pfft...they can toss a new coat of paint on an old study....but it only shows correlation, not causation.
So marijuana turns you into a psychotic schizo? Reefer Madness 2010. I guess the gov and the pharma companies are scrambling their jets to confront Cali's marijuana Nov. vote.
LIES, LIES, LIES! Me, myself and I have never had any problems. But I admit, all three of us hear voices that say: "Hold your water till the very last blunt!"
Smeagol, you probably have a bunch of dismembered bodies hanging on the walls in your basement as a result of your marijuana induced psychotic rages and don't even know it.
Another Doctor practicing medicine. I wonder how phychotic these government dupes are. Or is that dopes? A person with schzophrenia can't get through a cup of coffee without a problem so they had to do a study using a drug? I wonder which strain of pot they used. Was it Romulan? That $&!! gives me a headache right off. Or was it Blueberry the mind altering medicinal stuff. I wonder if it was G13, or Hindu Kush? These doctors don't even know what they got or what the differences are much less, be qualified to make an opinion. Just keep practicing some day you might get it right, DOC.
There seem to be tons of researchers just grubbing around in old data looking for new correlations. Then they want to run right out and validate the correlation clinically. The problem with that is that you are using data that was often collected for totally unrelated issues and is, therefore, always suspect.
If you do not understand the mechanism by which something is related, there is never causation, only correlation. And correlation just means that they react together.
A good example is that there is a good statistical correlation between vitamin D3 and solid-tumor cancer. Based on this correlation, they are more carefully monitoring D3 blood levels and prescribing supplements if it is low. But no research ever addressed the causation issue. So physicians are prescribing vitamin D3 when they do not know which of four conditions are true: 1) that low D3 is a cause of cancer, 2) that cancer lowers D3 levels, 3) that the D3 levels and cancer are caused by the same external influence(s), of 4) that something else completely is happening and there is no true correlation between D3 levels and cancer.
Understanding the difference between causation and correlation seems to be especially tough for the medical industry to believe.
And this article particularly dresses an elephant in a tutu. They have formed a stepwise correlation that shows that shortly after ingesting THC the behavior of most schizophrenics changes. But so does anyone else's. My behavior would change and so would yours. But a schizophrenic's behavior changes differently from someone who is not schizophrenic. But, then a schizophrenic's "normal" behavior is different from a non-schizophrenic's normal behavior.
And the problem with measuring "behavior" in a non mens compos state is that often subjective in its evaluation. If you are looking for worsening schizophrenia, you will usually see worsening schizophrenia. So the authors have produced a study that shows that schizophrenics react differently to pot (along with everything else.)
And I strongly doubt the position that if marijuana was eliminated that schizophrenia rates in Britain would drop by 8 - 14%. This would require that marijuana be the cause of schizophrenia. I think what the study is actually measuring is that basically pot is a drug of young people. And the primary symptoms of schizophrenia develop between the ages of 16 and 26 as do many other serious mental illnesses. This leads one to ignore the real correlation which is age.
Anyone who has smoked pot knows it mellows you out unless you mix pot with booze or other drugs. Those with schizophrenia need to be around others who can maintain their own control resulting in a sense of well-being for those around them.
If the scientists in this study have never tried pot or perhaps pulled a Clinton and tried but "didn't inhale", they don't know what the hell they're talking about.
*laughing hard* And the pot smokers rush out to attack this. Never fails. Love it how no one actually reads anything properly and of course are in denial about what pot can do.
You people crack me up.
Notwithstanding the fact that you are presupposing something there, I do note that, on the whole, the posts pointing out problems with the article and the underlying study are more logical, better-considered and better written than is yours.
I can't speak to psychosis symptoms, but I've def. noticed an increase in my paranoia I experience if I smoke pot now, rather than 10 years or so ago when I was in college. Of course, back then, I didnt have much to worry about, other than trying to scrounge up 3 bucks in change in the couch cushions so I could afford a cup at that night's kegger...
