*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:
You must login or register to view this content.
-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:*

You couldn't be making it up anymore if you tried. They're not drugs, nor are they illegal, hence you being able to buy them from shops in the UK.
Mr.420, SWED = Smoke weed every day!
You, i can tell, know what you're on about. Unfortunately, 90% of people in your thread don't.
I would contribute more but i can't be arsed with people who have no knowledge on this subject trying to get a point of view across which isn't their own.
Simple fact is, if anyone who opposes it does just 1hr of research into the subject, they'll quickly realise that smoking weed is not a bad thing.
Another simple fact is, a majority of people can't be bothered to do the research but are more than willing to fight the case for Weed Illegalisation. Humanity just needs things to hate on. Weed being illegal is an easy subject for them to pick on. Also, the so called "effects" that they label weed as having are an easy/cheap insult for people to use, ie. "Don't listen to him, he's a stoner!" / "You must be really lazy and fat cus you smoke!"
The illegalisation of weed is ridiculous, purely down to one mans hate for one race. Absolutely pathetic, just like the people who are still on Mr.Gunslinger's bandwagon today. Do you think anti-weed people know their saviour was a racist and a liar?

wow, i didn't know that lol /facepalm the SWED thing.
fuuuuuuck yea man, i completely agree. I'm more amazed than mad at most of the responses i get i love it. Peoples minds are controlled by age old propaganda and fake ass "facts". People who are against weed do seriously need to do some research, or in fact, smoke a joint.
I live in california man, and once i found out Prop 19 didn't pass, I immediately realized how stupid californians really are. The positivity was far greater than the negative side, yet dumb bitches were against it. And now, the budget deficit is even more. What they don't realize is that more than $500,0000 is being spent on Marijuana daily in california, most of which is illegal. Now if the stupid government were to regulate and tax that shit, imagine how much money they would have made, ****ing billions. But you know what, Im not even mad, if the govt. is stupid enough to not take advantage of that, dealers sure as hell will. I could go on and on about this shit, but im gonna stop lol.
