The Facts

[GHoSToKeR]

The Truth - Stoners are unhealthy, unsafe, "skeazy" looking, friendless, anxious, depressed, paranoid, always getting in trouble, have no future and are "funding some very bad people". (http://www.freevibe.com/Drug_Facts/rightangle.asp)

Now I feel bad.. I think i'm just gonna quit smoking weed altogether!

:rolleyes:

[F L E S H]

Hey, I don't think what we do is the healthiest thing ever, but I'd rather smoke some weed than be the fat kid stuffing his face with junk food all day long... Why don't these people use their time to fight something worthwhile, like childhood obesity?

[likemclever]

Actually when I smokeâ?¦..about an hour laterâ?¦.I feel like a fat kid stuffing my faceâ?¦

[hipEstoner]

^^ good point, fat people are 100% more likely to die from obesity than weed, duh,, obesity is almost the number 1 cause of death in america,, and i know how to make it stop,. giva free crack to fat people, and put thye in a big rat cage with a spinning wheel

sorry if i offended ne fat people but do yourselves a favor and lose the fucking weight, you will live a happier and healthier life,

[zarathustra]

I'd never heard stoner spare before.

Thay must be talking to some dumb ass stoners to get their slang.

What is the etymology of "pot," byt he way?

[likemclever]

etymology is like the historical devlopment of language.

but I havn't read the part that you are refering to so I can't say for sure.

[mrdevious]

What the hell is with this sudden claim everybody's using that marijuana will make you agressive and violent? I mean how the fuck do they even back that up, that makes as much sense as saying alchohol improves motor function.

[Takingsunday21]

i love pot

[NowhereMan]

funding some bad people

[kuulbns]

Skeazy looking? lmao Now that is profiling!! :D

[Euphoric]

Yeah. Non-stoners are definately not fun to look at. How are we the fugly ones?! Ever tune in to those evangelists on the christian stations on TV? You know how much make up they need to appear human?! Damn. Now i need a joint.

[Canadabis]

I have to give a little credit to the skeezyness.
Alot of stoners out there look pretty bleak, though alot of "normal" people out there look pretty bleak too...

[Euphoric]

[Garden Knowm]

I'm followiing you!

"also causes changes in the brain similar to those caused by long-term use of cocaine and heroin." Grr

[Ganj]

that is the most absurd thing i've ever read...ever!
it says that marijuana contains the same cancer causing ingredients that cigarettes contain, and at higher concetrations, but yet it states that smoke five joints a week is equivalent to smoking a pack of cigarettes a day. if your a cigarette smoker, then your already thinking, "wow, marijuana is a lot more healthier than cigarettes", who the hell smokes five cigarettes a week??? unless your trying to cut back or something.

[Ganj]

it can make you look like a grit-ball
i've seen a lot of pictures on this board, and i can assure you that a good 75% percent of the ones posted are not that of a "skeazy" appearance. "stoner's spare"? they must be getting information from some stupid ass kids who don't smoke marijuana and just make a stereotype to fit accordingly to a pothead. sorry, but i'm pretty sure there is nothing on my body that can even closely resemble a "spare tire", metaphorically speaking.

it's unsafe
no more unsafe than skateboarding, or any other extreme sport for that matter - which they seem to be promoting. no more unsafe than getting in your car and driving around, regardless if your high or not. hell, i consider guns more safe than anything, atleast they have a button guaranteeing your protection, in more ways than one. nothing in this world is entirely safe. it's all pre-destined anyway.

you'll lose the good friends you have - and make that are not so good for you
surely, everyone in school went through changes. i went from playing card games with friends to smoking dope the following year. i made my choices, but none that can't be fixed with a little thought. just because your friends do bad things doesn't mean they don't care about your well-being. good friends are dependent on personalities, drugs involved or not. i lost trust with my family not because i was smoking pot, but rather because i was a thief. marijuana has never made my choices for me, therefore i see no reason why anyone could blame it for problems they've had. to be honest with you, i think the information they get this from is from 'recovered' potheads, just feeding them some bullshit so that they seem 'cured'.

it can make you feel worse, not better
"Smoking dope can lead to anxiety, panic attacks, depression, and paranoia-and those problems don't improve over time. "
sure it can! a good nights sleep can rid you of all those problems.

it'll get you in trouble
according to the national household of cody's head, i'd say the news and videogames have been more to blame for violent acts among teenagers than marijuana. how many potheads do you see out there robbing banks and killing people?! we're the most un-motivated people, and humble at that. the government needs to stop trying to cover up their number one selling drug; crack.

it channels money to some very bad people
who? the guy down the street growing it? i thought he was just trying to raise money to get himself a car. uh oh, he must be running a drug cartel.

[3 Sheets To The Wind]

Didn't you know "drug" money goes to terrorists? :eek:

It says that on a different "facts" site haha

[Euphoric]

[Funkamander]

The word "pot" comes from "potigaya", the Spanish word for nice ripe bud.
