Marijuana Kills

[rickn]

it amazes me that we can prescribe medications like Benzodiazepines, which are extremely addictive (within less than 30 days you can become addicted, and withdrawals can be severe), but we can't use MJ for medical purposes. As soon as a pharma company figures out a way to monopolize medical MJ, then it will be the next best thing since sliced bread.

I would guess that most people that use marijuana on a regular basis are aware of all of the negative and positive aspects of choosing to use the drug. Marijuana kills is likely not one aspect that would overcome the euphoria that a person gets by using the drug.
When we can see the threat of death, and it manifests itself somewhere other than in our thought process, for most of us anyway, that is when we are going to really think about our decision to use or not use things that are bad for us. It's just human nature, just the way it is.
There are a lot of things in life that we consume, both legal and illegal, that will bring us to this point in time where we have to make the same decision. If we spend our life sweating all of this little stuff, are we truly living?

Indeed. I was always fond of the saying "Eat healthy, don't drink or smoke, exercise regularly, die anyways."

Standard Stoner, wait arent potheads lazy and unmotivated?
A QP is about 800$ worth of weed!!! I call shens. Maybe a Quarter in three days. That is a quarter of a OZ tho, 16 OZ to a pound, you are full of it.

Yeah I agree...a QP is waaaaayyyyyy too much for three days. I would consider myself a standard stoner, and I only smoke a quarter every two weeks. I usually run out after about a week, but I always like to take at least a few days sober...it makes the days high even better. :thumbsup:
