Things everyone should know about marijuana

So? milk has mucus in it and you guys still drink it.

I don't give a fuck if smoking pot gives me lung cancer in 60 years. In 60 years itll be legalized and I can just smoke myself stupid.

But it is possible to smoke yourself retarded, and it is possible to get addicted to. Not in the same way as ciggarettes, but more like, addicted to counter-strike.

I know a couple of people who've gotten really stupid since smoking pot, but these people smoked like, 20 grams of the shit a day, itll happen if you do that, but if you just, occasionally enjoy a joint or three, then it's no big deal.

You can get addicted to anything emotionally, like you said though cigarettes are physically addicting, pot isn't.

You can't 'smoke yourself retarted'. Pot doesn't have anything in it to harm the braincells so it would be impossible. Maybe these people u know do other drugs or drink. Or maybe they just act stupid. Or maybe they are high all the time (which might make them act stupid.) or maybe they are just originally stupid.

Whats up every one. I somoke Bomb every day, at least a blunt a day i would say. i feel like i have gotten more lazy but i dont feel retarded. i dont smoke cig's i drink once in a while; all i do is smoke bomb. It has not done a thing but make me feel good.

It's kind of hard to say "Yeah, I saw my friend smoke himself stupid" when technically you can't. People go through changes in life, and your not in their mind so you can't come to the conclusion that weed has anything to do with it. The only thing u can do is smoke it urself and see if you become retarted. and you wont.

Good point martini

the main reason i would want it to be legalized would be to cut out drug trafficing
instead of a cuban drug lord making money off of weed, i would rather the profit go to our government

Granted.

All weed you guys buy right now is giving money to drug lords and terrorists.
seriously.

But i hope the government will use the money wisely :Cough: hack: like that'll happen.
maybe they can spend all the money they get to pay for medicare for everyone.

Medicare for everyong like CANADA! YEAH!
I think Canada has done just about all their laws correctly. Cept Canada needs freedom of speech and right to bear arms.

Yes, because Cuban druglords fly planes into buildings.

But yeah, basically, I have ONE other friend who does nothing but smoke herb, no alcohol, like me. And like me he's fine. Everyone, EVERYONE I know who smokes herb, drinks alcohol(other than above mentioned), and almost everyone I know who drinks alcohol smokes herb. And guess what? Alcohol kills brain cells. Do the math.

What retard thinks a gun isn't loaded and shoots his friend?
What retard passes laws that fuck over our economy?
What retard starts a war over nothing just for the oil?

There's lots of stupid people in the world. I think that's our biggest problem.

First, Bobjones comment, yeah, more problems than just terrorism in this country today...I agree. What kind of drugs? Because don't tag people with being terrorists because they buy some marijuana from someone in california, or associating terrorits to begin with. And if not California, I doubt it all comes from the middle east, and if you can give me something that says it does, I'll shut up about it, but that just looks like red herring to me.

And Syntax, WOW. Like YOU'RE the ideal citizen? Don't mean to sound harsh, but you sound like a pompous bastard right there, complaining about poor citizenship like there's no posibility you could play a part in it. Yeah, poor citizenship... like minor misanthropy towards general mankind because they are all "stupid" compared to me! Great logic.

"Stupid people piss me off." - call me a poor citizen if thats what the ideal citizens think.

Martini's Ideal Citizen

Atheist. Isn't stupid enough to believe an at least 2000 year old fairy tale.
Pacifist. War is pointless (Pacifism does not say war is wrong, it only opposes it to see if anything else can be done, if war is truely the solution, then so be it.)
Scientist. Learn new things about life. (This one goes great with "Atheist". You'd be suprised what you'd learn if you stopped going to church.)
Intelligence. Must have an IQ of at least 120
Wisdom. To know whether you are doing a really stupid thing or a really good thing.

Probably plenty you can add to that list. I'm just to lazy to really think right now... oh yeah

Laziness. Probably from smoking all that cannabis.

Posted: Wed Jun 16, 2004 12:34pm

Atheist? Maybe. Does millitant agnostic count? Otherwise I fit the rest of the criteria, except maybe intelligence. I get my IQ mixed up with my shoe size. Embarassed

But honestly, IQ doesn't really decide your intelligence, but the rate at which you learn, or how fast your knowledge expands. I haven't taken the IQ test actually, but I'd figure it'd be like...52. Rofl.

Posted: Wed Jun 16, 2004 7:12pm

52 is a vegetable.

plus i never said all people are stupidier then me. But there are some stupid people.

Posted: Thu Jun 17, 2004 1:43am

Actually, 52 is considered legally mentally challenged, or retarded.

