HAH


There is no harm to the brain what so ever, even for the tokers who toke multiple times a day everyday. Thats commonly accepted information to all sorts of nuero-scientists. Close minded and simple minded people just aren't willing to accept information and drop old incorrect facts.

Theres been recent studies where they are trying to find a relation between THC and killing cancer. Theres a connection between the groupd of tobacco smokers who dont have lung cancer. Many of them smoked marijuana frequently. THC has anti cancerous properties. THC target the blood supply of cancerous cells and kills them.

Its been known to kill brain tumors in rats since the 70s but the study was shut down cuz of Govt nonsense.


Marijuana is one of the least dangerous drugs (if you even want to call it that). If you look at any credible rating of drug hazards, you'll notice marijuana is pretty far down there. Whats on top of the list are ALCOHOL, TOBACCO, amphetamines, meth, coke, crack, heroine, etc. Im sure everyone notices more and more states allowing medical marijuana. The govt realize it dosn't harm anyone, but they just dont want to admit it quite yet after spending so much $$ on this "war on drugs". They would look like idiots.

It was made illegal in the first place because of politics.

The things we do and eat in our common day to day lives affect our physical and mental health negatively WAY more than some of these so called drugs.

^^ Even if combusting it did cause cancer, all the more reason to use a vaporizer.

OMG.... is that pic real? holy shit

sooo, your chance of developing schezophrenia will go from less than 3%, to less than 4%? This is shocking!!

Three heavy drug users and their horrific killings: William Jaggs, a 23-year-old Oxford University student and prolific cannabis user, stabbed fashion designer Lucy Braham 66 times at her home near Harrow, the public school in North-West London.

The paranoid schizophrenic was found covered in blood beside Lucy's body, having plunged the knife into his own chest last September.

The former Harrow pupil, whose father is a teacher at the school, started using drugs when he was 14, moving on from cannabis to cocaine.

Yes, the cannabis was completely to blame. the cocaine had nothing to do with it

Drug-crazed drifter Richard Cazaly is believed to have stabbed pregnant Abigail Witchalls in Surrey, in April 2005.


Cazaly, 23, who killed himself five days after the stabbing, had a history of heavy drug use dating back at least four years.

His girlfriend, Vanessa MacKenzie, told police both she and Cazaly were regular cannabis users, smoking 'a couple of joints a day'.

Surrey police said Cazaly became psychotic and violent as a result of long-term abuse of drugs and the alcohol he had consumed on the day of the random stabbing.

Again, the long term abuse of alcohol and other drugs played no role whatsoever. It was the cannabis, dammit!

Son of a nurse at Broadmoor Thomas Palmer butchered two of his friends during a woodland walk after his mind was warped by smoking skunk - a particularly potent form of cannabis.

Obviously they know exactly what caused him to snap. There were no other factors.

Unfortunately, officials investigating these cases overlooked a serious commonality between all of these attackers. The real cause for their violence was the fact that they have all regularly eaten pasta their entire lives, 2 of them starting their pasta habit as early as one year old! "People need to be made aware of the serious ramifications of eating pasta" said researcher Marissa Jones. "Eating just 3 servings of pasta a week has been shown to increase the rate of schizophrenia by over 53%."

What a bs article. as someone already mentioned, they didn't specify if everyone in the studies did any other drugs that might influence the results.

Yes, at your advanced age, it is safe to say that you will never suffer any consequences ever in your life.

im sure ruff sex hurts you too.

lifes a bitch and then you fly

[kouki_s14]

that's bullshit. Of course if you smoke one joint, you're most likely going to try other drugs as well, so that 40% can be true, but weed alone couldnt be the cause. i can bet that 99% of the weed smokers that went crazy did a bunch of other drugs as well. The writers just forgot to include that little detail.

ps
i've never smoked weed in my life and i still call bullshit

[Wahl 136]

It's true, it's true!! Look what marijuana did to this lady.

She only smoked it once.


Seriously though, I stopped reading after "goverment commissioned report. I don't buy that for a second.

