[QUOTE=mugofdoom;23729384]You were making a point about the "adverse effects" of Marijuana, we're calling you out.[/QUOTE]
Yeah but my original argument was, OP is a dumb cunt and we don't need anymore of these threads. I mentioned ONCE in there that there were negative, no matter how miniscule, effects of marijuana, and since the OP realizes his thread is shit, he jumped on that part to draw away from my original point

Smoked it once troll, not my drug.
Also you do know that the brain has specific chemical receptors for cannabinoids right?
Hints at the fact we evolved along side grass to some degree since we don't have specialised receptors for other drugs such as cocaine and heroin.
I want it legalized but it is never going to happen.

OP is kind of an idiot who can't make a decent thread but the whole "brainwashing" thing is rather true, even though brainwashing isn't the word I would use. The government does promote propaganda towards marijuana including botched tests and downright lies, that's a fact, just look up Henry Anslinger's campaign against marijuana in the 30s and onwards. In fact it was only made illegal in the first place due to this propaganda.

well duh, on this website I thought the fact that the government lies about drugs is kind of known, considering the huge amount of these troll bait threads we've had in the past. That was my argument, we have a '10er accusing us of being brainwashed, it's a pretty fucking irritating accusation from a greenhorn like that

My point is reinforced by the teens that smoke it, then go on to ditch school and waste their opportunities. That was the point really, to talk about people like OP.

Yeah it's a troll gents, this threads gone to shit it's time to abandon it.
Even though I don't do the stuff, as far as I've heard, there really isn't anything unhealthy about pot.
Some might argue that it gives you lung cancer, but cigarettes do even a better job at that, and marijuana doesn't necessarily need to be in a joint form.
Fuck, why not? Legalize it.

Furries and pot smokers share a few similarities. They're both harmless habits you're generally allowed to enjoy yourself. It's just the subculture, turning it into a lifestyle, and the zealous advocates and antagonists that nobody likes.

They were stupid in the first place, Marijuana didn't change that. For every idiot that smokes pot there's two idiots that don't. Marijuana has little to no long term effect on the brain.
"I know a guy who smokes pot and he's STUPID." is a generalizing, uneducated statement and is not proof of the drug's effect on the brain what so ever.

Marijuana (or at least cannabinoids, which are the active compounds in marijuana and are also found naturally in the brain) may even promote brain cell growth.

Tobacco is carcinogenic no matter how it is used, it forms major physical addiction, and if its chewed then it turns your teeth a nice healthy brown.

Tobacco does fuck all positive for you, grass does.
I've started smoking an increased amount of Marijuana recently and I personally enjoy it.
Pros:
- Helps me fall asleep easier. I usually spend and hour or two rolling around before sleeping, now I just lay there happily.
- Increased amount of water I drink, due to cottonmouth.
- Keeps my attention on tasks I need to accomplish like chores and errands. (Ironically, I do more chores when I'm high.)
- I enjoy things a lot more.
- I find I'm a lot friendlier.
- My body feels more relaxed and comfortable, no tense muscles.
- I'm happier with who I am as a person.
- Ideas flow to me when I'm making music.
- Balanced out my diet, I now eat a healthier amount than I used to.
Cons:
- I sometimes find myself thinking sad thoughts, which I quickly dismiss and realize that they aren't true.
- It's expensive and I don't want it to be a priority, I need to conserve it more.
- I get cottonmouth.
- Every time I exercise the THC in my fat cells burn and I get high. (Not really bad but inconvenient at times.
- My memory is worse. (Not that was good before I started smoking.)
- My parents could find out and be upset.
I find my brain actually functions a lot quicker since the affects of THC increase brain activity. I find I perceive time a lot quicker than others so when I play the vidya I play better then when I'm sober.
I enjoy it a lot more than alcohol, it's cheaper, it's healthier and it's a happier feeling. Also, no hangover. I also vaporize my weed so I don't get smoke in my lungs at all. Just good ol' THC. Although I do like to roll joints because it's a different way to enjoy my marijuana and it's a different kind of high.
My friends don't mind that I started smoking and I always ask them if they're alright with me being high. They seem to be alright with it, but I try not to alienate them with it. (Which I don't think will happen with them.)
My girlfriend smokes pot with me occasionally and she enjoys it.
Also Cannabis doesn't make you into a loser. It's who you are that makes you a loser, such as LODY being a weaboo.
I'm not in the mood to debate, but i'm just going to say marijuana is harmless, and hemp would make a much nicer replacement for paper so we don't lose all our trees.
Yeah, Hemp fibers are ridiculously better than cotton and tree fibers.

Very well.
After a long term use of cannabis (at least once a day for at least a few months) your head gets "cloudier" (in other words, you get slightly "retarded"), your short term memory becomes worse, you will have trouble sleeping without cannabis, you wont be that hungry without cannabis.
(Please don't act as a fanboy by saying that the above effects don't exist as I, along with most of my smoking friends, have experienced several/all of these symptoms.)
It should be noted that all of the above symptoms fade away after not smoking for a couple of weeks/a month.
The other side effects are that it can trigger a psychosis/schizophrenia for those that have the predisposition for it.
[QUOTE=strayebyrd;23729208]how about for some fun, you tell us why the government would ban it with no adverse affects! please tell me why a corrupt, money grabbing organisation would intentionally rule out a way of earning more money, that isn't even bad for you? You guys seem to be so "awakened" surely you can tell me that.[/QUOTE]
It was originally banned in the early 1900's through propaganda spread by corporations such as paper manufacturers, the liquor industry, the pharmaceutical industry and so on, as hemp/marijuana is a much better and cheaper alternative to the products they are selling.
However, nowadays we just ban anything that gets you high. Synthetic cannabinoids for example; no one has ever died or even gotten ill because of them, there hasn't even been any larger legitimate study about its negative effects yet governments are banning them just like that. It's taboo to get high off of anything other than alcohol (or tobacco) these days.

How often do you smoke/how long have you smoked? As I said, those symptoms appear after several months of daily smoking, or after a year of smoking a few times a week. Sure, it varies from person to person, but eventually (after a year+) every smoker will experience one or more of these symptoms. They become more noticeable when you suddenly stop smoking though.

I've smoked for a year, maybe not once or twice a week regularly but I'd go a week or two without it then smoke a lot, and I continuously did that. I recently was caught by my parents and haven't smoked since then, which was about a month ago. The only symptoms I felt were annoyance at the fact that I lost an awesome pipe and a quarter of herb.
