Some drugs are not bad for you, but dangerous (DXM, MDMA). One single use will have minimal repercussions on your body, but there is still the chance something will go wrong, especially if you dose incorrectly or you have adverse reactions to the drug.
[/QUOTE]
DXM is bad for you, it trashes your liver in the same way pot trashes your lungs. So do you wanna add that to the list with cocaine? No. Because there are levels of being bad for you, and being dangerous.
Long story short, do your research before you take a drug, know what you're doing.
[QUOTE=Dan The Man;21087049]You're saying DXM isn't dangerous over time but weed is? You're also implying that cannabis should be banned?[/QUOTE]
I said a single dose, not over time. And I said cannabis wasn't dangerous, so no it shouldn't be banned.

It was a bit of a generalization, but what I meant was that something shouldn't be banned because it's bad for you.

[QUOTE=FunkyHippo;20969987]In this day in age we have the shares of people who understand marijuana and those who don't. The ones that don't understand are a bunch of 60 year old people that think marijuana is a hardcore drug, and old people are dying every day and less and less of them exist. We'll be fiiine.[/QUOTE]
btw old people are going to vote for this....they're called the "baby boomers"

A single dose of cannabis is not going to cause damage to your lungs. Not any damage that DXM isn't going to cause to your liver at least.

where did you find out that DXM damages your liver?
[QUOTE=Sleepy Head;21095852]where did you find out that DXM damages your liver?[/QUOTE]
In high doses, DXM can and will damage your liver. Cytochrome P450-2D6, is the liver enzyme that metabolises an extensive range of drugs. DXM, when taken in high doses can cause particular damage to this enzyme, thus making consumption of a hell of a lot of other drugs extremely fatal. Also, when DXM is taken whilst the consumer is on any MAOI medication, it has been reported to cause death and fatal liver damage. MAOI stands for: monoamine oxidase inhibitor, and they are used as prescription medication for depression and Parkinson's.

always learning something new..
how high of a dosage would cause damage?
[QUOTE=Sleepy Head;21097673]always learning something new..

It's something well over 1000mg, but then some people trip on that much because of their weight, so it varies. Other than that, it's serious usage, like every weekend that will continually fuck you up slowly, even at lower doeses

It will make a first timer cough his lungs out.
weeds harmless.
Las Vegas is so close, I hope it gets legalized.
[QUOTE=cmanatlan;21110397]It will make a first timer cough his lungs out.[/QUOTE]
Because coughing is a good indicator of [b]damage[/b] and not just irritation? Fuck no. Weed generally doesn't contain "tar" therefore it's softer on your lungs. It won't ruin your lungs, and it won't make them any better, it just won't do shit to you physically generally unless you take it to an idiotic extreme.
Hell, it might even increase lung capacity.

no, you're an idiot. weed does contain tar, it's generally accepted that there's more tar in weed than in tobacco. but then, tar isn't what's dangerous in tobacco.
and don't say 'it won't make them any better' and finish with 'it might even increase lung capacity'.

remember that a 60-year-old was 15 in 1965
"If approved, the initiative would allow those 21 years and older to possess up to one ounce of marijuana, enough to roll several marijuana cigarettes"
Several marijuana cigarettes? More like 10 fat ass blunts
I wish I lived in California :(

You don't need a proper reason here, that's the best part.

Fuck yes, I live in Vegas and our laws are actually kinda tough on weed, legalization would be nice

Hm... Doug Benson from Super High Me might contest that lung capacity thing with his medical tests.
Either way, I don't give a fuck about the health benefits or costs of weed. That's not what worries me.
[QUOTE=LasGunz;21127951]I wish I lived in California too and had a proper reason to get a medical card oh god ..[/QUOTE]
I have no doubt I would qualify. I dunno what is wrong with me but weed is the only thing that makes me pain free, I mean I seem to have a headache all the time, wake up ready to throw up, often to. shit sucks doctors are stupid.

Yeah but Marijuana was labeled as dangerous at that time. Think about it.
Can the DEA still bust you?
