*In this thread, im going to go over some facts about marijuana to hopefully better your knowledge on this topic*
A Little History:
Marijuana, also know as weed, pot, reefer, grass, dope, ganja, mary jane and hash, etc. is the drug most often used in this country. I'ts psychoactive chemical THC(Tetrahydrocannabinol), the little white crystals found on the bud, is what gives us the "high" feeling. It's a plant in which the leaves or bud's are smoked to give an intoxicating effect. A lot of people think that the banning of marijuana was through a scientific, governmental and medical hearing, but the truth is far from that.The first federal vote to prohibit marijuana was based on a documented lie on the floor of the senate. The most commons reason for the outlaw of marijuana involved racism, fear and murder. Believe it or not, the cannabis plant has been illegal for less that 1% of the time that it's been in use. That's like banning water. It's most known uses date back further than 7000 B.C. The actual hemp plant it self has a number of uses, such as : woven fabric, clothes, food, rope's, paper. In the 1600's, the government actually encouraged farmers to grow hemp. Hemp was such a critical crop for a number of purposes that the government went out of its way to encourage growth. The United States Census of 1850 counted 8,327 hemp “plantations” growing cannabis hemp for cloth, canvas and even the cordage used for baling cotton. Later on however, things changed and other factors came into play. Racism was part of the charge against marijuana, as newspapers in 1934 editorialized: “Marihuana influences Negroes to look at white people in the eye, step on white men’s shadows and look at a white woman twice.” The general public was being fed the most bogus lies.The government made it illegal just because of corporate greed - because hemp is a superior substitute to plastics and fuels. Making marijuana illegal meant that people could make a lot of money by selling synthetic goods that would have otherwise been made to a better quality with hemp. The man that ruined it all was Harry J. Anslinger. After two years of secret planning, Anslinger brought his plan to Congress — complete with a scrapbook full of sensational Hearst editorials, stories of ax murderers who had supposedly smoked marijuana, and racial slurs. From then on, the sad weedless era began.
Here are some quotes from Jerry J. Anslinger:
Genius, isn't he?
Types of Marijuana:
There are three types of marijuana : Sativa, Indica, and Hybrids.
Sativa:

-The sativa high is often characterized as uplifting and energetic . The effects of a sativa marijuana are mostly cerebral. They give a feeling of optimism and well - being, as well as providing a good measure of pain relief for certain symptoms. A few pure sativas are also very high in THC content. They are known to have a quite spacey, or hallucinogenic, effect. Sativas are a good choice for daytime smoking. Some common Sativa stains include Jack Herer, Blueberry, Sour Diesel, or Haze.
Indica:

-The indica highs are most often described as a pleasant body buzz. Indicas are great for relaxation, stress relief, and for an overall sense of calm and serenity. Marijuana indicas are also very effective for overall body pain relief, and often used in the treatment of insomnia. They are the late - evening choice of many smokers as an all - night sleep aid. A few pure indica strains are very potent in THC, and will cause the "couchlock" effect, enabling the smoker to simply sit still and enjoy the experience of the smoke. Some common Indica strains are any types of Kush like Bubba Kush or Platinum Kush.
Hybrids:
-The name says it all. It's both sativa and indica mixed. Usually, there is either Hybrid Sativa-Dominant or Hybrid Indica-Dominant. None the less, the hybrids give you both a cerebral and body high.
High Grade Marijuana:

-The real "dank" stuff is filled with THC crystals. It also has a lot of orange hairs. Good weed has a real distinct smell, you can really get a whiff of it. It's usually very fresh and dense or fluffy.
Low Grade Marijuana:

-Usually very dry, looks horrible, as in the picture above. It's mostly dark and not attractive at all. It also has no smell, to me, the real "schwagg" weed smells like wood. Don't waste your time with this crap, the high doesn't even last long. Also, if you get seeds with your nug, it's straight up cheap shit, as above in the picture, you could spot some seeds. For it to be good, it's got to be sticky, smell good, alot of THC and no seeds.
Medical Marijuana Legalized States:
-Some states in America have medical marijuana, usually for patients with cancer and such to help with their therapy, but it's pretty easy to obtain a medical card your self. There are over 250+ illnesses that can be either treated or reduced with marijuana. I personally got my medical license by saying that i had "insomnia", a sleeping disorder. The 14 states that allow medical marijuana are: Alaska, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Maine, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington.

