This may be true for some people who smoke, perhaps most.  However, it is too general to be useful.  In some cases, marijuana causes rather than subdues aggression.  In the meantime Aldous Huxley ("Brave New World") had a few things to say about drugging a population in order to keep them pliable under control.

*In some cases*, you could say that about anything.

 

But seriously, when is the last time you heard of a wife-beatin' pothead?

 

Alcohol on the other hand...

[kiteman9]

Marijuana is a herb that is always being talked about all over the media. There is constant debate on whether it should be legalized or not. Also, debate on if it were to be legalized, how would they make it work. All these questions are things the government takes into account every day. There is a big divide between people’s beliefs on this matter. Some people think it should be, others think it shouldn’t, and some think it should be with some modifications on the usage. When you look at the benefits, there is no question that marijuana should be legal throughout the entire country. There are way more positive things that could come out of it being legal.

The first reason weed should be legalized is because how many other drugs are legal. Weed is one of a few not too harmful herbs that are illegal. Many hard drugs such as painkillers, heroine, and cocaine are drugs that are very destructive to your health and possibly even your life. Marijuana should not be put under the same category as these drugs. It should be under the category that includes alcohol, tobacco, and even sugar. These drugs are more commonly related to marijuana than hard drugs (Nathan). Also, it is clear that alcohol and tobacco are more harmful to a person that marijuana. That’s why I don’t understand how the policy on marijuana isn’t equal if not more in favored than the policies on alcohol and tobacco. Even sugar in many health aspects can be considered more harmful than marijuana. Marijuana is a herb that is a lot safer and harder to over dose than alcohol (Nathan). That’s why many cannot understand why marijuana isn’t legal and alcohol is. Marijuana should have fair legal policies just like all the other “drugs” that are considered to be in the same category as it. The policy must be changed.

The next reason marijuana should be legalized is because it would keep kids off the streets and away from drugs that are more harmful. Marijuana in many cases could be sold from dealers who also sell hard drugs. Therefore, if marijuana was legal and sold in a store in the correct way, it would help kids stay away from other drugs that dealers have to offer (Nathan). Also, it would stop kids from getting into the drug dealing business. They would have fewer motives to sell to their friends and other people. If the policy was changed and it could be sold in stores it would stop kids from selling all together. Being a dealer would be way less effective and it could stop many drug dealers and clean up the streets (Alternet). Marijuana is going to be sold either way, so it might as well be sold legally. If the policy was changed and it was sold legally it would keep kids out of danger and make it harder to be a drug dealer.

Another very good reason to legalize marijuana is how much it could save the government money, and maybe even make money out of it. Marijuana is very hard on the justice system financially. If the policy was changed and it was legalized it could be taxed and used for government funding (Alternet). It has been studied and many studies show that weed could create very good revenue (Head). Not only can legal marijuana help make money but it can also help out the justice system a lot. Over 750,000 people are arrested for marijuana a year. This number is crazy if you think about the danger level of marijuana. 750,000 people are arrested for something that doesn’t directly cause harm to anyone else. Also, not only does enforcement have to arrest these people but also they have to pay for each individual case. Another way it could help out the justice system is by opening up jail spots. Marijuana users take up far to much jail space which could be used for much more serious offenders (Alternet). All in all, legalizing marijuana could help out the justice system immensely and the policy should be changed immediately.

The health and comfort of the people should be the major concern of the government. Marijuana has many positive attributes that could help people in every day life. Many people that are suffering from ailing symptoms could use this herb. Marijuana could be used to help with pain, nausea, spasticity, and other symptoms that normal drugs just simply aren’t curing. Also, it could be a great way to allow people to relax themselves on a normal basis. For the most parts the symptoms of marijuana are very mild and are easy to deal with. Not very often are people uncontrollable or in a state of danger when using this herb. Marijuana is a herb that easily builds tolerance and allows people to handle the symptoms better. If people can handle the symptoms and use the herb properly I don’t understand why it shouldn’t be legalized. Many people will tell you that the symptoms are much more positive than negative.

Last, does the government ever ask themselves the question “has anyone ever died from marijuana usage?” They must not ask themselves that question because the answer would be no. There isn’t even a section for marijuana in the disease control and protection section. That is because marijuana is not linked to death in any way. Also, it is shown to have no link to cancer or any other harmful diseases there are out there. Marijuana isn’t even linked to lung cancer. Many people would think it would be linked to cancer especially of the throat but that is not the case (huffing). The fact that marijuana doesn’t directly cause death and also doesn’t lead to other harmful diseases just proves why it should be legal. The policy clearly should be changed if the government doesn’t even consider the herb a danger to disease. However, the government has such a big concern on alcohol use and spends most its time worrying about that. If marijuana isn’t a major concern for the government then why not just make it legal. If it isn’t dangerous enough to even have a category then why wouldn’t it be legal. The policy is clearly not right and much be changed.

The use of marijuana has always been questioned but now is the time for countries to let the usage of the herb to be addressed.  It is no longer acceptable to not consider legalization because the countries have already taken matters into their own hands by making it legal, Colorado and Washington were the first to do so this past election season.  The counter argument to legalization of marijuana would be studies that show smoking “weed” would change emphazama and lower IQ’s but smoking cigarettes or any tobacco product also cause emphazema and drinking alcohol is proven to harm your IQ and kill your brain cells.

