- Nobody has ever died from smoking pot (please feel free to prove me wrong) and you can’t overdose on it. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
- Marijuana users report less depression and can cure blindness
- Marijuana does not cause emphysema, unlike tobacco
- Daily marijuana use doesn’t damage your brain
- There has never been a study to link marijuana with psychological problems
- Marijuana can prevent migraines
- Marijuana is less addictive than caffeine. There is no physical addiction but a slight mental addiction can develop
- Because legality isn’t a good enough reason for you to not smoke. Slavery was once legal and sodomy was once illegal; legality is a horrid barometer for morality
- Marijuana Prevents Alzheimer's Disease
- Because it feels good and it doesn't hurt anyone!

Dub,
I agree that marijuana can be a gateway drug, but that comment holds true to the weak minded. I personally had been drunk before i had smoked pot in 7th grade and that was one of the reasons why i tried it.
I would like to know what you would consider a drug. Something addictive? Something that alters your state of mind? Well if you agree, then you can say that food is a drug. If I don't have it I crave it. When I'm hungry I'm grumpy, sleepy and extremely unsociable. Everything that we come into contact with changes our mental state. one minute your happy, another minute your sad, right after your bf/gf dumps you.
Also. you said "how do the numbers compare between the people who smoke pot and the people who do not when it comes to meth and coke addictions?" Of course all the meth and coke heads have done pot. thats just stupid to ask. But now, if you want to be truly amazed, check out how many people have smoked pot and AREN'T coke or meth heads. I'm, truly sorry that you and your friends craved the high and moved on to deadly drugs but thats not the marijuana's fault. i have smoke pot for 7 years and I have been able to understand that marijuana is not the drug that will kill me. I have avoided all the other drugs and am excelling through life. Marijuana is not for everybody. Those that continue to crave a high are the ones that are at risk of losing their life to drugs... but those are the individuals, not the drug itself.
Glad to hear pot WAS addictive to you. It means you are no longer addicted to it... but it also means you MAY be on other things. If that is true, I suggest you get off them before you add to the "statistics" that marijuana is a gateway drug... goodluck Dub, and if you find a craving for sumthing other than Mary Jane, just smoke a Dub right fast.

To users,
You only have to read the idiotic posts here to see quite clearly that marijuana damages your brain. It just makes you THINK that your brain isn't damaged. If you don't believe me then read the following link.

ok you people who are against smoking weed are retarded. smoking weed can't cause cancer because THC kills aging cells before they can get cancerous. smoking weed cures alzhemers, glaucoma, asthma. it helps eating disorders. it helps stress, insomnia, depression, and alot of other mental disorders. smoking weed does almost no harm to you and if you use a vaporizer that takes away the "almost" and does no harm. Barack Obama, George W. Bush, the band members of Bongzilla, George Washington, Ben Franklin, and many other famous, successful people have admitted they smoke weed. Thomas Jefferson grew weed. it makes people happy, you can't overdose on it, it doesnt cause a hangover, its not addictive physically, and its fuckin fun to smoke it.

everytime you say something you just seem so much more retarded. for one you gotta be a retard to get caught. and MARIJUANA ISNT COKE so stop comparing them. i hate all these fucking people who need to compare weed to something stronger to take the focus away from the subject. im gonna take ur advice, being sober is great to, but OJ was sober and he killed bitches. if he was high as fuck that wouldve never happened. shouldve gave jeff daumer some bud, wouldnt of killed people.

weed.
pot.
dope.
whatever you wanna call it.
its up to you.
if it was that bad, it would be gone.
out of the u.s.
is it? nope.
cause it isnt really that bad for you.
if they were able to tax it, everyone would smoke it.
also, if it was legal, noone would do it, so people would do worse things.
like herion. and that messed up stuff.
so all you stupied people that are like "oh no pot is bad! it will kill you!" pot wont kill you.
is the "pott" holding a gun shooting you? no.
is the "pott" pushing you off a bridge? no.
is the "pott" holding a razor cutting you? no.
all pot does is make you feel good. and whats wrong with that?
sex makes people feel good.
shouldnt sex be illegal?
sex does bad things.
it makes teen mothers and fathers.
helps deliever aids and stuff.
so think about it. is pot really that bad.
no.

