you learned this in biology? damn, im majoring in biology, i hope they tell me this..


coming from someone who smokes weed, ill tell you that it does not make you depressed, however if you are already depressed, it wont help you very much unless you completely forget why you're depressed.

Not true. You can't overdose on it. It's physically impossible. You are also WAY less likely to develop a cancer from it, because the substances in pot actually encourage aging cells to die faster, whereas tobacco prevents them, thus causing a tumour. It is infinitely better for you than cigarettes or alcohol.

if you smoke 800 joints you can die, from carbon monoxide.... lolz
but i dont want it to be legalized because it will be harder to get for the younger people to get like cigarettes or beer or anything and probably wouldnt be as good as the shit now.
and there would be a tax

Thats the issue, unlike beer (fermentation, flavoring ect) which takes lots of effort and skill, almost anyone can grow their own marijuana, eliminating the tax revenue

 

[btyczki21]

why do most people think that if its legalized only the government would control the distribution? since everybody thinks it would be regulated the same way as alcohol and tobacco wouldnt there be marijuana company's? it would still be available at the average THC levels by one company, while a different company grows lower end and cheaper bud.

I heard you can die if you smoke an impossible amount in very little time, lol.

 

[humpurple kushiones]

marijuana would be legal to grow in small amounts, and larger amounts with permits, so it would make weed cheap.

I heard you can die if you smoke an impossible amount in very little time, lol.

yea and you would end up dying because you arent inhaling oxygen.

Everryone saying that it's less dangerous than alcohol or tobacco is obviously right, but think about this: There's absolutely no way that if those two substances were just introduced, that the government would have legalized them. But once they legalize it, they can't really take it away again. That's what they're scared of with pot (which is stupid).


This. I've seen cops blazing on their breaks lmao.
Obviously it's still illegal here but the most I've ever seen a cop do is confiscate. They don't give tickets or anything.
Even when they come to the skateparks that reek of weed 24/7, they're only there for helmet checks haha.

this is false. its not like weed just popped up last year. people have been smoking marijuana just as long if not longer than people have been drinking and using tobacco. and ever heard of a little thing called prohibition?

 

[humpurple kushiones]

...

it would probably be the carbon monoxide replacing too much oxygen in the blood because theres no new oxygen being introduced..

the number is impossible to tell, but all of those posts contained at least some truth.

 

[Bear Grylls]

I posted it in the cannabis thread how many joints you would have to smoke to die

Then that just means companies would have to make the most amazing weed in the world for it to be worth it.


Sounds good to me!

I never even said weed just popped up last year. I'm saying that with all this new knowledge about chemicals and how they affect the human body, if alcohol were to just be introduced, there is absolutely no way they would legalize it. Pot on the other hand, if it were just discovered, it would be more than likely that they legalize it. One of the main reasons they don't is because it's just been illegal for so long that it would require effort to change the legal status of it. And it really doesn't seem like the government likes effort.

Marijuana can do things to you psychologically and certainly isn't for everyone. People with a history of mental disorders should be careful.

But, the exact same thing can be said about alcohol, if not more so.

You cannot overdose on marijuana. Every year, there are about 30 deaths indirectly attributed to marijuana, but most of those people also were drinking. And driving.

Also, weed is certainly not easy to grow.

 

[TheLewisArsenault]

weed isnt 100% safe, if you have existing mental problems, it can mess with brain chemicals which can make it worse at times but no way to tell if you are safe from it but it wont kill you. its not legal for the reason that pharmaceutical companies cannot patent and profit from it so its not considered as a viable medicine. the way Canada works with weed is the best way, you can pretty much smoke it in public and they only go looking for big time dealers leaving others safe to use at their own risk

I wouldn't really say that, if they find it on you and you have less then a dub(two grams), you get it confiscated, if you have more you get a $50 fine and confiscation. I've been pulled over while high and the cops didn't care, they knew I was stoned because I was tripping out from the lights, so it depends where you live in Canada and how chill the cops want to be.

Now, my input on the topic, I believe it should be legalized, it would save governments so much more money since they dont need to be paying DEA and cops to look for and arrest people with marijuana, and jails/pens wouldnt be filling up as much. Also, I tore my ACL, and trust me, that causes a TON of pain in your knee, because cartaledge is being pushed out the sockets more and all this other crazy crap, if I smoke a bowl before I ride, i dont even feel it, so i think they can atleast make it more wide-spread with the medical prescriptions of it.
