Everybody does smoke, have smoked or going to smoke weed anyway is best you legalize it so weed smokers won't have to deal with the criminal elements and unsafe places to get product.

Just saying.

Lots and lots of misinformation as usual.

There is no added tar to marijuana... tar is ADDED to cigarette tobacco, which, when burnt, creates the carcinogens that promote growth of cancer cells in the lungs.

Marijuana has never been proven to be chemically addictive, unlike nicotine, alcohol and just about every other over and under counter drug available. (You ever seen somebody suck a d!ck for weed ?)

Honestly guys... learn some truth before you talk. Hemp, the plant, is the most versatile plant used in the past centuries. The reason it's outlawed is purely to protect capitalist pigs and cigarette manufacturers. Lack of accurate info on MJ is because the suppression of correct information is needed to keep the use of the plant down... it's done on purpose.

For years we know other legal drugs and narcotics like alcohol, uppers, downers, etc... can ALL easily kill you via overdose, much less prolonged use... you ever hear of anyone dying from an overdose of weed ?

[sMASH]

why stop at weed? shrooms, cocaine, heroine, ecstasy... what's the point in legalizing some and not all? then when some are legalized they are restricted from certain areas like cigarette, or in quantity like alco.

what they should do is a study on drugs and the effects on the person, medically and personal development. leave out deaths from gang bangers as that is not directly from the drugs but from the trade. if the drug was legal there would be no gang banging.

see what effect each or combination has, and if the benefits mitigate the negatives.

Well pretty much all other stuff listed there need to be processed. The processes normally require outside chemicals and oftentimes produce byproducts like poisonous gas, etc.... MJ grows naturally and can be consumed in various ways with NO added chemicals and no processes per se. The way go intended.... just like growing a watermelon or a mango.

[buzz]

jus now dey go say the pepper added in chow is dangerous hence mango is also therefore, dangerous

[teems1]

There is tar in cigarettes/weed, and the act of inhaling smoke can't be harmless to the body.

I say legalize it, and use vaporizers to get your high.

Far too many people clogging up the courts/jails because of simple marijuana possession.

As for those who say it isn't addictive, i agree, however it is very habit forming, like masturbation...

Plenty weed smokers go on to the harder stuff after a while, I could understand if it were in tablet form but not smoking it doesn't make sense to me. Curing and killing yourself one time?

Yes, please do ! Because the fallacy that MJ is a gateway drug was a lie purported by the US dept of justice in the 50's and was not based on any research.

True... smoking anything is not a healthy decision by any means.... but that is not the item of debate here...

Howevere, I do not believe there is any tar in weed, someone is welcome to prove me wrong...

Marijuana and Driving: A Review of the Scientific Evidence


It is well established that alcohol increases accident risk. Evidence of marijuana’s culpability in on-road driving accidents is much less convincing.

Although cannabis intoxication has been shown to mildly impair psychomotor skills, this impairment does not appear to be severe or long lasting. In driving simulator tests, this impairment is typically manifested by subjects decreasing their driving speed and requiring greater time to respond to emergency situations.....

“In conclusion, marijuana impairs driving behavior. However, this impairment is mitigated in that subjects under marijuana treatment appear to perceive that they are indeed impaired. Where they can compensate, they do, for example by not overtaking, by slowing down and by focusing their attention when they know a response will be required. … Effects on driving behavior are present up to an hour after smoking but do not continue for extended periods.

With respect to comparisons between alcohol and marijuana effects, these substances tend to differ in their effects. In contrast to the compensatory behavior exhibited by subjects under marijuana treatment, subjects who have received alcohol tend to drive in a more risky manner. Both substances impair performance; however, the more cautious behavior of subjects who have received marijuana decreases the impact of the drug on performance, whereas the opposite holds true for alcohol.”

Pot Shrinks Tumors;
Government Knew in '74

By Raymond Cushing, AlterNet

The term medical marijuana took on dramatic new meaning in February, 2000 when researchers in Madrid announced they had destroyed incurable brain tumors in rats by injecting them with THC, the active ingredient in cannabis.

The Madrid study marks only the second time that THC has been administered to tumor-bearing animals; the first was a Virginia investigation 26 years ago. In both studies, the THC shrank or destroyed tumors in a majority of the test subjects...

Yeah Man,...Legalise it! Let dem Kill Them Piggleeks!

"Long-term marijuana use suppresses the production of hormones that help regulate the reproductive system. For men, this causes decreased sperm counts and heavy users tend to experience erectile dysfunction. Even occasional use damages blood vessels making it harder for blood to flow in and out of your penis -Women may experience irregular periods from heavy marijuana use. These problems would most likely result in a decreased ability to conceive but not lead to complete infertility."

You don't know what you are talking about. You are not a smoker and a real ganga man(herbalist) will never go on to harder stuff.

Drink to much alcohol = alcohol poisoning
Pop too much pills = overdose
Smoke too much weed = Hungry like a muthafcuker+ Sleepy.
