Yeah, just one day being in stickpage and I can conclude that most members here are federal criminals, nice. Weed is bad for you, well it might not screw you up to bad, but it ain't that healthy either.

No need to debate with you dumb asses anymore, I think I'm starting to catch asshole. Though I do respect Chinaman for being the only good Debater around.


Federal criminals?
You gotta be kidding me.

And if weed is so bad for you and it contains that toxic shit and therefore it's banned, I'd say:

[SIZE="4"]BAN CARS FOR THEIR FILTHY GASSES.[/SIZE]

o wait.

Is nitrous legal to purchase in such a form in America?

It's just that when most first try they can't inhale correctly so they don't get high, the myth ain't true yo.

No, they can't.


uhhh, this isn't exactly true, because people not getting high the first time they smoke often has a lot to do with the "awakening" of the thc receptors in their brain.

Coke I would understand... kinda... I still don't believe it though.

But rat poison? Why? So he has a bigger chance of getting caught? So he loses an paying customer to death? Bullshit. Bull. Shit.


It could be, but I've heard that's what people do anyway. You don't know what you're getting in our days unless you grow it yourself.

Everyone reacts differently to drugs, especially when it comes to first time use.
I for one got high the first time I smoked, but I know plenty of people who didn't get high until the 2nd and 3rd time they smoked.

So, it's not a myth, but it's not NOT a myth.

The myth everyone was discussing was whether or not weed is addictive and whether or not it causes brain damage.

One of my friends did a 5 page research paper on this that I got to review for him. Heres what I know on the subject

Marijuana has more toxic substances that tobacco but is less deadly.

Marijuana helps deal with pain (physical or emotional) as an escape in a similar way to alcohol or cigarettes by stimulating the THC receptors in your brain.

Marijuana does NOT make you dumber or kill large amounts brain cells, a shot glass of light beer kills more brain cells than marijuana does. Rather it is the pot smoker lifestyle not the pot smoking itself. I personally know a pot smoker who is a rather intelligent person, he is number 3 in the class.

Marijuana has more uses than smoking to get high, you can make cloth better than you could with conventional methods, you can make paper using less plants/trees than normal because the male Marijuana plant has a high amount of fibers. (not the kind you eat). And it can even be used to create fuel for cars BETTER THAN ETHENAL MADE FROM CORN

Alcohol and Smoking does far more damage than smoking pot does.

HOWEVER that doesn't mean that smoking doesn't do ANY harm. it just means it does less than already legal addictive substances.

I'm for decriminalizing marijuana and I am proud to say that I AM NOT POT SMOKER. The benefits outweigh the potential gains in my opinion...

The main reason that weed was made illegal was because the US government wanted a reason to jail and remove the Mexican migrants, and seeing as the majority of them had marijuana plants, it was made the scapegoat.

Yeah, legal to possess as well. But not with an opening device with it.

Links? I heard that the government isn't to fond with drugs, so they made it illegal.

I wouldn't put a lot of faith in the validity of Steyene's post..
There are lots of reasons marijuana was made illegal..
It doesn't make any sense for the US government wanting to put legal mexican migrants in jail..

Steyene's theory doesn't make sense because a legal migrant would never be deported for marijuana charges.
It'd just send these migrants into jail, where the US government would end up paying for a mexican's 3 square meals a day, when they supposedly wanted mexicans out of the country.
