You'd be surprised at how many of us there really are. If people weren't such pussies and let the government push them around so easily, the plant would have been legalized a long time ago for every conceivable purpose under the sun. For doubters like you, go here, and I'd like to quote a paragraph from there too:

Prior to the 1800s, CANNABIS/HEMPSEED oil was the NUMBER ONE source for lighting oil throughout the world. Until 1937-38, even paints and varnishes were 80% CANNABIS/HEMPSEED oil. CANNABIS/HEMP/MARIJUANA is non-toxic and has been used to make high-grade diesel fuel, oil, aircraft and precision oil and even the NUMBER ONE vegetable oil. The U.S. Army/Navy standards purchasing specifications list HEMP OIL as the NUMBER ONE preferred lubricant for their machinery. CANNABIS/HEMP is the best sustainable source of plant pulp for biomass fuel to make charcoal, gas, methanol, gasoline and electricity in a natural way."

Oil; Jihadists and blood. Biomass fuel; stoned hippies and munchies. No contest, really. Here, I openly and publicly vote for the legalization of weed. Live and let live, I say.

By "go here," you should go here.

Alright, I understand that hemp is used for materials and that's fine I guess, but it's still not right to smoke it.

Why isn't it right to smoke it? Is it right to smoke tobacco? Is it right to consume alcohol? Is it right to destroy the ozone with our industrial byproducts and burned oil and/or gasoline? The only reason why marijuana isn't right is because the Law makes it so. Now that's being changed. The state of Alaska lets everyone grow a plant for personal use. The state of California has already legalized it for medicinal purposes, and other sites are getting in line. Even Mexico is wising up to some degree.

I've known doctors, lawyers, psychologists, and teachers who smoke and support weed. Cops, politicans and video store clerks. We're everywhere and we could be anybody. It's only a matter of time...

Remind me to stay off of whichever freeway you're driving on after you've smoked the weed and impaired your reflexes to the point of endangering the rest of us on the road. Remind me never to seek medical advice from you in an emergency as you stand there forgetting what to do because you've been smoking weed all your life.

Who said I drive under the influence? Besides, the number of alcohol-related accidents far outweigh the number of pot-related accidents. Chew on that for awhile, prick.

Are you mentaly retarted? Hemp is not weed get you facts straight DUMASS it is alright to smoke weed but you cant smoke hemp your out of luck there

Weed is the flowering heads of the female indian hemp plant. So it is hemp - just a specific part. So, you can smoke the tops and use the rest to make rope, paper or whatever. Isn't your Declaration Of Independence written on hemp paper? Wood paper wouldn't have survived this long

You know.. I didn't know that.  I kept buying the hemp twine at walmart, and smoking it, and not understanding why it just wasn't working. 

learn to spell pothead!

Aww how cute, look at you calling someone a ''DUMASS"
First, it's spelled Dumb Ass, ( also, two words, not one )
Secondly, use of correct punctuation wouldn't hurt.
In addition, I have to agree with the topic starter, people who smoke weed are idiots.
Ever met one of those old burned out 70's hippies who still have their crack pot theories?
Give it a decade, you'll all be the same =]
Here's an idea, get a degree in a profession rather than worry about how high you can get
on a Saturday night, ''Man. "

at least we have some kick ass stories, your probably a boring fuck and all your stories probably end ....and then i got home hahaha 

First of all, have you ever tried it for yourself? Mellow out, man, smoke a joint. I promise you that if you smoke it on your own without any kind of peer pressure you'll be a changed person and the first thought you'll have is: the government was lying to me . . . this is awesome. Seriously, everything is better when you smoke weed, sex, music, food, movies, conversations, your creativity goes through the roof.

There are other ways to consume the Cannibas plant to utilize the THC and CBD chemical compounds without the use of lighting up. You could make it into an oil, you can eat it, and there is a technique called "vaporizing" which creates water vapors which resemble smoke.

People can use this for various side effects of chemo therapy, anxiety, headaches, nausea, and many others. It is a natural muscle relaxant, audial stimulant, and regulator for the brain.

Sure, it can get you "high". Sure, it may cause others to act a bit stupid...

But in that case, shouldn't we make alcohol illegal too? What about cigarettes?

i think you should smoke some marijuana, then you wouldnt be so angry that you had to write a hateful paragraph like this and post it on the web

 

ps:

take a goddamn valium and get a life

Ugh, hemp is low quality weed as far as THC content. So in other words if you think you're going to go buy a hemp shirt and smoke the damn thing to get high, good luck.