All in all, marijuana should be legalized and the policy should be changed immediately. There is too much good to come from this policy changed not to do it. There are many people that agree with a policy change and the government needs to do the same. Marijuana can clearly help make any country better for the people in many ways. Health is obviously a major concern for the government and that is why they might hesitate to legalize it. But, as studies show there are few health risks and even some positive health factors that weed could contribute. Also, how much legal marijuana can help our government funding and justice system is another reason the policy needs to be changed now. Keeping kids off the streets and drug dealers from selling to kids is also more proof of how poorly the current policy is running. Legal marijuana could help hard drugs from spreading to the wrong people. Also, it will keep the amount of drug dealers down and the amount of legal shops up. All in all marijuana would do much more positive than it would negative if it were to be legalized. The policy that is preventing the legalization of marijuana must be changed at once. Legal marijuana can help. The government needs to see these facts and change the marijuana policy as soon as possible.

why such negative for cannabis. you cannot get addicted to it. it can relieve your muscle pain and especially back pain. so, yes, that makes you addicted because the pain is reduce. Like any pain killer like tylenol your not addicted but you sure like it because the pain goes away. huge number of people are in pain...some even commit suicide or wish they die. The take CBD and the pain goes away. so is CBD wrong? of course not. there are 1000s of drugs far worse.

The law involving the cultivation of cannabis will be comprehensive and involve strict adherence by growers who must be licenced. This will not be a free-for-all for pot-heads.

You do realise we are talking about growing, controlling and licensing this stuff in Thailand.  Since when have any laws here been strictly adhered to? The chances of them being adhered to for this garbage is NIL.

Canabis is also know for generating bipolar and other mental issues, not necessarily connected to addiction.  Alcohol can of course create its own problems, but personally I prefer to avoid canabis, which is associated with mental illness.

Spelt differently?

Despite their similar chemical structures, CBD and THC don’t have the same psychoactive effects. CBD is psychoactive, just not in the same manner as THC. It doesn’t produce the high associated with THC. CBD is shown to help with anxiety, depression, and seizures.

THC binds with the cannabinoid 1 (CB1) receptors in the brain. It produces a high or sense of euphoria. CBD binds very weakly, if at all, to CB1 receptors. CBD needs THC to bind to the CB1 receptor and, in turn, can help reduce some of the unwanted psychoactive

As for CBD oils, there is still no scientific evidence that it does anything to cure any illness although I do understand from some that have tried it that it can help reduce pain and aid sleep.

You don't forget to eat when high on ganja, on the contrary ????

It's used in medecine for that too, people sick with no appetite, regain appetite.

 

Problem with pharma ganja is it will be extract of CDB only i think.

And like with illegal weed, nobody will know the chemicals added to grow it. And if the plant has ever been rinced (water only the last 2-3 weeks to get rid of most chemical). Nor the process used to grow it (natural light or not, quality of water, soil or the wrong "hydro", etc.)

Nor actually if it will be Sativa (as Thailand seeds are originally), or Indica, or a GMO.

Duration of grow matters too. Drying technique too. Etc.

 

So if people (including farangs) can grow it themself, it would be really great !

Having it in oil form makes it easier to take orally.In the 70's there was lots of oil around,it was a bit thicker then and we called it hash oil and we smoked it then.Apparently there's something about the process of burning it which increases the effect hence making it more efficient though it may also make getting lung cancer more efficient,although my cousin died of lung cancer at the age of 41 and she never smoked anything.

 

Heating marijuana or hash oil causes a chemical reaction called decarboxylation.   This reaction activates the THC and also activates any other cannabinoids that are present.  

Think of it as cooking meat which causes chemical reactions in the meat that break down proteins and help to release flavours and make the meat easier to eat and digest.

I only tried it one time, in the early 1970s.  I had had a lot of experiences with drugs in those days, but had never see "has oil" before. I was trying to impress people with my vast experiences. Took a hit. Fell on the bed, missed Christmas dinner.  Spent most of the evening spinning around in that alcoholic way, but with a psychedelic twist.  Yuck!  

Hey Rexall yeah some don’t enjoy pot and you can see several one tracked comments  here who only comment on the euphoria side of the plant yet seem to ignore the many industrial products that would replace many toxic products which would lead to a healthier planet and people even people that are against it would benefit!

the US government has a patent on CBD... but this is against the interests of big pharma

 

we don't have to say CURE but if you can MANAGE pain with something natural instead of chemical addictive pain pills...

True, but so are video games and exercise.  Anything if done habitually will become habit-forming.  If taken to extremes, you become one-sided and your life is less rich.  But there is nothing unique about pot in this respect that I know of.  Yes it messes with your mind too, which is an extra challenge, but overall this is not a big concern according to most experts.

Strange isn’t it Sean that the human brain has specific receptors for these cannabiniods!

Considering the very bad quality of what you (not me hm ????) find everywhere in Thailand, the bad compressed full of chemicals...

It would be a great news to be able to grow your (no no, not me i swear ????) own product, you would have access to a clean product that way (and only that way, no pharmaceutical extract, this millenaire plant has many components acting in synergy, not just THC or CDB).

 

For "those" talking about addiction, well let's start with booze and sleeping-anxiety pills... All legal. Most of all very addictive. Wikipedia has a good page about that, including social dangerosity.

That said i am not one to critic those who need booze or pills. I just know ganja is WAY less dangerous and much better for health. Looks like medecine finally has agreed after so many year of prohibition (still existing), thanks to the USA.

I like your whole story but why did you have to say thanks to the USA at the end , that makes your whole reply sink down the drain .

It’s a safe and effective treatment, not a cure for most diseases. It has cured prostate cancer and will cure skin cancer if applied to the skin however. 
 

A few seconds of searching will show you all the studies that have proven it to be an effective treatment. Sometimes, it’s the best or only treatment.

Hmm, something that is not physically addictive but induces 'mental' addiction to a certain lifestyle....

Well put, but one thought... isn't that pretty much a description of alcohol?
