There are a number of medical uses. However, when groups try to petition legalizing it, they can't remember where they put the forms.

haha ok because i wanted to try it just to see if what they say is true u know" goin on your trip, LOLing" all that

I don't smoke it but i support it

Oh goodness..another one of these threads...and its late...damn.
Well I'll say this and then put full input into it tommorow.
It has limitless medicinal purposes.
Is just a plant, I dont mind those that smoke it.
And I would like to try it myself.
Weed is weed.
And may even possibly be the fabled tree of life..
And before you call me crazy..wait until tommorow when I give full input. Goodnight.

Well... Usually these threads get quite out of hand with arguing.

But like I said on other threads, I don't mind it, nor do I mind if someone used it, but I do not plan on using it or selling it, or advertising it.

Actually, we lost the other threads about weed due to the archiving scripts...

Can we give this one our all, post lots of good content and scientific facts with sources, and well thought out opinions, so that when this shit crops up again we have it to refer back to? Prcedent threads are loved and appreciated.

>>9 they all ended up being permasaged because of stupidity...

so curious on trying it >< but dont want to at the same time

I use to do it, don't anymore because I hated the person it made me into.

Honestly I could care less if they legalize it, although I wish they would just so I could stop having to deal with weed supporters stupid ass annoying bitching.

It can and will change you if you let it. I would call weed my "Guilty Pleasure" It really didn't change anything in my life. I still manage good grades and stay out of trouble.

And despite what everyone else thinks about peer pressure....I couldn't care less what other people think, let alone what they want me to do.

Oh, and I might add, I only do weed on certain occasions that occur at most once a month... But seriously,
Drugs are bad. Mmmkay.

Simply put, weed is gods gift to the world. It just makes you feel tops. Anti-pot activists can run smear campaign after smear campaign but it doesn't change the fact that it's not dangerous like alcohol can be. Lots of people just get lethargic on it. Some people laugh their asses off at everything on it. I have never known ANYONE or heard of anyone becoming violent on it, or doing destructive shit because of it. It just mellows you out and there is nothing wrong with it whatsoever. Honestly, I've smoked pot since I was in middle school. Had to quit for a few years when I went off to the army, but still toke occasionally. It's a harmless high. You don't trip out, you don't hallucinate shit, you just get a really nice feeling in your head, and things get a little more surreal. But otherwise you still function normally. It's a great way to end the day, and on the weekends it's a great way to start the day, too. After years of smoking pot, I went to the army, became a ranger, and was wildly successful in a job that requires top physical condition and situational awareness. I use the fact that I'm still alive as a qualifier for the term "wildly successful." In that type of job, well it's as easy as figuring out how to "not die." If pot really fucks your decision making abilities up that badly, I doubt I'd be around today.

>>14 well grats on still being alive, and medically there is absolutely no long term mental impairment if taken after the age of 14, or a very insignificant one, if you were genetically prone to mental issues.

There is in fact a new-ish show on the Discovery Channel covering this very well entitled "Weed Wars" if you guys want. (they gave one side of the country Sarah Palin's Alaska, and the rest this, they really are playing it safe!)

For those that plan on saying that smoking weed may cause lung cancer, that's the paper, not the plant, and there are many other ways of ingesting it besides smoking it.

for me I never did anything bad, my grades remained the same and everything, it just started to make me extremely paranoid and I hated that feeling, and I noticed it only happened when I did smoke, so I stopped.

Lol, I only get paranoid when I'm driving and I have a bag with me. I usually end up going a little under the speed limit, and paying mad attention to what's going on around me. Trying not to get pulled over, haha.

I smoke it, and I used to sell it, but selling wasn't a good idea, cause that just leads to other things. I don't recommend selling it at all, but occasional use is alright. I smoke too much. But when I do, I'm productive. If you're a lazy high, I don't think you should smoke too often. Because then you're just fucked. But, smoking pot is all up to you. If you want to, go for it, if you don't, it's doesn't change my mind. Also, don't get caught at school or by cops with ANY type of drugs on you. I got hit with a crapton of probation for being arrested with weed on me.

I've seen plenty of people spiral downhill because of drugs. Nonetheless, I like my braincells, and I have no intention of doing it. I wouldn't hang out with anyone who did it, either. (That's a threat I use to keep my friends off of it lol) It can be used medically, of course, but I don't think idiotic teenagers should be smoking it just to get high.

To be honest, though, I think if drugs were made legal, there would be less underground shitfuckers selling diluted/poisoned shit and the idiots wouldn't be sharing their needles as much with these drugs. It's like prostitution. This type of activity should be monitored by the government and taken proper care of because you're never going to stop people from doing it :/ Might was well give them a safe place/way to do it.