Oh, that's all fine and dandy. I wear hemp, but I don't smoke polyester 9_9 Jesus Christ, you made absolutely no point towards actually smoking marijuana. Oh well, what else can you expect from a stoner?

Smoking weed isnt for everyone but they have already proved it that weed is less harming than drinking alcohol. It is against the law though and thats the only thing that alcohol has over weed but as long as you can keep your shit on the down low and dont smoke to much it's fine with me

OOOH! You're a strange, ambiguous little soul. No offence meant. I see you posting quite often. 

 

You are clearly an authority on most things so please could I ask you for some advice? Do you recommend smoking weed before, during or after rotating?

Awww you are gonna cry about people who smoke weed...isn't that just cute. We out number you..so shut up.

You out number us? Is that something to be proud of? Chinese out number us by a rather large proportion (have you ever looked it up), but that doesn't seem like it makes us listen to them does it? Good grief, you idiots need to seriously put your shit into perspective sometimes.

Truth is more important than numbers, and the truth is if we start cultivating marijuana as a bona fide agricultural resource we would resolve many many issues. What do you have to say to that, I wonder?

That you're an idiot for thinking that there is ever a one-shot, miracle cure to any problem as complicated as the one you are talking about.

ADMIT U SMOKE!!!!!GO ADMIT AND CRY TO YUR MOMMA THAT U ADMIT U SMOKE AND U DID NOT OUTNUMBER US!!!NEVER!!!!!!SO Y DONT U FUCK IT UP U BITCH/BASTARD!!!!!

You Stupid son of a bitch it is an opinion everyone has one so you should respect what people say god created weed he liked it too it says he saw it was good you dont fucking belive me look it up it is in one of my previous comments you fucking smat ass your not so smart i am a stoner and i know what the fuck i am talking about me and my mom think weed should be llegalized Fuck all the haters god loves stoners so i dont care what anyone says weed is good STONERS ARE RIGHT!
Heather N. Toker Child

There is no God. You deserve a brutal homicide for multiple reasons. 1)You're a stoner. They all deserve to die. 2)You believe in a higher being which makes you too mentally retarded to deserve life. and finally 3) Not only are you dumb enough to believe in God. But you believe he likes stoners? Wow. You are worthless. The only people who like stoners, are other stoners, because they are just as pathetic as you.

I second that. Isn't it funny how those arguing that it doesn't make you dumb spell as well as a 10-year-old?

That is interesting because, like many people of many interests, there are people who are inept in the English language and those that are not.

If you think that there are those who aren't at all sophisticated when it comes to scientific facts of the Cannabis plant, then maybe you should rethink your generalizations.

Sincerely,

A sophisticated reader

Hey fuck you, you prick, what 's wrong with you that makes you give a shit what other people do?
Blow it out your ass, hothead.

you should smoke some wee mate maybe you wont hate life as much...or maybe the source of the anger is from your abused childhood did dady put his finger in your bootyhole?

Legalize, Don't Penalize

Marijuana is a completely natural resource.  It is just a mixture of dried, shredded flowers and leaves that comes from the hemp plant and yet it is against the law to grow and use it in this country.  There are many uses for Cannabis other than for the relaxation or pain relief associated with the recreational use of marijuana. There is virtually no health risks associated with smoking marijuana.  Taxing the sale of marijuana could provide needed money for the government during this financial crisis. Also, imprisonment of marijuana users and sellers is costing the government a fortune, and is overflowing the prisons instead of having room for violent criminals in there.   For these reasons, marijuana should be decriminalized.

After the Mexican Revolution in 1910, Mexican immigrants poured into the United States, which introduced Americans to the recreational use of marijuana. As the drug started to become connected with immigrants, the apprehension and intolerance for the Spanish-speaking foreigners came along with it. Anti-drug campaigns warned against the horrible "Marijuana Menace," and the awful crimes that were accredited to marijuana and the immigrants who used it.

Hemp is the name of the plant marijuana comes from.  It is a very fast growing, stable plant that can be used to create textiles, paper, construction materials, car parts, food and body care products.  A 1938 article from Popular Mechanics said that there are more than 250,000 ways to use hemp.  Benjamin Franklin made hemp paper from his paper mill.  Hemp makes stronger paper that can last longer than wood paper by centuries.  It does not need to be bleached like wood paper does, therefore it does not poison water supplies like paper mills do.  And wood paper comes from trees that can take from ten to twenty years to grow while hemp paper comes from hemp that can grow in only 100 days.  Finally, One acre of hemp can produce the same amount of product as ten acres of trees over a twenty year cycle. 

In addition, Hemp is an environmentally friendly crop to harvest. It does not need any pesticides and its roots detoxify the soil, making it perfect to use as a rotation crop.   It is also fast growing and reaches maturity after about 100 days.   It is great for crop rotation as well, allowing farmers to produce two different crops to be grown and harvested in a single season.  Hemp has the potential to help farmers financially by offering an alternative, stable crop. 

Unfortunately, the government has prohibited the growing and harvesting of the crop.  A multitude of jobs could be created if we took advantage of the highly adaptable hemp plant.  A whole new production industry would be created.  Unfortunately, the government has prohibited the growing and harvesting of the crop.  Legalizing marijuana would could create a new crop for farmers, reduce pollution caused by bleaching paper, and help our environment by reducing our need for deforestation.

Another reason to legalize marijuana is that it provides relief for people with certain medical conditions. Medical treatment from marijuana has been shown to be helpful in lessening side effects for cancer and AIDS patients who are going through chemotherapy. By lowering the blood pressure, marijuana provides relief for people who suffer from glaucoma which is a condition where the tension inside the eyeball is abnormally high. In low doses, it can be used to treat depression. Marijuana also stimulates sleep, which aids patients who suffer from insomnia.

Two drugs which are legal in this country, alcohol and tobacco, are known killers.  Every year, tobacco causes 435,000 deaths each year in the United States.  Alcohol causes 85,000 deaths each year.  (http://www.drugwarfacts.org/cms/node/30) The same study shows no deaths attributed to use of marijuana. 

The DEA's Administrative Law Judge, Francis Young stated: "In strict medical terms marijuana is far safer than many foods we commonly consume. For example, eating 10 raw potatoes can result in a toxic response.  Marijuana in its natural form is one of the safest therapeutically active substances known to man. By any measure of rational analysis marijuana can be safely used within the supervised routine of medical care.”

There has not been a recorded case of lung cancer in a person who only smokes marijuana. Research has proven that using marijuana will not lead to any type of cancer. The same statement cannot be said about alcohol, though. It has been proven to add to different long-term negative health effects. Some of these include cancers and cirrhosis of the liver.

Marijuana should be legalized because it has proven health benefits and has been shown to be less harmful to the body than two of the most popular drugs that are legal in the United States, alcohol and tobacco. 

Another reason marijuana should be legalized is that if it is legalized, illegal trade and associated crime involving it will be reduced, and valuable taxes will come out as a result. In 1969, only 16% percent of voters in the United States supported legalizing marijuana, based on a poll by Gallup. According to the same source, the percentage of supporters had risen to 36% by 2005. More recent polls indicate the number has gone up even more since the financial crisis in 2007-2009. Now, between 46% and 56% of US voters would support legalization. The number of supporters for legalization has gone up three times the amount than it was in 1969.

The market for marijuana is universal. "There's no doubt about it that it would generate a lot of revenue. It's a common pastime for a lot of people -- black, white, various economic backgrounds," says Tori More. California could raise $1.3 billion a year for marijuana taxes put into place.

According to his Jeffrey Miron, a professor of economics at Harvard, the government would save $7.7 billion a year if it didn't have to spend money policing and prosecuting marijuana activity. Then, if the government taxed marijuana at the same tax rate as tobacco and alcohol, it could raise another $6.2 billion.

So we could not only raise money from legalizing marijuana and taxing it, we could save money by cutting the cost of law enforcement and the cost of housing non-violent marijuana users in prison.   Stephen Gutwillig, director of the California’s Drug Policy Alliance, and a leader in the fight to legalize marijuana in California said, "Banning marijuana outright has been a disaster, fueling a massive, increasingly brutal underground economy, wasting billions in scarce law enforcement resources and making criminals out of countless law-abiding citizens," he said.    

Having more than 2.3 million citizens incarcerated at the beginning of 2008, the United States is leading the world in the number of people it has behind bars. The average cost of imprisoning these people was $23,876 in 2005, the most recent year for which statistics were available. State expenses vary from $45,000 a year in Rhode Island to $13,000 in Louisiana. More than one in 100 American adults is sentenced prison, which is costing the government near $50 billion a year. These tax dollars could be much better spent on getting our country out of debt.

