Shit's about to go down in California in November, Marijuana legalization up on the ballot - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Cael;21009097]And you defend your argument, despite evidence against your argument. Worst of all, you refuse to acknowledge evidence against your argument. I assume there's not a single article out there that could possibly involve negative side effects of marijuana that's true, right?[/QUOTE] There was just an article that found a link between heavy marijuana use and psychosis later in life. I accepted the results, and ignored them.

[QUOTE=PrismatexV8;21009072]Why earn your emotions when you can amplify them and bring them to different places?[/QUOTE] Why bother doing anything if you could simply veg out on a couch for weeks at a time? Life is for the living.

Oh fuck illegalize this drug it hurts people's brains!

[QUOTE=Gummylamb;21009100]he doesn't like it when people have fun, you forgot that[/QUOTE] i'd be p pissed if people were having fun without me too

[QUOTE=Cael;21009111]Why bother doing anything if you could simply veg out on a couch for weeks at a time? Life is for the living.[/QUOTE] So you think wanting to get more fun out of life is the same as sitting on a couch not amounting to anything? Smart man, I can tell you've never done weed in your life, you're too smart for that devil's drug.

[QUOTE=Cael;21009111]Why bother doing anything if you could simply veg out on a couch for weeks at a time? Life is for the living.[/QUOTE] Surprisingly, I don't veg out for weeks at a time. I manage to be a very productive member of society.

[QUOTE=Kybalt;21009113]i'd be p pissed if people were having fun without me too[/QUOTE] I can kinda understand where he's coming from with the whole "they're having fun without me ;(" but it's unfair to make it illegal because he can't get in on it because it's "illegal and baaad"

[QUOTE=Cael;21009111]Why bother doing anything if you could simply veg out on a couch for weeks at a time? Life is for the living.[/QUOTE] Okay, meaning of life question? There is no meaning of life, other then the one you make for yourself, if someone is happy doing that, who the fuck are you to tell them how to spend their lives? Stop being a self righteous asshole and let people do what they want to do as long as it's not affecting you.

[QUOTE=Kybalt;21009108]You haven't show a single scientific article documenting your claims.[/QUOTE] [quote]A survey conducted in 2005 by the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) estimated 97.5 million Americans aged 12 or older tried marijuana at least once in their lifetimes, representing 40.1% of the U.S. population in that age group. The number of past year marijuana users in 2005 was approximately 25.4 million (10.4% of the population aged 12 or older) and the number of past month marijuana users was 14.6 million (6.0%). According to the United Nations estimate, 141 million people around the world use marijuana. This represents about 2.5 percent of the world population. Source: United Nations Office for Drug Control and Crime Prevention, Global Illicit Drug Trends 1999 (New York, NY: UNODCCP, 1999), p. 91. Reaction time for motor skills, such as driving, is reduced by 41% after smoking 1 joint and is reduced 63% after smoking 2 joints. There have been over 7,000 published scientific and medical studies documenting the damage that marijuana poses. Not one study has shown marijuana to be safe. Data has shown that people high on marijuana show the same lack of coordination on standard "drunk driver" tests as do people who have had too much to drink. Another area of marijuana statistics is drug abuse violations and arrests. There were a total of 1,846,351 state and local arrests for drug abuse violations in the United States during 2005. Of the drug arrests, 4.9% were for marijuana sale/manufacturing and 37.7% were for marijuana possession. In fiscal year 2003, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) made 5,679 arrests related to cannabis, accounting for 20.9% of all DEA arrests during the year. This is an increase from fiscal year 2002, when 5,576 cannabis-related arrests were made by the DEA, accounting for 18.5% of all DEA arrests. In 1995, 165,000 people entering drug treatment programs reported marijuana as their primary drug of addiction, showing they need help to stop using the drug. A typical joint contains between 0.5 and 1.0 gram of cannabis plant matter, which varies in THC content between 5 and 150 milligrams.[/quote] [url]http://www.marijuana-addiction.info/statistics.htm[/url]

[QUOTE=rathat48;20958845]because cig smoke is desgusting, weed smoke smells ok, it shouldn't bother you much.[/QUOTE] The stoners at school smell like absolute crap. Yes it is weed, with the occasional straight ciggarette thrown in. You do not want to be downwind of the church across the road before or after school.

[QUOTE=Gummylamb;21009112]The side effects are so miniscule, headache, a MINOR headache? Oh fuck illegalize this drug it hurts people's brains![/QUOTE] The side effects were listed a page ago. Why don't you read them? They include more than just a minor headache.

[QUOTE=Cael;21009171]The side effects were listed a page ago. Why don't you read them? They include more than just a minor headache.[/QUOTE] ok hold on [editline]11:58PM[/editline] yeah so all of those were minor

[QUOTE=PrismatexV8;21009155]That's not a study. That's a profiteer trying to cure people of marijuana "addiction".[/QUOTE] Yes, because statistics become irrelevant once someone is using them in their favor.

I sat next to this kid who obviously smoked a cigarette or so every morning, I kinda like the smell :saddowns:

[QUOTE=Cael;21009184]Yes, because statistics become irrelevant once someone is using them in their favor.[/QUOTE] Link me to some actual studies. :smugdog:

"Not one study has shown marijuana to be safe." AKA: How to spot a biased article

[QUOTE=Cael;21009153][url]http://www.marijuana-addiction.info/statistics.htm[/url][/QUOTE] Biased as fuck, but whatever. First off, it's talking about while stoned, second off, statistics of how many people do something don't correlate to whether or not it's actually bad. Secondly, they have once citation on their page, which gives them virtually no credit, as you can write anything you want on the internet. This is not a scientific source documenting your claims. This is a blog that makes the same claims as you.

[QUOTE=Cael;21009200]What exactly is your definition of minor?[/QUOTE] If I wanted to scare people I'd say the worst tier of a symptom to keep them away [editline]12:02AM[/editline] Yes, tier, I couldn't think of a better word (probably because I've done weed 4 times in my life)

[QUOTE=Cael;21009200]What exactly is your definition of minor?[/QUOTE] Oh no anxiety while high. Well shit, don't do pot then, not complicated.

[QUOTE=Kybalt;21009244]Oh no anxiety while high. Well shit, don't do pot then, not complicated.[/QUOTE] Probably get anxious because you let yourself get anxious
