*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:
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:

-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.

*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:*

My point exactly, you are ignorant. You don't know shit about my life, but your making an assumption saying that all I do is smoke weed. Everybody is in the same world as you, calm down. You aren't special, hopefully.

I'm ignorant? Read the thread fully & you'll see whose ignorant. I havn't made any assumption about your life, So i don't know where you got that from.
Smokers can't discuss things with non-smokers or even past smokers like myself because it always escalates into an arguement like it has here.
90% of the thread are kids so i don't see how any of them can argue with those who are against it.
Oh & Btw calling me ignorant then posting "You don't know shit about my life, but your making an assumption saying that all I do is smoke weed" thats a bit hypocritical isn't it? .

"My body actually consists of someone wanting more to life than smoking weed. "
Your not stating it directly, but obviously that your assumption was aimed at me. Man, I know my facts, Iv'e read the thread, its nothing much. The thread is vague on the topic of marijuana. Like anything, theres going to be two sides. And at many times, those two sides can't come to an agreement. Theres much more to weed than what's on this thread, much. So, I don't understand at all how my thread is ignorant, it's factual.

Your thread isn't ignorant at all niether are the points you just made, but some of the people on the thread are so one-sided and won't let others have an opinion on the matter.
Nothing was aimed at anyone except in my posts on the previous page to a dick on this website.
Like i just mentioned on my previous post aswell theres kids here who just smoke it to be a "badass" while others smoke it for enjoyment/health whatever. Those are the ones i'm aiming at because they go all defensive when i say the truth about them being a "badass wannabee".

See, now that's a completely different argument, but it's true. Kids that smoke it to be cool are just plain arrogant. I hate kids like that, and there were many when I was in high school. But I simply smoke it to relax, and before I eat. Being a past smoker, you should know the kick it gives your appetite. But yea, eventually those "badasses" will grow out of it, they have to learn some time.

Again, i'm struggling to cope with how your dumbass head works... I'm the bum because i dont smoke weed? Ok, i'll let you think about that one.
Get liver desease and die in a dui wreck? Well it's clear you have anger issues, and a lack of social skills, too much smoking in your room by yourself?
Sounds to me like your almost in denial, you know you have problems but cant admit it? You go medicate yourself mate, everything will be alright once you light it up.....

lol. well first of all, weed doesnt cause "retardedness". second of all, weed doesnt have anything to do with your liver, so nice try trying to act like you know sh*t. if weed affected your driving, there would be WAY more accidents because people drive high all the time. including me.
lastly, weed DEFINITELY doesnt cause anger issues or lack of social skills. do you EVER see potheads abusing their children or wife?
well that shows how much you know. how about you learn something before you put stuff out that you Think you know; when in reality, you probably dont know anything at all about it except that it is a drug and the TV told you it was bad so you talk badly about it.

And how can you say weed doesnt affect driving? I've driven while stoned before and it affected my driving, so that claim is bullshit.
Do you even know what you are talking about? Weed can cause anger issues, ive known people to draw into themselves and become reclusive through smoking weed, that has an impact on social skills...
Your last paragraph i'm not even going to give you a response on.
The funny thing i dont get is why SOME users cant acknowledge certain things about weed? You've got to defend anything bad said about it and act like smoking weed is actually healthy for you. Like ive said before, i havent got a problem with people who smoke weed, or even weed itself. I gave it up for the simple reason after a few years it had a negative impact on me. But if you're gonna quote me with ignorant posts im not even going to bother responding...
