*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.

And **** that, the lazy ****s that smoke weed and do nothing are portraying am image for stoners, which many ignorant people believe. i hate how everybody thinks that "stoners" just smoke ween and do nothing and have a "yeaaa mannn" attitude, **** that. Those lazy shits are ruining the image of the stoners as a whole, and everybody else, just like you belive that. Now, I sometimes smoke and do nothing, but that isn't the reason for procrastinating. Everybody likes to put things off as much as they can, especially in school, I don't think that every kid that didn't do their paper was high or some shit. It's in our nature to put things off till later, i bet you've done it, iv'e done it, and pretty much everybody else probably has to. And God knows why every type of weed is different? Do some research and you could be "God" too.

Haha. I love how many people just want to bash on the idea of "weed" without knowing shit about it lol.

My God,
Do you actually read peoples thread or form your opinion on the first sentance. Here is part of the reply to your reference.

I resent being called a 13 year old !!!

The joke is that I don't mind being called simple minded, but don't call me 13.Forgot that I'm probably replying to a 13 year old or at least someone with equivilant intelligenceQuote:

Fair enough,
Although I did not raise the age issue and would argue that it was on topic.
You do realize I'm nowhere near 13 anymore.
Just a bad misunderstood attempt at humour that no body got.
Won't happen again.

420,
I don't know why you decided to be flippant.
My question was asked seriously.
I define a stoner as a chronic smoker, stoned most of the time.
Recreational use is no different than a social drinker and less dangerous as well, health wise, driving and social aggression.
I have agreed with most of your positions on the subject.
My question should have asked what your definition of a stoner is.
Anyone who is a chronic user, besides feeling the need to be buzzed and never wanting to be in a normal state of mind is more likely to be lethargic. Sure anyone can put shit off, but someone who always feels the need to be altered usually does not have the drive to succeed in life. They can't be completely happy inside their own mind if they have to change it all the time.
Can someone be stoned most of the time for years? I certainly was an example of that behavior. I kept a buzz going for nearly 20 yrs and although it did not keep me from acting as a normal member of society, it surely kept me from reaching my full potential.
I'm not saying you are an addict or commenting on your life at all.
Frankly I have no idea how much you smoke or how motivated you are, but you seem rational on the subject and I was curious on your thoughts on the matter.
Pots biggest problem is it doesn't tell you when you've had enough.
I was a potoholic. Unlike alcohol, it never told me when to stop.
I never smoked myself into a stupor and most people would never know I was stoned ( thanks to visine ), but it is the drugs most insidious side effect. You don't get addicted to the drug, you get addicted to the buzz.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with recreational use but its defining what is abuse that becomes more difficult to establish.
If you meet the standards of alcoholism, than you likely have an abuse problem. I met those standards, many stoners do not.
As far as Ace's comments, He is seems unable to read or understand humor. I assume he is young and forms opinions much too quickly.
And I never smoked enough to think I was God( God Debate? ), but I got a stone on one time that I almost thought I could hear him. He told me to go into the kitchen and eat all my wife's Christmas cookies she spent 3 days making.
Pots a great drug if you are not abusing it, it's just the easiest one to abuse.

First off, you can't get addicted to weed really, and second of, that's the stereotypical shit man. It's not weed that makes people not do things, that shit is all mental, its up to ones own will power to decide for themselves. My definition of a stoner isn't some one who just smokes, there more to it. Real stoner's are some of the most awesome people i think, its people who are actually into the plant, culture, and all the positivity behind it, a stoner isn't some one who smokes to be "cool". And who says you can't smoke weed and succeed? Snoop Doggs probably making more money than you can dream of, yet he smokes 24/7. Trust me man, my life isn't at all altered or disrupted because of weed, however, i can not speak for everybody, so your argument doesn't pertain to me. Your arguement isn't factual, and neither is mine in a way, it's just the way people are and how they think that make them act in certain ways. Willpower is something great, if you have that, shit else shouldn't effect you. Im not in any way trying to argue or anything nor am i calling you immature, but our ideas just collide, that's simply it.