i am 14 years old. i smoked pot for the first time last summer with my brothers. it was one of the best feelings that i have ever had. the next morning though, i slowly began to realize that the night before had been the only time i had ever had fun with my brothers and it made me sad to know that a drug helped us do that.
the group of guys i started hanging out with this year all started smoking pot. i didn't mind it at first and i actually liked toking up with them on occasion. But then they started smoking everyday. On the weekends and on the weekdays. Before school, and even skipping class sometimes to chief in some high school guy's car. When they first started smoking, i liked being around them because it was funny to watch, but it has progressively gotten more and more obnoxious over the past year.
They are emotional when they are high and are clingy and sometimes extremely mean. Now it seems like every time i am with them, they are high. They HAVE to be high to have fun. It makes me question how much of me they actually like now because they perceive me differently when they are stoned.
They also have all been caught by there parents several times and are constantly getting grounded and in enormous fights with them. It makes them depressed but they continue to smoke anyways. I have no idea what to do. I really really care about them and i don't want them to throw their friends and their familys and their lives away. I could just stop being friends with them, but then i would regret not being there to help them. What should i do? Does anyone have any advice?
I feel that pot can be an amazing outlet for people and their creativity and honestly its stupid for our government to make a plant illegal. But i have seen the way that pot has effected my relationships with my brothers and my friends and it really makes me question how much of the world actually enjoys smoking pot and are not bothered by people doing it, and how many people are just not speaking up.

All I am going to say is. For me, pot definately is a really good thing. Before I started smoking pot I had terrible ADD, I could not pay attention to anything for the life of me. I dropped out of school because it was so hard to focus and keep up with my school work. when I started smoking pot my ADD started becoming less and less severe. I got into a program with a college to help earn the credits I needed to get my diploma. and am now enrolled for college courses this fall. I am much more aware now, and over all just a much more well rounded person. I notice for me personally marijuana helps me to get more done, pay more attention to detail, and to actually just get things done that I need to get done. Now my first few times were not this great. at first I got the paranoia, and my OCD went off the wall. but as I got used to it, and started smoking it daily I've become who I am today. A much more happy, condfident, well rounded accomplished person. I will say though, this is just me. and not everyone will have the same experience I am sure. but a lot of my friends and family also smoke pot and none of them have any problems either.

OK. so i am 16 and i smoke every weekend. have good grades, a job and friends. i do it in my room and i WILL not leave it unitl the next morning. so what am I doing wrong besides its illegal? i mean its ok to smoke cigarettes but not weed? True it does kill brain cells. but honestly so do cell phones and so does running! and in the bible god said love everything green! the indians used to smoke it and had all these other herbs and they would stay alive for a good 90 years. (im part indian) and its a natural herb so go ahead and illegalize spearmint. it changes your breath..weed is somethin i do to unwind from a long week. most people do the exact same thing i bet. Give me your feed back revarc@live.com

Donofat, I agree 100%. Alcohol and cigs are worse. Why make those legal? Maybe before I die it will someday be legal because I think it has so many purposes that anti-drug pundits purposely overlook.
You can add this to your list:
Marijuana helps with depression, panic attacks and other mood disorders, such as bipolar disorder. Of course there aren't studies done in the U.S. to back that up. I only speak from personal experience and other people I know with certain medical conditions.

Donofat, I like this story. It's good stuff.

When it comes down to it there are far worse drugs out there than weed. Alcohol and Cigarettes are much worse for you than weed is. There are many benefits to weed but you can't deny that ther must be some bad things as well.
So as far as I can tell, if your aware of the disadvantages of weed yet you still want to do it then go for it. just accept the consequences if they happen to ocurr.
At the end of the day, if your happy to have a few drinks down at the pub, of a cigarette after a meal, then whats wrong with having the odd joint, when it is FACT that it is no where near as harmful?!?!
Oh and also I've read in many articles that the only test conducted to see if weed can cause brain damage was done on monkeys, and they literally gave them 1000s of spliffs worth of smoke in 20 minutes. This did give the monkeys brain damage,, However, they forgot that the monkeys little brains need oxygen!! So really there are no tests (to my knowlege) that prove weed causes brain damage!

Get High not Stoned or Drunk. I believe getting High is a God given ability to feel extremely relaxed, confident, patient, creative, energetic, along with heightened concentration, self discipline, awareness with the ability to step outside of oneself to be more objective and to accomplish ones dreams and ambitions. Being an x pot smoker I believe people need to get high, not stoned. With this in mind I created self hypnosis cd's which I am giving away for free at Freehigh.net. Pick from Free High Cannabis, Free High 100% Proof and Free High Natural as an alternative to pot and alcohol. Please visit freehigh.net for your free CD.

as for the marijuana has never been linked to psychological problems one study has shown that heavy use of marijuana from adolescents to adulthood can bring out symptoms of schizophrenia in people who have a genetic predisposition for it just to clarify

I agree with almost every argument stated in this article, however, would all this data still qualify for underage smokers/experimenters? I have a 14 year old teenager that wishes to smoke for 4-20-09, which in the "Pothead" world, this refers to the legal time/date that smoking is preferred to occur due to several Urban Legends.
I, however, have a problem with underage use of any kind. I am a user for stress relief as well as for social use and do not wish to seem hypocritical of this topic, but find myself at an in-pass in stating my rational on why he/she should not partake in an a mind altering substance, at such a young age. I always refer to the phrase and philosophy of KIT "Keeping It Local," as well as, NU3 "No Unsupervised Underage Use."
Excitedly,
Stoney