But, whatever. I'm against drugs. Deal with it.

>>19 weed doesn't kill brain cells. It changes how neurotransmitters fire in your mind, to release dopamine and other feel good chemicals.
>>9 I agree. I dont want to have to go spidey again. lol

>>20

Also to top that off, everything harms brain cells in the end. Thinking, breathing, drinking anything. Any action taken causes some sort of strain on your brain cells. It's not like it's only drugs that cause shit to happen to your brain, like many people think.

Weed is the world's safest herb. But one thing I did which I'll never do again, is Pot Brownies. I discovered that if you do that, it causes a different high than normal. The fact you normally lose a buzz when you eat, but at the same time, you're getting high, causes a different feeling, and it got me sick as a dog.

>>21 Lol I have always wanted to try those.
And You are right.
But weed really is the worlds safest herb, and has countless medicinal purposes.
It has been around for a long time.
All those man made drugs? Cocaine? Heroine? THOSE are the ones you need to stay away from.
Weed is a fucking plant, and like beer, its manufactured into a product.

One difference between beer and weed though, is that there are BARELY any WeedDriving Deaths as compared to DrunkDriving Deaths.

>>2
:( :( :( :( :(
I may have to give up my secret hopes of making you my bride! WE CAN NEVER WORK AFTER THIS BECAUSE YOU THINK I FAIL AT LIFE!!! XD lol

The weed is for smoking.
Every day, after work! It hasn't tripped me up at all over the last 7 years. Just use it responsibly. If you don't have money, don't buy it. If you have to get a job and/or take a drug test, don't use it. If you need to focus, don't smoke [too much of] it. Moderation, yo!

WEED IS WHATCHU NEED lol nawwww, weed is fun to play around about do not to do very often, just on 4-20. bro

This WAS permasaged... WASN'T IT? I'm okay with it being open again, but... wtf... Am I crazy?

>>25 yes....

Bump. Weed is bad that's why we burn it. :3

"weed is bad mmmkay"

Unless you're joking, provide us with your bountiful knowledge and undying wisdom, about why it is bad, "MMMKAY"?

Because it actually helps your lungs, we found out. It is a mild pain reliever, helps people get over Insomnia, regulates their eating habits, calms people down, and so on.

Now explain to me, how it's bad.

>>29 It's from South Park.

>>1 I do believe you need a more unbiased place to research the inquiry, like Highdeas.com or something.

As I said "Unless that's a joke"

I know all too well about South Park.

in my opinion weed isn't a drug. its grown and nothing is added to it. its organic. and it makes you feel amazing.

>>34
That's why a lot of people call it s Herb and not a drug. Those who know NOTHING about it, call it a drug.

>>35 Calling it a drug doesn't mean you know nothing about it.

Drug
Noun: A substance that has a physiological effect when ingested or otherwise introduced into the body, in particular.

They are right in a sense, so don't assume they 'know nothing about it'.
Weed is definitely a drug. Why would anyone ever say otherwise? That's like saying "Corn isn't a vegetable, it's a grain." Technically speaking, it's both, so don't assume one over the other. It's both a drug and a herb.

The more you know. ☆彡

>>35
there's a nice lighter at spencers i would like to get. it says, "i don't do drugs." and something else. but its talking about weed though.

>>35 >>37
That's just splitting hairs, now. As Bread says, anything taken with the intent to alter natural bodily function is a drug. Marijuana is a drug, Penicillin is a drug, fucking vitamins are a drug. And as a non-conventional substance that is illegal in many places, yes, marijuana is considered that kind of drug too.

But yeah, it's probably the least dangerous of all "harmful substances" out there, if it can be considered dangerous at all. From what I'm told, and from what I see in this thread, it can't. Hell, bacon is probably more unhealthy for you.

But I don't think I would be into smoking it, even if I had the choice, for the same reason I don't go downing relatively painkillers for the hell of it, or alcohol. Usually I don't handle things like that well.

*relatively harmless

Coming from someone who knows a hell of alot about the subject, marijuana is a non-harmful drug and has no long-term affect to the brain. The chemical in weed that gets you high, THC, is a chemical already in your system it's what makes you happy all weed does is increase those THC levels and makes you into a more peaceful, happy, and elevated state that is known as "high". The only true problem with weed is that it is illegal. Smoking causes 448,000 deaths a year of Americans alone, this is more than the amount of drunk-driving accidents, murders, over dosages, and all many other death counts combined, yet it's still legal. Alcohol causes violence, abuse, and many other horrible side affects, yet it's legal. Weed causes 0 harmful side-affects, yet it's illegal. If it isn't obvious to you yet, weed is good and it doesn't ruin your life. So with that quick tip of information, I'm off to school to keep making my straight A-s and see my great friends, and have a great non-ruined life.