But anyhoo, yeah, there are stupid people? Well, I'd rather just say there are people, but ok, fine. There are stupid people...and? I mean, they might annoy you, but how is it our biggest problem again?

Posted: Thu Jun 17, 2004 10:18am

Yeah, I probably shouldn't have said that about the IQ. Oh and the Atheist part, well, I just think anyone who thinks a religion should come before ANYTHING else should be shot.

Posted: Fri Jun 18, 2004 1:54am

Yeah like mormons(SP Dunno

), telling me to kill my family because i love them.

Posted: Sun Jun 20, 2004 4:07pm

I'm sorry martini, but you're retarded. You can become physically addicted to pot, just as easy as anything else, I know people who are addicted to it, and they'll admit it, they just don't really care because it's a very safe addiction. Inexpensive, doesn't really damage your body, ect. It should be legalized, but it shouldn't be controlled by the gov. They'd do what the tobacco companies did to tobacco. They add shit to it to make it more addictive, tax it to hell, and sell crappy grades of it instead of the original plant. Why would you want them to do that to pot? it wouldn't solve anything, dealers would still sell because no one would want to buy the shitty government pot.

Think about it.

Posted: Mon Jun 21, 2004 1:08am

You can become physically addicted to marijuana? Huh...news to me. Because last I checked, you can't. And the word retarded is awfully derrogative, just say "stupid" or "dumb" if you could.

But honestly, like coffee, which is considered a mental addiction, you generally get edgy without marijuana, but you don't die without it. Not even die, you don't puke, get sick, bloody noses, anything. You may get a slight headache and may be irritated.

Don't go calling people "retards" because you disagree with them while backing up what you say with practically nothing...thats weaksauce, unless, of course, you want to go in depth with your argument.

Wow, your a fucking moron. I've busted my ass to find facts on this topic and you coming in here thinking you know wtf your talking about makes me laugh. You obviously don't know anything about this so I suggest you shut up before you make yourself look too stupid. It's proven pot is not physically addicting. Nicotine IS physically addicting. Pot and anything else (playing computer games, ect.) is mentally/emotionally addicting. Apparently you don't understand the difference between physical addiction and mental/emotional addiction. I agree with the rest you are saying, tabacco doesn't grow near as easy as 'weed' does (hence the name WEED, lives off the nutrients of other plants). So it would be a lot easier to grow pot out in your backyard, and that is what the government does not want you to do. Btw, tabacco will make you very sick if you eat it strait from the leaf and it is pretty useless as well. People don't smoke for the tabacco, they smoke for the nicotine. Which DOESN'T grow.

Maybe you guys should look into how an addiction forms.

The neron paths, called synapsis, in your brain already have paths for certain things. THC flows along a path that is already there in the brain. Its the same path the hypothalomos uses to realse ceratonin.

Drugs like heroin forces a new path. The human brain doesnt have paths for the chemical.

I may be a little off on these facts, so I suggest someone else look into these aspects, because I dont really have the time to.

Marijuana is NOT physically addicting.

everything u need to know about weed u can find out be renting the very educational movie, half baked.

Posted: Fri Jan 13, 2006 12:30am

I hate to bring up a REALLY OLD TOPIC, but I wasn't around here when this came up.

A person who claims there addicted to marijauna is all mental. That same person is probably "addicted" to family guy dvd's too. The point is they use the word addicted to loosely.

Personally I smoke some fine bud'z quite a bit at that. When I started smoking weed I quit drinking. One because you dont throw up and have a hangover. Two because as a minor or anyone its harder to get caught smoking weed than drinking. I guess what I'm trying to say is I don't smoke cigarettes or drink alcohol and my grades in school are they same as they were before I smoked weed. I also workout and lift at a local gym and never do my lungs kill me after a hard workout.

As for it leading to harder drugs. The person is is "led" to a harder drug by marijuana was bound for the harder drug anyway. They get high for the wrong reasons. I get high to relax kick back and have a good time. They get high because they need it to survive.

As for alcohol and weed. Acohol does make you violent and does make you cocky and want to fight everyone. Weed makes everyone friends ex: I smoked weed with a kid I NEVER liked the other day and it turns out that kid is a cool person I never got to know him before. But if I would have drank with him they other day I would end up calling him out and beating his ass.

Alcohol also Impairs judgement. You can drive fine when your high you just might get a little lost. If I was to drive when I was drunk I would be swerving all over the world with a women in the passenger seat that probably has more diseases than Ron Jeremy.

Overall of all this stuff I read I beleive the one thta made the most sense was the money issue with the government. The government is just as dirty as the kids on the street corners or the drug lords. The take hustlin to a level you have never seen it before. Granted there are good politicians but not many.