When it comes to preventing repeat offenses by nonviolent criminals, who make up around half of the imprisoned population, other options for punishment are available. Proven alternative punishments consist of community supervision and required drug counseling, which is way less expensive could prove more effective than time in jail.

            Legalizing marijuana cost help farmers by providing a reliable, money making crop, could help raise money for states in big financial trouble by providing a new tax base, and could help save money by lowering the need for law enforcement to spend time going after non-violent marijuana users and freeing up prison space.  Further, there are proven health benefits for certain medical conditions and marijuana use has been shown to be no more harmful than drugs that are already legal in our country.  Marijuana should be legalized in the United States.

 

Typical stoner propaganda from a stoner who needs his stoned ass killed. Everyone who supports legalizing marijuana is a stoner.

Dr. Lester Grinspoon, an Associate Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, is a strong supporter of Cannabis used as medicine.

Generalizations do not convince those around you, but it can only bring you confusion and illogical amounts of hate.

Which would be 60% of the country who support legalization... Hey buddy, have you heard of prop 19 in California this year? Yep, soon the shit will be legal and you can honestly go rot in denial. People on here have made very good suggestions as to why it SHOULD be legalized. All you have done is say all stoners should die. You are really not giving your side any chance in this fight. Why should marijuana NOT be legalized? Why should cigarettes and alcohol be legal? Because you like doing that more? If you ask me this is America and I don't have to do what you tell me to. This isn't the USSR. You do not own us. If you choose to grow a tomato in your back yard and eat it, go right ahead. I will grow marijuana and smoke it. And that is because you have the right to do it as an American. You know what our 1st presidents' main crop to be sustainable was?? Hemp, otherwise known as marijuana. Now we have an ocean filled with oil, because people like you do not believe in changing our fuels, electricity, clothing, we have an ocean full of plastic and oil and you wonder why? 60 million Americans admit to smoking marijuana every year. That is 20% of our country. You want 1 out of every 5 people in this country to die? What if it was your dad, your mom, aunt, uncle, brother, sister, co-worker, lawyer, doctor, cousin, son/daughter. You want those people to die because they smoke marijuana? You need to know someone who smokes first. When you do that, tell me you still wish death upon them. Dick.

People shouldn't be so biased, and follow other peoples beliefs. Everyone has to have their own opinion, but obviously some dumb fucks, like many of the people here against weed, are boxed in in society. There are three sides to this argument. One is that weed is 'good', which I fully agree with, and then theres people who are just followers of other peoples rules (the governments in general), and then theres people that have actually tried weed, and didn't enjoy it causing them to dislike such a beautiful plant. I was once caged in by society, and was forced into thinking weed was bad. The year before I started smoking two friends tried it, and I was pretty pissed off. The following year I fell in love with Mary Jane.
I fully agree with pot smokers!

haha why dont you just go to a kkk rally or something obviously you have no i dea what your talking about you ignorant cunt, marijuana became illegal for a few reasons but non of them were because its "bad" for you yes it does some harm to the body but what doesnt the oxygen you breath the burgers you eat and the cum you swallow are in some level bad for you, the main reason why it became illigal is because the cotton company would have gone out of buisness because weed or hemp were easier to make stronger and cheaper so they made the whole plant illegal, the other reason is its because its the "colored mans' drug" you should really read up on a topic you wanna bitch at so you know what your talking about faggot

heres some more "propaganda" for your ignorant ass

3. The most obvious concern when dealing with drug safety is the possibility of lethal effects. Can the drug cause death?

"4. Nearly all medicines have toxic, potentially lethal effects. But marijuana is not such a substance. There is no record in the extensive medical literature describing a proven, documented cannabis-induced fatality.

"5. This is a remarkable statement. First, the record on marijuana encompasses 5,000 years of human experience. Second, marijuana is now used daily by enormous numbers of people throughout the world. Estimates suggest that from twenty million to fifty million Americans routinely, albeit illegally, smoke marijuana without the benefit of direct medical supervision. Yet, despite this long history of use and the extraordinarily high numbers of social smokers, there are simply no credible medical reports to suggest that consuming marijuana has caused a single death.

"6. By contrast aspirin, a commonly used, over-the-counter medicine, causes hundreds of deaths each year.

