Pot gives you the munchies......and for junk food. So one leads to the other.Please!...... it is a conservative site and they don't want to rile the big pharma lovers, they included a line more suited to "Reefer Madness". Pot is not addictive at all. Sugar is far more dangerous and addictive , yet it is everywhere and continues to kill. Killing score- Sugar : Millions , Pot: zero
I agree that sugar is addictive, but looking around there are many articles that say that pot can be addictive. Not like heroin of course but still.Please!...... it is a conservative site and they don't want to rile the big pharma lovers, they included a line more suited to "Reefer Madness".

What was the questions again?I agree that sugar is addictive, but looking around there are many articles that say that pot can be addictive. Not like heroin of course but still.
I'm not against it, I think booze is worst. If you're (people) a heavy smoker, try to quit for a month, take a break just to see.
Make you stupid? Well, you certainly have not talked with any creative people -- artists, musicians, writers, philosophers, research scientists, theoretical thinkers, inventors, etc. -- who use it! It may impair mechanical and logical faculties for many, but it greatly enhances many other creative and meditative faculties... and if you have not engaged in sexual activities under its influence, then you are really missing some marvelous life experiences.It will make you a bit stupid. Don't bother trying to get around that.
It will make you smell of it. It's as bad a tobacco smell wise.
It isn't a cure all, and if you aren't in chemo, have certain chronic pain issues, smoking it everyday won't be good for you.
To each his or her own, as with alcohol, everyone who indulges or is influenced by others around them who indulge will have their own unique experiences Canadian society will take a generation or so to fully absorb the ramifications of legal recreational cannabis at social, medical and legal liability levels. We are entering into uncharted territory.Make you stupid?

Smell of it? Only if you surround yourself with great clouds of smoke. Not at all if you vaporize or eat it. And do not smoke it. In fact, don't smoke anything other than fish! Well, OK, meat, too.
It isn't a cure for anything? You have not kept up to date on medical research. In fact, the research shows that it helps with a very large number of illnesses and diseases. There has been a ton of research over the past 15 years or so, especially in Israel, with some mind blowing revelations. And cannabis has been part of the pharmacopeia of the East for thousands of years and of the West for hundreds of years until the Great "Reefer Madness" Hoax was invented in the 1930's...
I have been using it on-and-off for many years recreationally and in meditation, but I do not drive or try to do anything requiring mechanical or logical/rational dexterity when medicated. More interestingly, I have been using it in a very methodical way to treat my arthritis for the past 4 years or so and it has helped immensely, to the point that my rheumatologist was amazed.
And you may be utterly shocked to hear that there is a lot of medical research and evidence suggesting that it may even cure cancer! And no doubt that it greatly helps with Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, PTSD's, Crohn's... Here's a useful link for you, if you wish to explore the subject: http://www.tikun-olam.info/
If you are saying that it is important to understand and differentiate between its use, misuse and abuse, I agree totally! Many, many people abuse it because they think that, if a little bit is good, then a lot is better. The way I see it, getting stoned is abuse; getting a buzz and experiencing yourself and your environment in ways you had never experienced it before, is use!
Now, if you don't mind, I'll step off the soapbox. :yo:

Though I doubt that the damage from pot will ever be as high as the damage to society through drinking.To each his or her own, as with alcohol, everyone who indulges or is influenced by others around them who indulge will have their own unique experiences Canadian society will take a generation or so to fully absorb the ramifications of legal recreational cannabis at social, medical and legal liability levels. We are entering into uncharted territory.
Absolutely!We are entering into uncharted territory.
i think that all around stupid feeling eventually becomes long term after awhile, even when u stop smoking marijuana..I occasionally smoke a joint with friends and the effects are to make me feel paranoid, tired, unfocused and all around stupid.
Yes, that is a well known reaction with a very small percentage of the general population... :sad:I occasionally smoke a joint with friends and the effects are to make me feel paranoid, tired, unfocused and all around stupid.
If it cured cancer, then why arent all cancer patients smoking weed and getting cured 100%? dont b so naive and daft and listen to every claim ppl make.It isn't a cure for anything?

You have to read what is written not what you want it to say or the nuances you want to put on it.If it cured cancer, then why arent all cancer patients smoking weed and getting cured 100%? dont b so naive and daft and listen to every claim ppl make.
I've seen some chronic big time dope smokers who are now permanently and irreversibly baked as fuck. I wonder what the government's disclaimer will be to attempt to escape legal liability for legalize weed ?i think that all around stupid feeling eventually becomes long term after awhile, even when u stop smoking marijuana..
same way they have avoided responsibility for the damage caused by alcohol, tobacco and gambling.I've seen some chronic big time dope smokers who are now permanently and irreversibly baked as fuck. I wonder what the government's disclaimer will be to attempt to escape legal liability for legalize weed ?
Where there is taxes to be collected,...anything will do.I've seen some chronic big time dope smokers who are now permanently and irreversibly baked as fuck. I wonder what the government's disclaimer will be to attempt to escape legal liability for legalize weed ?
A clear example of abuse...I've seen some chronic big time dope smokers who are now permanently and irreversibly baked as fuck.

So is alcohol. What makes pot more of a gateway is that it's illegal. Alcohol hooks you up with a bartender. Pot hooks you up with a drug dealer.Pot is a gateway drug.
Are you writing in the first person, singular or generalizing in the the third person, plural?...pot stinks to high heaven.
