That wasn't my point, Point was its going to put so much more bad shit out on the streets, I say keep it ilegal so that dose not happen.
How do you mean? If pot gets legalized, it wont "put so much more bad shit out on the streets", thats ridiculous.
Bull.
Last week when my idiot singer got high and drove t
rk and hit two cars while parking and then opened a pressurized spray bottle and got his face doused with chlorine.
Usage isn't spread enough and no one has studied if it causes cancer. Does pot itself cause cancer, most likely not. Does the shit some idiot sprays/soaks it in before he sell it to you cause cancer? Yeah.
I have heard of people doing stupid shit on pot? Yes. All the time. Drugs use and being a musician is synonymous, especially in college towns, so I have seen and heard more of more stupid stuff done by people high on all kinds of stuff. Are people violent on pot? No. Are they worthless? Yes. You can't do any thing on pot. You can't play, you can't drive, you can't carry a real conversation, you can't do any thing. You just think you can.
Ok, that's one person smoking weed and being a complete retard, not all of them.
And for you saying "are they worthless?" Yes.", thats fuckin' ruuuuuuuude.
I smoke weed nearly daily, I get A+ marks (when I go to school), I have a "gifted" IQ, I can do pretty much anything high that I can do sober, and a lot better too.
How would you like it if I said, all the people who take Adderal are worthless, or all the people who take Rittalin (or however its spelled) are retards?
You're stereotyping, get a life man.
As for your shit about the usage of marijuana n how no one has been able to study what it does....
The Mayan's (ancient civilization, I'm sure you've heard of them), the ancient Sumerian's, some Chinese civilizations and many more groups have used Marijuana for more than its effects on the brain.
Here's an excerpt from druglibrary.org
The earliest record of man's use of cannabis comes from the island of Taiwan located off the coast of mainland China. In this densely populated part of the world, archaeologists have unearthed an ancient village site dating back over 10,000 years to the Stone Age.
Scattered among the trash and debris from this prehistoric community were some broken pieces of pottery the sides of which had been decorated by pressing strips of cord into the wet clay before it hardened. Also dispersed among the pottery fragments were some elongated rod-shaped tools, very similar in appearance to those later used to loosen cannabis fibers from their stems.[1] These simple pots, with their patterns of twisted fiber embedded in their sides, suggest that men have been using the marijuana plant in some manner since the dawn of history.
The discovery that twisted strands of fiber were much stronger than individual strands was followed by developments in the arts of spinning and weaving fibers into fabric - innovations that ended man's reliance on animal skins for clothing. Here, too, it was hemp fiber that the Chinese chose for their first homespun garments. So important a place did hemp fiber occupy in ancient Chinese culture that the Book of Rites (second century B.C.) ordained that out of respect for the dead, mourners should wear clothes made from hemp fabric, a custom followed down to modern times.[2][/2][/1]
What that says, is that the Chinese have used Marijuana fibers (also called Hemp, all american money is printed on this) for its industrial uses, such as threads, clothes, and many more things.
The American government banned all use of Marijuana / Hemp because of the high it produces, but in Hemp, when used for clothes and shit, has LESS THAN .02% THC. THC (TetraHydroCannibinol) is the little crystals on the bud that gets you high, it's found in the brain (naturally of course) and many many many cancer treatments, MY grandma is on a pill for pain and arthritis that is based on Cannabinoids (THC is a Cannabinoid), she WAS on OxyCotton (aka legal fucking heroin, mass produced by the government) for years (10+) and has told me that she always felt pain while on Oxy's, but it was less noticeable, but when she was switched over to the CBD (short for Cannabinoid) pills, she instantly was better.
I've asked her lately how her pain is since switching to the CBD's, and she has told me that it is 100% gone.
So now you tell me, whats the major fucking problem with Mary Jane?
Also, if you think you're so amazing at knowing all this shit about weed, try watching the video The Union: The business behind Getting High.
The Union: The Business Behind Getting High (2007) - IMDb <-- IMDb link of The Union
I grew up in BC (where the film was shot) and I personally know the person who made the video.
I highly suggest you watch that documentary before making any educated guess on how harmful Weed is to the body.
More excerpts from that site are below.
While traces of early Chinese fabrics have all but disappeared, in 1972 an ancient burial site dating back to the Chou dynasty (1122-249 B.C.) was discovered. In it were fragments of cloth, some bronze containers, weapons, and pieces of jade. Inspection of the cloth showed it to be made of hemp, making this the oldest preserved specimen of hemp in existence.[3]
The ancient Chinese not only wove their clothes from hemp, they also used the sturdy fiber to manufacture shoes. In fact, hemp was so highly regarded by the Chinese that they called their country the "land of mulberry and hemp".
