Marijuana Should Be Legalized

is it toasted ...... cuz i know i am

Usually means that the police don't have to waste their time hunting it down. You can get fined if you do ***like walk around selling it to kids etc, or have extreme amounts that are obviously not for your consumption alone.

(1) Why shouldn't it be o,o love is love? if it's with more then one person or with someone of the same sex it doesn't effect me so I don't mine.

(2) O.o All he seems to be commenting on is that they're conservative about things and that they shouldn't be. I don't think anyone's trying to Blame the far right for everything by any means.

Would be funny if the legalized it, but companies still held on to their policies that their employees couldn't use it.

would be great if they did that with tobacco i think they already frown at drinking at work tho .... mostly

Thank you :D

If it were legalized companies would probably do that. I know I for one (in generally) don't like the population who smoke. It breeds laziness and stupidity, etc. Or people like my roommate who dump weed in my toilet =.=; or smoke it and I smell it and die from my eyes watering. I don't mind if people smoke it, I just don't want you anywhere near me. :x

This thread went to pot on page two.

nice pun

No just no. And be happy it isn't punished that badly here. Decent portions of asain and middle east I think it's a capital offense.

most
huge opium problem in most of that region and tobacco is also huge out there

RAWR!!! here is my life: I wake up every morning at 7am and go jogging for an hour before classes. After classes, I do my homework. I then go to work. I hike every chance I get, I bike, swim I am incredibly active.

Here is the kicker: I wake up at 6:45am and pack a bowl to smoke before I go jogging. I jog high as a kite every day. I finish off the bowl before class. I smoke another entire one before work. Since I have begun smoking, I have lost 40 pounds the right way (from exercise not lack of food). My GPA has gone up by 1.5. I dont work with anybody I started with because they were all fired for low production. I am the only person at my job without any wory about being fired for not having high enough production rate.

Explain to me how pot is killing my life? I never jogged, hiked or did anything besides watch tv and play video games before I began smoking. I started jogging because I was high one day and went "I should stop being fat!!!" I got up, put on shorts and went jogging.

tl;dr: Since I began smoking I have: started jogging and am up to an hour a day 5 days a week, raised my gpa by 1.5 and am at no risk of being fired for being lazy, in fact I am one of the top employees.

you were fat and wore shorts! /shudder but good for you

It's killing your lungs. Without lungs, you won't have a life. But that's long term. Short term, seems like it helped you get your life on track, so good for you. Too bad it took drugs to make you realise your life was off track though.

Myth: Marijuana is More Damaging to the Lungs Than Tobacco. Marijuana smokers are at a high risk of developing lung cancer, bronchitis, and emphysema.

Fact: Moderate smoking of marijuana appears to pose minimal danger to the lungs. Like tobacco smoke, marijuana smoke contains a number of irritants and carcinogens. But marijuana users typically smoke much less often than tobacco smokers, and over time, inhale much less smoke. As a result, the risk of serious lung damage should be lower in marijuana smokers. There have been no reports of lung cancer related solely to marijuana, and in a large study presented to the American Thoracic Society in 2006, even heavy users of smoked marijuana were found not to have any increased risk of lung cancer. Unlike heavy tobacco smokers, heavy marijuana smokers exhibit no obstruction of the lung's small airway. That indicates that people will not develop emphysema from smoking marijuana.

copy paste ftw.

It's hard for me to believe that to be true when it's typical when smoking that stuff to be gagging and coughing.

That and there are just pages listing the negative side effects. Don't worry they'll kick in and everyone who you kept telling pot does nothing bad will laugh at you.

Fact: Smoke kills lungs. It doesn't need to have drugs in it to cause serious, permanent damage to the bronchi.

The fact there's tar and god knows what in the smoke just speeds the decay and congestion of the bronchi up.

But this line:



That is just utter ***, lol. Did you copy and paste this out of your *** or what?

In addition to Aaroca's point, here's a viewable version of the Lancet article that was linked earlier as well as another post referencing it. Site required log-on to view. D;

Either way people will do what people do.
Every thing in life has a backfire.
So pick wisely.

It was from the Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse.

Notice it says lung CANCER, not lung disease. Find me where someone has contracted lung cancer from marijuana, and I will say 'gee you're so right!"

I didn't say lung cancer.



As for it being ***, lung cancer isn't just caused by inhaling a specific type of substance. <.<

In the end you are gunna have a hard time proving any cancer came from just 1 source and which source that was. It does however contain many carcinogens and really most of the bad stuff in ciggarettes is in all the extras. Also just inhaling smoke of any kind carcinogens or not is damaging to your lungs and your throat

I'm pretty sure thats what this means.

You said Aaroca's point was "utter ***" and their point was in reference to lung cancer. See how that works?

Exactly. Smoke kills and decays the lungs by congesting it and blocking vital airflow. Without this airflow around the lungs, the bronchi start to decay and eventually die. These decaying cells will eventually form a tuma, and voila, you have a lung tuma. Whether it becomes cancerous or not depends on a couple of other things, yes, but acting like smoking marijuana won't *** your lungs up is just so naive.

Why else are you told to crawl along the ground in the event of a fire? Smoke is a fast killer in high doses, and a slow but certain killer in smaller doses. Does not have to be tobacco or marijuana smoke to kill you. The drugs therein just increase the speed and chances of it happening.

I can quote back plenty of studies that show negative effects on health if you'd like.

HOly crap, I said lung cancer not such ailments like bronchitis, wheezing, and general difficulty in breathing.
What is this?

Yeah, I see how it works. His point is ***, but I thought he was replying to my point about smoke killing the lungs, so my bad. I do note that that point was completely ignored by both of you, though. Selectively replying it seems.

Although that aside, it is ***. Lung cancer isn't caused by inhaling a specific substance; just the form of cancer associated with tobacco is. You'll still have a rapid decay of lung tissue from inhaling smoke regularly, whether it comes from an exhaust pipe, a joint or from your house burning down. This is scientifically proven; it's just the specific form of cancer that can be argued; but then, that's not the point. We're just arguing semantics. At the end of the day, it's going to kill you. I hope having died from a marijuana tuma is comforting on your death bed, knowing you didn't die from a tobacca caused tuma.

LOl I love google. Somehow it knew that that I wanted to look up canablism and not cannabis.
