Ok, class debate on marijuana. Need help.

[poiuyt]

Find me some interest things that support the legalisation of marijuana and such.

I already have the no recorded OD, and the death by cannabis,alcohol,tobacco thing.

I know some of you are really interested in these things and I know you can help me out here.

Well, it seems to be coming up more and more in election issues. Then there's the legalization of it in certain Euro-located countries/etc.

I can't find you anything right now - but talking from experience...I can easily tell you that alcohol is way more detrimental to your body then greenery.

Oh there's also that study recently on cannabis and Alzheimer's...I think I may have also read something about cannabinoids in relationship to cancer/aids research.

Ah there was something else, but of course I forgot what it was...oh yeah (I totally sat there for a good 2 minutes thinking) - Hemp.

Hemp is one of the worlds most renewable and important resources. It doesn't rape the earth like cotton does, it grows so dense that you hardly need to use pesticides as weeds just get smothered between it, it's WAY healthy for you (check out it's nutritional properties some time) and you can use it in anything from clothes, plastic, paper or more.

I'd personally be totally fine if the US legalized hemp growth wayyyyyy before marijuana use. I feel it's just that important that we move to hemp as a major natural resource.

i just helped a friend out with this earlier today :O maybe it's my calling. there is so much, unfortunately i'm tired so i can't be bothered to do the whole lot but talk about the little people like the traficers getting done over my barans, talk about the quality control that could be exersized as in knowen strength and actually weed not laced with windolene and shit. no pressure from drug dealers to do other stuff, its a very cheap crop and the taxation could be huge while still undercutting street prices considerabley, medicanal use would be much easier to regulate (wouldn't have to be) kids would find it harder to get hold of (i smoked weed when i was twelve and i couldn't have got alcohol then) dunno how old you are but smokeing that young is BAD! theres more i can't rembe i'll post them when i do. good luck

recent studies have shown that "mice forgot their locker combinations" ~ http://www.justthinktwice.com/stumbleweed/just_a_plant_01.htm
so at least we know the world wont be dominated by mutant thinking mice if they continue their thc studies.

How can you expect me to swallow a pill if I cant even keep a small piece of bread down? (aids and cancer patients)

alternatives to smoking, vaporizing.

i heard that THC (the psycho-active ingredient) can actually kill cancer cells before they develop, and something that is ANTI-cancerous must be good, plus, the government hasnt given us one good reason to keep it illegal, they just keep coming back to 'its a very potent dangerous drug' when we all know it aint.. damn i wanna come to that debate lol