"7. Drugs used in medicine are routinely given what is called an LD-50. The LD-50 rating indicates at what dosage fifty percent of test animals receiving a drug will die as a result of drug induced toxicity. A number of researchers have attempted to determine marijuana's LD-50 rating in test animals, without success. Simply stated, researchers have been unable to give animals enough marijuana to induce death.

"8. At present it is estimated that marijuana's LD-50 is around 1:20,000 or 1:40,000. In layman terms this means that in order to induce death a marijuana smoker would have to consume 20,000 to 40,000 times as much marijuana as is contained in one marijuana cigarette. NIDA-supplied marijuana cigarettes weigh approximately .9 grams. A smoker would theoretically have to consume nearly 1,500 pounds of marijuana within about fifteen minutes to induce a lethal response.

"9. In practical terms, marijuana cannot induce a lethal response as a result of drug-related toxicity."

The USA needs more zombies?

man i hate ppl like u that are always judging people. Make sure your slate is clean before you start coming at others. Just take care of your own and get off people's backs. It sounds like u need a blunt cause you are stressing yo.

Why cant you look past the small amount of negative effects weed causes and see the good ones and how they outnumber it a million to one?

If marijuana was legalized in my state I could be using it to treat my depression, anxiety, and bi-polar disorders. Since it is not legal I have to take more than 12 pills a day. If I miss even one pill I go through a horrible withdrawal and have to wait 24 hours until I can take my medication. My pills ruin my liver, give me a hand tremor, make me dizzy during the day, and ruin all of my creativity.  

When I use weed, I have no side effects, and none of the guilt of knowing that I am harming my body in any big way. My hand tremors are now permanent, but I have been made to deal with it because without the aid of my mother fucking 12 pills a day I would probably not be able to function in normal society.

 

Many people use marijuana for purposes like this, just because some teenagers are immature about it doesn't mean you have the right to generalize a large group of people. Like many before me have said, the amount of people who smoke probably outnumber the number of people who don't.

Maybe if you weren't so close minded you would see earths given gift of cannabis!

Btw fuck you.

SCREW ALL SMOKERS!!!!!SMOKING SUCKS BALLS!!!NO PENISES!!!!NO BALLS AND PENISES!!!!!! U SHOULD NOW THAT SMOKING SUCKS CRAP!!!!

Sounds like you could use some anger management classes and a big fatty, you jerk. Lighten up. If people aren't smoking marijuana, they take some stupid prescription medication that is more harmful than any plant God put on this Earth. The only problem with marijuana is that the U.S. cant find out how to tax the shit or else it WOULD be legal you moron.

You don't want to smoke weed, then don't!  But neither you, nor the government have no right to tell somebody else, what they have to do with their own body.  Drug prohibition goes against the privacy clause in the 14th amendment, all of our nations drug prohibition law s unconstitutional and therefore making marijuana (and every other personal recreational drug) legal in the entire U.S. regardless of weather congress and/or states have passed laws on the books to contradict this.   I don't exactly think that everybody should be doing hard drugs, but EVERYBODY should be doing marijuana, and it's legal weather the cops say it is or not.

so you come up with some whole intelligent arguement about some legal shit you dont even understand. then finish with EVERYONE SHOULD SMOKE WEED. good one!

You have no idea what you are talking about. There is no privacy clause in the 14th Amendment. It includes the citizenship clause, due process clause, and the equal protection clause. I don't see privacy anywhere in there. In fact, the constitution does not contain any express right to privacy. Know what your talking about before you post.

 Im a Bsc honors graduate, just graduated this month from UCLA one of the best universites in the WORLD, i have a first class honours degree, just started my new job in IT Consultancy for a top firm in London earning £40,000 p/a plus bonuses at the age of 22, oh and did i mention i smoke weed, yep love the stuff. The stoners that are lazy are the ones that were always gonna be lazy , and to that degree i agree with you because they waste away and amount to nothing which is a waste for them more than anything. I have my focuses and still enjoyed smoking pot sensibly just like a nice cool budweiser and i don't forget anything because i know my profession like the back of my hand, plus what kind of self respecting person goes to work baked. I am just going to be honest now, you are very closed minded, to dislike it or being in its presence is one thing, but to make such abusive comments is absolute waste of time, and its certainly not productive. You will never be successful with such a closed minded view on life. It is what it is and the world continues to spin.
I was just browsing the net and saw this thread, which disappointed me to see how people talk to each other these days, you can go back to insulting people now!

you should also know that anger problems could be resolved by smoking a little weed, lay off the roids bro. it makes your balls shrink, don't believe? me look down

pfft. Well we dont hate you. Most of us anyway. We pity your closeminededness. Do you eat hamburgers? Burn gasoline? If health is the issue, return when you don't do those things and the thousands of others that are just as bad or worse for you. I've smoked weed for 10 years or better now. I've quite cigs. I've quit de booze. I have not quit hamburgers, but isnt one vice still a little boring. It's sad that you have to waste your energy hating on someone elses habit.