Ohmigod it's all falling into place: the '20s hipster term tea... Tea Party... so obvious, how did I miss it?!
dtrock78 -- I think you're on to something. The effects of marijuana are cumulative. It makes actual physical changes in the brain over time. For anyone who's had to deal with long-time users, and I mean long-time, these study results are no surprise. Everyone has heard by now that marijuana takes away initiative, which is true, and it also causes depression and anxiety attacks. More often than not, the users are clueless about its effects, but not the non-users who have to be around them.
dtrock is onto something, all right... as a responsible adult, he's afraid of the law! Talkin' clueless, Anne...
I didn't mention the legal aspect. I mentioned the symptoms. Users defend it like the addicts they are, and yes, it is addictive. What I left out was paranoia, which dtrock mentioned.
Incredible though she may find it, I'm little interested in Anne's remarks... the reference, for the comprehension challenged, is to the statement of dtrock and the source of well-known fears associated with this issue.
You may not be interested, but your remarks could be interpreted any number of ways. What about dtrock's statement, which source and what well-known fears are you referring to? Just curious.
Yeah, fill me in too please.
I'm not "afraid of the law", I smoke ocassionally in my own house. It's just as I've gotten older, I noticed that my mind much quicker/easily strays towards anxious thoughts. Rather than sitting on a couch, laughing my @ss off at South Park after smoking and enjoying the "high", my mind starts racing with random (usually negative) thoughts about my career, my family, death, when I'm having kids, etc.
I'm not a chronic user of pot, so I can't really explain it. I ask other people this question and they look at me like I'm nuts. It may just be reflective of my stress level now vs. 10 years ago
Yeah, fill my bowl too, er - um! I mean me in too.
All I know is... Hey you talking to me?What?
I'm a schizophrenic and so am I.
I have a really good freind who has smoked for over 40 years...he is not paranoid, he is a productive member of society and a kind and giving person...he started smoking due to panic attacks and depression because the pills the docs push made him groggy, tired and unable to function to normally....I just love these ignorant tests...probably paid for by the pill pushers and pharma companies!
The research described in the article is inherently flawed as it did not account for a plethora of uncontrolled variables. As an example, most patients diagnosed with schizophrenia are, generally speaking, on a traditonal, or atypical anti-psychotic medication. The diminishment in functioning within the cannabis using population may have been the result of an interaction with their anti-psychotic medications. For the record, the human body is hardwired for cannabis. If you do a quick search for cannabinergic neuron system you will find that the human brain does in fact include such a neuron (neuron Cb2).
Well, dtrock, you originally intimated paranoia, now you've walked it back to anxiety and random sometimes negative thoughts. Perhaps my definition of paranoia is rather stringent but those things don't qualify.
Now, when at leisure, you think of the fact you will in fact one day die, instead of enjoying a cartoon like South Park or Drawn Together (however socially incisive it may be); are you sure that's a bad thing? For some of us, appreciating our mortality is the pivot upon which we develop a more complete and productive life.
I always understood that weed only intensifies those things you already feel, or brings into sharp relief the crap bouncing around in your brain. In my younger days when I was a daily doobee, it helped me see different aspects or alternative viewpoints in that regard. Perhaps by taking this into consideration, it makes sense that schizophrenics have more disconnect, and dtrock thinks more about "anxious" things.
Snake, comment 1.3
who told you about the stiffs? But seriously all that remains of the remains is a mummy under my mattress and law enforcement missed it last time. They just wanted the drugs!
You know, on a lighter note and no longer kidding... I never was big on smoking the reefer but cooking with it is another thing. A great way to recycle otherwise dumped shake... ground up in a blender, then in a coffee-grinder... a liberal serving of light green powder that goes well with assorted stuffings!... and spaghetti sauce with all the fresh basil and parsley, hmmm yumm.
Anne, You would not happen to be a therapist making a living off of drug war dollars would you. Does the state send you victims??
If they are really hard-core schizos, they aren't likely to listen to anyone's advice on how to
make things better, nor are they likely to be cured, even if they did listen ... so who gives a....?
Is this really an anti-pot advertisement, under the guise of Schizophrenia? Because there could
be no other reason for the article to have been written
Here's an equally important bit of news: drinking worsens alcoholism. Are we going to ban alcohol because some folks should never drink?
