Weed: Doesn't make you crazy says new study

Marijuana is a natural plant. It's safer than the caffine in most people's coffee, or the prescription drugs doctors perscribe to patients. It also has medicinal qualities( can decrease nasuea

Tobacco and alcohol are kill more people in one year than marijuana has in the history of society. Its illegal status is due to there is more money to be made in keeping it illegal rather than legalizing and taxing it.

In America if no one got arrested for Marijuana, the prison industry would take a huge profit hit. Out of the 2.4 million Americans in jail today, 60% of them are in jail for drug offenses.

Explain why are cigarettes legal again? I think some confusion is here.

Criminalizing Marijuana is a "racket"...as my father would have said.

Weed is possibly the best widely-available drug for chronic pain. Alcohol, tobacco, and pharmaceuticals are all proven killers. All you have to do is give them a try and it doesn't take a genius to figure out they're all a long road to nowhere. The plant infringes on AND creates the upper-crust's self-given right to make money off those less fortunate.

When my brother whose been smoking weed since 14, stops talking mid conversation because the lady in his head might be listening to make fun of him later, weed can be a problem.
Some people can drink, smoke cigarettes, drink coffee, do coke and smoke weed without getting addicted or sick from it, but there are a whole host of people that get f*cked up from these vices.
It seems its not always the drug that is the problem, more of the person taking it, but it can dangerous non-the-less.

With this news, I imagine more people will continue to smoke weed which will make our prisons continue to grow with population and profit. Especially if they raise the level to a class B.

I was with my best friend the last month of her life. Her husband didn't want her to smoke weed because of theri 16 year old daughter. The day before she died she asked me to get her high when no one else was home. My daughter came runnning over with a full Vaporizer bag. She had two hits. Then I propped her up on hte pillows and she smiled for the first time in a month. She said, "I am hungry!". I called the deli and they ran a tuna salad sanwich over. She devoured a quarter of it ... the first time she had an appitite in a month. She was really ahppy and peaceful for over an hour. I am so glad she had that little window of contentment ... I only wish it could have been like that for all of her last hours. Criminalizing marijuana is criminal.

Ganja is a herb humans should value, it has its medical properties, used in construction, some wear it , spiritual purposes, oil, plastic............................... not to be seen as a drug.....natural healing......fyah on the man who call it a drug.

That's good to know! But it still smells god awful.

"monkey see, monkey do"
i know folks who support their families well financially off mary jane. i know folks who function without a hitch in mundane society. i also know folks who zone out, pass out and creep me out when they smoke.
not everyone can handle herb and respect it. that's the truth. not everyone reacts to it the same way. not everyone looks "hot" in leather. not everyone looks great blonde. to each their own. period.

Alcohol is legal. Cigarettes are legal. Makes a lot of sense. Canada has liberal views on weed. There economy is better than the USA and they aren't going crazy and killing each other. hmmmm

Dont quote me on this, but I have heard from other people that smoke marijuana that the cause of it being band is political (i know thats a very vague introduction to my point but I want to emphasize that i dont know where this story comes from or if its even true). Ok so i was told that back around the time of the Mexican American war it was made illegal cause many Mexicans smoked it and the American government wanted to discourage them from immigrating here. What a big fucking and useless mistake that was.

Dope,dope,dope,dope,dope,dope,dope? oHhh, doooooooooooooope. Yeah, smoke it baby!

i smoke it fairly regularly and have found NO change in my basic character qualities or the likes. on the other hand, i took a hiatus from it for about 3 months and I still didn't feel any different except I didn't have the pleasant feeling that this relaxing herb induces.

Weed should totally be legal. If someone is going to develop a mental illness, they are going to develop it regardless of marijuana. I think that the government should tax it and make money from it. Cigarettes and alcohol are way more insidious and dangerous.

Good, because Current is my cannabis.

Marijuana fixed my broken heart. For that, I will always love it

Maybe President Obama could do something about this? Not that he wouldn't have enough on his plate already, but legalizing this might facilitate the correction of other societal errors.

no man, he has to clean Bush's very dirty plate first...

a lil off topic, but do you know what a great laugh we're all gonna get if we live to see the day of friendly mom & pop stores on the court square selling that stuff? that would just make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside!

Legal scrips can kill you. I've never known anyone who died using Marijuana. If you eat it then the whole danger of smoking is gone. I think people should give pot brownies to adhd cases!!

From what I've seen, weed takes away a person's ambition. I do believe that it's a relatively harmless drug other than the results of what I've seen. Talented and creative friends who regularly smoked were stifled in their ambitions for decades on taking care of their health and obtaining their goals in life. They worked overtime to merely pay for the weed. Some spent $300 to pay for weed and couldn't pay their rent for the month. The ones that left it alone are working out in the gym, writing books, acting in plays whereas before, they were the biggest talkers and didn't do a darned thing other than smoke.
I see real weed heads who are unsuccessful in their ambitions as wasting their time; I don't let them waste mine on pipe dreams (pardon the pun).

Don't get me wrong, I believe that MJ has medicinal value for those dealing with chemotherapy and glaucoma. Also, I do know some pretty successful people that engage in occasional recreation of smoking.

Either way, I do agree, it varies from person-to-person.

it all is in how you use the herb. how you frame it. how you recieve its gifts. some use for reasons that dont line up to what they need.
must respect the weed.
its the greatest healing herb for body, mind and soul on the planet. use it wisely and it will reward accordingly.
anybody in for a safty meeting?

sure, moderation is key.

But where would I be without ganja? My entire concept of reality would be different, and arguably less expansive.

truth is, not having my weed makes me crazy.

I always drive the speed limit when I'm high. And that's one law that EVERYONE breaks.

yeah but one dude i know does weed and he is schizo...
but maybe that's because he also does just about every other drug in the book...

Kentucky is in the top 3 agro sources for herb in the nation - and growers often use federal land - which means park visitors and fed. agents alike are endangered by booby traps - as someone already mentioned , having a designated land use plan for cultivation ( after legalization ) would get rid of this threat - keeping pot illegal is an environmental hazard .

God also said "See, I give you every seed-bearing plant all over the earth and every tree that has seed-bearing fruit on it to be your food,..."

i'm unsure of when some men on earth got the thought that they have a right to stake claim to other persons rights to roam free on this planet but I think those guys had some pretty big guns and were not very kind.

the earth is ours no matter what

some people who have staked their claims in oil & other natural resources hopefully will realize they are holding our precious lives in their hands and if our resources are not used properly in balance with all thats most beneficial for all humanity... well im sure we can all imagine more destructive things but the key is to vibe on the positive and stand strong against the adversity of persons who will continue to try and keep us from reaching our destination which as far as I can see is wide open for interpretation

yeahmOn just some eazy skankin takin it slow so excuse me while I light my...

swap "cr" with "l" and I might have a bone to pick with this study
