"Earlier work established that marijuana does contain cancer-causing chemicals as potentially harmful as those in tobacco, he said. However, marijuana also contains the chemical THC, which he said may kill aging cells and keep them from becoming cancerous."

You dont know jack ----.

 

I agree completely but since when has it been legal in canada lmao unless im living in a diff canada

 

Yes it should be legal it rules

 

i think its legal for medical purposes in canada

 

Wow, this is like the 50th thread of this. meh i'll still post.


Weed, its harmless. I personally don't smoke it, but i do support it. I;'ve done essays on its effects and all that jazz.

The point is, the only reason people are saying "no" to it, is because they were raised with this idea that it kills. You have more of a chance from dying of rhubarb, salt, and hell, sugar than you do from marijuana. And to be truthful, it was based on racist laws when it was first created (in canada atleast, don't believe me, just send a pm)

I've said all this way too much in every board thats been created.

So just lay back relax, and light a fatty.

it doesn't affect you in anyway (like other topics such as gay marriage, abortion etc.) ...


(for all those weed smokers, pick up some of these sweet papes, the have a wire inside of it that way you can smoke the roach without burning yourself, and without the hassle of making a roach clip)

 

Well, the medical textbooks must be put out by the government. I mean obviously, anything saying anything against marijuana is biased. No, like it or not, burning/smoking anything, whatever it may be, will produce tar. Trust me, it's there. It's a cigarrette with marijuana in it. You're smoking it, therefore the tar will enter your body. There's no two ways around it. There is no way to smoke marijuana and not get that tar. The tar, not the marijuana, is what has the carcinogens in it. The marijuana in itself is actually quite safe for a drug. That's where your studies about how marijuana is safe come from. They're not lying. Marijuana is actually pretty safe. It's the tar that'll get you, in addition to whatever you're doing to your body while under its influence. However, trying marijuana is probably not the smartest thing to do. I think sticking your dick in the oven would be much smarter, personally.

My mom just got out of anesthesia school a few months back. Believe it or not, they actually studied the effects of marijuana as a medicine there. They've found that information, not me. By the way, I don't believe the school she went to was government-run. But obviously, even objective studies in a private school must be biased, seeing as they (students with usually years of experience as nurses) are brainwashed, government-controlled, anti-marijuana drones.

As for driving under the influence, people do it with alcohol. They'll do it with marijuana as well. Saying that marijuana/alcohol is responsible for that is like saying the spoon made you fat, not you. It's the person's decision to sit behind the wheel, start the engine, and go. I think there should be harsher penalties for all forms of driving while intoxicated, not just marijuana. By the way, intoxication is not a defense in a court of law. They'll look at you as if you were sober, no matter what you do. Though if you do something (I.E. destruction of property from crashing your car into someone's house) while using marijuana, it's safe to say that you'll get slapped with drug-use charges in addition to whatever you were originally charged with.

 

OFF TOPIC: i read you have a greater chance of dieing from a coconut hitting your head then by a shark bite

On topic: so if THATs the case, then i think that other than not smoking it its the least-common-way-to-die lol

idk

 

well here, lets put into mathematics. You can od one weed but, this is how much you have to smoke, and you have to smoke it fast enough before the thc is gone past you brain and into either your hair for storage or fat.

Here

Pretty much you'd have to smoke 21 grams of weed within aa 15 minute time, and your not allowed to exhale, and all smoke that comes out of the end of the joint must also be consumed.

If anyone can do that, i'll be your bitch.

 

Legal UNDER a certain amount.

Their desicion to smoke it if they want.

 

and you do?


tell me what the ---- you know


that ---- says it causes cancer...when it doesn't


nice job, go kill yourself.

 

It should be allowed becuase then people won't really care. The drinking age should be lowered too. People in Europe don't have any of that stuff and they are way better off than we are when it comes to drugs and alcohool. We're like the only country that actually do have rules and regulations on that stuff.

The age and limit should be lowered but not totally gone, have some boundaries.
