Take this all you weed supporting dummies.

If you base your whole life around marijuana, then yes, it's hard to quit. How many people on this board base their whole life around the net? How many could go without for a week and not feel any withdrawl?

I can quit anytime I want

There's a theory that CRT monitors somehow, through frequencies they emit I imagine, stimulate the endorphin gland in human brains. Probably unfounded, but it would explain a lot. So, I reject the pop definition for the word "drugs" because....what is a drug?

 

[badluck]

I think it is funny how you believe every study you read.....Preliminary means just that......


Furthermore, who ever said it is healthy to smoke weed? Btw, have you ever smoked weed, or do you just talk s*it about stuff you've never tried before.

I always find statements like that one funny. I know plenty of people who smoke weed, and I often find myself telling them how worthless it is to do so. It seems like they always respond with something like: "Kid, you've never even tried it so don't tell me that its bad." Trying something doesn't give you some secret knowledge to its long term effects or anything similar. A lot of people I know seem to think so.

So try it once with an open mind. You still don't know...

Cannibis may be as carcinogenic as tobacco, but although I've been around weed for years, I've never known anyone who could smoke twenty fat j's a day by him/herself. It's also not physically addictive, so it doesn't have that hook that keeps pulling you back when you want to quit.

Actually... you CAN get physically hooked on Cannabis, the kind of hooked that you can get on heavier drugs...

"We know that a substantial number of chronic marijuana users become addicted, and previous research with animals has shown that stopping heavy marijuana use suddenly can cause distinct withdrawal symptoms," said Dr. Alan I. Leshner, director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse, National Institutes of Health, which supported this research. "This study shows that marijuana use shares common brain changes and mechanisms with other drugs of abuse."

I think it's funny that everytime someone says anything negative about pot the diehard mj smokers get all bent about it and start defending it like someone's gunna take away their blanky.

Raise your hand if you agree.

The report is also expected to warn that research carried out in the 1960s and 1970s may underestimate the impact of today's cannabis since it is much more potent than the cannabis smoked then.

A total LIE. Absolutely NOT true. Completely disproven. They are comparing the old studies done with "leaf" vs. "bud" (which is still of a factor of 1 to10 or 15).


The rest of the article is filled with words like "preliminary", "may be", "might be" as to be pure government/journalistic propaganda.

Funny thing about this.. I remember first hearing about weed as I was growing up in school, and they said the same thing back then: "today's cannabis is much more potent than it used to be.." That was back in the early '80s. You'd think that if the potency was truly increasing at this rate, the stuff would be far too powerful to smoke in the first place.

Secondly, the BBC report talks about smoking the stuff. Well, DUHH.. You're inhaling smoke from a burning substance. I don't care what that substance is, that's never good. Simply consuming cannabis in oral form (baked into brownies, for example) completely negates that article.

 

[Nefrodite]

same people that thought smoking cigars wasn't that bad no filter = EVIL!! like um duh eh?

eat a brownie.

i don't use weed, but i think hipocricy is bad if u wanna ban weed cuz its bad, ban alcohol. its REALLY bad.


here are some stats for u

According to data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), in 2000 America experienced the largest percentage increase in alcohol-related traffic deaths on record.

In 2000, 16,653 people were killed in crashes involving alcohol, representing 40 percent of the 41,821 people killed in all traffic crashes (versus 38.3% alcohol-related fatalities in 1999).


In 1999, there were nearly 2 alcohol-related traffic deaths per hour, 43 per day and 303 per week. That is the equivalent of 2 jetliners crashing week after week. (NHTSA, NCSA, 1999

An estimated total of 2,163,200 crashes in the United States involved alcohol, which killed 16,653 and injured an estimated 512,510 people. (Miller et al, PIRE, 2002)

Of the children 0-14 years old who were killed in alcohol-related crashes during 2000, almost half (223) were passengers in a vehicle with drivers who had been drinking. (NHTSA, 2000)

In 2000, 20 percent of the children under 15 years old who were killed in motor vehicle crashes were killed in alcohol-related crashes. (NHTSA, 2000)

Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for children from 4 to 14 years of age. (NHTSA, 2000)

It's not physically addictive.

Unfortunately wrong. Its rare to be physically addicted but I have personal experience with a friend who went into physical withdrawal after being admitted into inpatient rehab.

 

[PistachioByAzul]

Are you done getting your jollies off trying to feel superior to people. Addiction is a joke, spoken by those who've never used it in their life.
