I will guarantee it....unless you're some dumb ass kid who thinks printing out posts from this message board is what i meant by pro pot lit.)


The UCLA just released an EXTENSIVE study that PROVED that even the heaviest marijuana smokers are not at an elevated risk for developing lung cancer. That's pretty god damn convincing in my opinion, seeing as how its one of the top 5 schools in North America.

It NEVER hurts to try....but like it says in someones signature...."The only thing evil needs to triumph is for good to sit by and do nothing!" which is very true.

So PLEASE, get a clue and think before you post from now on.
Crema, I gotta tell you, you're getting on my last nerve. Your tone on these posts and the way you've reacted to some of these folks who've been on here a lot longer than you shows that you do indeed have extreme reactions. You need to chill, show some respect, and perhaps not be so quick to tell others how they ought to react. And before you tell me to go jump in a lake, young man, watch your step. I'm one heck of a lot older, smarter, and better educated than you, and I'm one of the folks around here who's working hard at improving the level of discourse, maturity and intelligence on these boards.

Things can be changed. They can be changed with intelligent, rational persuasion. And when kids move out of their parents' house, they can also make lots of those changes. Till then, even when they pay rent, they generally have to abide by the rules of the house. I'm a mom in my mid-40s and am cool about grass, but not all parents are like that, as you know. Most of them are just reacting out of fear. They buy into all the "gateway" stuff because they don't know any better. Later when you get to be a parent, you'll probably have a better understanding of their perspective. Frankly, for some kids with strong addiction genes, it very likely IS a gateway drug. They can't become addicted to MJ itself, but they can use it on their way to stuff that's much more destructive.

By the way, that UCLA study wasn't all that extensive. It was indeed a study that seemed to reveal no link between MJ use and lung cancer. But in order to establish that as fact, they'd have to do a long-term study over decades, which wasn't what that was. I'm going to do a search at the medical library over the weekend to see what I can find on it to post here. And by the way, UCLA is a fairly good school. But it's not generally listed among the top 5 in academic or scientific rankings.