>>38 when i read "downing relatively painkillers" i thought it was saying drowning dead babies o.o

http://norml.org/library/item/gliomascancer
all i have time to post now

Has anyone here seen Super high me? It's a documentary about a guy who smoked weed and was high for a full month straight to find out exactly the negative effects of smoking insane amounts. It turns out that there were insignificant amount of change anywhere besides lung capacity, which resulted in a very small but noticable difference, a difference he could have avoided by using a vaporizer.

>>21 >>22 Brownies are my favorite, it's a really hazy high though, but it's still fun, I was able to watch three movies before I came down.

Bump.

Im not getting into this shit again. Pass.

i have friends that smoke weed everyday. and to me and a lot of my friends weed is NOT a drug. its a plant that GOD put on the earth to make something good.

>>46 I said this shit last thread and ended up fighting a fucking troll army. Where the fuck are all of yours? lol

Why are these people always anonymous...
You could at least have a cool alias like Mary Jane....

>>46 No reason to bring religious deities into the mix thank you very much. Not everyone has the same faith.

I can understand medical reasons for it but if your abusing it I'll most likely not associate with you. I'm against " drugs" and abuse users due to reasons, so the ideals of weed is just not my cup of tea sometimes. I can understand people who say " oh there are no health risk" but frankly if a person cannot control their selves then it gets in the way of their life and becomes an unnecessary necessity. So yes their are risk from this "drug". There is a risk for this small herb that people don't normal take account for.

>>50

The drug isn't to blame for people who use it and do fucking stupid shit. It doesn't cause an addiction. People cause addictions. Because anyone can be addicted to anything as long as they have that unhealthy attraction towards it.

The only thing people need to take into account, is the fact that they are stupid if they make it control anything. It's their own fault. Not weed's.

>>51 i agree with this statement to an extent. sure, it may inhibit decision making skills, but blaming weed for things that people do is such a cop-out answer.

It's like blaming Metal (or music in general) for making people commit suicide. It's just plain dumb.

weed is pretty cool. especially when you smoke it. so yeah

>>51 you make a great point. but in my opinion i dont agree with people who use the drug, but hey if that's your thing whateves. not gonna' judge ya'.

i'm sorry BUT WEED IS NOT A DRUG. its a herb. DUH.

and the only religion that doesn't believe in god, they believe in the devil. and to be honest if your against jews, your against Jesus, who is a jew. and if your against your god, your a nazis. and i'll be open about my religion if i want to be.

anyways you can't get addicted to weed, its a herb. unless your really retarded. of course you can't fix stupid.

>>55 i will also be open about my religion. athiest.

>>55 You can easily get addicted to weed, in the same way people get addicted to tobacco, trans fats, alcohol, sexual pheromones, caffeine, adrenaline, and countless other substances. The difference is that all THOSE things either have too large a market or are downright uncontrollable.

Now, I don't have an issue with weed in almost any sense, but don't spout off that bullshit that nothing could ever go wrong by doing it. Almost EVERYTHING has a risk, and weed isn't any different than any other substance on this planet.

>>56 High five! :D
And yes. That was necessary.

>>58 -highfive- i guess??

Yay! ^-^

never tried it but want to one day. just to see what it's like. i also think to each his own. if someone likes it they like it, if someone doesn't thats their opinion.

That you are probably using it right now

I accidentally ate a weed cake without even knowing it and I couldn't remember what happened after that. I was at home but then I woke up across the road from my family graveyard 14 miles from where I live? I had like a major headache and to top things off, It was the middle of winter and it was fricken SNOWING!! >~,<

Then it was not just weed in that cake.

I ate a pot brownie and got sick. Well 3 or 4. Did not once pass out or FORGET shit.

I also smoked 7 big ass joints, and took this thing called 'Hemp Oil' which is the THC extracted out, and placed into a pill.

Got super high and didn't pass out or forget shit.

You did not eat a cake with pot in it, and do that. If anything, it was POT and something worse in it.

>>64
This.

I will also be dominating this thread later tonight and answering any questions because I am a canabomancer.

>>64 I think you're right but I don't know what else was in that cake? It was the first time I had eaten a pot cake and I had no Idea that it was? I just thought it was ordinary chocolate cake?

Lighting up right now. I'll be here (and burning) all night.

im not gonna lie. i wanna try it.

