Cool article. Good post.

[Myth1184]

there needs to be a Facts and Myths of Facts/Myths about Marijuana. Most of those are wrong..or twist of truths.

Like below...
__
Fact: Most people who smoke marijuana smoke it only occasionally. A small minority of Americans - less than 1 percent - smoke marijuana on a daily basis. An even smaller minority develop a dependence on marijuana. Some people who smoke marijuana heavily and frequently stop without difficulty. Others seek help from drug treatment professionals. Marijuana does not cause physical dependence. If people experience withdrawal symptoms at all, they are remarkably mild.

I guarantee you more than 1% of the US Pot Smokers smoke on a daily basis. My first job was at a gas station, and we would go thru boxes and boxes of Cigars in a day....Thugs smoke on a daily basis.

Myth: Marijuana Kills Brain Cells. Used over time, marijuana permanently alters brain structure and function, causing memory loss, cognitive impairment, personality deterioration, and reduced productivity.

This one gets to me, cause its twist the facts....Marijuana itself doesnt kill the brain cells, but the act of holding your breath to hold in the smoke does...Marijuana DOES EFFECT MEMORY.

Just by looking at the webpage, basicllys its a Pro Pot website, where they post all the INformation that degrades pot as a Myth, and everything that supports it as Fact.

Thanks Myth for making that post
cuz i've had that on my mind for some time
like these people are consumers of dope probably
so they could be lying themselves about the facts
not only the myths and whatnot...

Please post me an article that tells me that holding your breath causes memory loss...because I hold my breath lots of times in the day. This one time this lady I worked with farted when we were sitting down and I held my breath for like a minute until the smell went away...but I can still remember everything just fine. It's not saying that marijuana doesn't do any of that, as it apparently does..It's saying that marijuana just doesn't kill brain cells. And just because you had thugs buying cigars from your store doesn't mean that everyone in America who smokes marijuana consumes it regularly..do you know how many people in America like don't even smoke at all? A shitload. And just curious, why critisise the people who are proving your lying government wrong constantly?
