The good old canabis debate

[KillerOnion]

Hey, all of us are in here because we have at least one addictive habit that involves buying $20 bags of green stuff that makes our hearts race, eyes open wide, has us often dead tired afterwards and with a bit of the munchies, and sometimes leaves us broke.

My first post was actually intended as one of those jokes everyone groans at.. "spelling gone to pot".. geddit... hence the rolled eyes..

Now, I know it was a sh1t joke (end of a long day at work) but I didn't expect you'd take it personal... guess we fired off each other after that.

So I apologise if I caused offensive.

As for pontificate it basically means preach... I think

UK Drug Deaths
(approx. number of deaths in the UK per year)

Tobacco - 120,000

Alcohol - 33,000

Cannabis - Nil

There has NEVER been a recorded death from cannabis,
anywhere in the world, in it's recorded history.

There are too many myths still around about this fantastic weed. Marijuana has many more positive effects, and properties than it has down sides and that is one of the reasons, for the re-classification later this year.

Many more people consume/occasionally take/have tried this herb than you think in the UK alone - It is as easily and readily available as alcohol. Shocking but true

Bad media is the cause of ignorance about the knowledge of Cannabis. For years, authorities across the world phrohibited this historical and useful plant - Banned out of fear and lack of knowledge

"Lies, d@mn lies & statistics"

Don't get me wrong here Pikachu, I'm not averse to the odd smoke of the stuff myself but statistics have been proven (statistically!) to be able to be manipulated to get the answer that's wanted rather than the truth. Did you know, for example, that those "tobacco" deaths include everyone who smokes who died of an illness that can be caused by tobacco? e.g. if a smoker dies of lung cancer it's put as a smoking related death even if it was caused by asbestos; if a smoker who is grossly overweight dies of heart desease it's still automatically included in the smoking related deaths stats. Of course, the last one is ALSO included in the obesity related deaths stats as well!

I'm of the simple view that cannabis only leads to other drugs if you want it to, and is used as an excuse for lack of self control by some people.
I've smoked dope for around 24 years now but never touched any other illegal drug, I drink in moderation & smoke tobacco too much. So how come I've not died from a heroin overdose and am not an alcoholic, hold down a responsible job, have a reasonably good life & have never damaged anyone else's life (to my knowledge)?

BIG UP DA REEFA!

If statistics are wrong, just look at scientific evidence. If you do that and can understand basic good and bad you'll now its all good !

Sigh.....

Why do I still get involved in this thread?

It ain't all good.
True, the health effects of cannabis are next to nothing, but keep in mind that the majority of the people who smoke it, use tobacco to mix it with, and we all know what that can do. Want to keep it 'healthy'? Smoke it pure!
Since it's a state of mind altering drug (one that induces a somewhat euphoric feeling), there is the possibility of mental addiction, but one has to have a propensity for mental addictions (i.e. these people would just as easily get addicted to alcohol, or sleeping pills and painkillers. i know far too many people who suffer from the last two addictions).
But by and large, it's no worse for you than getting wasted on the booze with regularity, so why outlaw the one, and not the other is beyond me.

 

[CROOKED-POPO]

Scientific evidence is only evidence if you do the experiment yourself. If not, you're taking the other guys word for it. Call me faithless. Basically, if you look hard enough, you can usually find at least one study that will support whatever position you want to take on just about any topic. This being the case, what I actually "know" about weed is really the cumulative efforts of people whom I concur with instinctually since I have never tried it myself. My common sense tells me not to breathe smoke of any kind if at all possible because it doesn't seem natural. As to eating weed, hell, I don't "know" that it's bad for you at all. I've never tried it. I just don't see the point, I suppose. I would rather spend my money on other things. However, and I can not say this enough, I still believe that if you want to do it, fine. It's your body.
