[QUOTE=icemaz;31096094]What, I'm not saying anything about that. I'm saying people who don't shut up about how high they are, or how much they smoke, etc annoy me.[/QUOTE]
Oh okay fair enough, but that's not really the same as people who 'won't shut up' about wanting it legalized, which is what you said originally.
[QUOTE=ThisGuy0;31096099]That's not entirely true it was shown to increase rates of psychosis even among those without a predisposition to it IIRC.[/QUOTE]CBD, which is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid in marijuana acts as an antipsychotic.
To sum it up, Maryjane doesnt kill brain cells, kills cancer cells, does not impede growth, doesnt make you have an excess amount of estrogen, can make you lazy(amotivational syndrome) depending on the quality smoked, messes with short term memory(only under influence of marijuana), and its illegal because of racism issues in 70s, "Black people laughing at white women, its the devil drug"

[QUOTE=icemaz;31095041]I have no problem with cannabis, but when people don't shut the fuck up about it being legal it just really gets on my tits. Yes I get it you smoke weed you're so cool now shut up about it :v:.[/QUOTE]This, I have friends on facebook who post statuses every time they get high. It's not cool or edgy to hint that you smoke weed.

It's not wise either.

I smoke weed almost every other day, and i have solid A's and B's, a job, and am in honors courses.
Many people i know in college are doing 4.0 averages with being high every night.
I have some fun friends that smoke it. Honestly, I've been feeling like absolute shit lately, I was thinking of chilling with them one day and giving it a go. Shame I have to go to that, but hell, if it helps.

To me it kind of is, some of my weed smoking friends who really don't know anything about it at all consistently talk about how it should be legalised. It all falls under the same boat, if they are informed about it then sure feel free to discuss but the people who use it to be all edgy and such are the people letting you down towards legalisation.

In that thread in In The News about the federal government keeping it a schedule 1 drug, J!NX was in there saying that the only compound found in marijuana was THC. Which is dead wrong, there's 251 chemicals found in marijuana, 60 of which are cannabinoids.
I'll never try weed but I have no problem with others doing it... just don't drive or do anything stupid while stoned and I don't give a shit.
Too bad it still impares brain function. While Omega 3 is good and it is almost impossible to kill you, there are side effects (like with any drug, good or bad). Anyone who says it has nothing bad with it is ignorant and needs to read some books, on the other hand anyone who says it's bad for you needs to do the same.

It's basically saying marijuana is not some kind of weird dangerous drug, and mostly that some pro weed arguments given by many people don't always make sense

[QUOTE=Marbalo;31095171]If Marijuana is such an all powerful drug that cures a dozen of diseases and has no side effects how come it's still illegal? There must be something, I highly doubt it's just the politicians' prejudices about the matter. And I'm pretty sure it has SOME side effects.
Correct me if I'm wrong though.[/QUOTE]
It's politician's prejudices, I don't care what side effects it may have, it isn't nearly as bad as alcohol or cigarettes are.
I don't mind if someone smokes weed or not, but it's really, really annoying when someone starts bringing up stupid facts (fabricated or not) how useful, healthy weed and how it's going to save the economy and why I should smoke too is and why it should be legalized.
I don't need help to form an opinion on something.
What i hate the most about the cannabis discussion is that i can't prove anything. Some good sources say it works, others say it don't. I want to believe it works, but am also careful not to become biased.
So much ignorance in this thread it's unbelievable.
I wouldn't mind trying it but I dont know were to fucking look.
[QUOTE=Thechuz1337;31097775]I wouldn't mind trying it but I dont know were to fucking look.[/QUOTE]
If you know any friends who smoke, that's where I got started.
I don't smoke very often, once a week maybe, but that's just because I'm a cheap bastard.
Hemp was made a "must grow" crop in 1619 in the Jamestown Colony and it stayed that way all the way until the early 1900's when it was discovered to have the potential to be a recreational drug. So in the early 1900's when the big influx on Mexican Americans came and started working in the hemp farms for very cheap some tensions arose. Then shortly after the depression started and the public majority was afraid of people using "loco weed" as a recreational drug, so California outlawed it entirely. It's also thought that they outlawed it to take a huge chunk out of immigrant jobs, so that the economy could put money where it "needed" to be when it was that bad.
Now though, I don't know why it's illegal. I don't smoke because I just don't like the feeling, but practically all of my friends do. It doesn't affect most of them but I have to admit there's about 4 or 5 of them that have bad anxiety and/or are socially retarded when they aren't high for a long time. They're also really bad with their money when it comes to weed. If you can control it though, go for it. It isn't addictive unless you make yourself dependent.

They are calling it a damn miracle drug when all it does is slightly (little to nothing in the big picture) help brain function and gets you calm.

I can't find a single post in this thread claiming cannabis is a 'miracle drug'.

I thought William Randolph Hearst got Congress to outlaw "Marijuana" (Mexican slag for tobacco at the time) in the 20s or 30s by printing "Blacks and Mexicans are smoking Marijuana and raping white women" in his newspapers (He owned the trees and the newspapers). Congress didn't even realise they were outlawing Hemp, they had no idea Marijuana was Hemp. It was a sneaky trick to keep his monopoly going and we're still living with the consequences of the lies today.
