Kinda like that.

 

And Doritos and pizza taste 10 times better.

 

So basically the same as when I drink a really strong coffee or eat ice cream

I sincerely don't know how this thread morphed into topic on guns. I'll say this. In the 1900's, they tried to outlaw alcohol what they did was create an empire of organized crime that peddled it into the country. Crime sky rocked. Then they made it legal. People drink it without even thinking on this thing used to be illegal. I like to use to the word evolve. It imply's that we as a nation have grown.

 

I think America will evolve into making it legal in every state. I just don't get why people would not want something that would take money off the tax payers back. Think of all the small crime dealers that are being locked up on the tax payers time. The prison system itself is overcrowding. We have more people per captia locked up then I think any other nation in the world.

 

Why wouldn't something as harmless as this be legal. When you can buy more dangerous things more easier. Yet the stuff that makes you feel good and laugh is illegal but the stuff that makes you (possibly turn violent when drinking alcohol is legal)

Yes but the munchies be crazy!

Yes but the munchies be crazy!

 

I remember getting the munchies like crazy. I would put on an episode of south park or family guy then just start eating ice cream. Everything tasted much better. I would literally devour like six ice cream Sunday's. It got to the point of even being embarrassing. I recall stocking up on food on the market while on having a serious case of the munchies. The person next to me said. He must have pregnant girlfriend at home. I was thinking to myself. (Nope. Just me.)

No. The stuff has been getting more potent and is actually quite close to hard drugs now. It can affect memory (negatively) and increases the risk of developing schizophrenia. Plus the smoke of a joint is even more harmful than that of a regular, disgusting cigarette.

Too bad the game is a bad joke.

 

I think it's actually pretty good.

I don't know if your serious or actually trolling. I never heard of it increasing the risk of schizophrenic. That's a mental disorder you are either born with or not. As potent as the stuff is, not one person has ever ..died to it, ever. More harmful then a regular cigarette. Those things are known to cause cancer of the lungs, throat. So much their is a label on them that says "This leads to cancer"..you are saying they are equally dangerous...can you cite some study's that say smoking pot leads to cancer or mental disorder.

​The Taliban would highly disagree with this, lol. 

 

And in all fairness, the Taliban took disproportionate losses and sued the U.S. government over 'unlawful' drone strikes that annihilated their command structure. 

 

Plus, the Taliban are a lot better armed than US citizens.

Pfff.

Potency is a baseless argument. If you legalize it, you can regulate it.

And detrimental effects aren't a really good argument either. Alcohol, cigarettes, many sorts of food.

Either ban everything with possible detrimental effects, or put the choice in the individual hands.

Saying no to pot, but yes to alcohol is arbitrary as hell. Drunk people are annoying, start fights and kill other people by driving their car. Stoners just sit at home playing video games.

That's because people are lacing it with crap. Adding chemicals and crap to it beyond pure THC. 

 

I think the pure THC content itself isn't what the problem with this is. What you are describing isn't necessarily unmodified marijuana.

On the opposite of this, Stoners can do stupid things as well. I've known a few who started fires when they were too high to do anything safe, and I've seen parents neglect their children because they're high too high.

 

Meanwhile, I get drunk, get my philosophy rant's going, type on the internet, and call a cab while taping my keys to my back for some reason (drunk logic).

There will always be stupid people and bad parents, sober or not.

But alcohol, like cocaine and amfetamines, make you overzealous and think you can do everything, where in fact you can't. But anyone who's ever smoked a joint will know you'd rather not attempt something while stoned. You'd rather just sit on the couch and be lazy. So if we're talking danger to yourself and other people, alcohol is easily the winner over pot.

can you cite some study's that say smoking pot leads to cancer or mental disorder.

 

Cannabis and psychosis: Neurobiology

[God]

As a guy who has been told more than once that I drink quite a lot, yet have been told I have a good handle of myself to not go too far, I can tell you that drunkeness does not make me feel like I can do everything. 

 

When I was younger and more impressionable, I experimented once or twice with marijuana, and I found that it did jack **** for me. I didn't feel it, and I didn't feel lazy. Just underwhelmed.

[God]

Yuuuuuup. Stay off drugs kids. 

 

I don't mind the legalization of pot, but I do think there does need to be more awareness of what it can potentially lead to.

 

It's like tobacco and alcohol. People need to be informed about their choice, and know negative consequences do exist. 

 

That said, I do believe it should be factual. I question the source here.

Cannabis and psychosis: Neurobiology

Have you actually read it?

It's a 'component cause', meaning it interacts with genetics and quite possibly other factors such as nutrition.

Banning it for that reason is like banning strawberries because some people are allergic to it.

edit:
In my group of friends in high school there was one guy who litteraly went insane from the stuff. Full blown schizoprenia at age 15. I'm not denying weed can have very bad effects.

In hindsight, it was painfully obvious something was wrong with the guy from the start. His being stoned was so different from ours.

"It's interesting. More people die on painkillers in a single month. Then people die on weed in a lifetime. "
Incorrect use of the word "then." Blunt blower spotted.

You should be careful regarding your inquiry.

 

I know. Schizophrenia is a complex disease. But, I think it stands that cannabis use is a risk factor for psychosis.

 

I'm also not advocating any legal action for or against it. But, if I post something from Pubmed, it has weight.

[bmwcrazy]

Drugs are bad, mmmkay?

Yes, but my background is in biology. I know how this stuff works. I'm not denying what the study says.

But it's not as simple as smoking weed gives you a higher chance of getting schizopheni. It's saying that, most likely, smoking weed gives you a higher chance of developping schizophrenia if you already have a predisposition towards it.

Like people can have a predisposition for lungcancer. If you start smoking in that case, chances of you developing lungcancer are immense. If you have completely no predispopition for lung cancer, chances that you'll never develop lungcancer at all from smoking are pretty high. You'd have to unlucky, in that case.

And if you're really unlucky and are born with a very high predisposition for lungcancer, chances are that you'll develop it in your lifetime without smoking at all

Actually, just straight-up THC has been linked to prostate cancer in men, and is a known depressant.

Don't do it.