"Users defend it like the addicts they are"
Anne - I defy you to find ANYTHING that people like doing, 'addictive' or not. BAN IT, and see if folks defend it. You are taking defensiveness as evidence of addiction, when it very well may not be. I hope you're not in research.
just by reading the topic, i got the munchies!!
Will the governments propaganda against a harmless plant ever end?
Bud seems to calm me down and help me cope with my psychotic symptoms.
Strange last time I checked heroin comes from poppies, I suppose those are harmless as well. *laughing*
If one doesn't do distillation, it's a whole different tale.
Kshark - you sure are a genius *laughing*
Here is clue: what plant needs to be processed before becoming a man made drug?
a) marijuana
b) poppy plants
c) I is a genius an' no' everything - everyone else is rong
If you are self medicating yourself with any substance including alcohol you have issues. If you can't cope with the world on your own then you need to learn how, life's better when you are alert and aware.
Carlos,
"He who is without sin shall cast the first stone."
Peace be with you brother
Str8shott, I know quite a bit about use and effects and like a reformed whore I have strong feelings and am harsher than a inexperienced observer. I believe in freedom and if you want to smoke weed and want to believe there are no side effects go ahead its your life but if you want to look back on your life with less regrets and better relationships keep your wits about you. Its no fun to listen to stories told by your kids, family or friends and realize you were detached and listless and life passed you by while you thought it was a joke and they thought you were one. Do as you will but keep in mind there is always a price to be paid and if we live long enough we find out what really counts.
Carlos Toadvine Of course you believe in freedom...The freedom that allows you to sit on your high horse and judge other people and tell them how to live. Even when you don't know a damn thing about them or what the hell their life is like.
Carlos, thanks for your concern, but it's my life, and I'll live it how I choose. ANY substance can be used to the point of being detrimental, heck, WATER can be poisonous if you drink enough of it.
Anyone who tells you that marijuana is harmless, or has NO side-effects is full of it. BUT, like alcohol, it CAN be USED, and is not necessarily ABUSED. Big difference between the two there.
Your judgmentalism doesn't help anyone, users, OR you. Users immediately dismiss you as arrogant and ignorant, and you get nowhere with your rhetoric.
I love my life, my wife, and my kids. I like my house, my cars and my motorcycles. My 6 figure job, my 4.0 GPA as I further my education, my dogs, and my family are all things that bring me great enjoyment in my life.
I'm no joke, and neither is my life. The only joke I see here is your insistence that pot makes everyone worthless. That's just as inaccurate as asserting that pot is harmless. Those are both untruths.
And as relates the actual article, what they don't mention is that UK scientists have determined that for us to prevent ONE case of enhanced schizophrenia, we would have to stop FIVE THOUSAND normal users.
Good, so let's go out and save our .02% by telling everyone else they can't enjoy their lives as they see fit. You wanna be the nanny-stater? I sure don't. It's not my place to tell others how to live their lives, is it yours?
I have met enough people who have never done drugs-atleast they say they never did and they make no amends about damning drugs - and too many of those same people turned out to be just one too many short of a 6 pack.
"That's ridiculous it does not!"
"Shut up Martin, you don't know what you're talking about!"
...."No, YOU shut up"
Martin, don't be too hard on yourself.
Martin Parlsh Cryar--
So it is funny making fun of people that actually do suffer from schizophrenia? Good on ya. Bravo.
Martin Parlsh Cryar--
So it is funny making fun of people that actually do suffer from schizophrenia? Good on ya. Bravo.
....I'm not sure how to answer that, let me ask Martin.
Kshark...relax man. My mom has schizophrenia and you don't see me getting all sensitive. PC is making this world a very boring place to live. There are lot of screwed up things in the world...you gotta make light of them sometimes.
Kshark - Actually he's making fun of people with multiple-personality disorder, which is often confused with schizophrenia. But thanks for trying to be superior and condescending.
LMAO Martin....classic...
MJ causes changes in in the mind/body, that is why people enjoy it. That is no different from caffeine, alcohol or nicotine. MJ should be avoided by some people, just like caffeine, and it doesn't make it inherently bad for all people.
Thank you jugdishe - absolutely right!! I have seen people with way too much caffeine behaving erratic as well.
