THC Eliminates Morphine/Herion Dependancies In Rats - Polidicks

[QUOTE=mysteryman;15915469] It has been proven that weed is [B]safer[/B] then tobacco and cigarettes.[/QUOTE] not really but whatever if you cared about your health at all you wouldn't do either of them

[QUOTE=thisispain;15915481]not really but whatever if you cared about your health at all you wouldn't do either of them[/QUOTE] well of course! its impossible to smoke anything without an adverse health effect. notice how i said "safer" though.

[QUOTE=mysteryman;15915504]well of course! its impossible to smoke anything without an adverse health effect. notice how i said "safer" though.[/QUOTE] Why would we NEED it legalized? If you honestly NEED weed for pleasure, there's something fucking wrong with you.

What lankist said is entirely true. It's actually better for you potheads that Marijuana remains [B]illegal[/B], as that way, they won't fund research that will find something potentially harmful from weed and have it banned again. Because trust me, they will find something. There's no such thing as a potent drug that doesn't have negative side effects in certain amounts. Rule of "too good to be true" applies here. [QUOTE=mysteryman;15915469]I have something to say: If you do not support the legalization of marijuana. Give me a REPUTABLE Source of a study saying that marijuana poses extreme health threat. [/QUOTE] I'm going to use a caffeine as a quasi-analogy here, to be honest, it's a crap analogy, but it proves a point. Caffeine was shown in a reputable study to enhance fat loss and raise metabolism, so naturally caffeine starts to get popular again in the fitness community. Later, yet another reputable study shows that while caffeine may support fat loss, it also however, decreases insulin sensitivity over long periods (If you don't understand, it pretty much means: people potentially store bodyfat more easily, and have a higher risk of getting diabetes). Until the government legalizes weed, you won't see an unbiased, well-funded, reputable study on whether weed is "safe" or not. Hell, LSD has more reputable studies and according to them, LSD is "safe" for short term useage, but you won't find me slipping a tab every weekend. BTW, next time you use the "show me proof" argument, just remember, you're the one fighting for the drug, the burden of proof is on YOU.

I didn't say pot should remain illegal, I said this is a terrible reason to make it legal for. [editline]02:06AM[/editline] That aside, valid point.

I can also say from first hand experience. Weed really does not screw you up. But i guess this varies from person to person. I grew up well, i live in a nice neighborhood and nothing ever horrible happened to me for me to revert to drug use. I smoke weed quite avidly actually, not a lot though. Maybe 1-2 a month, most just like once a month. Fast forward a year later, i was accepted into the national honor society with a gpa of 3.6. My brother, who did it for years, graduated with first honors this year. But if you grew up in a horrible location and fell back to drugs, well your results may not be so peachy. You may be struggling in school and start smoking and start failing, but this is not solely the drugs fault. You yourself never applied yourself to school and never cared, weed enhanced that feeling. essentially: weed enhances feeling, if you are feeling depressed, you may kill yourself or dig deeper into the drug world with cocaine, crystal, and heroin. For me, and a lot of other i know, it hasn't changed a thing. Seeing as i live in philadelphia and goto school in the city, i see this shit all the time.

If you honestly NEED weed for pleasure, there's something fucking wrong with you.[/QUOTE] Weed could provide a hell of a lot of things. Hemp for once, which is derived from the cannabis plant can be eaten, woven into frabric and clothes, purses and bags. The us goverment could tax it too, bringing in money. crime could go down. To get a good idea of this. Think back to prohibition. alcohol was blamed for everything bad, so the us outlawed it. When the us outlawed it, people suddenly gained interested and would do anything for a drink. This is where the mob got a great idea of importing whiskey beer and spirits to America and selling them for big bucks. alcohol smuggling became a serious money making business, of course other will want in on it. Fights broke out for turf, bars and speakeasy burned down. The US saw they made a mistake and legalized it again. When it became legalized, mobsters could no longer sell it for top dollar, seeing as their customers could now buy it cheaply at a store with no consequence law wise. Mob lost interest and with their interest went the beer wars and burning bars. also if you NEED video games for pleasure, theres something wrong with you if you NEED your favorite food for pleasure, there's something wrong with you "Oh but MM videos games and food pose no threat to our health!" over eating and unhealthy foods pose a serious risk to your health, unless you like adore vegetables. video games, like i assume you know, have been known to actually become addicting to some players. Like that kid who died of dehydration because he didn't want to stop playing WOW now I'm going to bed cause i'm FUCKING TIRED.

Legalization, everything is smooth sailing, then studies pop up about adverse effects, they become incredibly known. becomes illegal, some people still do it, but don't fight for legalization. Like LSD and cocaine. 2. better safe then sorry.: better safe then sorry D: also i gave you proof; 3 sources! also their is a key word in here "unbiased" most people believe what they want to believe and refuse to be open minded.

If I were to stop smoking weed for too long, it will would very likely that I'll cause harm to others, because I'm a violent person.

If I were to stop smoking weed for too long, I would very likely buy more, because I'm a chill person.

That's why we fucking HAVE a Bill of Rights. Not so we can build a fucking political machine, it's so we can be who we want to be, not what our government wants us to be! Jesus fuck, it's talk like that which convinced people that the German Socialist Worker's Party was in the best interests of the people. Sure, that party took Germany and turned it into an economic superpower. Then again, THEY WERE FUCKING NAZIS Just about every totalitarian regime in modern history has come to power by convincing the "Greater Good" was in the best interest of everyone. It isn't.
