The World of Cannabis will grow as more information comes out disproving all the "myths" about cannabis.

Marijuana Myth #8. Marijuana is more potent today than in the past

This myth is the result of bad data. The researchers who made the claim of increased potency used as their baseline the THC content of marijuana seized by police in the early 1970s. Poor storage of this marijuana in un-air conditioned evidence rooms caused it to deteriorate and decline in potency before any chemical assay was performed. Contemporaneous, independent assays of unseized "street" marijuana from the early 1970s showed a potency equivalent to that of modern "street" marijuana. Actually, the most potent form of this drug that was generally available was sold legally in the 1920s and 1930s by the pharmaceutical company Smith-Klein under the name, "American Cannabis".

Marijuana Myth #9. Marijuana impairs short-term memory

This is true but misleading. Any impairment of short-term memory disappears when one is no longer under the influence of marijuana. Often, the short-term memory effect is paired with a reference to Dr. Heath's poor rhesus monkeys to imply that the condition is permanent.

Marijuana Myth #10. Marijuana lingers in the body like DDT

This is also true but misleading. Cannabinoids are fat soluble as are innumerable nutrients and, yes, some poisons like DDT. For example, the essential nutrient, Vitamin A, is fat soluble but one never hears people who favor marijuana prohibition making this comparison.

References:

9) See Marijuana and Health, ibid. Also see "Marijuana, Memory, and Perception", ibid.

10) The fat solubility of cannabinoids and certain vitamins is well known. See Marijuana and Health, ibid. For some information on vitamin A, see "The A Team" in Scientific American, Vol 264, No. 2, February 1991, p. 16.
Hemp FACT #23-Marijuana Myths

Date: 95-02-03 13:53:44 EDT

From: ADBryan

Marijuana Myth #11. There are over a thousand chemicals in marijuana smoke

Again, true but misleading. The 31 August 1990 issue of the magazine Science notes that of the over 800 volatile chemicals present in roasted COFFEE, only 21 have actually been tested on animals and 16 of these cause cancer in rodents. Yet, coffee remains legal and is generally considered fairly safe.

Marijuana "Myth"#12. No one has ever died of a marijuana overdose

This is true. It was put in to see if you are paying attention. Animal tests have revealed that extremely high doses of cannabinoids are needed to have lethal effect. This has led scientists to conclude that the ratio of the amount of cannabinoids necessary to get a person intoxicated (i.e., stoned) relative to the amount necessary to kill them is 1 to 40,000. In other words, to overdose, you would have to consume 40,000 times as much marijuana as you needed to get stoned. In contrast, the ratio for alcohol varies between 1 to 4 and 1 to 10. It is easy to see how upwards of 5000 people die from alcohol overdoses every year and no one EVER dies of marijuana overdoses.

References:

11) See "Too Many Rodent Carcinogens: Mitogenesis Increases Mutagenesis", Bruce N. Ames and Lois Swirsky Gold, Science, Vol 249, 31 August 1990, p. 971.

12) Cannabis and alcohol toxicity is compared in Marijuana Reconsidered, ibid., p. 227. Yearly alcohol overdoses was taken from "Drug Prohibition in the United States: Costs, Consequences, and Alternatives" by Ethan A. Nadelmann, Science, Vol 245, 1 September 1989, p. 943.

Again, can somebody tells me if it's possible??? Would apreciate a reply from moderators...Thanks!

[420kidder]

I think it's a good idea. Basically you're saying because of the popularity of the website and number of visitors, something more can be done with this website. I agree and would love to give the opposers a run for their money.

Well, yeah it's possible.

But I don't think it'll happen.

There are a lot of people here that want to stay anonymous.

If Cannabis.com where to become a legal entity, it would be liable to the Feds' rules... and that can include, having to hand over to the Feds a list of all the IP addresses that use/vivist this site.

YIKES!

Nice idea, anyways

Sorry Have to Jump In Here:
Are you saying your website is better? and going to give the "opposers" cannabis.com a run for their money?
Going around emailing members you don't even know to become mods on your site?
http://boards.cannabis.com/showthread.php?t=42365
Then giving these members permission to view members ips, ect. (when you have no clue as who they are)
Asking for donations to unlock additions on your site, when you have 14 members? ...now thats some funny shit.

GOOD LUCK KID

I did a search on your post here, man you have no clue.

Ron is the owner of this site and many others. Only he can answer your question dude. Mods don't have those type of answers, were just members trying to make a difference is all. No pay, no nothing at all.
