whatever happened to that 13+ rule

Holy shit tidus. From what you are saying, you only know the negatives.

THC is a lung dialotor(sp?), it opens up all of the Alveoli making them more reseptive to oxygen. So if you don't smoke it, it can be beneficial.

Then there are cancer patients who have to eat litterally 24 hours a day, and the only way that they can sustain their hunger cravings and want to keep eating is to have the munchies.

Quote from Tidus

It's not legal because it's very well known that weed makes you dumb. For people under 18, whose brains aren't quite finished with developing, it can have permanent damage on the brains. And even if you're over 18, your short-term-memory(?) gets damaged. It's a little weird alcohol is legal in there though. But hey, that's just how ****ed up America is.

Tell the many NBA players, doctors, lawyers, etc. that smoke pot these facts and wait for them to laugh in your face.

So I guess you're calling Bob Marley dumb, huh? You just crossed a line.

Man, the government did a really good job propagandizing you little kids.

I could give you much more reputable sources than just those two but I'm coming down from a high and I'm sleepy and don't feel like doing that.

No study has ever shown or demonstrated cellular damage, stupidity, mental impairment or insanity brought on specifically by marijuana use, even heavy and prolonged marijuana use.

Also, if things were only made illegal because they damage your body in some way, then prescription drugs, air fresheners, dryer sheets and fabric softeners, alcohol, etc. would be illegal too. There's a lot more to the criminalization of things than just "it harms your body."
Even then, the government should not be deciding for you whether or not to do mind-altering substances. It's your body, you do what you want with it. The government shouldn't nose into your own, personal, decisions.

By the way, just throwing this out there
Cannabis is the best, natural expectorant to clear the human lungs of smog, dust and phlegm that may or may not be associated with tobacco use.
Many joggers and marathon runners feel that cannabis use clears up their lungs, which allows better endurance.
Cannabis is also used by many people with asthma as a treatment.

Don't doctors also prescribe medicinal marijuana to MS patients?

adhd alzheimers arthritis asthma chemo diabetes depression epilepsy glaucoma

the list goes on and on on what mmj can help you out with man

Good question, Gavel. Yes, yes they do. Cannabis is also indicated for preventing nausea and vomiting, stimulating hunger for chemotherapy and AIDS patients, and for the treatment of glaucoma due to it's lowering of intraocular pressure, as well as a non-addictive and natural analgesic or painkiller.

This is just the jiff of what it treats:
ADD & ADHD | Alzheimers | Appetite Stimulant | Arthritis | Asthma | Atherosclerosis | Chemotherapy
Diabetes | Depression | Epilepsy | Fibromyalgia | Glaucoma | Heart Disease | Hepatitis | Herpes | HIV & AIDS
Multiple Sclerosis | Neuropathic pain | Osteoporosis | Parkinson’s Disease | Post Traumatic Stress Disorder

If you smoke marijuana it will kill you. To be honest with you there are many things worse that can happen to you if you partake in this recreational adventure. Marijuana is a horrible drug and I can not be persuaded to believe any different. I have seen the commercials on the television,
and to be honest, I would take the word of the television over any marijuana smoking hippie.

There are a few things that those who smoke the marijuana cigarette should be aware of, aside from the obvious fact that it can kill you. By smoking marijuana you will waste your life away. This will happen, there are NO exceptions. If you are currently in high school or college you will drop out. This is because marijuana makes you lazy. Look at the hippies of the 1960's. Those were some lazy people if I have ever seen any. All of those individuals were smoking the marijuana.

Marijuana may very well likely cause you to hit a girl riding a bicycle as you leave the drive thru at your favorite fast food restaurant. Believe it or not, this is actually true. I saw this on television. It is highly doubtful that the television would air a commercial that would mislead viewers in regard to this. This point needs to be stressed. The odds are very likely that you will hit a young girl on her bicycle if you smoke marijuana.

There are those who claim the marijuana is not really a drug. This is absolutely not true. It is as much of a drug as any other. Marijuana is a gateway drug and could very well lead to drugs such as cocaine and heroine. If you smoke marijuana you could very well become a heroine addict. I heard this from a reliable source.

Marijuana is illegal. The government would not illegalize anything unless it is for our own good. Many of those who are in prison for marijuana related charges will spend more time in prison than convicted rapists. There is a reason for this. Marijuana is very dangerous, to us and those around us.

The marijuana smoker is not the only victim of this deadly drug. Many marijuana addicts steal money from their grandmother's purse. They do this in order to feed their habit. How do you think the addict will feel once their grandmother passes? What if that money they took from her purse was money that grandma was planning to use to purchase her medicine? That marijuana addict may have killed his own grandmother.

Marijuana addicts often forget to pick up their little brothers from school. This may not sound serious, but it is. This teaches the child that being irresponsible is alright. Ultimately it teaches the child that marijuana is alright. This will lead to the downfall of that child. This child will never make anything out of his life because his or her older brother smoked the marijuana.

Marijuana does not only hurt you, but those around you. The drug ruins life, and is on the same level as cocaine and heroine. In conclusion I urge you to put down that marijuana cigarette, and to get those who are addicted to the drug off of the green leaf. Jesus would not smoke marijuana, neither should you.

And on top of that, it makes movies funnier, food taste better and music sound better.

And I think there's other uses for it other than the effects you get when you smoke it.

Correction: It makes everything better.

And yeah, there are other uses. You can make food with it. One of the softest and most durable fibers, hemp, come from cannabis. You can make textiles, fuel, oil, paper, housing, and much more with hemp.
