Yes, I learn alot from my sister. She regretted for tried weed out of curious and thought weed is wonderful than cigarettes... She become hook on weed to neglect cigarettes... She said that she prefer to addict smoking tabacco than weed smoking because she felt that smoking weed could addictive easily.

Quote:

Weed is dangerous? What about cigarettes and alcohol? Both of them are much more dangerous than weed, but they are legal.

Yes weed is dangerous, see above.

Yes cigarettes affect health but they can stop to smoke with their strong will as the same as alcohol as well. Drink wine is part of Europe culture, I was raised to drink wine because I was being taught to drink wine moderately. It´s bad if you abuse alcohol because you think alcohol is the fun which it´s not. It will be okay when you are being teach to respect alcohol.

Yes, cigarettes and alcohol are dangerous and addictive if you do not limit them. Most people can quit smoking and alcohol with strong will but drugs? It´s very very very hard to quit because the drugs are powerful. My sister told me HERSELF that she rather to stick alcohol and cigarettes than smoking weeds. She feel that it´s addictive because smoking weeds make you feel "good" which alcohol and cigarettes does not. That´s why she depend weeds more and more to neglect cigarettes and alcohol.

Quote:

I mean, when was the last time you heard of anybody dying from smoking weed?

I´m not talking about dying from smoking weeds but addictive... it will go to hard drugs from soft drugs. See above what my sister told me.

Quote:

I m sorry about your sister. I really am, but it was HER choice to take the hard drugs.

Thanks! Yes, it´s her choice but it´s her big mistakes to try weeds in first place. She would not touch drugs if she did not try weed in first place.

Quote:

Do not blame that on weed because not all people who smoke weed go on to the hard drugs.

Yes, that´s right - not all people who smoke weed and then lead to hard drugs but it could be addictive BECAUSE smoking weeds make you feel good than cigarettes and alochol. My sister regretted what she did because she should stick with cigarettes and alcohol than tried weeds then addict on it then later...........to hard drugs.

Quote:

Take alcohol. Almost everyone who smoke weed and/or use hard drugs tried alcohol FIRST. If we go with the anti-weed people's logic, alcohol is the REAL "gateway drug".

Quote:

Yet, many people who drink alcohol do not smoke weed or use hard drugs.

Disagree:

My sister drink alcohol unmoderately and chain-smoker until her ex-boyfriend introduced first weeds to her. She tried and like it better than alcohol and cigarettes, that´s so.

Quote:

Depsite what you are told, people have the choice to use hard drugs or not.

No it´s not choice but tried out of curious that´s how it lead her addict on drugs....

Quote:

I have been smoking regularly for a while now, and I have NEVER tried the hard drugs and do not intend to. I MADE the choice to stay away from the hard drugs and stick with weed.

My sister taught me how to smoke when I was 10 years old but I don´t like it. She started to smoke when she was 9 years old and addict on tabacco... and tried alcohol when she was 14 years old.

I tried alcohol when I was 16 years old and drink carefully since I saw my alocholic mom... I know from my mind for not end like her. My sister & her ex boyfriend introduced weeds to my hubby & me in 1990, that´s time my sister´s 3 children was toddlers and baby. We refused to try it and told my sister to be careful that those weeds could be addictive. She laughed at me and said that the weeds is no addictive. 2 years later after that I learned that she addicted on weeds more and more........ tried different drugs to satisfy herself. Her ex-boyfriend limit to smoke weeds but my sister do not limit it. We met in 2000 and told me HERSELF that she is very very regretted for tried weeds in first place. I asked her why when she know weeds is a drug. She said that her boyfriend told her that weeds is not an addictive. She started to smoke weed and make her feel good and stress free.... she REGRETTED it... Now she is dead! She would of stay alive if she didn´t try weed in first place.

Look at where they got their info from-

"Number of American deaths per year that result directly or primarily from the following selected causes nationwide, according to World Almanacs, Life Insurance Actuarial (death) Rates, and the last 20 years of U.S. Surgeon Generals' reports."

Its right below "HOW DANGEROUS IS MARIJUANA COMPARED WITH OTHER SUBSTANCES?".

I wouldnt post the link if I didnt think it was sound.

I agree with that point good point you got there sis SG. Just because something is illegal doesnt mean it is any worse for you than what is legal. Drinking kills and so does Smoking but yet both are legal. So I say let the marijuana smokers have their rights too.

