smiles 0 #30 December 16, 2005 QuoteSomeone whose personality might be improved if someone just tied them down & force-fed them a few bonghits just to mellow them out a little? Someone new to the drug or in a strange setting, may suffer acute anxiety and have paranoid thoughts (amazing how any study came up with this!) Personally I feel huge benifit to smoking/eating THC or Hash Oil besides the mellow out affect. THC causes the feelings of euphoria, creativity and a sense of well-being as does skydiving. THC is useful for reducing muscle spasticity - helping Multiple Sclerosis patients, there is evidence that for those with Asthma, smoking THC is beneficial. Good therapy for my eyes. Yearly I maintain appt. with eye specialists that explain they can tell if a person has diabetes by looking in their eyes…re: micro aneurysm. I have had diabetes (type 1) for 40 years and eye specialists cannot believe how perfect my eyes are. No symptoms of micro aneurysm or glaucoma, perfect eye sight. I also have a chronic illness called Crohn's Disease. Abdominal pain along with nausea, vomiting (=lack of appetite=weight loss) which all lead to low blood sugars and difficult control of my Diabetes. Use of THC eases the pain and gives relaxing & soothing effects, lowers stress, gives me a great appetite (the munchies) with no nausea or vomiting or weight loss. I make my own THC butter and use that to spread on bread, add to food or hot drinks. A side effect of Crohn's Disease is rheumatoid arthritis and TCH also relieves pain for this. Inflammation caused my pancreas to stop producing insulin, also caused Chron's Disease and Rheumatoid Arthritis. My body's immune system was overproducing constantly which causes inflammation. Due to 3 years of treatment with a drug called ramicade, which has changed my body chemistry so it no longer overproduces alpha cells causing inflammation, I now do not need to take anti-inflammatory medication the rest of my days. check out Santa Rawks!

efs4ever 3 #32 December 16, 2005 Well, as a criminal defense attorney father of a child who teaches school, I can tell you that WAY too many tax dollars are being spent (at least in Texas) to keep people with socially unacceptable habits locked up. The reason I mention the school teacher child is because that girl's salary is as LOW as it is because of the PRISON and CRIMINAL JUSTICE budget being spent on seeking out and arresting users and keeping people in prison who DON'T NEED TO BE THERE!!!!

daniel_owen_uk 0 #34 December 16, 2005 QuoteI agree! I've never seen anyone pass out from smoking a joint. You haven't seen me roll But seriously, marajuana is much less harmful than alcohol or nicotine (nicotine which if you remember is a physically addictive drug). Gateway drug, yeah I love how they use that term, of course it's a gateway drug you fuckers are labeling it an illegal substance, kids take one illegal, its not a huge step to take another, we don't call nicotine a gateway drug or alcohol a gateway drug.__________________ BOOM Headshot Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kirrz 0 #37 December 16, 2005 I don't know about it mellowing uptight, stress-heads.. I have so many friends who just get ultra-paranoid when they're stoned.. As for it being legalized.. I think people will always be lured towards what is forbidden. In terms of drugs, weed is the safest (in lack of a better word) forbidden drug. If you legalize it, people (the youth at least) will go to the next safest drug.. So you'll have more people on speed or e or whatever it might be - drugs way worse than weed.. so keep it illegal!

No offense, but, that is one of the most unlearned response to WHY mj should remain illegal. Take a look at certian European mj policies and the proof is there that decriminalizing/legalizing mj does not lead to increase drug use. In fact it is the oppisite. Use of all drugs go down. US policy is draconian and based on the ignorance of heavy handed totaltarian types who believe that the answer to everything is to lock people up and throw away the key. Polls show that 70% of Americans favor decrim/legalization of mj. The old pruneheads that are running the show will someday be dead and gone and along with their much awaited death will go their draconian views. The young adults today who have bought into the lie that the Feds have spun to be truth, well, I only hope that they open their eyes and see the truth that is readily available at such organizations like www.norml.org They do not spin lies but rely on sound scientific fact to what mj really is. It is a miracle plant that got a bad rap thanks to the Harry Anslingers of the world. War on marijuana?

kirrz 0 #39 December 16, 2005 I just know as a young adult that one of the reasons a lot of people my age get into drugs is because it's not allowed. And for most (speaking from still living in that zone) weed is enough to make them feel rebellious. I also know that if weed was legal, smoking it wouldn't be as thrilling for most of these people & they would move on to the next drug. So instead of smoking, they would just do speed or whatever.. I am not basing my opinion that it should remain illegal on any research or because I'm looking out for the greater good of mankind, it's completely for selfish personal reasons. It is because I know my group of friends and I would rather we stick at smoking as much as we do than move on to something harder. Perhaps it's immature, or childish that they would think this way but hey, that's how it is. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is because I know my group of friends and I would rather we stick at smoking as much as we do than move on to something harder. If your friends are the type who are akin to using harder and harder drugs then, maybe, you need to reevaluate your choice in friends, no offense. There is hard proof that the people who are going to use drugs will use them regardless of the law. Simply put, legalizing all drugs does not mean that people are going to start using simply because they are legal. The majority of mj user are not hard drug users. Most hard drug users do not smoke mj. With a line of reasoning that people would simply move on to next illegal drug after the one they are presently using becomes legal would be an arguement for legalizing all drugs. In the 30 some years that I have been smoking I know very few who have moved on to hard drug addiction. I have known hundreds of smokers who live pretty much normal lives. Some are lawyers, one of who moved on to be a judge. One of my Dr.'s smoke. I have known police officers who smoke. I know business owners who smoke. It is quite simple that there is a wide spectrum when you examine exactly who smokes. If the argument is, as it is with the "anti-marijuana warroirs", that if you legalize it they will just move on to the next drug then that implies that anyone who smokes mj is a canidate for heroin addiction. Such arguments have never held water and quite the oppisite applies that people who smoke are quire intent with just that, smoking pot. There is no doubt that some who smoke will move on to the next, yet, this does not imply that pot is a gateway drug when the majority of heroin addicts first taste of any drug is usually nicotine and alcohol. Again this does not imply that nicotine and alcohol are, also, gateway drugs. The people who move on to hard drug addiction are mentally wired for addiction. The focus should not be soley on the drugs themselves but on the pyscological make up of the addicted and what fosters addiction in the first place. Locking people up for smoking pot or locking up heroin addicts does not and has never addressed the problem. It is merely sweeping something under a rug. Out of sight, out of mind mentality is far more dangerous than all drugs combined."...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black."