>>69 Of course you do.

bump. also i used to smoke pot, but i quit

Gives me a headache so i dont smoke

>>72
That happens to me sometimes too when I smoke too much. It is called a weed hangover. Some people are really sensitive to that symptom, but it is not common. Also, certain types and strains of weed can cause it while others don't. Lower grade stuff can give headaches, but high grade can cure headaches.

>>63 wow, i just learned something new today. Thanks.

For the time being I just look at smoking weed as a stress reliever to calm me down from certain things but I know it does not erase your problems it helps for the time being.

Oops ment to say >>73

This is true. It is ALWAYS true.

Why do these threads keep popping up?

I'm high right now.

>>79

If I recall, this is the original one, and people like Weed?

I could be wrong. I just looked, and I feel the other one had more posts. Not sure.

>>82 No. there were at least 2 before this. and then on the old server there were at least 3-4 of these threads. I had to derail one of them...and that is how I got infamous on the dollars.
lol

Back on topic.

Its a plant.
Oh, btw they have found a way to destroy brain cancer cells with it.

>>83 that is so awesome. Weed is awesome. It either makes you feel good or you get a headache. It all depends on the person. I personally like it, it makes me feel good and I get hungry.

>>84 Weed isn't necessarily awesome. I think too much of it at a young age is detrimental, and too much period is bad for your neurotransmitters.

I read that smoking weed before getting drunk saves brain cells

I personally don't agree with the smoking of marijuana. Granted, I have nothing against people who do, I just don't see the point. I don't see how smoking(and that means any kind of smokable product) can benefit anyone in the long run.

>>85 just your neurotransmitters?

>>88 pretty much, that's what really causes the most damage.

I will start off by saying I adore weed, vote for initiatives to legalize it, and raise money for those campaigns. So I'm pretty enamored with it.

And as a psychology major I can't say I've ever run across evidence that Marijuana is bad for brain chemistry. First off all something can't be bad for your neurotransmitters themselves. Their basic chemical impulses and interference to the detection of these impulses in the dendrites of the neurons. There isn't any compelling evidence of damage to brain cells, so neither the neurotransmitters themselves nor the neurons seem convincingly linked to any adverse effects regardless of the amount of marijuana one uses.

Moreover the two primary neurotransmitters thought to be associated with marijuana are serotonin and dopamine. Serotonin is important to moods and can lead to depression if their isn't enough of it, as well as extreme happiness if their is too much. Marijuana only blocks the detection in the synapse between neurons, so it doesn't affect the serotonin molecules in concentration, all it does is fill their positions in the dendritea on the receiving neuron. All unused neurotransmitters simply return to the small sacs in which they are stored at the terminal nodes (the ends of) the neron they came from. Hence there is no adverse effect on serotonin.

As for dopamine, research has shown that even when the concentration of dopamine in the brain is altered (though as with serotonin marijuana does not alter the concentration, it simply impairs the processing temporarily), the brain regulates the output of this chemical independent of influence by drugs. So even if the THC caused adverse effects, they would be strictly temporary, lasting only until the brain rebalanced its chemical concentrations.

For these reasons I don't find this argument for harm to the neurotransmitters compelling, but take it for what you will.

"Last dance with Mary Jane one more time to kill the pain. I feel summer creeping in and I'm tired of this town again."
-- Tom Petty

Cool topic by the way, I've actually wondered how members feel about this from time to time myself.

>>56 Salutations my fellow atheist! Haha.

I used to smoke in Highschool... But I never really enjoyed it all that much... It made me really anxious all the time, and I'd always end up smoking so much that whenever my heart beat, my eyes would shake...which was terrifying, lol... but that's mainly because I'm a hypochondriac. I'll just stick to alcohol and the occasional hallucinogens. Nothin' like smoking 200x salvia right before going into a 45 minute Philosophy lecture.

But yeah, there's nothing wrong with weed, people are just stupid. Why the hell is there another thread about this? The first 2 got saged for a reason, >>83 was there for the second one. This is one of those subjects that people can't go in and be open minded about, seriously the last 2 threads were filled with more close mindedness than I expected there to be in the religion thread.

ohlol oldthread... my bad... I never look at the original post's date... I guess this thread has been okay so far... but whatever.

>>88 yes. This i s what causes the so called "addiction". Weed fills in the spots in your brain where natural feel good hormones (endorphins and such) should go. When smoked too much. The original neurotransmitters stop transmitting the natural feel goods and the weed stayys in the receptors. It caaan cause perhaps and emotional dependency...but addiction in my opinion is a strong word.

Also,in a young developing mind,it inhibits growth and memory retention..and can hinder neuron connections.

Weed is a no different really from beer. Just how it affects people.
How many cases have we had of people being killed in accidents where the person was high?(especially comparred to drunk driving cases)
