*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:

Types of Marijuana:
There are three types of marijuana : Sativa, Indica, and Hybrids.

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

Funny, the people who don't smoke. How can you have such strong opinions on something you know nothing about? You lot merely go off what hard faced adults have to say on the topic, which, correct me if i'm wrong, isn't proven fact but more of a hatred for something which they've been misinformed on.

I smoked it for 5years so i'm pretty entitled to my strong opinion. I'm just pointing out that the majority of the people who smoke it do it because their friends do it and they don't wanna be the odd one out so they do it to fit in.

And it's a weed thread you idiot, you've obviously never been high before, so you come in here and bash on it. Don't leave mad just leave.


Dumbass. You don't know shit about anyone of anything so don't talk unless you know something about me.

If you ever get out of your room and go to a nightclub you'll notice alot of the people are on coke.

I'm sure you've never been to one though seeing as your just another one of the little "badass" kids on this website.

Wow you got it totally wrong. Like Matt said most people do because they like the way it gets them high & because it ain't that bad for you. Go try some weed & get really high & come back & tell me how you feel. Cool Man (aka Tustin)

Second of all,
Does this thread read "Flame people Because They Smoke Weed"? No its a thread that is meant for people to discuss the cause and effects of marijuana, and eventually down the line, they will look at the positives and negatives and decide to smoke it or not. And thats the decision for them to make. NOT YOU.

Respect the thread, and Respect the posters.


Your point on letting people make their own decisions about smoking is fair.
Doing anything that alters your state of mind should be a personal choice.
Debating what substance does the least damage is fair as well.
But is there room for a debate on how often someone feels the need to alter their mind?
The only side effect of pot is it has no real side effects.
Most other mind altering substances tell you at some point to slow down or stop.
You can be continually stoned for years and have no side effects.
Is that not reason for some concern?
The debate should be about how often someone feels the need to alter their state of mind not about how they do it.
Alcoholism is a medically recognized disease.
Explain to me the difference of being under the influence of alcohol 24/7 and being stoned.
Besides the health implications and functioning differences, is there a major difference about the need to be altered?
If you smoke pot, drink, or self medicate some other way, how do you determine how much is too much?
Is there only too much for certain types of drugs and not others?
Isn't it really about the need and not the method?

Can i also add, some people smoke it because they have rappers as modles to them for example as you quoted Dr Dre, smoke weed every day, bob marley Tupac biggie smalls, they all smoked weed and some people do, do it because they want to be like them or be a rapper when they are older.

Now i want to say: Im not say everyone does it because of this, some people like the taste, some out of curiosty etc, im not giving numbers because i don't know the exact ammount and i don't care if you do or not i like people for who they are, not what they smoke.

Can i also just add, some people smoke it because they want to be like rappers or be a rapper when they are old enough, people like what this guy quoted before, Dr. Dre smoke weed every day, bob marley, tupac, biggie smalls, they all smoked weed and a lot of people do it because of that.Now i want to add: Im NOT saying thats why everyone does it, some people like the taste, smell, do it out of curiosity but i don't care if you do or don't, i like people for who they are not what they smoke.

Aha, that's funny because rappers are stereotypically the weed smokers. It's somewhat true though, but soooo many people love the herb, the "rappers" are just a small minority. Now, about those kids who look up to rappers as role models and smoke weed need to get their shit straight and snap out of their pipe dreams.
