Glad the title was catchy enough to entrap whoever was currently surfing! Alright; I'm a high school student working on an MIS (Major Independant Study) based on the medicinal values of marijuana. I have a questionnaire for anyone to fill out so that I can get some accurate results on whether marijuana (previously advertised as a rape drug, the cause of gang wars, teen pregnancy, etc) helps people or not; I need a lot of people (so far I have 12) and the results are very promising so far. I'd very much appreciate anyone helping me out and, if you want me to, I can post the results after I've finished compiling everything.



1. Are you male or female?
male
2. What is your age range (10-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, etc)?
10-19
3. Have you ever smoked or consumed marijauana directly?
hell yes.
4. Have you ever felt any adverse effects (nausea, dizziness, vomitting, headache, etc?
the very first time, i felt all of those.
5. If not, what sort of effects did you encounter? How long did they last?
one way to explain it, it was like a wheel of fortune was spinning around in my head.
6. If you have discovered adverse effects (nausea, dizziness, vomitting, headache, etc) after inhaling or consuming marijuana directly, do you think the effects may have been the reult of taking another drug before using marijuana, such as a painkiller, an alcoholic beverage or some other kind of medication?
i drank some alcohol, could have been vertigo?
7. Do you use marijuana for medicinal or recreational purposes?
medicinal
8. Does your consumption of marijuana interfere with any of your activities (job or school)?
does my paycheck count for job?
9. If you use marijuana for medicinal purposes, do you suffer from a disease such as AIDS, cancer, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, etc?
no.
10. If you suffer from a disease that isn't one of tha above, which disease is it? How does the inhalation and/or consumption of marijuana help you?
i suffer from introspective excretion, it's a fake disease, and if i don't have my marijuana i could lose my mind, or get serious migraines.
[b]11. Are you able to buy your marijuana from a deisgnated grower, or do you buy your marijuana from an illegal source? Why?[b/]
i buy it illegally, of course. why? because i don't grow my own.
12. Have you ever tried marijuana issued by the government? If not, why? If so, what is your opinion of it- price, quality, accessibility, etc?
you mean crack? no.
13. What is your opinion about the accessibility of marijuana? Do you believe marijuana is a gateway drug? Explain. Do you have any other comments?
as of right now, it's not accessible to me. i do believe it's a gateway drug, because it's one of the most harmless "drugs" and once used the person becomes curious about other drugs, assuming that they, too, are harmless...unless of course they are educated on the matter, which i wasn't

[MyAntiDrugIsAmy]

1. Are you male or female? female
2. What is your age range (10-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, etc)? 18 (maybe 10-19 is a little vague, 16-19 is better, i think that the majority of the 10-19 is over 16 and it may be an innacurate account for the age group...
3. Have you ever smoked or consumed marijauana directly? yes
4. Have you ever felt any adverse effects (nausea, dizziness, vomitting, headache, etc? yes
5. If not, what sort of effects did you encounter? How long did they last? i don't know what you mean
6. If you have discovered adverse effects (nausea, dizziness, vomitting, headache, etc) after inhaling or consuming marijuana directly, do you think the effects may have been the reult of taking another drug before using marijuana, such as a painkiller, an alcoholic beverage or some other kind of medication? dizziness was from alcohol, headache was from shitty regs, nausea was only once from pulling through on a bong hit and the resin hit the back of my throat
7. Do you use marijuana for medicinal or recreational purposes? both
8. Does your consumption of marijuana interfere with any of your activities (job or school)? no
9. If you use marijuana for medicinal purposes, do you suffer from a disease such as AIDS, cancer, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, etc? no
10. If you suffer from a disease that isn't one of tha above, which disease is it? How does the inhalation and/or consumption of marijuana help you? when i'm sober i have some sort of stomach problem where i rarely feel hungry and can't eat, or if i do, i get nauseus and can't keep it down. so marijuana regulates my eating a lot of times.
11. Are you able to buy your marijuana from a deisgnated grower, or do you buy your marijuana from an illegal source? Why? no grower, because i don't know anyone that grows, and i can't grow in my house
12. Have you ever tried marijuana issued by the government? If not, why? If so, what is your opinion of it- price, quality, accessibility, etc? no
13. What is your opinion about the accessibility of marijuana? Do you believe marijuana is a gateway drug? Explain. Do you have any other comments? no, it's not a gateway drug. i don't do other drugs, and a lot of my friends don't either. i know a lot of people who haven't done other drugs and they've been smoking for 20+ years...

HELL -- A report released Monday by the Afterlife Civil Liberties
Union indicates that nine out of 10 souls currently serving in Hell
were condemned on drug-related sins.

"Hell was created to keep dangerous sinners off the gold-paved
streets of Heaven," ACLU spokesman Barry Horowitz said. "But lately,
it's become a clearing-house for the non-evil souls that Heaven
doesn't know how to deal with."

The disproportionate number of drug offenders in Hell is a result of
God's "get tough" drug policy of the 80s A.D., imposed after Roman
emperor Domitian Flavius introduced opium to his people. God's
detractors say His reactionary "one sin and you're out" rule places
too harsh a penalty on venial drug users.

