I dunno hun but my 3 other voices are arguing right now.....and I think their doing it in Spanish
I've been pissed off since i started smoking it, because this has always been around, and now it's more than ever, and it's more bullshit than ever. Everything these idiots are saying is fabricated crap. People lap it up coz it's there. BUT it's not true. None of it is. Every single little thing they say is complete crap. That's the media for you.
In todays paper they had an article all about phycosis and they said smoking it regular increases chances of cannabis phycosis 200% and then at the end in small they put that it's not a definate link. BUT they make it out that it is, and that's the bit people pay attention too. They only put that on the very end to save themselves. It's all CRAP.
When are we going to loose our temper? Coz im loosing mine now, and i want something done. Like i said before, it's all very well being peaceful about it, but we've been doing that since it was made illegal - it's just not working. Not with people having to read this shit.
light a blunt,sit back n watch the news an laugh at all those cocksuckers that don't know what they're missing...
The media get's it's money from pharmaceutical companies for posting stories llike that. Money talks and everyone listens.
If as much money was put toward the legalization of weed as there is from the pharmaceutical companies to keep it illegal, we would not have these problems.
They can't control it, they do not want it out there.
If it were Mcniel or Glaxo-Smith-Kline growing and supplying the world with weed, it would be legal. That you can count on.
It is just like the oil companies killing the fully electric car, they were threatened and murdered a complete car design that was good for the enviroment and people wanted.
pg 4 of todays times pisses me off.
They say that they've managed to convert many ministers who had a liberal view on it. It's getting to a point where it's complete indiscriminate brainwashing.
It's time to scapegoat another drug to divert attention. We have a serious drug problem in this country but not weed. I know loads of my old mates doing heroin, but not real heroin, chasing the dragon on foil, I have old mates who do crack. Another mate I know is an alcoholic at 16, he drinks everyday.
My god, weed is bad....they're just choking cause nobody's died yet. I think it's to weaken the supporters, but were winning.
Number of cannabis use has fallen since being downgraded, so where's the logic in reclassification.
Sort out the real problem.
Also the majority of experiments done are to try and prove that it's extremely harmful, the only harm is that smoking just is bad for your lungs and also some people with existing mental conditions can and cannot benefit, but they categorize everyone as one type., but they don't mention vaporising on the news now do they?
Yeah but what they don't realise is that reading just one edition of The Daily Mail increases the likelihood of you being out of your fucking mind by about 110%. I'll take the slightly lesser risk, it's more fun anyway.Quote:

Fastspider's right boys and girls, it is all about big pharm and MONEY.
That being said, I believe that if screenwriters took up the cause and showed the reality of marijuana, its mainstream use by responsible citizens, eventually we can get people to learn- for example:
films depicting homosexuality more realistically have helped further the cause of acceptance of gay people and gay marriage, and I think if we want marijuana use to become decriminalized in people's minds, we have to fight against these stereotypes the same way. In the 70's "All in the Family" was groundbreaking comedy exposing all sorts of isms- racism, sexism, etc. We could do the same, with humor, to debunk the myths of reefer madness etc. Now we have some cable shows about pot, but we really need widespread tv and film treatments that show the truth to the deluded masses! We need painters and poets willing to speak clearly. We need to change the perception of a country, and since we are a media obsessed nation, what better way to reach millions? So I say- create! We need a bunch of pot-smoking "Friends" on TV who aren't lazy slackers :stoned: We need "Sex in the City" with a gorgeous bong on the coffee table! We need to show CEOs smoking dank at the end of a very profitable day! I am hoping to develop something along these lines and would welcome any ideas:D
That's such a lie! Most of the stoners I know are very chill, relaxed, and loving people:)
Well lets see. One joint doubles your chance of schizophrenia, 1/3 of Americans have admitted to using cannabis at some point in their lives, and the number is probably larger. That means 100 million people should be at double risk for szhizophrenia. Checking out Schizophrenia.com - Schizophrenia Fact and Schizophrenia Statistics , the following is their explanation, copy/pasted for the cause of schizophrenia.
Today the leading theory of why people get schizophrenia is that it is a result of a genetic predisposition combined with an environmental exposures and / or stresses during pregnancy or childhood that contribute to, or trigger, the disorder.
But more importantly, relevant to the original topic, I took the following from their site:
The Prevalance Rate for schizophrenia is approximately 1.1% of the population over the age of 18 (source: NIMH) or, in other words, at any one time as many as 51 million people worldwide suffer from schizophrenia, including;
6 to 12 million people in China (a rough estimate based on the population)
4.3 to 8.7 million people in India (a rough estimate based on the population)
2.2 million people in USA
285,000 people in Australia
Over 280,000 people in Canada
Over 250,000 diagnosed cases in Britain
So at 2.2 million out of 100 million Americans who have used cannabis, and assuming (to be generous to our prohibitionist friends) every single person with schizophrenia has used cannabis, it would seem the prevelance of schizophrenia among (minimum one-time) cannabis users is approximately 1/50.
Facts don't quite add up do they?