Good post
Hey we are all American's here, (for the most part) why the yellow journalism, have you not read recent research and investigations by our own government agencies? Better do some homework before your boss finds out that current investigative laboratory research has concluded that marijuana can quite literally extend life itself while seemly acting as a psychotic symptoms buffer. For gods sake msnbc don't you do background checks on your news reporters before hiring them? Yellow journalism defines the content of this semi fabricated report of yours, that reminds me of news reported by the Russian Times online.
old old oldoldolodlodl, propaganda scare tactics!!!!!! I can't believe msnbc posted this retarded schizho article.... isn't it time we move passed reefer madness? I mean , wholly hell ,we all know tobacco , alcohol and obesity (mcdonalds BK) are the #1 killers in america.... not to mention, no one has ever died from cannabis. The American Medical Association also recognizes cannabis as a medicine. SOrry peeps, it's true, those of you who believe the propaganda need to wake up and smell the cannabis. The planet I live on holds cannabis as a medicine for schizophrenia.
Has anyone asked themselves WHY they keep regurgitating propaganda like this? First you have to ask why was cannabis made illegal in the first place, then you will be enlightened.
"those of you who believe the propaganda need to wake up and smell the cannabis." - tintala
Do you mean "wake and bake?"
SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE--EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!
For the real account of why marijuana was made illegal see, "The Emperor Wears No Clothes" By Jack Herer. but it looks like we're all preaching to the choir around here. I wonder if the author even bothers to read the comments.
To MSNBC: Stupid article folks, lets do some real journalism and research the one plant that can give us the promised energy independence we deserve.
Bankers fraud,coal miners dead, toyota cars deadly gulf of mexico.11 dead No Charges filed.Tobacco alcohol Hey it's all good......POT BAD!!!
Just as with cigarettes, the users will protest until their very end, that marijuana is not harmful and, just as with cigarettes, the cost to society to treat the monumental damage they are doing to their physical and mental health will be an equally monumental burden. However, just as with cigarettes and to the same extent with alcohol, a large number of this society have chosen to use marijuana and it is not worth the time, trouble, or resources to try and save them from their own stupidity.
Let those who choose to use MJ deal with the consequences and then all you have to do is mind your own business
Ron Adolph marijuana is nothing like cigarettes they are two completely different substances.
Your attempt to link the harmful effects of cigarettes to marijuana = FAIL
It is not schizophrenia if they are trying to get you.
You're kidding right!?!? Who the heck didn't know that???????
Shocker: mind-altering drug negatively affects those with altered minds.
OK, so schizophrenics should stay off of MJ. Just like pregnant women should stay off of alcohol. But if Im not preggers I should be able to have a drink, and if Im not schizo I should eb able to smoke a bit. Deal?
We agree!

But it's bad for schizophrenics..... DAMN IT!!!!
very impressive, good work
Man (or chick--dont want to scroll WAY back up to find out) You have WAY to much time on your hands.
Im a little loaded right now and thats way too much to read...maybe you could post 1 link that leads to all these others?
Nice research, just a tip though. People tend not to read such long posts. Wizbang had it right lets just post a link to all so that more people will read the info
RT-36 - Damn dude, where were you when I was working on my research paper?! LOL
I appreciate the fact that this post just might educate some ignorant idiot out that is so against legalization simply because they do no know the facts...they just assume that because the gvmt says its bad it is!
The info is there if you'd like to read it. They are all from different sources. My suggestion is that you clip this article to your 'Vine page, and read it a little at a time.
I'm still reading...
Actually, a friend of mine posted this info here on the vine last year. I just retrieved it. Took me 30 seconds.
Probably high. ;-)
Or not...
Waaah.
Ron Adolf
The only one exhibiting stupidty would be you! Maybe this will help you better understand reality. Annual deaths caused by tobacco = 450,000 Annual deaths caused by alcohol = 85,000 Annual deaths caused by cannabis = 0. Additionally, marijauna has been shown to actually help alleviate medical conditions, pain and help create an appetite for cancer patients. Clearly marijuana does more good then harm and should be legalized in order to help free up more room in our overcrowded prisons for hard core thugs like muderers, rapists, and robbers.
Anything that can bring two such different people like Willie and Snoop together can't all be THAT bad now can it?
