I would not be surprised if you've never smoked it. You ain't got a clue.
I have read scientific studies that say marijuana leads to permanent dementia.
Yes I have never smoked.
Maybe you sold them to raise money to buy some more weed, but you?re short term memory is too addled for you to remember doing itOriginally posted by: werk

Marijuana is the most frequently used illegal drug in the United States. Nearly 69 million Americans over the age of 12 have tried marijuana at least once.
In studies involving patients with AIDS and/or cancer, Marinol (dronabinol) has been co-administered with a variety of medications (e.g., cytotoxic agents, anti-infective agents, sedatives, or opioid analgesics) without resulting in any clinically significant drug/drug interactions. Although no drug/drug interactions were discovered during the clinical trials of Marinol, cannabinoids may interact with other medications through both metabolic and pharmacodynamic mechanisms. Dronabinol is highly protein bound to plasma proteins, and therefore, might displace other protein-bound drugs. Although this displacement has not been confirmed in vivo, practitioners should monitor patients for a change in dosage requirements when administering dronabinol to patients receiving other highly protein-bound drugs. Published reports of drug/drug interactions involving cannabinoids are summarized in the following table.
A major goverment is saying it. This is hard proof.

From the Australian goverment. It says paranoia and psychosis, but those are both forms of dementia.
"Heavy use may cause hallucinations
Other possible effects, which are more common with heavy cannabis use, include:
Paranoia
Confusion
Anxiety. "

Doesn't matter either way, pay someone enough they'll do a study finding that the Pope is Jewish. It's only when a number of studies with different backers arrive at the same conclusion without a significant number of studies arriving at an opposite conclusion that something can even be considered to be "likely" (not proven).

The late comedian Bill Hicks used to talk about how the media always reported the same old negative drug stories. I don?t doubt that most drugs have the potential to be harmful when used in a certain way, but what about the other side of the coin? Over to you Bill.
"Always that same LSD story, you've all seen it: 'Young man on acid, thought he could fly, jumped out of a building. What a tragedy.' What a dick, fcuk him! He's an idiot. If he thought he could fly, why didn't he take off from the ground first? Check it out. You don't see ducks lining up to catch elevators to fly south. They fly from the ground, you moron. Quit ruining it for everybody. He's a moron; he's dead, good. We lost a moron, fcuking celebrate. Boy I just felt the world get lighter--we lost a moron...how about a positive LSD story? That would be newsworthy, don't you think? Anybody think that? Just once, to hear a positive LSD story: 'Today, a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration; that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves... here's Tom with the weather."

I was talking to my brother, medical student, and he was telling me that excessive pot usage can actually lower your sex drive and cause impotence. Apparently the marijuana chemicals replace certain brain receptors or something like that, and well the result is a flacid penis.

anyways, sorry to hear about your mother and grandmother. and yes, your bro needs help if he's having trouble keeping his priorities straight.