It's not that I'm always right, you're just always wrong.

FINE!!!READ MY SPEECH ON SMOKING!!!ITS NOT MY FAULT U DONT BELIEVE ME!!!!SO DONT GO CRYING U HAVE A BAGGILION HEART ATTACKS!!!!

Take caps lock off. You sound like a complete and ignorant moron.

One thing you aren't realizing is that weed calms most people down. It helps them concentrate and be more of a PEOPLE person. So how is that a bad thing? How come you didn't make a post about drunks? Drunks kill more people in 1 year than weed has ever killed. There are far worse drugs than weed and far worse legal ways to get fucked up. Liquor is way worse than weed...so why don't you go make a post about drunks?

What the hell is wrong with you? You can *always* find something worse. I mean liquor is worse than pot, but rape is worse than liquor, but murder is worse than rape, but genocide is worse than murder ... so what, we can only post about genocide now, because unless we do that, there's worse things to bitch about?

Get a fucking clue and maybe think before you type you brainless sack of shit. What an idiot.

Brainless sack of shit? So that's what I am because I smoke weed? So aren't you Mr. Intelligent. May I ask, do you have the balls to stand up for what you are saying on this website? Or are you just all talk behind your computer screen. I don't see where I told you off, called you any names or disrespected you. So why do you persist on calling me names and attempting to degrade me? Oh I know, because you can't think of anything else better to say. So you decide to show your intelligence by calling names and making a fool out of yourself. Good job, I hope you feel better about yourself. I will make sure to smoke away my life and enjoy it while you sit behind your computer screen and be the cool guy who thinks he can take on the world.

You were't a brainless sack of shit for smoking weed, that was written as a resposne to what you wrote and how your logic made no sense. I guess if you're too stupid to understand that, then my original assessment of your intelligence was spot on. Thanks for proving my point. Go back to hitting that blunt of yours and enjoying your own ignorance. Fucking moron.

FINE SMOKE AWAY AND GET A BAGGILLION HEART ATTACKS AND CANCER!!!BESIDES!!!!LISTEN TO MR.INTELLIGENT!!!(EXEPT FOR THE PART THAT SMOKING CALMS PEOPLE DOWN)I WROTE A SPEECH ABOUT SMOKING AND ITS THE LAST ONE!!!!!!ON 19TH!!!

wow how ignorant can you be, your comparing rape and genocide to smoking weed and getting boozed up, 2 totally different categories, it is interesting tho you came up with the whole rape thing, did your dad give it to ya?

Smoking weed makes you MORE of a person? How is that so? If you can't function with nothing at all in your system, that's ABNORMAL. Ever been short on gas money? Tried using water instead of gas for your car? Doesn't work too well, does it?
Point is, most users say it's a great thing. Okay, so maybe you fell more "relaxed" and THINK you can function better. That's bullshit! NO ONE functions better when their mind is altered. I used to smoke it a lot and came to the conclusion that it's a waste of time.
As far as not hurting anyone while high, have you ever seen the OTHER side of pot? The dealing and packing? People get killed wholesale for it and because of it. I deal with potheads, drunks, meth-heads, heroin addicts, coke adicts and much more almost on a daily basis. Potheads cause their fair share of damage, too. People DO get sick from pot, and I've seen it firsthand. Although it's not the norm, some people are allergic to it and have died from the reactions. Only problem is no one wants to admit it.
So, next time you start to say pot is harmless, check out the latest findings by the same medical groups who used to claim pot was beneficial. Pot is NOT harmless. Smoked pot has no medicinal value at all. It contains over 130 carcinogens in it. Not as much as tobacco, but if pot were grown on the scale tobacco is, you can bet it'd be saturated with toxins. I mean, after all, bugs and diseases would claim way too much, so something would have to be applied to keep them at bay. Hydroponics? Pffffft! Way too expensive and isn't cost-effective. Kinda like using an oxcetelyne torch to light up-not real smart.