OMG i damn near fell out of my chair......lol good one
I've seen a show up here in Canada that also says there's a chemical in it thats good for schizophrenia.The higher the T.H.C. that's in the plant the less of the other chemical for schizophrenics it produces.The plant can only produce one or the other in high amounts
Well, glad I'm not a schizo. Time to toke up!
The article states some of those in the study where normal people, who smoked marijauna. That is a dubious statement. It is now known; the use of marijaina causes brain damage. It is not known if the damage if reversible. It cuases depression and greatly increases the likelihood of a psychotic break. This study found: using marijauna can cause an imbalance in brain chemistry; cause a fairly high number of people to develope schizophrenia. It would make more sense for society to legalize Russian roulete than to legalize marijauna.
haha, yeah a 6 day study told them all that...what a joke!
You guys need to look up the lastest AMA research, which coame out in the last year or so. Fact are facts. There is no reason to have a psychotic beark about it; unless, it the marijauna doing the talking.
R.O. apparently, like many who are illiterate when it comes to science, you fail to distinguish between correlation and causality. Look those words up.
The point has been made, elsewhere on this thread, that if you don't understand the mechanism, you can't understand causality. You can correlate anything you want to something else... you can look at how many schizophrenics once traded baseball cards. But, if the study showed that more than half of all schizophrenics once traded baseball cards, no one would, with a straight face, suggest that baseball card trading causes schizophrenia.
If a study found that fewer coffee drinkers have schizophrenia, that doesn't mean that coffee prevents schizophrenia. Do you get it now?
Marijuana helps to prevent my psychotic episodes. I have seen several doctors and not once did any of them say OMG you use marijuana that stuff will ruin you!
And many doctors will use marijuana to treat all kinds of things.
If certain people can increase their quality of life by using a little marijuana. Instead of popping a dozen pills a day. Then what the hell is the problem.
You can also use it when making homemade spaghetti sauce.
I wouldn't know about that I don't like spaghetti...But if the special spaghetti is any thing like the special brownies you might have the next great sensation on your hands LOL :P
The fact, used to creat the strawman you guys hope to use as a devise to ridicule the obvious, is correct. The outrageous lie in your ploy, is I made no such assertion. I only referred to data presented in this article or data previously present, without extrapolating any additional meaning to it. If one wished to extrapolate; it could be hypothesized, the age of the onset of most schizophrenia correlates to the age of the highest likelihood of experimentation of marijauna; which I do agree is meaningless. After setting up this meanless proposition, one could then content that it proved most schizophrenia might be caused by experimentation with marijauna. That is the type illogical logic used by many fanatics to put forward their delusional dogma. For myself, I abhor childish ploys.
You sir, have obviously not tried my spaghetti sauce.
Robin, before you claim no one has ever been harmed by MJ, better ask my cousin if he was harmed by it.
Oh, maybe you should also ask my mom...and me...and my sister and brother. My dad was also an addict who smoked. Don't know for sure if the weed had anything to do with it...
seen to much......what else was involved in the harm you feel you family endured....alcohol, perscriptions (which are far worse than this plant) or previous disposition....I would need actual proof that it was JUST MJ that caused your families issues as I know way to many VERY productive and upstanding people that have smoked for many years with NO issues until something else was added...mainly perscription meds. Just curious!
seen too much - I have to agree, cannabis CAN be harmful. It is NOT totally harmless. Now, that being said, it is LESS addictive than caffeine. It CAN become a source of DEPENDENCE for as many as 10% of users. But that dependence is far weaker than most physical addictions.
Other things humans can become 'dependent' upon: TV, Internet, exercise, food, gambling, SEX....should we outlaw these, and imprison their practitioners as well?
Look, I feel for your family's suffering. I lost my father to a drunk driver when I was 6, but the world would not be a better place if we chose to throw everyone who drinks in jail because some people can't handle it. Alcohol's Prohibition was just as big a failure nearly a century ago, as the "War on Drugs' has been for the last FORTY YEARS.
Hold people responsible for their actions that harm OTHERS, if what they do hurts no one else, nor does it significantly endanger others, then as an American, that is supposed to be their right. My life is my life, don't tell me how to live it. I'm doing a pretty good job without the nanny-stater interference, thank you.
