Stanz . . . both Alchohol and Marajuana can cause permanent brain damage . . . that is most definately an accumulative effect. Most stoner kids you know in highschool are ok . . . untill their late 20's. I've watched several people loose so much mental capacity it's frightening. You can claim all you like that it's not dangerous . . . but it is. Not so much so that smoking a pound of it will kill you, but an addiction over time will make you wish you were dead. (If you could remember why it sucked to be stupid by then)

Like I said in my last post. I used to smoke marijuana all the time. In my younger years. I havent done it in about a year or two. I was never addicted. I enjoyed the time I spent smoking pot. I would like to think I have far too strong of will power to let myself get a physical addiction.

I personally think that drugs such as marijuana and hallucinogenic mushrooms are on this planet to facilitate our evolution. Not the most popular idea out there...:smile: And don't yell at me and claim "medical science" has no proof of that. I am well aware. :p

But let me ask this. What if the marijuana is strictly consumed. I never actually did it that way. But I don't know of any harmful effects that may have. *points question at pharmicist Cuc*

hallucinogenic mushrooms? I take it you mean magic mushrooms, ive tried them before their ****ing weird... Ive never had green piss before o_O (not physically)

but anyway in response to evil_trunks I have also been doing it in my 'younger years' and being as im still 17 I dont know what youd call it when my brother actualy gave me my first spliff lol.
Ive seen films and stuff where theyve had to hide their weed from the cops of something and they eat it as quickly as possible and then the kids just running about like a ****ing lunatic lol. I havnt tried it before and I think it would waste it too quick so I wouldnt anyway.

cucumba, I dont think I ever said weed is not dangerous atall (correct me if im wrong my memory sucks) but that noone has died off it which I do not believe they have (only if they commited suicide from the effects).
I have never seen someone get completly ****ed up by weed over too much of it but usualy they have been taking other drugs aswell whether you think they have or not.

Ive never known of weed causing permenent brain damage either.. or alcahol for that matter =/

ET: Marajuana has no nutritional value other than being full of fiber . . . it would make you . . . go faster . . . you know. Besides that, THC (which I'm fairly sure is the active ingredient in pot) is a toxin . . . it alters the way your body functions. When you eat Payote (sp?? The same family of plants . . . ), you vomit. That vomiting is caused by THC . . .

Stanz: You are 17, you don't have younger years . . . I'm talking about people in their 30's and 40's who have used it since highschool, not College age kids that took it since 10th grade :rolleyes: As far as not knowing which drugs their using, stop passing the buck . . . marajuana messes people up, period. I have seen it, not once, but several times.

Any toxin that enters the blood (especially those that mess with the brain, like THC), can cause damage to the brain. Alcohol actually puts your brain cells to sleep, and then kills them if the flow of alcohol continues. Your brain cells cannot regenerate or devide, they simply die. You start off with trillions, then just like a prom chip, they blast cells away to make circuits. These circuits help memory and learning capability. You kill them slow, so you don't notice, but it accumulates over time. Would you do something to your motherboard that fried out logic circuits? If you did, would you expect it to work right?

A basic understanding of exactly how fragile your brain is goes a long way to making you understand that any drug that enters the blood can cause you harm.

Trust me, I know full well what pot can do to a fetus in development . . . knowing this, I know that the human body is disrupted by THC.

but thats completly taken out of context. Becareful not to take things out of context because the other guy will get mad and most of the time it starts flame warz and ends up with the thread closed. Sorta like a chain reaction, you know. BUT!!! it was pretty funny :laff:

NEWays why did the US ban marijuana in the first place?

Cuc: Well, thanks for answering my question. I would still assume that eating marijuana, such as baking it in brownies, would still be better for you than inhalation of smoke.

And although I most likely will never smoke marijuana again, I see no reason why it shouldnt be legalized.

And I had a good laugh at that memory quote too. ^_^

America has a zero tollerance policy towards drugs, they only had Tobacco legal because of the rich tobbaco lobbyist, and alcohol caused too much crime when it was illegal.