[quote=RainGurl;493796]I am against it too. My ex did pot infront of the kids, he drank while doing pot. He was a very heavy drug/alcohol abuser all the way around.

I think that the problem is called escapism. People need to escape from something in their lives so they turn and use this as a resource of comfort.
I think it's dangerous to your health, proven very dangerous.

No amount of weed or alcohol is every going to make your issues go away.
You need to deal head on with it. Not just escape it and temperarily numb the pain.quote

I agree with ya raingurl... i use pot in past to escape my depression etc.. but i do use it nowdays for my adhd it helps me to go sleep but i dont use it daily,...
im ex meth , crank,cocaine, opium. mushroom, etc user..

Barbaro · 06-09-2007, 04:33 PM

I've heard and discussed it with friends regarding the federal and state law conflicts. In CA, the State law approves it only for patients, but it is against the FEDERAL law. When it comes to debate, they always try to justify one of the examples, Prohibition Era which created the mobs and secret places to sell beers. The society during the Prohibition Era proved that they were not ready to accept it.

Now, I just read the article somewhere and the modern society prefers WINE over beer. The beers are becoming unpopular now. The beer companies are starting to worry and get desperate and try to advertise it to attract younger people to buy beers, not wines.

Our generation is far different from the Prohibition generation. Our generation are seeking for healthy choices to improve our lives stronger and make us happy. There is a difference between feeling good and feeling stronger. I strongly believe in strong itself than better. Strong means confidence. For instance, when you feel down, you take beer, or any drug, or eating too much food to take your pain away or making you feel better, not making you strong. It degrades you more. That is not a part of who you are.

For medical reasons, I think they can be useful as long as patients use it appropriately.

SpaceyUFO · 06-09-2007, 10:14 PM

Firstly, Im not against to marjiuana BUT im against to cocaine, methamphatamine, speed and odd drugs etc...

Secondly, Marjiuana are exists way before Jesus was born.

Thirdly, i can't see why marjiuana is dangerous but I have often heard or seen the smoker ciggy packer with ugly pictures or harm to their health but what about marjiuana???

Fourth, there are roughly about 70% people in this world are using marjiuana so it is everywhere where people can smoke weed but some places are hide. It is impossible to wipe all the marjiuana out of this Earth!

Fifth, Marjiuana have plenty names for such.... Cannabis, MJ, Cookies, Weed, Toke, Joint, Motorbike, Coffees, CD, etc... any names you like to add

For instance, in australia, they throw their tied shoes on the power lines to let them know (for buyer people who wants to buy the marjiuana) where to buy from a tinned house. New Zealand, visit a gang's house to buy it off them. Umm any countries what I dont know cos I haven't been in England, and the rest of Europe, etc...

In case if you want to know where the proof about this world population of cannabis user. Heres the website address to look at:

I used to take Pot. I found it made me really weak and stupid. I took it as a means to escape. I did a lot of things that I still regret. So I am not in favor of Pot.

It did have some benifits that while I took a lot of pot I could use my hearing aids. Normally I had trouble because I couldn't stand the noise.

I don't know if it was addictive though. When I moved here I just decided that I didn't need to take it any more so I gave it up without any problems at all.

Grummer · 08-07-2007, 03:55 AM

I used to smoke alot of pot more than a decade ago, even dabbled in stronger stuffs but never anything white. However, I feel ambivalent towards legalising cannabis

I, myself, agree marijuana could be legalised even though I no longer smoke it. Legalising would mean a lot of incacaration, stigmisation issue revisited and get alot of unncessary corruption relating to administration of food and drug around the world untangled. There is more to what we see, alot more.....often between countries there are trades within trades, like arms dealing we'd never hear about the 'truth' or money and war, if you must get some clue try watching the film "Lord of War" Nicholas Cage stars in this, it is an excellent example of the insidious trade, even the US Defense forces (or any other countries's for that matter) dont want you to know about, because its like, they would be viewed as they CAUSED these problems!! ha, theres a hint you may see? yes making cannabis is illegal proved effective as social-control alone with ALL other sideeffects, criminalisation, deviance, blackmarketing, violence, even cross-illicit trades like arms dealing, you name it

anyway back on track, getting cannabis legalised, would mean far less risk of grower poisoning their own home-grown with toxic fertilisers, also less motivation to grow 'cash crops' would mean slower pace of life thus translate a more peaceful community, and likely less poisoning which is probably responsible for brain damages due to harmful additives used to intend for rapid growth or spiking with enchancements to secure consumers-return for more sales.