As for my cousin, he told me it WAS just the MJ. As for my family, I never claimed it was JUST the MJ. My comment was directed at the commenter who claimed that MJ never ever hurt anyone, and I doubt he can support it.
As for RO Davis, How about some real "facts" with some sources to back them up.
Myth: Marijuana Kills Brain Cells. Used over time, marijuana permanently alters brain structure and function, causing memory loss, cognitive impairment, personality deterioration, and reduced productivity.
Fact: None of the medical tests currently used to detect brain damage in humans have found harm from marijuana, even from long term high-dose use. An early study reported brain damage in rhesus monkeys after six months exposure to high concentrations of marijuana smoke. In a recent, more carefully conducted study, researchers found no evidence of brain abnormality in monkeys that were forced to inhale the equivalent of four to five marijuana cigarettes every day for a year. The claim that marijuana kills brain cells is based on a speculative report dating back a quarter of a century that has never been supported by any scientific study.
and just for the benefit of seen too much, Your cousin was probably eiter lead to believe MJ was his/her downfall by a state paid therapist that they were court ordered to see, or the legal implications currently in effect regarding pot may have ruined their lives, otherwise this cousin is probably not telling you the whole truth; but because you don't give any facts to "support" your own accusations, I can only guess.
I don't know about the original poster your comment was directed to, but here is my "support it" if there was some other aspect involved that lead you to believe this cousin was damaged by pot and pot alone let me know and I will provide you with more facts, or you can get a clue and look yourself, the truth is out there, you just have to find it.
Myth: Marijuana's Harms Have Been Proved Scientifically. In the 1960s and 1970s, many people believed that marijuana was harmless. Today we know that marijuana is much more dangerous than previously believed.
Fact: In 1972, after reviewing the scientific evidence, the National Commission on Marihuana and Drug Abuse concluded that while marijuana was not entirely safe, its dangers had been grossly overstated. Since then, researchers have conducted thousands of studies of humans, animals, and cell cultures. None reveal any findings dramatically different from those described by the National Commission in 1972. In 1995, based on thirty years of scientific research editors of the British medical journal Lancet concluded that "the smoking of cannabis, even long term, is not harmful to health."
Just sharing what my cousin told me. He said his addiction to pot was his problem. I really don't know why you feel you need to say that he was "probably led to believe" this or is "probably not telling the whole truth" since you have never even met him and have NO evidence to back up those claims.
For these people alcohol has the same effect.
OH sheet lmao...tooo damn funny!
Schitso's are screwed up enough already, have you seen what too much SUGAR does to them???!!!!
Myth number one: Marijuana is not harmful.
Fact: Marijuana can wrack the body physically, mentally, and emotionally, and can be addictive.
Research continues to show that marijuana
• Impairs short-term memory,
• Distorts perception,
• Impairs judgment and complex motor skills,
• Alters the heart rate,
• Can lead to anxiety and panic attacks, and
• Can cause paranoia and lethargy.
And new research by Roger Roffman at the University of Washington and Robert Stephens at Virginia Polytechnic Institute shows the chokehold that marijuana can have on long-term users who try to quit.
Myth number two: Marijuana is not a serious crime.
Fact: It will get you a stiff sentence. Conviction for possessing 100 marijuana plants could get you 5 to 40 years in prison, without parole, under Federal mandatory minimum sentencing laws.
Fact: It could cost you a good job. More and more employers are withdrawing job offers tootherwise qualified individuals because they fail drug tests.
How does this compare to the legal substances such as alcohol and and tobacco? Do you believe these effects are worse than those of alcohol?
Number 2 is not a myth, it is true only because we as a country prohibit it. If we did not people would not have to worry about the things you mention here. Do you think that someone who uses MJ responsibly should be subject to this type of harassment?
If so then why not for alcohol as well?
Alocohol have rich lobbists.We have peaceful pot head's.
Being a recently retired soldier myself I do take offense to your comment. However I will chalk your comments up to stupidity and ignorance and will not hold you responsible for not having the respect your parents should have taught you when speaking of the very people who protect your rights and privileges you enjoy in this country.