Sometimes illegal substances are used more for the thrill and rush of things, people want to be the "bad guys" so they take advantage to rebel against government or whatever. I may be wrong but, I think cigarettes should be illegal. Marijuana should'nt.

Thank you very much SaiyanPrideXIX but I have short term memory and it has nothing to do with weed so just shut your ****ing mouth and dont assume things you know nothing about, thank you.

Cuc: Well, thanks for answering my question. I would still assume that eating marijuana, such as baking it in brownies, would still be better for you than inhalation of smoke.
Oh yea, hash cakes. lots of people make them its a quick way of getting you proper stoned very quickly, lol.

Those sortof people are people that just want to fit in because they want friends and stuff, I dislike people that try to follow other peoples so called 'coolness'
as for the last part: I would rather have hippys and people who enjoy life and stuff in our society and maybe the few occasional people that dont handle it right, then people dieing of lung cancer or dieing alot earlier anyway.

our school would have just laughed there ass's off.

some people just cant handle their weed and end up doing stupid things like that. It's like sometimes when your realy stoned and you stop having a laugh and you start getting paranoid and you start feeling things that go on in your head and stuff.

Hmmm, what about using a humidifier. I know a guy at work who bought a weed smoking humidifier. When I was little, I needed a humidifier for my aasthma, so I'm assuming it's just like inhaling steam that gets you high, that would be one of the less harmful ways of using it as well.

Ya pot = less memory, but if you stop it'll fully regenerate after a long or short time

oh dont start me on this i did 6 weeks reasearch and wrote a 8 page essay on the issue, legalise it:

It doesnt cause brain damage, THC is a sythesized natural chemical that already exsists in your brain, any damage to the brain is caused by carbon monoxide, and thats only if you smoke it, so legalising it would make it easier to take in other ways. THC is a chemical which will emphasise any existing mental problems it CANNOT cause them. The memory loss is only when under the influence, because the chemicals that cause this problem get converted into cannaboids which are then stored into the bodies fat cells, which cannot in anyway influence you.

About second hand smoke, HA!!! only something like 8% of the THC gets absorbed into the smokers lungs , because burning cannabis destroys the THC, and when the smoke travels through the air it is still getting deystoyed, hence it is more or less impossible to get stonned off second hand smoke...

Now for the issue of cannabis v ciggaretts, it is true that cannabis has 4 times as much tar as tobacco, but that doesnt mean it is worse, the chemical in tobbaco that is supposed to be the cause of cancer(it is still unclear what it is) is NOT pressant in cannabis, plus cannabis is a broncial dilator which opens up the lungs making it easier to breathe so the lungs are much better ventalated, tobacco does the exact opposite. Put it this way, there has been no documented death of Cannabis use alone EVER.

The US banned Cannabis because of the mexican smoking it and there was a lot of propaganda about it making the mexicans wild murdering rapists, this combined with the DEA's leader having a thing against black blues/jazz players that smoked cannabis and made it illegal so he could "lock them all up".

Addiction its simply false, there is no chemical in cannabis that can get you addicted to, however people with an obsessive personality can become psycolgically addicted to it, and this has been proven many times by different health organisations around the world.

fetus development, now, if you look at statistics of countries where cannabis is legal, 80% of born bables are born healthier than babies in countries where cannabis is illegal.

As for leading to harder drugs it is more or less even, it depends on the person and the crowd than plain yes or no, but legalising it makes it harder to get connections to people who sell harder drugs, and plus it would decrease the amount of funding the hard drug dealers get.

Did you know that 1 acre of cannabis can produce more paper than 10 acres of trees? Plus Cannabis takes less nutrients from the soil and grows a lot quicker, at least legalise it for industial use. Scientist have now found a way to make a new type of plastic from cannabis, which wont effect the enviroment to make, there are litterally thousands of uses for hemp in the industrial world, did you know the first dennim cloths where made from hemp?

now ask ne questions, i'll do my best to answer them, :)

sorry but this is an issue i feel strongly about....

If you need drugs to get high then why are you even living? I get high off life. I even hesitate when I take cold medicine, cuz I dont like chemicals doing weird things to my body. Drugs are for those who can't enjoy life on their own. An opinion yes, but with reasonable clause.
