I am totally disgusted and don't know what to do
Yesterday our Brit friends were complaing about a bogus news article appearing over there claiming weed causes psychosis. Damned if CNN and Fox didn't pick it up and put it in their fucking headlines. This is total yellow journalism and is reminiscent of the Reefer Madness bullshit 70 years ago. Fox even says maybe they were right. OMG. This is absolute crap. It's taking the whole thing back 70 years. It's unreal. Like a bad dream. That wasn't even a study. Complete speculation and conclusions drawn from lies. And the T.V. news'll probably pick it up now. What can reasonable thinking people do? I can't believe the absolute idiocy of this whole thing.

There could be something else about marijuana users, "like their tendency to use other drugs or certain personality traits, that could be causing the psychoses,"
I think thats the Golden bullet when it comes to the whole "gateway argument"
"About 20 percent of young adults report using it at least once a week" Thats reassuring.
My conclusion is there is such thing as too much of a good thing . Like anything.

Reeder Madness will not go away until it is legalized and people learn to get rid of their ignorance.

You all are biased. All of us know someone who should quit smoking pot, because it can become a problem and denying that it is a problem, if not for you then someone else, only keeps us ignorant. Now I would like to see an article that tells the truth, once in awhile. Marijuana contributes very little to mental dis-ease. Ultimately, the responsibility lies in the user to come back to reality. But just don't sit back and watch. You know someone, give them a little tough love. It'll shape 'em up.

Until I hear stories about people killing others while high on weed, than I will stop.
If you are high and lazy already, than that is your problem really. Sometimes I will be high and lazy because I am naturally lazy, and sometimes I will be very energetic and hyperactive and I enjoy it because I get stuff done.
Weed is not physically addictive, but can be "habit forming". Cigarettes are PHYSICALLY addictive. Alcohol is PHYSICALLY addictive. Cocaine is PHYSICALLY addictive. Heroin is PHYSICALLY addictive.
Look, I have been smoking weed for 8 years and I AM NOT addicted. It is a habit where I smoke a few days a week, but never addicting. Understand that difference.
But you know what, crack kills!
Biased now?? No...we use facts to support our conclusion. Because we have a thing called COMMON SENSE.
If people smoked weed and got violent, I would never touch it. Thats why I don't touch alcohol.
Don't tell me you buy this bullshit as shown below.....

I said it contributes. Maybe I should have said also that many of those diseases are hereditary?

And although I don't buy into all that propaganda, I still give it the credit it deserves. Just as we demand our voice be heard, there are other voices screaming for a change. Those who have seen it first hand. Just as we claim marijuana is capable of expanding the mind, and it's many other uses, including abuse. However, it still remains merely a plant.

You got it, Patrick Henry. And I reserve my own bias for it, because although I'm aware of the detriment marijuana can bring when used irresponsibly first hand, I blame only myself. If I quit someday I will continue to advocate it's usage in a mature, responsible way, because we all know marijuana is all-mighty.

Yes, it is merely a plant. And it is a great medicinal plant.
Like I've said over and over. I resent the fact that the doctors and the drug companies tell me what drugs I need to take. And are they ever low dollar medicines? Of course not! Ezch script is at least $100.00. Now, taking all these medications, they can ruin my liver which in turn every 3 months I need a blood draw (which isn't easy on me, they usually have to use the top of my hand with a butterfly)
See, I go thru all THAT because some asshole moron who think he runs the world decided he doesn't personally like marijuana.
Crap. Look what is happening in Cali and other States where mj is legal. The law is coming down on them and actually busting them and ruining well cared for crops.
They have decided to take their own personal laws in to their own hands.
I hope they do NOT get away with this travesity.:mad:

If you don't want to smoke. Try that new drug called chantix.
It's supposed to be for cigatettes but I can't see it not working on weed to.
The same brain receptors accept both kinds of smoke. So I figure, the chantix would turn a person off to both.

I don't want to quit. I'm just a confrontational person. I know what side I'm fighting for. It's people like you, tootsie who benefit greatly from marijuana and for it's medicinal wonders, it should be legalized. My point is that it can't hurt to know your enemy. That is how we'll overcome marijuana prohibition. On the streets, I stand with my pot flag waving high. Around the boards though, I can play a different role because it's one of my freedoms. And I like to open other doors of perception.

dude....spin?....wtf....I really have no idea what you mean. Granted, I was pretty upset by this bullshit, especially coming the day after a losing vote in Congress and then the DEA dispensary crackdown, but if you're talking about what I wrote, spin certainly wasn't intended.

It was on the bbc news last night, and they showed a mother whos son killed his dad, ok, thats bad, but they dirrectly linked it to weed and the mother was saying its because of "Cannabis skunk", if this isn't a one sided argument that the government is pushing on us I don't know what is.

I'm remaining objective, still smoking until more conclusive evidence arrives.