I dont think it should be legalized so I can get a phat hook up for cheap because I dont mind paying a dealer all there doing is providing money for there family or self because they werent the 9-5 type. It should be legalized because it is no worse than smoking cigarettes or drinking alcohol. And it is definately a lot safer (than drinking at least).

lol yeah, when i went back home for the holidays i got lost a couple times doing the same thing.

Posted: Fri Jan 13, 2006 6:44pm

I don't know which is more scary...the fact that you drive under the influence or the fact that you seem to be proud of it.

Now someone give me a "Driving while high isn't the same as driving drunk yadda yadda yadda" in 3, 2, 1........

Oh man, I'd love to see you try to justify it. I probably won't respond to this futile topic anymore (I've already voiced my opinion, and I still stand by it).

Trust me, I wasn't proud driving around lost in my own city. But when I look back at it, it's pretty funny. But I had plenty of mental since to operate a vehicle. I was actually more cautious... But yeah to be completely fair it's not smart to drive under any influence... but pot and drinking... 2 totally different things.

Have you even ever smoked pot smut?

Posted: Fri Jan 13, 2006 11:20pm

Since you asked...Yeah, freshman year of college I used to smoke occasionally (maybe twice a week at most). It was fun at first, then a few friends that I smoked with started spiraling into harder drugs. Needless to say, not one of them returned to college the following fall semester for obvious reasons. I quit the occasional smoking right then and there, because I didn't want to end up like them and risk my dream and my education that I value. It's just wasn't worth it to me; there was too much at stake.

I never really paid much attention to the anti-drug movement, but when they say that pot is the "gateway drug", that's the cold hard truth. Unfortunately I had to witness it firsthand with many of my good friends being the victims.

I don't regret the times that I smoked, I just look back at it and realize it was just a part of the college learning experience. Everyone emerges from college as a different person. People who were once potheads usually wise up through the college years, the ones that don't are "weeded out". How many college students are potheads at the time of graduation? As far as I can see at my school, not too many. If you can smoke all 4 years away, graduate with a respectible GPA, and land a good job coming out of college...then I congratulate you. You beat the system. (and you musta been a psychology major)

So yeah, that's my story, I hope you understand now.

Posted: Sat Jan 14, 2006 12:53am

Saying weed is gateway drug is like saying "All people who drink soda pop will end up eating fast food." Do some people who drink soda pop eat fast food? Yeah. Do all people? No.

All people who have had sex once go on to have frequent recreational sex. Do some people? Yeah. All people? No.

I've met PLEANTY of people who've smoked marijuana but refuse to touch any other "drug." Then some who only smoke marijuana but will also rarely do shrooms, and some dxm, but nothing else. And I do know people who have done coke lines.

Is marijuana a gateway drug? Probably, for SOME people. Its unfortunate, but the key to stopping it isn't $1000 fines, and 6 months in jail, the removal of the right to vote and access to student loans. THAT'S bullshit. Marijuana's not anymore evil than caffine and alcohol in some respects. But its a huge cash crop for governmental agencies, especially in law enforcement.

If we changed the propaganda from "DON'T DO DRUGS DON'T DO DRUGS DON'T DO DRUGS DON'T DO DRUGS" to something meaningful, maybe people will know not to go on to worse drugs. Same with sex, if we weren't screaming "ABSTINENCE ABSTINENCE ABSTINENCE ABSTINENCE" but "CONDOM CONDOM CONDOM CONDOM CONDOM" instead, we'd have a LOT less problems.

Sex before you're 18 isn't legal, but we do, to an extend, stress safe sex anyways as we've evolved more liberally towards it, and marijuana's not legal either. So in D.A.R.E. and other propganda organizations, why can't we say "If you're going to smoke marijuana, even though you shouldn't, here are 700 reasons why not to do heroin, 900 reasons why not to do cocaine, and 43843290 reasons not to do meth". Since Marijuana's MUCH easier to obtain than most other drugs anyways.

I mean, why do you think 14 year olds smoke ciggerates? Its a defiant disorder that MOST people face in their adolescent years to show that they can independantly choose what they will or won't do. Is it any different with marijuana? Not really. And will saying "don't do this" over and over stop them? No, out of defiance. So lets at least modify the message to make sure it doesn't turn into a gateway drug.

I mean, we can all sit here like god fearing sheep and scream"OH GOD, GATE WAY DRUG! IT WILL BRING THE RAPTURE", or we can do something substantial about it.

I respect your position on not doing it though, but American always has, and should be about choice. Razz

And you're probably right, better off that you've quit.

Posted: Sat Jan 14, 2006 4:51am

Well it's not a "gateway" drug that most people who use it end up moving onto harder stuff. It's that many people who do worse drugs probably started out with marijuana.