According to God's law, souls who possess four ounces of illegal
drugs at any point during their mortal lives face a mandatory minimum
sentence of eternity.

High-ranking seraphim in the Eternal Justice Department defended God's law.

"It's all about accountability," the angel Nathanael said. "The rule
of the Lord affords the complementary blessings of freedom and
responsibility, and provides the governing framework under which man
is punished or rewarded according to his deeds. The rules are very
simple: You do the crime, you do the time. Eternity, in this case."

The ACLU report included profiles of hundreds of offenders condemned
to eternal perdition under God's law. Among them is Pvt. Robert
"Bobby Joe" Hetfield, a World War I fighter and amputee who became
addicted to morphine during his last 72 hours of life on a French
battlefield in 1918. As punishment, Hetfield has spent nearly a
century cleaning Beelzebub's dope house every morning by consuming
the urine, excrement, and vomit left by Satan and his revelers.

Another offender listed in the ACLU report is Huachuri, an Incan
peasant who used a coca-leaf-based marital aid in 1311. As
punishment, he is sodomized continually by a winged, razor-penised goat.

Defenders of God's law argue that eternal punishments like these are
the only way to deter other drug users, and preserve order in God's kingdom.

"This is not about revolving-door justice," St. Peter said. "While
the word of God will keep some on the straight and narrow, Heavenly
studies show that eternal damnation is the only deterrent that really works."

Horowitz said that while drug offenders are literally rotting away in
Hell, serial killers and other dangerous sinners are receiving "mere
Purgatorial sentences, thanks to the asking-for-forgiveness
loophole." Purgatory is a minimum-security state of limbo that
affords its occupants the opportunity to repent their sins and
eventually gain admittance to Heaven on good behavior.

"Drug offenders, many of whom have committed no prior mortal sin,
rack up infinite consecutive life sentences," Horowitz said.
"Meanwhile, rapists say they're sorry, recite a few Hail Marys, and
wind up basking in God's divine radiance within 10 years."

Among those who oppose God's laws are the stewards of Hell, who argue
that his harsh anti-drug penalties have taxed the capacities of the underworld.

"I have one ravenous and overworked hellhound assigned to terrorize
12 methamphetamine users," the demon Abracax said. "After 14 hours in
the dog's digestive tract, they are excreted and revived, at which
point, I give them another shot of methamphetamine. The dog's
exhausted--he was originally intended to be responsible for two users at most."

According to Horowitz, even leaving aside questions of civil
liberties in the afterlife, God's drug laws are problematic.

"These laws, simply put, don't work," Horowitz said. "What the
Heavenly hosts need to consider is some sort of angelic
early-intervention program at the pre-death level, or at the very
least, some form of afterlife rehab."

1. male
2. 20-29
3. yes
4. yes nausea, dizziness, vomitting, headache, etc
5. euphoria, giggles, relaxedness, hornyness, deeper appreiciation of music and films, munchies, slight hallucination(vibration colours flashing light when i shut my eyes), wild fantasizing and extreme contemplation. effects last until 3 or 4 hours after last smoke.
6. adverse effects only occur if i have consumed alcohol BEFORE smoking.
7. recreational
8. no
9. N/A
10. N/A
11. illegal source Why? because its illegal
12. no
13. I don't believe marijuana is a gateway drug. It may be the first controlled substance most people try but more people try the legal drugs alcohol/tobocco before cannabis so they could also be classed as gateway drug. It is human nature to get intoxicated and some people will want to experiment more than others anyway. addiction to drugs is not necessarily the users main problem it may be a symptom or coping strategey for a larger problem (mental or emotional issue/instability). Cannabis should be legalized. The uk crime survey just released show that since cannabis was downgraded from a class B to class C substance (effectively making posession a non arrestable offence) there has been a 1% drop in people using the drug. surely a case for legalization.

I wouldn't say it's Satan's smoke or God's gift. It is a natural product of evolution.

1. Male
2. 20-29 (more specifically, 20)
3. Yes
4. No.
5. None.
6. N/A
7. Recreational, but I occasionally use it to reduce nausea and increase appetite when I'm sick.
8. No. I find I can do anything high just as well as I can do it sober.
9. N/A
10. N/A
11. I am forced to acquire it illegally, since medical marijuana is not legal in my state.
12. No. I've never come across it, again because medical marijuana is illegal in my state.
13. No. If any drugs are going to be called a "gateway drug", it should be alcohol and tobacco, the first drugs used by almost everybody in almost every instance. If marijuana does introduce people to illegal drugs, it's only because marijuana users are forced to go to illegal sources, who are the same people who dispense hard drugs.

"People have a right to control their bodies. To control what goes into their bodies. To control their minds ultimately, 'cause that's what you're talking about if you're talking about psychoactive drugs. You're talking about controlling the contents of your mind, what goes on inside your brain. That's a pretty basic right, you would think." —Jacob Sullum
