Seems like there's gotta be at least one guy here who knows about marijuana.
Anyone mind helping me answer some questions?
What are the addictive properties of marijuana (physically, psychologically, or both?)
What is the damage to body (including the brain) caused by marijuana?
What are some illnesses caused/intensified by use of marijuana?
Hooray for online health.
Don't listen to what any stoner tells you about weed.
You can get addicted, but it isn't just one or two shot easy, more mentally than physically.
It pretty much kills brain cells every time, and stops neurons from extending while using it. Ontop of that, it stays in your body for about 40-50 days, so if you take a drugtest in that time you're fucked up because it's easily detectable.
Plus you'll smell like shit.
Weed only stays in your body for a day or two if you don't smoke it regularly. It does stay in your hair follicles for a longer time. Smoking seeds and stuff can lead to alzheimer's. Plus, it makes you think that Phish is a good band, and that Dane Cook is funny.
Ahaha thanks for your words of wisdom. I'll probably need to pick certain things over others, but yeah. Thanks. ;8
Marijauna also causes increased risk of getting a disease such as cancer, but shit, who am I kidding? Anything will give you cancer these days.
He obviously didn't read the rest of the post he quoted you from.
MJ is like video games. Video games aren't physically addicting. It's the person who's using it that makes up whether it is or not. So YES, MJ is addicting for some people, but no it's not chemically addictive.
What are the addictive properties of marijuana (physically, psychologically, or both?) Hardly any. Marijuana is nothing like cigarettes or even as addictive as alcohol, and alcohol isn't very addictive.
What is the damage to body (including the brain) caused by marijuana? It destroys a few brain cells, but then so does alcohol. It is said that marijuana has more cancer-causing chemicals than cigarettes, but that's a lie the school text books tell you because they don't want you to smoke weed. And even if it was true, you don't smoke marijuana all the time. It's an occasional thing.
What are some illnesses caused/intensified by use of marijuana? None, unless you smoke enough of it to get cancer, but you probably won't be able to afford enough weed to do that to you.
Weed's also really good for physical pain.
FYI, I don't smoke weed. Haven't even tried it before. But there's this girl I know who does and I ask her questions about it all the time. I'm no expert of course. You can find all kinds of information about weed on the internet as well, although a lot of it is probably biased, especially if it comes from people who are against it.
Your friend is an idiot.
Animefan, you're the bigger idiot. You're talking as if you actually know the subject. >_> Instead, you're just spouting what your "girl" friend may have said.
I'm basically done with the project, but even I know a lot of that is dumb.

You make it sound like drinking tons of alcohol is better than smoking tons of marijuana (I don't really know, but either ain't good, I know that >_> )

Dying also happens to eliminate all physical pain, too.

Oh yeah, information not from people who do research but instead from people who take the drugs and enjoy them will probably be biased, too.
Am I missing something? Because I don't see any reason to be assaulting Animefan in this thread. Maybe a few things in his post were misguided, but certainly not all of it, and certainly not enough to start name-calling.
I don't see any reason to attack Animefan either. Also you only know one person who smokes weed?
I think like 40% of the population smokes down here. Plano is the teen drug use capital in the world :\
Are you forgetting our official moderation policy to ban anyone who defends anything Animefan says or does? I'll let it go for now because you're moderators, but if I see it again I will have no mercy!!!

Actually, we were more like making fun of his friend and his naivety. Unless his friend is him.

I thought you said the piano, lol.
@mastermoo420:
-No, I was saying that smoking lots of marijuana is not as bad for the brain as drinking alcohol.
-Yes, it is a general rule that you don't smoke lots and lots of weed. Some people do but the casual users who have a desire to avoid addiction don't.
-What on earth does death have to do with weed's effects of eliminating pain? That's like saying Are you saying that smoking weed will kill you? Dude, you have to smoke a fucking TON of weed to die from it, and weed isn't one of those things that can kill you in one sitting.
-Information from this particular friend isn't biased. I know her too well, and bias is above her.
I honestly don't care if you agree with me or not, or even if you flame me or not. I was just offering my help/2 cents and if you don't want it, that's fine by me.
Just stop now. You're making it worse.
Whew. Sure is a lot of ignorance goin' on in this thread.
I don't think this is an issue that everyone is going to agree on at all. People's view on this subject are different for every person. Plus, it's hard to say if it is even worth bring up. Look, guys, the jest of it is all drug can be differently and effectively. If people over use drugs, it gets them high. If marry jane gets you to sleep at night (ala moi), then I think that it is used effectively. Now, like animefuck, just lay down quotes from some stoner chick, it's pretty bullshit dude. Try it yourself. Sure, do research, but from both negative and positive points. If you haven't done it, I don't think its an issue for to not to discuss it because you haven't even bothered to try it. Going on a damn website, isn't going to let you experience Marijuana, doing it will. Because I'll tell you something, you can't die yet and you should try everything at least once.
But honestly, isn't it entertaining that the only bad thing some people can find to say about weed any more is that it's a gateway drug?

