Should Marijuana be legalised?

[spike91232004]

Goddamnit...Why do all the cool people on this forum smoke weed?

 

*Shakes head in shame*

[Hybrid Soldier]

maybe thats why were so cool

[spike91232004]

Nah, not really...

[LPGirl]

i dont smoke weed, lol i wouldnt touch the stuff, or drugs at all, i bearly even drink like my last drink was about 2 months ago, when my parents gave me a can of their rum and coke, dude ive never even been drunk, id just rather wait till im legal.

[woodyloveslinkin]

sarah it cant kill' date=' and its not addtive.[/quote']

 

 

WRONG!

 

try again.

 

do ur research renai.

[Stenners]

Marjoiuna cant kill u directly, why?

 

Becuase its impossible to OD on it

 

Marijouna takes 4 weeks to pass the system?

Only if u smoke it on a regular bases its usualy alot less for people who dont.

 

Smoking pot turns u into vandels?

Doubt it you would be too lazy to vandalise

 

Have I done my research?

Yes

 

Can weed damage ur body?

Yes

 

But yea anyways nice to see so many people for the funding of terrorism and gun crime because they dont want to see people stoned . And as the figures from Holland show, crime has gone down since legalization, deaths related to it have stayed much the same and use has gone up..... margainly.

 

As I said getting weed as a teen is easier then getting alcahol! If it were legalized it could be like alcahol and controled alot better.

 

As sad as it sounds, legalizing pot would create jobs

 

No im not a regular smoker of it, done it for over one year but only during parties n stuff! ONLY! And thats why it should be legalized for people who want to loosen up and chill out at a party. YES the will always people that abuse it and YES people will always get addicted to it.

 

But I say why spend money on envorcing the law on innocent smokers when u can spend the money to help those already hooked on drugs (including the harder ones) the people that are likely to get hooked to it or abuse it are already doing so and simpley making them go to court and imprisoning them wont help. It's a waste of time and money.... face it. Pot isn't the hard substance many people believe it to be, sure its stronger now but it's still a soft substance!

 

In the UK it got recalssified for the same reasson I stated above from Class B to Class C.

so if someone was to hear voices as a result of smokin weed, tellin them to kill themselves....

 

HOW IS IT NOT RELATED?

 

so if someone was unable to think for themselves cos they doped up to much and fucked their body up resulting in dead..

 

 

HOW IS IT NOT RELATED?

 

If its illegal in the first place they WHY IS IT ILLEGAL FOR??

[Stenners]

It was made illegal as little research was done into the drugy... it has a long history and it was believed it made people mentally disabled in the long run. Recent research as shown as some claims to be fake and some to be true but to what extent.

 

Most scientists now think long term damage is unlikely unless u smoke obsessive amounts of it.

 

As much as you hate to hear this, pot doesnt make u suicidle unless you are already depressed and you have to be very depressed..... as does alcahol. It's not a strictly mood dependant drug your thinking of LSD and Shrooms. Marijouna in it's self only slightly distorts hearing and hallicounations are strictly colours appear sharper.

 

Judgement is distorted in the proccess im not gonna say it dont because its true, it does. But its not as dissorentating as again Alcahol.

 

Marjiouna if legalized would be controlled, purer and WEAKER making it safer overall. Alcahol in pure form is as strong as heroin but has been waterd down from legal restrictions. These same restrictions can be put on marijouna to lower THC levels! Most people who die from smoking pot or hullicinate or kill themselves are from people who have smoked dirty weed. In other words weed laced with pills, cocaine, glue or dirt otherwise known as a Soap Bar. Many unsuspecting people buy this.... why? Cause the are no controlled buiyers. Marijouna like Tobbacco and Alcahol is a natural occerance so we should have the right to grow it.

 

Also Marijouna is a hemp plant, has other uses other then smoking. We are killing the earth from Illegalizing the plant.

Uses for Marijouna:

Paper

Fuel

Food

Fabric

 

It was legal for a long time, was people all stoned out of there minds and doing nothing when it was legal? NO! Most of your guys arguements are stereotypical or related to what the stuff on the street is like.

[woodyloveslinkin]

and if u legalised it and some guy overdosed and killed himself would u feel proud?

 

and if u legalised it and some guy got addicted to it, and died as a result, would u feel proud?

[Stenners]

You cant overdose on weed!!!!!!!!!

How many times do i have to tell u this, u would need to smoke something like 1,000 joints within 10mins to mathmatically overdose. You got a higher chance of over dosing on Chocolate for f's sake.