Wasnt she in the exorcist?


I'm sure taking any drug that fucks with the chemistry of your brain will make this or that a little more likely to happen but in this case i think the negative effects are zero-to-none. I really doubt this study will effect the amount of weed smoked one bit.

[ManoNegra]

Total BS - some of the smartest people I've known were/are pot smokers. But honestly, you can 'commission' a study to support whatever agenda you want.

[myzislow]

Son of a nurse at Broadmoor Thomas Palmer butchered two of his friends during a woodland walk after his mind was warped by smoking skunk - a particularly potent form of cannabis.

Then aged 18, he virtually beheaded 16-year-old Steven Bayliss and repeatedly stabbed Nuttawut Nadauld, 14, near their homes in Wokingham, Berkshire in September 2005.

Palmer had started using the drug at 14. He told doctors he had not been smoking on the day of the killings but admitted to using skunk regularly in the weeks before the brutal attack.



hahah...... thats a big stinky load of crap....."skunk cannabis" they should move here to cali and smoke some G.D.P. , but then again that might make them mass murderers.

Gotta love scapegoats, reminds me of the Bevis and Butthead made me burn down my house, I stole care cuz Grand Theft Auto, and so on. It's all garbage at some point people need to stand up and be accountable for there actions instead of being p*ussies who want to do the crime but have no reprocussions for their actions.

[HalveBlue]

Folks, I'm with the government, and I just want to tell you that the information contained in this study is 100% true and accurate.

I'm with the government, trust me. Why would we lie to you?

[kanagawa_kouki]

Say No To Drugs!!!!!! D.a.r.e. To Be Different!!!!


and yeah to the guy up there posting a picture of that lady... that looks more like a "meth-victim." Definately not marijuana.

[nassin31spr]

Government propaganda sucks.

[SexPanda]

Hahaha. My dad was a cop, and he handled the drug dogs. It might just be ironic I light up every now and then.

Of course I dont do that anymore, after watching Reefer Madness. I dont want to turn into a jazz music listening, crazy driving son of a....

Shit. too late. Time to go smoke.

[Farzam]

There's a bat
hanging on my neck

[Ricks15]

So then people who have an Illness like depression and who go out and smoke alot of weed does something happen them? Does smoking cause the depression to become even worse?

[Farzam]

I have depression (runs in the family). Ironically, anger can be a form of depression?

It's like...have a shitty day at work...go to a friend's house...and 10 minutes later it's a good day.

Edit: Yes, some people get paranoid off weed. But most of those people are heroine addicts.

[CKAMC]

VH1 just had a good 3 hour long showing of drugs and america... main highlights where the 50's,60's, and 70's and then lightly talked about before and what is happening now.

They made a great point about the '67 show dragnet... a load of BS.

Drunk driving kills more, 2nd hand smoke leaves more health issues, and you guessed it... war kills as well.

I just love propaganda...

[nassin31spr]

Smoking weed can mess with you just like eating to many donuts. Its gods way of punishing for abusing his gifts. You can smoke weed you just have to learn a little moderation. That pretty much goes for all things in life as well. Eating, drinking, porn, hell what ever your vise. If you take things in moderation then you wont develop a lot of problems. I would like to know if your financial situation in life would affect these statistics. I bet the uber rich don't have half the problems of the down trodden mass'.

[yojimbo206]

along this line of logic, shouldn't a large percentage of the population that were young and smoking in the sixties be murderous, raving lunatics? might just be me but i thought we ALREADY killed all the zombie reefers in the country. oops.

[JRas]

they will say anything to stop people from doing it

[20 til 3]

haha, i love shit like this, i mean seriously, first off that bitch didn't turn out like that from weed, thats meth for sure

and weed is an easy argument to most people... just say this

so your saying god fucked up... that on the 7th day he was sitting around and all the sudded realised... SHIT... i forgot to bring my pot back with me


its a natural plant... it helps more people than it hurts, i've never meet anyone who has done something bad other than steal some little debbie bars when high
