i'm not concerned with this study, to be honest. weed, alcohol, and tobacco are all along the same vein.
They are? Oh. I thought alcohol and tobacco were more like "hard" drugs than weed is.
Grouping things together like that isn't smart, even into "hard" and "soft" drug categories - every substance should be treated as an individual thing.
With all this said, I'll still enjoy weed. I don't do it to prove a point either, most of the time I'm by myself outside somewhere.
Best place I find is a cliff near a lake in my town. It's pretty nice. I've never forgotten anything because of weed either, I do sometimes WHILE I'm high, but it's only because weed makes me think about A LOT of shit.
420 blaze everyday i dont need no brainz or ballz

Marijuana is a relatively harmless plant, along with its cousin hemp.
Both are useless for practical purposes minus getting high or making cigar papers out of.

What about for medical purposes like pain relief and relief of epilepsy, MS, etc.

but Willie Nelson had around 7-8 kids, isn't skitzo and hasn't been diagnosed with testicular cancer.

And I have serious doubts about this study, and even if it was true. I will continue to smoke weed.

Lmao at people rating this winner. Now the 14 year old "say no to drugs" kids will think they are cool as shit.
testicular cancer and infertility do sound like things i do not want at this age
aka before 40
too much of a good thing is bad for you, who would have known
Also 20 times a month is seriously a lot

I just love this thread.
Science find evidence of possible health risk involving smoking weed?
[i]"Yesh! This is our time guise! Lets show those people who smoke weed and aren't hurting anybody at all![/i]
In comes a plethora of retards spouting off against something they have probably never even tried in there life.
Anybody else sick of this?
[QUOTE=Matthew7434;37684058]Uhh, no shit?[/QUOTE]
Yeah everyone knew about the testicular cancer and infertility, right guys?
And is it so hard to live a healthy lifestyle in combination with being a stoner?
No. It isn't. I work out/do cardio almost daily. Drink plenty of water, sleep 6-9 hours daily. And have good nutrition with high protein. And so should everyone else. If you do that, I'm sure this plant isn't jeopardizing your health.

so brave
I sleep 6 hours maximum, you should stop being lazy.

heavens forbid that a single plant holds the only solutions to pain, epilepsy and cancer
if that plant were to not exist, cancer would be incurable
also i wish to know what type of cancer it specifically treats and success rates
[QUOTE=Cruma;37684553]study[/QUOTE]
NMDA receptor antagonism has been shown to cause temporary short-term memory loss.
Also antioxidants often are seen to cause harm. Mitohormesis/hormesis is part of the theory as to why this might be. In fact if we're going off of hormesis, using marijauna or cannabinoids would cause down-regulation of endogenous cannabinoid production causing even worse effects than just the down-regulation of endogenous antioxidants like superoxide dismutase, peroxidase, and catalase.
The science on this stuff is way too complex to say that even specific cannabinoids are good or bad in the long run, let alone the chemical cocktail that is any plant like Marijauna. My opinion would be that Marijauna has a whole would have a greater number of negative side effects, however it does seem to have possible positive effects. For that, however, we have synthetic cannabinoids that are actually already in use and have been in use for some time. Also if people think the euphoric effects of Marijauna are worth it, then all the more power to them. That is their choice.
Also, oh god, this thread is 5 pages long. I only read the first page.

Lost it and spit water all over myself.
I can only imagine this spreading the same way the whole toothpaste on your nipples shit did.

i have come to the conclusion that
you are an idiot
Woah woah woah.. Marijuana's a drug?
But I honestly doubt that it can cause testicular cancer, when it was proven to reduce cancer cells. Memory loss, Oh well, better than the memory lose you get from alcohol, as a teenager gets drunk, their memory gland completely shrinks, if you want to not have memory loss with marijuana, I suggest you use your mind more than your weed. I smoke weed, I can still remember everything in my life perfectly fine. I don't have testicle cancer, I don't have mental problems (anymore)
I don't even know why I came here, there is no way to completely prove that Marijuana has never killed anyone just alone and by itself, so many little kids on this forum just arguing and arguing on something that was never completely studied.

Not proven. It was a very flawed study. If memory serves, it had less than fifty participants.
[QUOTE=Strider*;37693191]Wow what makes you say that, stay positive man.[/QUOTE]
you're calling him lazy for having more than 6 hours sleep, which is hilarious since the [URL="http://www.sleepfoundation.org/article/how-sleep-works/how-much-sleep-do-we-really-need"]healthy recommended amount is 7-9 hours[/URL] (and probably more like 11 hours for someone of your age)
not to mention, it's his fucking free time. he can sleep how he wants to without your SLEEP AGENDA
oh and the patronizing tone you seem to bring everywhere (it doesn't make your point any more credible bro)
