makes you temporaly sterile. Source (French): [url]http://www.rue89.com/sites/news/files/assets/document/2011/10/argumentaire_ump_contre_la_depenalisation_du_cannabis_0.pdf[/url] So my reply about those arguments: 1. You can smoke weed in vape, pipes, water-pipes, etc... There is a lot of ways to consume weed, even in food, medecine (sativex, marinol, ...). 2. I have heard, from Dr. Lester Grinspoon ([I]Associate Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School[/I]) in a documentary that there isn't any death about marijuana uses. 3. There isn't any emphysema or cancers directly attributed to pot smokers (who don't smoke tobacco). If there are any lungs who are damaged by cannabis, media will not wait to show us some... 4. [B]Can someone here tell me more information about this point please?[/B] 5. This theory is outdated. Legalizing pot will cut heads of dealers who sell those hard drugs. 6. If marijuana is legalized, people will go in legal markets... I don't see why they need to buy some to the black markets and get shitty cut stuff. 7. That's why in France + 30 % of the people are smoking weed. 8. France still believe in magus. 9. In the Super High Me documentary by Michael Blieden, Doug Benson got more spermatozoids than before. Facts are better than stupid false theories made by governments. So tell me, why France is retarded like that? PS: I'm Belgian.
In reguard to number 2.... they're not lying, just, they failed to mention that it takes an unfathomable amount of weed to OD.
1. what 2. you can't really smoke weed to the point you OD, unless you deliberately try to and inhale a tank full of weed smoke which is ... no, just no 3. Sounds like BS, but apparently joints rolled with tobacco have more tar - Probably some biased government research, but either way it's worse to smoke cigarettes, which also don't really do shit to you unless you smoke packs for a couple of years 4. never heard this, weed has numerous medical benefits anyway 5. absolute bullshit, there is no such thing as a gateway drug 6. Pretty sure there would be LESS of those if it was legalized 7. ok 8. ok 9. ok btw whats a spermatozoid lol
[QUOTE=futnuck;35039139]but apparently joints rolled with tobacco have more tar - Probably some biased government research[/QUOTE] What?

I don't think it reduces the amount of antibodies, but smoking does slow down the immune system edit:I do mean any smoking, not bud is particular
[QUOTE=Lipsonfire;35039075]In reguard to number 2.... they're not lying, just, they failed to mention that it takes an unfathomable amount of weed to OD.[/QUOTE] no you can't die of overdosing. you would have to die of oxygen deprivation first. and you can't even eat enough edibles to die. the human stomach (spare a few professional eaters) couldn't take it.
Who cares?

Silly French people.
I wish number 9 was true "Its ok I don't need to use a condom im just really high" :v:
[QUOTE=AbysalRush;35040455]Its actually worse to smoke spliffs, as you don't use a filter.[/QUOTE] I've been told that unfiltered marijuana cigarettes aren't as bad as unfiltered tobacco ones because there are less harmful compounds in marijuana and it isn't smoked as often as cigarettes are, which lowers the already small amounts of harmful substances in the smoke. Edit: I should clarify, it lowers the already small amounts of harmful substances that you are exposed to.

Oh yeah right. My bad.
Look at this: [I]L’Espagne a « repénalisé » le cannabis après avoir constaté une explosion de 774% des overdose[/I] [U]Translation[/U]: [I]Spain has penalized cannabis again after seeing an explosion of 774% of overdoses![/I] 774% of cannabis overdoses... What the fuck. It is worse than the next American argument: "If you smoke pot you will become a communist" (when it was the cold war)...

Very deceptive.
