Popular Post jtrump Posted September 1, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 1, 2020 23 hours ago, Patts said: Completely agree, My ex is addicted, claims it helps her control depression but the reality is she's a complete stoner who puts buying cannabis ahead of buying food for her and her children. She can't go through a day without smoking several joints and cannabis has increased her issues with mental/emotional health. 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 might want to recant the statement about no scientific evidence. "However, scientific study of the chemicals in marijuana, called cannabinoids, has led to two FDA-approved medications that contain cannabinoid chemicals in pill form. Continued research may lead to more medications." I watched a video of a man with Parkinson's disease. He could barely make a coherent sentence. After taking an herbal supplement, he could actually talk coherently. Another child had issues with excess stimulation caused seizures many times a day and she couldn't leave the house. After the medicine her seizures reduced to a few a month. Marijuana is cures many ailments but the drug companies will never agree on that. And it does help with depression. The only drawback I see as it makes you have no ambition as you are already happy, why change. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Wow man! Like, far out man! What a great move that’s going to enhance the mental capacity of mankind and might even lower the number of deaths on our highways. And all those dead-heads with the munchies will offset the huge losses we’re seeing in the tourism industry. BRAVO!!! BRAVO!!! ps - Dave’s not here man!

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 Thx Doc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whaleboneman Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 12 hours ago, kiteman9 said: 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. Today's assignment. Please write a 1500 word essay about the benefits of marijuana and why it should be legalized. You can refer to Mr. Kiteman's excellent essay as an example.

That was the point.” Barack Obama. “I think pot should be legal. I don’t smoke it, but I like the smell of it.” Andy Warhol “Herb is the healing of a nation; alcohol is the destruction.” Bob Marley “Marijuana is a useful catalyst for specific optical and aural aesthetic perceptions. I apprehended the structure of certain pieces of jazz and classical music in a new manner under the influence of marijuana, and these apprehensions have remained valid in years of normal consciousness.” Allen Ginsberg “Alcohol and marijuana, if used in moderation, plus loud, usually low-class music, make stress and boredom infinitely more bearable.” Kurt Vonnegut “If everyone smoked weed, the world would be a better place.” Kirsten Dunst “Even if one takes every reefer madness allegation of the prohibitionists at face value, marijuana prohibition has done far more harm to far more people than marijuana ever could.” William F. Buckley Jr. “The biggest killer on the planet is stress, and I still think the best medicine is and always has been cannabis.” Willie Nelson “It really puzzles me to see marijuana connected with narcotics… dope and all that <deleted>. It’s a thousand times better than whiskey—it’s an assistant—a friend.” Louis Armstrong “Is marijuana addictive? Yes, in the sense that most of the really pleasant things in life are worth endlessly repeating.” Richard Neville “I have always loved marijuana. It has been a source of joy and comfort to me for many years. And I still think of it as a basic staple of life, along with beer and ice and grapefruits -and millions of Americans agree with me.” Hunter S. Thompson “One’s condition on marijuana is always existential. One can feel the importance of each moment and how it is changing one. One feels one’s being, one becomes aware of the enormous apparatus of nothingness—the hum of a hi-fi set, the emptiness of a pointless interruption, one becomes aware of the war between each of us, how the nothingness in each of us seeks to attack the being of others, how our being in turn is attacked by the nothingness in others.” Norman Mailer “It makes you forget all the bad things that happen to a Negro. It makes you feel wanted, and when you’re with another tea smoker, it makes you feel a special kinship.” Louis Armstrong “I hope they legalize marijuana and when they do, I’ll be the first <deleted> person in line to buy my pack of joints.” Megan Fox “Marijuana enhances our mind in a way that enables us to take a different perspective from ‘high up,’ to see and evaluate our own lives and the lives of others in a privileged way. Maybe this euphoric and elevating feeling of the ability to step outside the box and to look at life’s patterns from this high perspective is the inspiration behind the slang term ‘high’ itself.” Sebastian Marincolo “Stop killing each other man. Let’s just smoke a blunt.” Tupac “I smoke a lot of pot when I write music.” Lady Gaga “Marijuana was the main thing that promoted non-violence amongst the youth because as soon as they have it, first of all, you have to laugh at your first experiences. There’s nothing else you do but laugh, and then, when you’ve got over that and you realize that people aren’t laughing at you, but with you, it’s a community thing, and nothing would ever stop it, nothing on earth is going to stop it, and the only thing to do is to find out how to use it for good, or for best.” John Lennon “I find it quite ironic that the most dangerous thing about weed is getting caught with it.” Bill Murray “The illegality of cannabis is outrageous, an impediment to the full utilization of a drug which helps produce the serenity and insight, sensitivity, and fellowship, so desperately needed in this increasingly mad and dangerous world.” Carl Sagan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
