Why are drugs bad? Is Marijuana killing me slowly? (whatever goes)

[Severian]

How is this not a wonder drug.....

Because GovCorp Inc. doesn't have complete control of it yet.

When i got my green card, i was able to knock out about 85% of the medications i was using at the time... Would love to see medicine cabinets of the future, instead of having 20 bottles of different pills, you have 1 with thc caps & 1 with bud.... ez as that.

[Taz]

You guys just way over medicate to begin with.
Unless you've got something that will kill you, you can survive without any of it.

Many years ago, when I was about as foolish as I am now, I went to see a doctor because I was stressed out and depressed. I was hoping to get some some type of anti-depressant. He told me to start smoking weed.

Best doctor I ever had. We're still friends to this day.

Some of the things that people believe...are they really that brainwashed/stupid?

Some of you should actually READ the case studies that have been done with marijuana before making yourselves look like imbeciles whose entire knowledge about marijuana came from the "Just Say No" campaign.

Marijuana, when its effects were actually studied in a 10 year case study, has been shown to be GOOD for your lungs:

Oh yeah, and it cures cancer.

[Severian]

you can survive without any of it.

I could survive without music, women and my friends too, but it would make survival kind of dull.

Whenever your health goes to shit, i know that tune of yours will change real quick.

It's a little complicated, but I actually lobby for an oil company. See, if pot-smoking were made legal, so would hemp=growing. Did you know the US is the world's biggest importer of hemp?

The US Government also holds a patent on medical cannabis:

They also hold patents on your DNA.

As for OP, marijuana bad for you? You really should research what they put in your food and water, that shit WILL give you cancer.

There's a lot of people who's pain can be eased by weed no doubt.
What level of pain is grounds for sparking up or popping a few pills though?

With good weed you don't need women, friends or even good music,
just a nice wall to stare at and a few repetitive beats.

[Bitcoin Oz]

Anything can be bad if you overdo it.

Even chastity?

Pedophile catholic priests would say yes.

[Snapman]

I will admit, so many kiddlets abuse the shit outta the medicinal cannabis system just to get high, i saw that shit all the time when going to dispensaries. Same goes with xanax, oxycontin, ambien, so on and so forth.

Fuckheads always have to ruin it for everybody else.

Added: More bullshit from the assholes in suits... http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2012/07/la-ban-on-pot-dispensaries-greeted-with-anger-support.html

This entire state is broke as dick, and they are still shutting down sources of income....

[BurntSnow]

Marijuana might be killing me slowly but so is breathing the air in this shitty gas/chem producing town....


All drugs can be bad for your health but so can cheeseburgers and pancakes if you overdo it....




Marijuana can be used daily without ill affect if you live a healthy life, eating right and exercise.... People are uninformed....

I don't think this has been mentioned yet (then again, I didnt read past the first post) but a single blunt actually has a ton of carcinogens in it. Last I remember, it was something like the equivalent to smoking 3 or 4 cigarettes, and it goes right to your lungs. I'll just stay here. Safe. Behind my wall of LSD.

While true, since there's no evidence of a link between marijuana smoking and any kind of cancer, the presence of the carcinogens is irrelevant. It may be equivalent to 3 or 4 cigarettes in terms of the volume of carcinogens, but carcinogens are not all the same, and it definitely does not have anywhere near the same level of carcinogenic effect on humans as 3 or 4 cigarettes does.

This is not even controversial. For example, see here http://www.drugabuse.gov/publications/drugfacts/marijuana :

Marijuana smokers show dysregulated growth of epithelial cells in their lung tissue, which could lead to cancer; however, a recent case-controlled study found no positive associations between marijuana use and lung, upper respiratory, or upper digestive tract cancers. Thus, the link between marijuana smoking and these cancers remains unsubstantiated at this time.

However, in many areas of the world, pot smokers mix with tobacco and draw much more deeply (although far less frequently) than cigarette smokers. In this case I think it would be likely that getting high could cause cancer.

Yeah a few different types of Cancer.... Cannabinoids have shown to help reduce tumor size... 


The drug companies are not happy with this... How do they make their millions if people can just use Marijuana instead of their drugs?
