*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:*

So potent, $20 a G does the trick, $15 G's are also good, the $10 G's are ok, they get you high but it doesn't last long.
10 dollar g's lol. Sounds like some chronic.

Try using them for blunts without the filter tip. Expensive to use as a blunt but the tastes unique.

Na, nothing close to the stress shit. Usually, the $10 strains are left overs of the top shelfs or sometimes shake. During happy hour and shit for some clinic, you can get danks for $10. Some clinics have $7 G's lol, perfect for a nice j or a blunt. :bro:

The original song by Eminem is shit, but this song's dope.
It's a song parody, but has some valid points.
I believe it should be legalized or at least decriminalized for these reasons:
-It's safer than alcohol and tobacco, both of which are legal. Tobacco should be illegal though, is my thought, but that's another subject.
-It's not physically addictive, and for people who say it makes people mentally addicted, you can be mentally addicted to anything, so that's not a valid reason to ban it.
-It has no permanent side-effects, I know several people who smoke weed a ton, as in even during school (which probably isn't good), and they are straight A students who are hardworking and determined, there is living evidence that marijuana does not produce "zombies". Obama has smoked, Clinton has smoked, look at where they are!
-Even driving high is safer than drunk driving, I know a kid that has driven me places both while he was drunk and high, and when he is high he drives fine but when he is drunk he tends to swerve a lot more and it's a lot more unsafe.
-Health risks are nowhere near as high as alcohol or tobacco, and if you use a bong of vaporizer the health risks are virtually non-existent as THC doesn't really do harm to any part of the body, however smoking with devices with little filtering (pipes, joints especially) allows stuff besides THC to get in the lungs and actually produces health risks.
-We are wasting a ton of valuable resources and ruining people's lives for something that does not really harm anyone else, and while marijuana itself may harm the person's health our consequences for marijuana harms the person much more. The law is made to serve/protect people, not ruin lives.
-Violence and "drug wars" over marijuana are largely because it is illegal, if it was legal, this kind of violence would not exist. Marijuana has a relaxing effect on people and does not provoke violence like alcohol. We don't see "chocolate wars", and it's because it's legal, so there is no bullshit with underground smuggling and illegitiment deals.
-The prohibition of marijuana comes from illegitiment purposes anyways, William Randolf Hurst ran a smear campaign in the 20's that effectively banned hemp along with marijuana. This catered to his interests because he owned a timber industry and hemp was being offered as a cheaper alternative to wood pulp to make the tons of paper we need. This resulted in him losing money. And from there on, people's preconceptions about this drug have been skewed and they just kind of go on with the rest of society while not really questioning what this drug really does. If you asked an average person what marijuana does to you, they probably know no more then "it's bad for you" or "it ****s with your brain".
-The rate of adolescents smoking weed in the Netherlands is LOWER than it is in the US. Im sure you all know weed is legal there.
-And average human literally have to smoke 1,500 POUNDS in 15 minutes to die from marijuana overdose. And what kills you is STILL not the substance which gets you high, THC. Now let's see, and ounce is 400$, 16 ounces in a pound...hmm, if I ever get that much money or weed, I'll die of like, happiness overdose before I get a chance to OD on weed. (Which is impossible anyways, you can't smoke that much in 15 minutes. You can barely smoke a 1/16 of an ounce in that time)
