[QUOTE=ForgottenKane;31098086]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.[/QUOTE] You're dumb. Who said it was a miracle drug? Show me where.
[QUOTE=rukiddingme;31098296]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.[/QUOTE] Yeah, Hearst himself was a huge racist, but even before that California, Wyoming, Texas, Oregon, Iowa, Nevada, Washington, Arkansas, and Nebraska had already passed laws that tended to be specifically geared towards Mexicans.
This video was VERY focused on the medical. I have back problems and it really does help. But that's not really the point. The point is it's not really [I]bad [/I]for you, certainly no worse than tobacco or alcohol. I'm not hurting myself or anyone else and I want to get high and watch discovery channel. Not because I'm preventing my cancer but because I like it. That should be enough.
[QUOTE=Rooster Assassin;31098193]I can't find a single post in this thread claiming cannabis is a 'miracle drug'.[/QUOTE] It's called alluding. There are many posts of people bragging about how smart they are and mention their heavy cannabis use. I'm sorry, you aren't a bright person and the drugs made you a genius! There's no such thing as a smart person! Once again: [QUOTE=RopaDope;31097106]So much ignorance in this thread it's unbelievable.[/QUOTE] [editline]13th July 2011[/editline] The video was really quite well said though.
so far this thread has been very civilized usually pot threads are very volatile good job facepunch, keep it classy [editline]14th July 2011[/editline] pot thread rhymes with pot head also, i smoke marijuana, and i support legalization, but i try to distance myself from debates like this because they generally make everyone involved look biased and ignorant in most cases

I'm sorry, you aren't a bright person and the drugs made you a genius! There's no such thing as a smart person! [/QUOTE] I don't think you're reading those comments right. When someone claims to have good grades and also smokes, I'm pretty sure they just mean weed doesn't make you any dumber. I don't think they claim it's making them any smarter.
I was taught in school that cannabis contains 3 times as much tar as tobacco... What bullshit.
Great video, really opens the mind towards marijuana.
Weed needs to be legalized ..
[QUOTE=Shadow Core;31102437]Weed needs to be legalized ..[/QUOTE] yep thats the topic of the thread congratulations you caught on

[editline]13th July 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Shadow Core;31102437]Weed needs to be legalized ..[/QUOTE] No shit Sherlock. [editline]13th July 2011[/editline] Quickly, Watson, grab my cape. We have a mystery to solve!
IMO pot should be legal. It's a fucking plant, it was legal before. Hell our presidents used to smoke it. They didn't do anything horrible, did they?
[QUOTE='[GRiM];31104114']IMO pot should be legal. It's a fucking plant, it was legal before. Hell our presidents used to smoke it. They didn't do anything horrible, did they?[/QUOTE] (addressing the post in order of statements) I agree, it should be legal. Plants [i]can[/i] hurt people, y'know? Just because something was legal before doesn't mean it should be legal again. At one point there was no laws, should we descend back into anarchy then? Very few presidents smoked it, but yes some did use it. Some did, others didn't.
cannabis murdered my dog and raped my wife lol jk that was me and i wasn't even high
[QUOTE=thatguyfosho;31104186]cannabis murdered my dog and raped my wife lol jk that was me and i wasn't even high[/QUOTE] other way around
No offence, I really still don't like cannbis. It smells bad in my opinion, and it would suck to see everyone in my neighbourhood being stoned 24/7.
[QUOTE=ZestyLemons;31104201]No offence, I really still don't like cannbis. It smells bad in my opinion, and it would suck to see everyone in my neighbourhood being stoned 24/7.[/QUOTE] Don't live in Jamaica then.
Making music while high is fun. Seriously I played the same note for like 3 minutes straight. :v:
[QUOTE=ZestyLemons;31104201]No offence, I really still don't like cannbis. It smells bad in my opinion, and it would suck to see everyone in my neighbourhood being stoned 24/7.[/QUOTE]I like the smell, and most people wouldn't smoke 24/7, they'd do it maybe after work to relax a bit. That's not stoned, they will act and function normal. Very few people get stoned on a daily basis (stoned as in, you're so high you just wanna sit there)
[QUOTE=FinalHunter;31104396]These weed discussions are so boring. It's the same discussion back and forth and the only conclusion that we reach is that a majority of Facepunch wants it legalized. Well, I'll say this again, I hate weed not because of the drug itself but because of the typical person that uses it. And this is personal experience, so don't rate me dumb if it's different for you, this is my viewpoint. All the guys I see that smoke weed are idiots that constantly [b]get in trouble with the cops[/b] and are always suspended or some shit. I hate all smokers that are my age.[/QUOTE]well it is an illegal drug...

Seriously, it smells horrible to me.
well, before i smoked, weed smelled like shit but after i smoked i guess my brain subconsciously associates with smell with fucking incredible it smells awesome [editline]14th July 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=ZestyLemons;31104470]There's going to be people who do smoke it all the time.

And this is personal experience, so don't rate me dumb if it's different for you, this is my viewpoint.[/QUOTE] The vast majority of smokers I've met don't fit the stereotypical stoner description. Often I would have never know had they not brought it up. It's the annoyingly obvious ones that spoil it for everyone. On a kind of related note, I just got back from a short trip to California. I'm now back in ass-backwards Louisiana and fighting the desire to pack up all my shit and buy a one-way ticket. ($45 for 1/8 of Jupiter Kush? Relaxed laws? Fuck yeah!) And to be frank, some of the strains now are so damn potent that a green person who would try it "just 'cause it's legal" is likely to freak the fuck out and back off.

[QUOTE=FinalHunter;31104582]Who cares about how good it makes you feel? Do you really need to intoxicate yourself with a foreign substance to feel good?[/QUOTE]You'll never understand until you feel the euphoria. Do you like music now? Take a couple hits as a treat and enjoy the music pulsating through your body
i can't help but laugh at people who say it has no side effects it should be legalized, sure, but i don't need a drug to enjoy life
[QUOTE=FinalHunter;31104582]Who cares about how good it makes you feel? Do you really need to intoxicate yourself with a foreign substance to feel good?[/QUOTE] Acetaminophen, aspirin, caffeine, alcohol, pseudoephedrine... I could go on, but you get the point. How is there any difference? I prefer to think of it as poking your neurochemistry with a stick to see what it's capable of.
[QUOTE=FinalHunter;31104582]Who cares about how good it makes you feel? Do you really need to intoxicate yourself with a foreign substance to feel good?[/QUOTE] Do you need to play video games to have fun? That's a shitty argument. Saying that weed makes you feel good isn't the same as saying weed is the ONLY way you can feel good.
[QUOTE=FinalHunter;31104582]Who cares about how good it makes you feel? Do you really need to intoxicate yourself with a foreign substance to feel good?[/QUOTE] no, you dont need to but why the fuck not

Saying that weed makes you feel good isn't the same as saying weed is the ONLY way you can feel good.[QUOTE] He did not say that at all. You are forgetting an integral part of his statement: 'Do you need to do this to do it?' Don't jump to conclusions, boy'o. Sure there are many ways to feel good, getting high is one of them, but you don't really need to do it. But hell, if you're lazy go for it.
