WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The marijuana being sold across the United States is stronger than ever, which could explain a growing number of medical emergencies that involve the drug, government drug experts on Wednesday.
w00t w00t !

" which could explain a growing number of medical emergencies that involve the drug, government drug experts on Wednesday."
Yet they give no examples of these supposed "medical emergencies". I fuckin hate how the government can only come up with the "... well.... just because." answers.
Other than that, it sounds like good news to me. :thumbsup:
Medical emergencies? WTF? Cottonmouth?
severe case of the munchies
Maybe someone went to the hospital stoned as hell and made the staff think they had an eye infection...
Haha medical emergencies? our government is so retarded, in my opinion there isnt any reason mj shouldnt be legal.
its not funny how they keep saying that its getting stronger, its actually a very serious matter, not because its true, but because in uk every paper in the last month or so has managed to mention how even stronger cannabis (than in the 60s) is on the streets today (they call it skunk) which is making us all crazy and is as dangerous as coke and meth.
seriously it has gotten to the point where one asshole wrote a newspaper article saying
"cannabis so potent that just one puff can cause schizophrenia is being grown in Merseyside" -Ben Rossington, Liverpool Echo
i mean to us its pure bullshit and you know just not logical sounding, but to those poeple that think weed is the devil, its even more reason to think so, and we need them to stop thinking so and then maybe some day when that fuckin happens we will be able to smoke in peace...
Medical emergencies does happen but they never say for what. I can take a guess and I bet it's correct. Just newbs smokin on marijuana that is even stronger than before and they told their parents or told some one and panicking and on top of that completely stoned out of their minds. It won't seem like non-serious(lol) situation until they get checked out when they get to the hospital and only tested positive for THC. I said that because I have actually heard of people that got too high and overreacted and called 9-11 or had people around them concerned and got rushed to the hospital. There was even a thread on here a few months ago talking about some cops that ate burger king laced with weed and got rushed to the hospital because they didn't know what was going on lol!
They just want to make weed seem just as dangerous as a cocaine overdose or something, they aren't fooling anyone. It's suppose to be more potent :).
I don't get how people are using this as an anti-marijuana argument. :confused:
More THC means you don't need to smoke as much, which potentially lessens the dangers of smoking... I would think.
just wait till that whole generation of weed haters passes away, there will be a weed revolution
Yeah that is true, but there's some people that like to smoke a lot even though it is really potent. I dunno, I just enjoy tokin the bud over and over again even if I'm high, it's just soothing :).Quote:

medical emergencies...bah.
its just ppl who cant handle the herb that trip out and think they're gonna die for some reason.
more potent :) weee. Thats the only part of that link I liked.. MORE P-O-T-E-N-T!!!! :).. and the "medical emergenicies" part can go fuck itself because no one actually dies... its just ppl who get freaked out and call the hospotal etc. and think they are dieing really when they just have a huge case of the paranoia monster. Anyways time to go hit the vape. Happy toking everybody
I must express my sincere appreciation to all of the Breeders out there for your progress. Keep up the good work.
NORML Responds To White House's 'Potent Pot' Scare Campaign - NORML
here's norml's response to this...:)
Yeah!! about time somebody made that clear i actually thout there where that many idiots thinking they are addicted...Quote:
The overwhelming majority of young people in the US referred to 'treatment' for marijuana are there because they violated state pot laws, not because they or their loved ones believed they were suffering ill effects from cannabis," he said. "In reality, this surge in treatment admissions is an outgrowth of enhanced marijuana law enforcement, not enhanced marijuana potency."
But now i get it, like thye get arrested and plead guilty and are given a chance and are sent to the rehab place, hahah!! thats jokes...
and then the way they twist the statistics grr.. :mad:
it doesnt mention that over the years that the us gov't hasnt actually been consistent in its research over the years. in the earlier years the tested the entire plant. then they started testing leaves and buds. and now they test only the bud in recent years........?!?!?!. of course the weeds gonna get stronger if youre starting to only test the strongest part of the plant as opposed to the entire plant which will yield lower results. RIGHT?
Damn glad to know all my hard works payin off . LOL
Smoke the Funk and not the Junk !!!
Peace

Wow 33.12% THC , I want that as a mother plant lol. That right there is some super bud lol.
The pharmacy department at Mississippi has compiled data on 59,369 samples of cannabis, 1,225 hashish samples, and 443 hash oil samples confiscated since 1975. "The highest concentration of (THC) found in a cannabis (marijuana) sample is 33.12 percent from Oregon State Police," the report reads.

Holy shit, 33%? You'd figure that the trichomes would completely block view of the bud itself unless you cracked it open.Quote:

No, it's not. At all. And the article said nothing about it except this little snippet. What flawless logic from the sober people, I could make a better argument for it not being addictive when I'm high.Quote:
"It clearly is addictive," she said.
This is all just misleading language. On the one hand, yes, it will affect their brain. They will get high. On the other hand, it is still being debated whether or not cannabis helps or hinders childhood development. I believe there are some studies which show that under the right circumstances it can actually _help_ adolescents with things like school work.Quote:
If children and adolescents use marijuana, it could affect their still-developing brains, she said.
It is sad how the goverment still would rather spread propaganda then end this crazy war on are favorite plant. And it sucks at how most of the media acts like there puppets. If the goverment spent all the manpower and resources to actaully wage a war on "real drugs" like crack and herion we would have a much better country. It still boggles my mind that liquor is legal in this country , but cannabis isnt and to top it off its users/growers face prison or jail time everyday for a damn plant.
Complete bullshit. I hate all of these lies. Medical Emergencies? I have never heard of anyone going to the hospital for a weed overdose. And its quite imposible to OD on weed. Unless you smoke half your body weight in one session. And im sick of them calling it a drug. Its just a plant. A harmless plant.