The mulberry plant was venerated because it was the food upon which silkworms fed, and silk was one of China's most important products. But silk was very expensive and only the very wealthy could afford silken fabric. For the vast millions of less fortunate, cheaper material had to be found. Such material was typically hemp.
Ancient Chinese manuscripts are filled with passages urging the people to plant hemp so that they will have clothes.[4] A book of ancient poetry mentions the spinning of hempen threads by a young girl.[5] The Shu King, a book which dates back to about 2350 B.C., says that in the province of Shantung the soil was "whitish and rich...with silk, hemp, lead, pine trees and strange stones..." and that hemp was among the articles of tribute extorted from inhabitants of the valley of the Honan.[6][/6][/5][/4][/3]
As they became more familiar with the plant, the Chinese discovered it was dioecious. Male plants were then clearly distinguished from females by name (hsi for the male, chu for the female). The Chinese also recognised that the male plants produced a better fiber than the female, whereas the female produced the better seeds.[8] (Although hemp seed was a major grain crop in ancient China until the sixth century A.D.,[9] it was not as important a food grain as rice or mullet.[10])
Hemp fiber was also once a factor in the wars waged by Chinese land barons. Initially, Chinese archers fashioned their bowstrings from bamboo fibers. When hemp's greater strength and durability were discovered, bamboo strings were replaced with those made from hemp. Equipped with these superior bowstrings, archers could send their arrows further and with greater force. Enemy archers, whose weapons were made from inferior bamboo, were at a considerable disadvantage. With ineffectual archers, armies were vulnerable to attack at distances from which they could not effectively return the hail of deadly missiles that rained upon them. So important was the hemp bowstring that Chinese monarchs of old set aside large portions of land exclusively for hemp, the first agricultural war crop.[11]
In fact, every canton in ancient China grew hemp. Typically, each canton tried to be self-sufficient and grow everything it needed to support its own needs. When it couldn't raise something itself, it grew crops or manufactured materials that it could trade for essential goods. Accordingly, crops were planted around homes not only because of the suitability of the land, but also because of their commercial value. The closer to the home, the greater a crop's value.
Because food was essential, millet and rice were grown wherever land and water were available. Next came vegetable gardens and orchards, and beyond them the textile plants, chiefly hemp.[12] Next came the cereals and vegetables.
After the hemp was harvested by the men, the women, who were the weavers, manufactured clothes from the fibers for the family. After the family's needs were satisfied, other garments were produced for sale. To support their families, weaving began in autumn and lasted all winter.[13][/13][/12][/11][/10][/9][/8]
During the course of its long history in China, hemp found its way into almost every nook and cranny of Chinese life. It clothed the Chinese from their heads to their feet, it gave them material to write on, and it became a symbol of power over evil.
Like the practice of medicine around the world, early Chinese doctoring was based on the concept of demons. If a person were ill, it was because some demon had invaded his body. The only way to cure him was to drive the demon out. The early priest-doctors resorted to all kinds of tricks, some of which were rather sophisticated, like drug therapy, which we will examine shortly. Other methods involved outright magic. By means of charms, amulets, spells, incantations, exhortations, sacrifices, etc., the priest-doctor did his utmost to find some way of getting the upper hand over the malevolent demon believed responsible for an illness.
As physicians became more and more familiar with the properties of drugs, ma continued to increase in importance as a therapeutic agent. In the second century A.D., a new use was found for the drug. This discovery was credited to the famous Chinese surgeon Hua T'o, who is said to have performed extremely complicated surgical procedures without causing pain. Among the amazing operations he performed are organ grafts, resectioning of intestines, laparotomies (incisions into the loin), and thoracotomies (incisions into the chest). All these difficult surgical procedures were said to have been rendered painless by means of ma-yo, an anaesthetic made from cannabis resin and wine. The following passage, taken from his biography, describes his use of cannabis in these operations:
But if the malady resided in the parts on which the needle [acupuncture], cautery, or medicinal liquids were incapable of acting, for example, in the bones, in the stomach or in the intestine, he administered a preparation of hemp [ma-yo] and, in the course of several minutes, an insensibility developed as if one had been plunged into drunkenness or deprived of life. Then, according to the case, he performed the opening, the incision or the amputation and relieved the cause of the malady; then he apposed the tissues by sutures and applied linaments. After a certain number of days the patient finds he has recovered without having experienced the slightest pain during the operation.[19][/19][/acupuncture]
