Point taken

Abusing leads to high tolerance.

Using the right amount leads to super buzzy stoney high.

Well, now that I've read about meth in the parenting room, I must honestly say if my kids were to mess around w/ any drug, and that includes alcohol, I would want that drug to be pot for many reasons but namely one could smoke it for a very long time and suddenly stop w/out feeling any physical withdrawal from stopping.

Really? Because something is illegal, that's why it's "wrong"?

That is a statement with the least amount of critical thinking possible.

And it is in fact legal in a number of states for patients who qualify. So how does that help your "argument"?

And my mother works two jobs because she LOVES her work and loves to be busy all the time. She was out of work for a time and is now very happy. So I see you also go ahead and make assumptions to go with your lack of critical analysis of a subject.

Whatever your personal feeling is about marijuana, that's fine, I'd never in a zillion years try to convince someone to do something they don't want to. But if you want to insist that pot is bad, mm'kay, just because it's illegal, then it is your responsibility to find out why it's illegal in the first place and whether you think those reasons are justified.

Fun fact: William Randolph Hearst, the famous newspaper magnate, was afraid of the possibility of hemp coming in and replacing his hold on the paper industry. He started printing stories about the terrible danger of "marijuana," a word he coined hoping it would scare people because it sounded Mexican and evil. At this point cannabis was still legal, and not only that had been used for hundreds if not thousands of years for medical purposes.

Fun fact #2: The federal government has a medical marijuana project in place, which is officially over but the surviving members of the project still receive an allotment of marijuana -- GROWN BY THE GOVERNMENT -- every month. Nevertheless, the government schedules cannabis among THE most dangerous along with things like heroin and LSD, whereas cocaine is considered less dangerous?

Did you know that?

No?

Then time to do some reading before you judge. Everything I've said here can be verified, although it's entirely possible I got a detail or two wrong.

It makes some people hungry and eat then some of ended up gain more weight which effect health problem down the road. Also it brings dysfunction in many families. And also I have witness many who smoke pots led to hard drugs. it goes same with drinking.

I'd be interested in seeing a citation of the study where you got this information about the effects of marijuana on obesity and related health problems. Oh, you only know one or two people this happened to? Never mind.

Ironically, I was watching Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare on DVD and there was a part where this kid fell asleep after smoking pot and saw a PSA commercial on television with Johnny Depp. "Hello." *holds up an egg* "This is your brain." *cracks the egg in a pan* "This is your brain on drugs."

Actually that commercial was made during the crack epidemic that the country was currently experiencing.

This isn't what I have seen in my world back then. Most of them, who I knew and witnessed, sticked to marijuana only (including me) while very few others went into other drugs and drinking.

Although it may have happened in your world who you knew of, it could happen in some cultures somewhere but certainly not happened for the majority out there.

And I second with Interpretrator's #post, too.

Agreed. There have been many studies that have supported the fact that the deviant behavior precedes the use of hard drugs, not vice versa. In reality, there is no such thing as a "gateway drug". There is, however, "gateway behaviors".

If one is under the effect of pot, how low does the IQ go?

I don't know what you're saying, drugs are bad. Herbs aren't.

Lowers reaction times and inhibition, but not IQ.

Are you saying you did not believe smoking pot make u hungry? I have seen enough people to cause some gain weight from over eat while they were high. I do not need to prove this point to you or anyone else.

Just wanted to say that I think you'd be a GREAT candidate for an Orwellian world.

I am overweight due to pituitary gland tumor, not overeating. I gained 40 lbs in one month and stuck with it since then. And I never smoked weed. My friends and members of my family gained weight they smoke alot of weeds so dont compare me with them. Unless you smoke weed once awhile and they smoked weeds everyday 24/7, heavy.

I doubt there's a link between weed and obesity or else, every pothead I know would look like me.

Nope, in fact I had much more friends and outgoing when I used it back then than I do now. So it goes the opposite!
