*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.
Marijuana Statistics: [Deaths Per Year in the U.S.]

*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:*

Not true. It is actually called "Public Intoxication". If your driving you will get a DUI.

Way off, lol. My friend just last year spend 3 months in jail for a "dime" bag. And before you jump to conclusions. That was his "First" arrest ever.

because its only illegal to possess it. look it up
That is only some states...I'm sure that 99% of them that is not true. Being high is same as drunk. You can get DUI, DWI, PI. all just from smoking.
Other thoughts...I am COMPLETELY FOR making it legal. It is someone said here 100 times..but I would go further. I would say it is 1000 times safer than smoking or drinking.
Hell, who has ever shot up a McDonalds cause he smoked a blunt..."No one".
Who has ever ran off the road, fell asleep behind the wheel and killed or hurt an innocent person while driving (when high)..No one..
So I am for it...
Just wanted to point out..that not everything that ya'll where saying is true.
OH,...and that 0 deaths...so not true...that would be 100% on where you research it at.
it is 50/50 on researches. They actually say that weed has can give you cancer faster than cigarettes. (I personally think that is total BS).
but those results are all going to depend on where you look.
Best Solution. Just make it LEGAL :tits:

Bull shit you only like it for the high.
I don't have a problem with people smoking weed now and then but people who are high 24/7 are useless waste of space.

They cant arrest you for being high on marijuana. Theres no law against being high. Only possessing it. Now being high on crack or meth is a different story.
And you can look at every report. There is NOT A SINGLE DEATH relating to the use of marijuana. Now if you look at it secondary there is a difference. Lets say someone had a pe in their lung. A PE is a Pulmonary Embolism. It is a chunk from a clot in a vein that has passed through the heart and into the lungs. Excessive coughing can actually trigger these PE's to react and start to create a clot in the heart and stop your ability to retain oxygen and die. But again there has not been a single death related to strictly the use of weed.
The whole DUI thing is stupid to. I drive high every day and I can say I'm more cautious when I am driving high then when I'm sober. But then again its different for everyone. I know girls that I wont let drive high cause they are just dumb as **** behind the wheel and cant pay attention.

So technically I'm a useless waste of space who has a steady job, a girlfriend and my own place. I pay my bills on time and have no problem in life at all yet i smoke every day. Like i said before if you don't have anything meaningful to say get the hell out of this thread.