Er, the only drug smoking pot leads to is insulin, which you invoke by eating tons of sugary things when stoned :laugh: Seriously, not only is pot NOT a gateway drug, but the entire concept of a 'gateway drug' is bullshit in the first place, a story cooked up by the DEA & Partnership because decriminalizing pot would put 80% of them on unemployment lines and cut into the various revenue paths going from alcohol & tobacco companies to government coffers. Further, people need someone to blame, a scapegoat to victimize with accusing fingers. A lot of time, effort, and money has gone into making pot that scapegoat and the powers that be don't want to waste that.
Doubt it. My friends are all stoners. I got high once, didn't really enjoy it (normal affects and all, but I like things like short-term memory ), and haven't done any again, nor do I intend to.Originally posted by: Eli
This is exactly the thing that needs to be addressed. When are people going to realize that it is people that do drugs? Drugs don't do people.Originally posted by: phpdog
I started smoking pot when i was 14 .
It didnt do me physical harm but it totally messed up my life , i started just putting everything else including school to the back of the que and sitting around all day smoking weed .
For me it led to hard drugs but i think that was more to do with my environment and friends more than anything else.
Most people can smoke pot [ as do a LOT of my mates and relatives ] and have nuthing more than a few joints or a pipe at night . It really depends or your personality , and what your got going on in your life and around you .
I REALLY wish i didnt take it at least until id finished school , but thats life .
I cant say for sure if i hadent took that weed for the first time that i wouldnt have turned out a HERION addict on medication for the rest of my life , but the fact remains that it was , and it also was my 3 out of my other 5 friends first drug who are now dead [ but they died of herion] .
Basically i think it's a MAJOR risk for anyone wanting to experiment with ANY kind of drug as you dont know what kind of personality you will have with drugs , mine was an addictive personality and i paid the price for that.
The key to drug use prevention is education. Plain and simple. We have to create children that don't want to do drugs. That seems virtually impossible, though.
No, as anyone who's been through it knows. And the guys they get for DARE are as dense as steel. It was so easy to spot the folks who got high before DARE just for the hell of it.Lies and propaganda a'la DARE is not the right direction.
No, but you could get people to want to do things by themselves, for themselves, rather than to themselves with mind and body altering substances.It seems to be human nature to want to change states of conciousness. You cannot stop people from doing it.
Yeah--I hate it when I start channeling Linda Blair.Instead, we make drugs against the law, we put money into the hands of drug dealers and criminals, and make it so expensive for the drug users to get their fix that they commit crimes to do so.
Way to go! It's so fscking backwards, it makes my head spin.
I was making a point about how biased the media is when reporting on drug usage. Not that I personally expect balanced and considered reporting from the mainstream media in general. There are exceptions of course.Originally posted by: Battleangel3222
alright...guys...ive seen some lame stuff typed in this thread by other people...But atleast the other people had some facts about their argument. But you...are the most retarded person to post in this thread ever....have you ever actually tried LSD? Do you know what it does to you? It nearly fuc ks you up in everyway. I was with my friend when he used it... he was running and freaking out because he thought the television grew legs and was trying to kill him. Its very serious stuff, if you saw something....you would believe it...why...because you saw it. I've done my fair share of weed (And learned its just not worth it, and the fact that there are no facts that weed isnt bad for you), but I woudn't touch that s hit with a 20 foot pole...smilingcrow, you probably havent smoked a thing....you took a sip out of daddys beer.

No $hit weed is a hell of different drug than acid. Weed is not a Hallucigenic. Weed is one thing, it can be something that you do with your friends that they think is fun to just get stoned and end up eating a bunch of $hit when you get the munchies. But Acid is another thing, you are going to see things actually happening infront of you, thus its a shitload more scary. Aside from that, its WAY FU CKING EASY to do way too much VERY easily with LSD, and that my friend can kill you on the spot.
Cannabis is recognised as being mildly hallucinogenic. Not in the same class as LSD for sure, but still a hallucinogen.Originally posted by: Battleangel3222

An analogy that comes to mind for me is that weed is like a young child?s bicycle, whereas LSD is like a 150 horse power super bike. They are both 2 wheel modes of transport, but there the similarities mainly end.Originally posted by: Battleangel3222

The LD50 of LSD is way, way, WAY more than anybody would ever do on purpose. I'm not aware of anybody that has actually died from LSD toxicity. When you get into the upper dosage range, however... you're usually never normal again. Like I said, nobody would ever do that much on purpose.
Just like every other drug, LSD is going to effect different people.. well, differently.
Most people can do LSD and come away from the experience a better person. That isn't true for everybody, though.

Sounds more like an acid trip.
Any "scientific" study that says smoking marijuana leads to "permanent dementia" needs to be thrown in the trash, because it is obviously full of sh!t.
LOL.. permanent dementia.. that's a good one. I think you've been watching too much Reefer Madness.