Anybody who is a lazy waste of space stoner was a lazy waste of space before they began smoking, or would have become a lazy waste of space no matter what substance they eventually chose.
This topic is silly now.

Whew. Sure is a lot of stoners thinking they know anything about anything in this thread.
Amazingly, this is yet another side effect of smoking weed.
I find it surprising that most "emos" prefer to be straightedge, while retaining the whole "you don't understand me nobody understands me" mindset that stoners adapt.
Emos prefer to be whatever Hot Topic tells them to be.
I wil tell you the right anser,I myself can enjoy some Weed at the right time aswell.
But dont judge me in my country it is allowed to smoke Weed since I am an adult.
Weed can become addictif but only if u are weak to it and if used daily,an addiction from weed is rare if you take care of yourself.
It can be a really fun feeling,and trying it a phew times wont hurt at all.your muscles will relax and you will feel tired
Be caution! Weed is not always fun, be sure you feel good and are in a well known place with familiar people.if not you can have a bad trip.
Weed stays in the body for 30 days,this can vary from you size,weight,age and gender.
I hope that ansers your question.
It makes you wonderful at spelling, too.
I hope it's a mix of weed and not being English, otherwise he'd look mega dumb. :)

He's Belgian. His native language is probably French, considering he said "addictif"
Belgian have a Dutch community too.
they also have the malson community.
I can't believe a word NW says. ;-; You guys can keep discussing. I was finished for my online health project ages ago, lol.

Nothing bad comes from smoking marijuana! It makes you smarter, faster, stronger, sing better, play the guitar better, write better, swim faster, it increases your stamina ;), and is pretty much good for you in every way imaginable! Yay!!! It even makes you live longer, I'm reborn in the ashes of my spliff everyday...Damn it feels good to be immortal...
Thank you Mary Jane!
You're rambling like a stoner. Also this topic was dying, why'd you have to post :mad:

okay, I've seen enough. Now I'm pissed.
I knew I was being lied to, but I had NO IDEA it ran this deep.
Look, I'm a paramedic, and even I could have told you that all the OD's I got called to were from coke, smack, speed, crack- ANYTHING but pot. To think that even coffee is more addictive and destructive to a human body, though... I just don't know what to say. People get addicted to shit their doctor gives them but pot's illegal. Feh.
Take ephedrine off the shelves. Tell pain management clinics to shut down. Stop the gov't subsidy of tobacco. That's a better use of the DEA's time, eh?
All of those OD's that you've gotten called to were most likely at one time only pot smokers.
@mastermoo"420" - I hope you're OK! ^,^
QuoteWhat are the addictive properties of marijuana (physically, psychologically, or both?)

If you are to do a report on this you can easily get mixed up
when gathering the myths and the facts...
review multiple sources...
some sources will say "YES it's HIGHLY addictive."
other sources comment "NO it's not addictive at all."
and occasionally a pothead will say "OK it's a little addicitve, now pass the Funyuns!"
etc,etc...
Of course there are health risks: depending how you consume it.
those who 'smoke' it through a non-filtered glass or metal pipe are at more risk of lung cancer
than someone inhaling filtered smoke through a bong or water pipe.
but someone who eats it wouldn't develop lung cancer now would they?
in contrast to the negative affects and health risks you should also look into medicinal marijuana.
(not smoked) it is used for pain relief, control of nausea and vomiting, and appetite stimulation.
now as for treating epilepsy and glaucoma... that's a stoner myth.
Regardless, beyond "society", everyone's opinion and perception, medical facts, laws and regulations..
there's no way to deny that it's a natural resource, it is of this earth, no it is not "man-made."
The reality is, that it's illegal in most places of this earth, now that's "man-made."
(all for good reason I'm sure, $control$)
just keep an open mind... and review this thread, you will notice how
some of those who are against it.......sure sound like they need a hit!
and some of those who are for it............sound like they should quit cold turkey!
but no matter who you are... you always pick your poison. ~g

ahh...when you have to explain your jokes... you know they're not funny.
(maybe the potheads laughed, they'll laugh at anything...)
sorry if my humor was in bad taste, it happens every now and then...
the rest was for those who are continuing to discuss and rewiew this thread...
I just wanted to make the "un-biased post"...and shed some light on both ends. ~g
wut
gameface, you have to use smaller words for Moo. He's a little slow lol
@ Holk: Maybe, but consider the following.
Maybe the hardcore junkies were starting with pot to see if it would satisfy their "needs", and when they found it did not, they tried other things. Perhaps even several things. I would disagree with pot somehow leading to other garbage in and of itself. I think people who end up using harder drugs are simply in an environment where illicit substance use is accepted, and thus have "connections" to dealers who can supply their wants AND a social structure which condones such behavior, ultimately leading to validation of their desire to use other substances. In other words, the opportunity , the desire and some kind of social or emotional enablement must be present. :D That's what I think.