I burned for many years and gave it up but I don't hate it or the people who do it. I am guessing that you never tried it. How does that old saying go? Don't diss it till you try it? roll yourself a lil j and burn it...it might chill your ass out!

Don't say it's bad until you try it? What about rape, murder, pedophelia, beastiality, beating your wife, cociane, heroine, etc? Do you see how stupid your argument is yet, or are you just a dumb shit for brains like the last poster? Yeah, that's what I thought.

So hey, go out there, get high on heroine and go on a killing spree. Don't knock it until you've tried it, right? What a fucking retard.

i shoot up heroin and go on killing sprees everyday and its all because i smoked marihuana!

I smoke weed and I'll be happy to get high and beat you like a stepchild. You don't know shit - you sound like a crybaby. Catch a buzz and mellow out, fucking pussy.

Sounds like you've been smoking the wrong kind of shit, dude.

What? You think that all pot smokers are mellow and just TAKE SHIT from everyone? WRONG. Fuck that guy. And ps - I smoke the good shit.

Sounds like you're just another fucking idiot to me. But hey, I'm not a pot-head loser so what would I know about it? Get a fucking clue. It'll never be legalized, and sooner or later your ass will wind up in jail or you'll lose your or both. Don't like it? Tough fucking shit. Find another way to relax, read a book or exercise or something. You pot smoking asshole are just looking for an easy way out of your problems and you figure "hey it makes me feel better, so why not do it?". That whole line of logic is complete and utter fucking crap.

You can abuse store-bought pills and get the same effect, totally legal too, but you don't see people advocating how they feel better after downing half a bottle of drug x or drinking a half bottle of medicine y.

Get fucking real and realize that you're just another junkie and a loser at that. Nobody is going to take you seriously until you come up with a real argument for legalizing weed that goes beyond the purile and childish "It feels good and isn't hurting anyone (a lie anyway) so why not let me do it?".

What a load of horse shit.

So how is smoking pot hurting anyone?

The fact that you don't know is proof enough that your argument is completely weak and your claims are baseless. Get a clue, do some research and open your damn eyes.

And the fact that you won't enlighten us says the same about your argument.

---
It's not that I'm always right, you're just always wrong.

Oh look, it's the redneck who starts his sentences with "And", trying to tell us all what's what.

Tell you what, hill billy, why don't you look up how many people a year die because doped up pot heads take a drive in their car after taking a few hits off their bongs. Or better yet, why don't you look up how many people die from this shit. Or maybe, just maybe, look up the educational patterns (of failure!) for people who become pot heads.

Is that enough, or does the hill billy need more help? Oh hell, why don't you just go fuck yourself (or your sheep) and get back to us when one of you has grown a brain?

Actually, none die a year from these causes. Zip, nada, zero. Don't believe me? Look it up, fuckwad.

Where's the evidence, fuck wad? I don't see any links here. You claim to have read some proof, so why not lay down the law for all to see?

The only thing I find to support your claim is that marijuana itself didn't kill anyone. That is not at all my point. People on weed are the ones who kill people. It impairs your driving ability, that's proven fact.

When you have a loved one taken away by some fucked up pot head that was out driving and fried out of his mind, you can come back and tell us that all that we should legalize the shit and be totally okay with people getting baked before they get behind the wheel. Until then, shut your fucking trap and go fuck yourself.

Just because some people abuse weed and drive while doing it doesn't mean that everybody does that. i smoke weed in my back yard and i don't drive while i'm smoking it. believe it or not, people who smoke pot care about people too. one of the main reasons i started smoking was because potheads were nice to me. they were chill unlike many of my friends who don't smoke.

there you go hahahahah next time read up before you go on about something you have no business talking about. go start a blog about the kkk or sucking dick or something maybe steroids, but on this one your out of your elements mate. now be a good lil bitch and play in traffic

Hillbilly is one word. (a compound word) I have not looked it up in Websters to even see if it is a legitimate word, but in literature it is one word. Dip Shit. How dumb does that look, dipshit?

It's not that I'm always right, you're just always wrong.

Ahh, so you dodge the questions by trying to point out how one typos a word that doesn't technically exist anyway? Oh my, I've been totally pwned, what ever shall I do? I better go piss myself now.

Agreed. You've been owned. Which question was it I dodged, though? I was responding to a ridiculous post about marijuana related deaths. Might I add....ROFL. Keep talking, you are harming your argument more than any factual posts we make can.
