[QUOTE=Keeshond v2;21899402]Weed actually has components in it which supress asthma. And i've never heard of anyone being allergic to it.[/QUOTE] It does for the same reason your eyes get red when you toke I believe(dilating blood vessels and shit). However, smoking anything is bad for someone who has asthma. Eating or vaporizing ar the only real safe ways for someone with severe asthma to ingest marijuana. [QUOTE=EtBuh;21902144]Yes some people are allergic, but you can "overdose" on Marijuana, as in there is a limit to how much THC your body can take. For Marijuana to become fatal, a person would have to consume 40,000 times the amount of THC required to get them high.... there is a catch, it needs to be consumed within one hour to be fatal soooo.... good luck![/QUOTE] I think I did a calculation one time that said you had to smoke 2 1/2 joints a second for an hour straight before you could actually get a fatal dose of THC.
[QUOTE=Sparkwire;21902168]you need to consume 1500 pounds of marijuana in 20 minutes to die.[/QUOTE] I'm gonna try it.
[quote]"People feel a lot better after ingesting methamphetamine."[/quote] I feel a lot better after ingesting Outback Steakhouse Aussi Chips (the bacon cheese fries in Cheddar and Mozzerella Cheese). Does that make them like meth too?
[QUOTE=Sparkwire;21902168]you need to consume 1500 pounds of marijuana in 20 minutes to die.[/QUOTE] Yeah, something around 1200 pounds in an hour to die. Physically impossible.
[QUOTE=Keeshond v2;21899402]Weed actually has components in it which supress asthma. And i've never heard of anyone being allergic to it.[/QUOTE] I actually had a history teacher who's allergic to it.

Jesus christ, who let someone like him into his current position? His over simplification and leaps in logic are horrible. marijuana = makes you feel good meth = makes you feel good therefore METH = MARIJUANA :O
The ignorance makes me cringe.
[QUOTE=CivilProtection;21917457]Jesus christ, who let someone like him into his current position? His over simplification and leaps in logic are horrible. marijuana = makes you feel good meth = makes you feel good therefore METH = MARIJUANA :O[/QUOTE] thats a logical fallacy i learned about in 8th grade. he used it as actual reasoning. therefore he didn't pass 8th grade. :v:
Over time, the body can build up a tolerance to THC, so people smoke more to get high, but there is no harsh addiction (only psychological, like separation anxiety, but this does not mean addiction. Addiction is physical). Marijuana can be harmful, but only so when it is laced with harsher drugs. This obviously does not apply to medicinal marijuana. Meth on the other hand, which is highly addictive, will make the brain produce dopamine. But, after time, meth will no longer induce dopamine production. The person is then left with the addiction, and the only reason they take it is to temporarily remove the withdrawal symptoms. Most of the time, they will feel like shit, and when they take meth, they will only feel "normal". Marijuana, medical grade or otherwise (excluding laced marijuana), is not as harmful as the propaganda claims. Meth is simply fucking terrible and is one of the [B]worst[/B] illegal substances that one can use. This man is simply an idiot to link these two drugs together like this. The bad thing is, people who have only heard the propaganda, and not the facts of marijuana, will think that this man is correct.
I want that guy to smoke weed and then shoot up meth, then see which one he needs to get a fix for.
[QUOTE=TehKaboose;21899372]I´ve actually heard that it had helped some people wth asthma.[/QUOTE] Your avatar fits the post.
So ignorant... This sentence won't make sense, But on meth it is.
[QUOTE=CivilProtection;21917457] marijuana = makes you feel good meth = makes you feel good therefore METH = MARIJUANA :O[/QUOTE] Syllogism. If a=b b=c then a=c It is considered a fallacy.
[QUOTE=Kolmala;21921768] people smoke more to get high, but there is harsh addiction. [/QUOTE] Marijuana is addicting? Say what now? [editline]10:02PM[/editline] I guess it can maybe be psychologically addicting, but so can anything else in the world. For example, a friend had drank coffee every morning for a year, and when he stopped due to dental problems, he went through a psychological withdrawal for two days. Marijuana has absolutely nothing in it that's physically addicting. [editline]10:07PM[/editline] Correction - LEGAL Medical Marijuana, the stuff that would be sold to the public, has nothing addicting in it. You can't always trust street dealers.

[QUOTE=Solo Wing;21932863]This is why you either grow it yourself (not reccommended.) Or have some close friends who do dealing to set you up. lol[/QUOTE] Absolutely. Selling and buying marijuana is definitely a "people business".

Some people (and I know this from my 5 pot smoking uncles) are naturally angry and use marijuana to feel good, but after time others will see their high, happy selves more often, so the angry self isn't the norm anymore, so they may think that they get irritated because they're craving more marijuana. So to clarify, good old wholesome marijuana isn't physically addictive. My mistake.

I just hate it when people go around saying Marijuana is addictive, when they don't know what they're talking about. :smile: [editline]04:05PM[/editline] Not saying you personally don't know what you're talking about.
Meh, it's stupid to take any kind of drugs or tobbacco in the first place.
[QUOTE=BuddieBBB;21942668]Meh, it's stupid to take any kind of drugs or tobbacco in the first place.[/QUOTE] Not in all cases.
[QUOTE=BuddieBBB;21942668]Meh, it's stupid to take any kind of drugs or tobbacco in the first place.[/QUOTE] Doesn't matter someone should have the choice to put whatever they want into their body, nicotene, cocaine, raw adrenaline, bull spunk, whatever I ain't gonna judge, just give them the right to do it.
[QUOTE=Superginger;21940311]Absolutely. Selling and buying marijuana is definitely a "people business".[/QUOTE]For some it is lol.
[QUOTE=BANNED USER;21922285]I want that guy to smoke weed and then shoot up meth, then see which one he needs to get a fix for.[/QUOTE] Pretty sure most meth is smoked.
[QUOTE=Superginger;21928046] Correction - LEGAL Medical Marijuana, the stuff that would be sold to the public, has nothing addicting in it.

[editline]09:10PM[/editline] [QUOTE=PrismatexV8;21946192]Pretty sure most meth is smoked.[/QUOTE] [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meth#Injection[/url] It's injected too.
[QUOTE=yawmwen;21946451]Why would a street dealer lace his weed? It would be a loss of money.[/QUOTE]Because people are stupid.
[QUOTE=bravehat;21899680]Yeah, using one drug is like using another. Seriously, makes perfect sense. [IMG]http://www.inquisitr.com/wp-content/meth.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] That has to be one of the best fucking pictures I've seen in a long ass time. Thanks for making my day sir, that was good.
[QUOTE=Keeshond v2;21899402]Weed actually has components in it which supress asthma. And i've never heard of anyone being allergic to it.[/QUOTE] My dad is allergic. It nearly killed him as a teenager. His mom is allergic to opiates. Allergies to drugs are not uncommon.

[editline]09:10PM[/editline] [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meth#Injection[/url] It's injected too.[/QUOTE] If it's laced he can raise the price, since it seems "better" or could get someone addicted to something stronger and more addictive. Common sense man use your brain. [editline]10:35PM[/editline] [QUOTE=tarkata14;21946955]That has to be one of the best fucking pictures I've seen in a long ass time.