A slight different slant of view here, drugs is only a symptom of society's dwindling ability to cope, whatever happened to the good old days when life was simple and people use to sing or write about happy dreams??
"Good times" are overrated and i think the media are to blame for this, and by same token (on other side of the same coin) people should learn to think better!, I mean like not to be so gulliable or so impulsive to yearn for happiness, if we all did this more , and ask old people how to pass times, maybe we'd learn alot of good ideas to make life alot more pleasurable. Marijuana is great but its also to be respected and taken in care just like alcohol! but it seems half the problems is the sellers (drinks>legal or pot?illegal are BOTH irresponsible they both rely on the same tactic as selling 'good times' to halfwits whose doesnt consider enough what to do deserve 'a break for good time'. dont get me wrong i know about stress btu there are other ways to cope too, and yet pot is good but it needs to be rationed for 'proper good times' like on a hiking camp or walk at the deserted beach front in mid-summer or something like that as a genuine 'time out' from society. those of you thinks im 'preaching meditation with herb' maybe i am, but its doesnt sound boring right? its just a more responsible approach to appreciate the real joys of cannabis.

who cares? just about everything we have in this society is toxic,petrol, just about any food from supermarkets, diet coke is more toxic than 'normal' coke, straight coke rots your guys like ciggies rots your lungs, raw materials such as wood or vinyls are treated with toxic 'sealants' so new houses may be 'new' but has new poisons. Media in its broadest sense are so irresponsible to not tell you these sort fo informations. If you insist to try live to 120 years old, expect it to be BORING, in fact it would be painfully isolating, furthermore impossible to avoid any forms of delibinating toxics causing bodies to malfunction.
so what just about everything we do and eat causes cancer
theres a millions of other ways for people to get paranoid, or hallucinate or lose their memory (many of this attributes to diet in this fast-cash society), many psychological disorders stems from societal disorders, cognitive is already stunted by 'education' which trains the masses to be dull consumers, just look around ! , it is applauding to see someone so duped to think marijuana is a blame, it is simply misused and mis understood , in a way i agree there should be less people using it, simply because the 'west' jumped on thinking its for pure hedonism. That was a fundamental mistake. but then in this stressful world, I can hardly blame those just dont know how to 'switch off' while it is not good when the switching off becomes a habit... that's where the line of responsibility has crossed over.

Dark-Half · 08-07-2007, 03:02 PM

I could care less if it gets legalized as long as you can't do it in public, i abhor second hand smoke. How would someone like it if i ripped a ripe one right in their face? It's about as offensive.

abit off topic, but you know something, apparently it was on the news recently about a month ago, that for each print out of a document from a Laser printer emits a toxic fume so invisable but has a distinctive quiff that is just as as deadly as a inhaling a entire cigerette's smoke !!
and they get millions of people working in high-rise buildings as clerks, adminstrators raking in a good earner and yet they get sick........
how irresponsible is that?!

dream-big · 08-17-2007, 02:05 PM

I am against it period, nothing good can come out of it.

People who use it just for recreational use are complete idiots, they tend to be losers who amount to nothing who waste their money and time on getting shit headed while other people (ie. me) can amount thousands of volunteer hours and donating money to more important things in life. I have never touched alcohol or cannabis in my entire life and see people everyday making absolute fools of themselves by using the crap. All my friends know I am anti-alcohol and anti-drugs and they respect me for standing by my values and not giving into societies desires.

God help society because we are getting more screwed up everyday!!

How would someone like it if i ripped a ripe one right in their face? It's about as offensive. __________________ The world is a tragedy to those who feel, but a comedy to those who think.

People who use it just for recreational use are complete idiots, they tend to be losers who amount to nothing who waste their money and time on getting shit headed while other people (ie. me) can amount thousands of volunteer hours and donating money to more important things in life. I have never touched alcohol or cannabis in my entire life and see people everyday making absolute fools of themselves by using the crap. All my friends know I am anti-alcohol and anti-drugs and they respect me for standing by my values and not giving into societies desires. God help society because we are getting more screwed up everyday!!