*Now, the above is death's I believe are related to direct use, however, studies have been done focusing on the effect's of long term marijuana smoking, and the results are shockingly positive. No death's have been linked to long-term marijuana usage. If your interested in seeing more about this, PM me :y:*

And how can you say weed doesnt affect driving? I've driven while stoned before and it affected my driving, so that claim is bullshit.
Do you even know what you are talking about? Weed can cause anger issues, ive known people to draw into themselves and become reclusive through smoking weed, that has an impact on social skills...
Your last paragraph i'm not even going to give you a response on.
The funny thing i dont get is why SOME users cant acknowledge certain things about weed? You've got to defend anything bad said about it and act like smoking weed is actually healthy for you. Like ive said before, i havent got a problem with people who smoke weed, or even weed itself. I gave it up for the simple reason after a few years it had a negative impact on me. But if you're gonna quote me with ignorant posts im not even going to bother responding...

It probably doesnt affect your driving, but that's not to say weed doesnt affect anyones driving. See, here lies a big problem, because it effects everyone differently, people cant agree on certain things. Like i can tell you about all the negatives weed had on me after a few years and you could tell me about how its not affected you at all, 2 completely different sides, butthats not to say either is wrong. I can happily say people can smoke weed for years on end and be fine, so why cant alot of people acknowledge there CAN be negative effects to smoking?

Get liver desease and die in a dui wreck?
thats where you said it. and idk what you smoked, but the weed everyone else smokes makes them social and energetic. the opposite of anger. and yes, some pot heads dont acknowledge some things about it. like it increases heart rate which can increase risk of heart disease, but really, nothing else. but the positives out-weigh the negatives. there is NO medication with as many medical benefits as weed.

First of all, the comment about liver desease.... If you read that post again, please read the post i quoted. You will clearly see he told me to "Get liver desease and die in a dui wreck", refering to drinking, not smoking weed. I wasn't stating anything, i was quoting, hence the '?' at the end of the sentence. Next time please read fully and know what you're responding to next time you try to come at me.
And you still aren't listening, im not saying if you smoke you'll be angry. I'm saying, people who use weed on a daily basis for a long period of time can become addicted, not physically, but mentally, e.g "Cant feel normal without smoking a spliff", and become very short tempered and get angry because for whatever reason they cant get any weed.
Your arguement about positives out-weighing negatives is an interesting point, because again, this all comes down to individual users. Everybody reacts differently to weed depending on different factors, how much they smoke, what type they are smoking, how long they've been smoking, what sort of person they are, the reason they are smoking etc.
For example, somebody who's mentally dependant on weed suffering from paranoia, occasionally gets anxious and has panic attacks, cant function without it and as you said yourself, is at high risk of heart desease, is clearly having a negative impact on that persons life...
But, my cousin was born with cerbal palsy, he's 18 now and his spine is twisted, his legs and feet have countless screws in them, and is in pain most of the time. He smokes weed, and it helps him alot. He can walk further and longer without pain and he's more outgoing than when he's not on weed. So it's obviously making a positive impact on his life...
At the end of the day, im not saying if you smoke weed its a bad thing, im simply saying it CAN have negative impacts on people.

omg man, i sed its a class C drug and ciggarettes is also
its NOT illegal but dangerouse, sniffing glue and paint isnt illegal but its a class C drug, dont beielve me ? go ask any policeman in the UK, they the 1s who told me, gave me and my class a 30min lesson on drug ussage.
in my opinion, NO weed shud not be class B (im pretty sure it is) coz hardly anybody dies from it, and alcohol and ciggs will never be banned or have a higher level of danger level because our fuked up government rapes A HUGE AMOUNT OF MONEY FROM THE SALES.
think about it, if weed were legal, the gov wud get NO money, coz every 1 wud grow it themselves in there house . . . . meaning no money for the gov

alright, sorry i didnt read it right. and you didnt mention it could cause anger issues from addiction, thats why i assumed you meant that it directly induces anger.