My take on this is that if you want to remove yourself from this earth by slowly destroying your body through drug abuse it is not my place to stop you, however to prevent me from having to pay for your stupidity through future health care cost or for the harm you might possibly cause someone else while under the influence then let me show you a faster way to go. After 21 years of service to this country and the people in it I find it despicable that the NEW American way of life that I fought for is full of ignorant potheads that sit on the couch with their fat backsides and dulled brains eating a bag of chips and Twinkies holding down American progress rather than helping this country move forward.
Last I knew you were born choice and decision free so your life is of your own making. So instead of trying to hide in a clouded haze because you can't deal with the results of your own decision making process, how about standing up for yourself and start dealing with it. Instead of making excuses for yourself try making the place a better place to live for yourself and others around by dealing with the problems you made for yourself instead of putting your head in the sand. Stop being part of the problem
Freighttrain....You forgot to tell them to drop and give you 25. They need Obama kicking their dusty asses.
damn Freight Train, ride the bitter train much?
what Robin said is true and valid whether you take "offense" to it or not. the government KNEW agent orange was bad and still acted like there was nothing wrong for many years. a very good family friend just died from complications due to orange poisoning and at least he knew where to place the blame. our government and their @!$%#ty idea of protecting their own ass.
guess what? that man, my father and many of my family serve/served this country in the military and each and every one of them cannot understand for the life of them why pot has not been legalized yet. you obviously seem to have control issues and cannot just relax and live and let live. are these pot heads hurting you? no. so put on your big boy panties, shut the hell up and grow up you pompous ass!
none of that is true, its just propaganda.
Hey Freight Train, judgmental much? I get it, you don't like potheads. Well I don't care for your misrepresentaton of the typical cannabis aficionado. Yes, there is some truth in stereotypes, there ARE folks who live in their parents basements in perpetuity, there are losers and such who use pot.
But believe it or not, these folks are the exception. Most of the folks I know who partake are successful, professional, intelligent, driven and capable folks who simply like to relax with a different substance than alcohol or tobacco. I myself have a lovely wife, beautiful kids, decent house, 6 figure job, a few cars, a couple of motorcycles, 4.0 GPA as I advance my education, and have lost 100 pounds over the last two years. It's too bad I'm such a waste of space couch potato that uses pot.
The demonization, vilification and incarceration of cannabis aficionados must come to an end! The VAST majority of us are hard-working, tax-paying, home-owning, college-educated, child-rearing American CITIZENS who don't want to get drunk and fall down, or beat our wives or kids, or kill someone (like my father) when drunk behind the wheel.
Alcohol KILLS 75,000 Americans a year, and addicts 15%
Tobacco KILLS 450,000 Americans a year, and addicts 30%
Cannabis kills ZERO Americans a year (safer than aspirin!), and cause cause dependence in 10% of users. Cannabis is less physically addictive than caffeine (please feel free to investigate/verify my claims, the truth is out there if you bother to look for it).
26 MILLION Americans used cannabis in the last year. That's nearly 1 in 10 adults. You probably know many, and have no idea, because they must hide it from you. We're not all stupid loafers, many of us are major contributors to this country, the economy, and society. You like music? Without pot, throw away about HALF.
I pity you for your disdain for potheads. You have made it painfully obvious you have no idea what you are talking about. None. Do yourself a favor and stop talking, you can only embarrass yourself further. WHEN cannabis is legalized, and the Earth doesn't implode, will you even be able to admit your arrogance and ignorance?
Hey Freight Train, I just realized where I have seen all these symptoms before
• Impairs short-term memory,
• Distorts perception,
• Impairs judgment and complex motor skills,
• Alters the heart rate,
• Can lead to anxiety and panic attacks, and
• Can cause paranoia and lethargy.
Happens every time my son meets a pretty girl. Maybe that means we should immediately outlaw mingling of the sexes, OH but in that case you better get used to Sharia law.
Also, Marijuana isn't a serious crime, but it is TREATED as a serious crime. A disparity that educated, intelligent people are trying to change; imagine that, REAL change you can believe in!

Sorry buddy, but if it is about drugs and says .gov, it is likely a lie. You are referring to the original creators of Reefer Madness propaganda machine.