 

If Marijouna is pure enough the chanches of getting addictied physically are minimal and only a 10% chance of getting addicticted psycogically - Source FRANK.co.uk (national UK drgus helpline and facts site)

 

I wouldnt feel proud, nor upset as its already happening numbnuts and they are getting addicted to it maily cause its laced with all sorts of shit that is addictive. Chances of it being addictiving if legalized (pre wrapped and served without tobbacco) the chances of getting hooked are much lower and it would be easy to remain a social smoker.

[woodyloveslinkin]

WELL ITS NOT THEIR FAULT THAT WEED IS HAS THC IN WHICH IS ADDICTIVE !

 

in high dosages, weed can kill u...u know how it fucks u up? cos im a sister of a victim..WONDER WHY IAM SO AGAINST IT !

[Stenners]

Woody search THC and overdosage

 

The UK drug site tells us its not THAT addictive

 

Like i said she/he probably overdosed on something probably laced with it by the dealer also known as a Soap Bar..... He/She may not of asked for it but thats what dodgey dealers do too save money and get people hooked to get them comming back for more!

Yes THC is addictive to small degree but it isnt THAT addictive, ur currently baseing ur facts off of ur tragic event, yes I understand why ur against it but some of ur views are stereotypical, mythical, biast and avoidable. Im not hooked to the stuff I enjoy it, yes.

 

Are u argueing with the british gov site now when it comes to addiction, thats a bold statement Woody, do ur research.

[woodyloveslinkin]

did u read the facts at the beginning of this?

 

"The Institute of Medicine's 1999 report on medical marijuana examined the question of whether marijuana could diminish patients' immune system - an important question when considering marijuana use by AIDS and cancer patients. The report concluded that, "the short-term immunosuppressive effects are not well established but, if they exist, are not likely great enough to preclude a legitimate medical use."

[Stenners]

Are they from an american drug site? If they are then they have been made biased if u look at the british equivelent or european sites they shed a different light, whilst our campaigns say think american campaigns say STOP. As I always said yes the are negatives too it. But my arguements are researched, backed up and delivard. Unlike half of the people here going by urban myths.

Myth: Marijuana is Harmless

Just as most experts agree that occasional or moderate use of marijuana is innocuous, they also agree that excessive use can be harmful. Research shows that the two major risks of excessive marijuana use are: (1) respiratory disease due to smoking and (2) accidental injuries due to impairment. In addition, marijuana speeds the heartbeat, which can be dangerous for patients with serious heart disease.

 

Recent studies have also shown that marijuana can aggravate symptoms of mental illness in persons with schizophrenic tendencies. At least four studies - in Australia, Sweden, New Zealand and the Netherlands - have found that early, repeated use of cannabis is associated with exacerbation of schizophrenia in young patients so inclined (Source: British Medical Journal "Cannabis and Mental Health." 23 Nov 2002). Marijuana is therefore generally disrecommended for schizophrenics, though it may also occasionally be medically useful for treatment of certain schizophrenic symptoms

[Stenners]

Did anyone pay attention to me saying that if excessive its not good for u?

 

Or that it should have age limit?

 

I dont think so I have awnserd those claims pages back. I think anyone with mental illness shouldnt touch a drug of any sort and its not that harmful to the brain if its developed. Im not running around saying young people should do it.

 

People I dont like: People who look down on people who do it

People I respect: People who dont want to do it but dont ridicuel them from doing it.

[woodyloveslinkin]

did u read my post edit about the medical journal from britain?

[Stenners]

Did u also notice that low or moderate use is innocuous? The type of use I support lol

 

Yes but thats considering people whos brain is still developing im not in support of underage smokin

[Chris]

well if the other people on the other forum, stopped claiming that i posted was biased, they would actually CONSIDER that it does kill.

and plus, they havent posted any proof from their side.

Marijuana DOESNT kill! We dont have proof, because there isnt any! Ever saw a headline in the newspaper like "No one got killed this week because of marijuana"? I dont think so. You say that marijuana kills. Show me proof. Show me an article. A news article this time.

[Sygy]

i smoke weed sometimes.................

[acdcrules04]

sarah you need to chill, and stop post information that came from a biased source, you need to get over the fact that marijuana does NOT kill. accept that you are wrong. pure marijunana is not lethal. if it hurts anyone it's because it was laced, or they smoked a blunt (cigar filled with pot and crack) do you know how much marijuana you would have to smoke to get the point of a mental illness, you would need to smoke it a couple of times a day for like 10 years, trust me, i know people that have done that, some go a little nutty and others don't. and azem conserning your friend that died, he was probably allergic to it, i'm sorry for you loss

[Stenners]

Lol i had to wait so long for the reinforcements

[acdcrules04]

hey, i was one of the first to post! lol... we definitly need reinforcemants

[Chris]

I'll call HQ!

 

 

God that was lame.
