Play this while you read! Thanks to Waiz!
I was thinking to myself, why was I brought up to think that Marijuana was only used by criminals, rapist & crazy people? For a long time this is what i was taught.. to be afrade and away from smoking weed. If i smoke it, i will end up jobless and dirty & in need for a tooth brush. Why would i think this? I am a parent of two beautiful, healthy, smart boys & i have been smoking weed for 8 years. How can this be? This is not what i was taught.. In fact it's the complete opposite. I'm happy, healthy & i have a tooth brush
My question is when my boys are old enough to learn about drugs, can i rely on the public school systems to give my boys the right information. So i looked at the D.A.R.E website. D.A.R.E is the program that would come to our school (normally an officer with a gun) and teach us the dangers of drugs. I remember i was in 5th grade, an officer came to our school to talk to us about WEEEEEEED. He asked the question "How do i know it's weed" Well, it's got a pretty distinct smell, DER. Some kid spoke up "I know what it smells like." The office snarled at him for it, like he was some sort of criminal. The kid was embarrassed & i'm sure that kid has ended up smoking 7 gram rocks- Thanks to office asshole.

Description
Marijuana is a green or gray mixture of dried, shredded flowers and leaves of the hemp plant Cannabis sativa.
Use
It can be eaten in certain foods or smoked. Marijuana is usually smoked in the form of loosely rolled cigarettes called "joints" or hollowed out commercial cigars called "blunts."
Dangers and Effects
Smoking marijuana may impair short-term memory while people are using the drug. This happens because all forms of marijuana contain THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol), the main active chemical in marijuana, which alters the way the brain works.

Question: Don’t you think doctors ought to be able to prescribe anything they want for their patients?
Response: Marijuana is not prescribable. It is an illicit drug that has failed to meet any of the FDA criteria for therapeutic drugs. Further, when it comes to pharmaceutical drugs that are controlled substances, doctors may not prescribe them in any manner they please, and pill mill doctors who have been caught handing out unwarranted prescriptions for these substances are often arrested and serve jail time-as has happened in the past with Valium and more recently OxyContin.

My response to your response- Sure lets now talk about the dirty side of the story. Jail time (insert sound of closing doors here)
Are we talking about Marijuana or the twisted people we like to call HUMANS? No matter the situation you're always going to have that rotten egg-regardless if "drugs" are involved. Let our kids know the hard facts instead of scaring them with the thought of hard jail time.
P.s. Can i get the number to this doctor, i could use some Oxys. :whistle:

Question: But they’re asking for marijuana for terminally ill patients. Don’t you think these patients deserve to be relieved from their suffering?
Response: First, though the media continues to claim that marijuana would only be used by terminally ill patients, the fact is that all of the initiatives passed to date have been much more broad based than that, and, in fact, an Oregon physician who had written more than 60 percent of all the marijuana recommendations in that state had not examined the patients and had not seen their medical records. He had even given a recommendation to a 14-year-old child for a minor ailment. Further, few of the individuals who received the “recommendations” had “terminal” medical conditions.
Question: But if someone is terminal?
Response: Even the IOM report acknowledged that there are excellent pharmaceutical medications already available to treat every malady mentioned by those who seek to smoke marijuana.
Question: So are you saying that marijuana has no medical properties?
Response: Having medical properties is not the same thing as being safe and effective for medical use. Marijuana has 483 compounds, 66 of which are cannabinoids. Several of the cannabinoids have already been developed into FDA approved medications. But these medications are not marijuana. They are pharmaceutical drugs, which can be carefully titrated to the patient's needs.

I know that painkillers can be KILLER on your body.. when weed you can smoke and smoke and smmmookkkee :420: & you'll feel alllrright, unlimited, relaxed for that aching back.
STOP TEACHING OUR KIDS TO FEAR MARIJUANA! TEACH THEM RIGHT!

I love how it says "it alters the way the brain works," implying that bud's in total control. For the most I know, I'm still very capable and in control. It does alter the way you think a bit, for the better. I really get into things, pay attention to what I'm actually doing. It's like an enhancement of attendance I guess, to what your task is at hand. Consequently, people say you can't function on it nor can you give someone or something your full attention. By that I know their trying to say we're lazy, which is complete bullshit.
The part about the physician giving out recommendations to so many people is a bit uncanny. But marijuana is not at fault, he is. I know they make at least $100 with every new patient, and with supply and demand, he's making money. He wanted more, it's the other green, money, that got to him.
One more thing I can't stand are the commercials for cigarettes. Though there are a couple an anti-tobacco commercials I've seen lately, I'm talking about the past. The way smoking cigarettes was emphasized, it was literally on everything. The Flinstones promoted it.
[ame=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NAExoSozc2c]YouTube - Flintstones Cigarette Commercial[/ame]
As it happens, The Flinstones were sponsored by Winston's Cigarettes. It's the mass media and money controlling or trying to control the way we think. They infer through such commercials, which even kids watch, that smoking is cool. While I'm certain that at the same time, weed was, for the lack of a better word, the devil. For everybody that's against weed for it being smoked, VAPORIZER! It's vapor that your inhaling, not smoke. If you haven't tried putting tobacco in a vaporizer, good, stop now. It's nasty, has no flavor, and I swear, marijuana is sweet on the vape. Clean high is all I can say. Now, for some facts...
<li> No smoke! Is the number one benefit of using a vaporizer. As the medical marijuana vaporizes you will note that a thin mist of vapour is created at this lower 338 °F (170 °C) temperature. Compare that to a typical marijuana joint which burns at temperatures of up to 2,012 °F (1,100 °C) and in the process creates many harmful carcinogens. Smoke is the prime cause of lung cancer and many respiratory disorders.
<li> No smell. As nothing is actually burning there is very little smell involved with vaporization.
<li> Save money - Since vaporization takes place at temperatures below combustion up to twice as many active constituents are delivered to the user than one would get from smoking, according to studies. Cannabinoids are highly combustible, and many of the delicate glandular trichomes may be destroyed when simply smoked.

There you go, it's beneficial. There's much more to it. If you're wondering why my response was so long... yea, baked.
