<---- not a smot poker... never even tried the garbage.... And for those Idiots who claim its not bad for you becouse its natural....go smoke some Sumac or go lick a Golden dart frog......

Hey asshat, people don't claim weed isn't bad for you because it's natural, weed isn't bad for you because... it isn't bad for you. Fuck natural or not, it's irrelevant, simple fact is compared to any other recreational activities, from swimming to dirt-bike riding to stamp collecting to horse riding etc, smoking pot is easily one of the least harmful of the bunch, and guess what, it's considered by many to be more enjoyable.

Marijuana contains no toxins or carcinogens, is non-addictive, does not impair long-term memory, causes no cardiovascular problems, causes no brain damage and has never been directly linked to the death of ANYONE, EVER.

Compare that to the 5000 direct overdoses caused by alcohol each year...

Driving while impaired, for example, is not a product of marijuana or any other substance, it is the product of idiocy. Being impaired does not cause impaired driving, choosing to drive while impaired does.

Also, the rates of marijuana caused motor vehicle accidents are exceptionally low in comparison to mundane stimuli like distracting music and imagery or cell phones... you're more likely to crash staring at boobs that being stoned.

You might want to at least do a tiny bit of research before you let all that bullshit dribble out of your brain and onto your keybaord.

[Xyster]

Oh so driving impaired all of a sudden has nothing to do with Marijuana?!? agreed it is Idiotic to drive while im paired but thats the thing about being impaired judgement goes out the window and your more likely to do stupid stuff. so "more likely" all of a sudden means it dont happen ?!? Tell that to my uncle the was T boned couple years back oh wait you cant cuz hes dead.... Fuckn stoned POS ran a red light. And there are other side effects that crop up from the use of marujuana though granted you may never exspirence any side effects if you are an occasional smoker.. just like if you have a touch of wine with dinner its actually good for you...

Ive done my research on side effects and such and no its not harmless by any means...

sorry if im a bit touchy when it comes to such sheot .. but im sure you can understand

There are other issues that come with smoking pot that the people with the agenda to get it legalized try to counter much in the way the church tries to pass creationisum as science. But it IS bad for you !!! I dont care if people want to do it in the privacy of there own home and then STAY there no biggie, but it dont always happen like that. I also have a problem with people who wanna wear it like some god damn merrit badge of pride that they smoke it...fuckn stoopid...

Ive known a few of my dads friends that are hard core smokers and if you wanna turn out like them feel free....

Oh so driving impaired all of a sudden has nothing to do with Marijuana?!?

I never said that, marijuana is one of many possible impairments that can be experienced while driving, however that has nothing to do with the chemical properties of the drug - Marijuana is in no way the cause of impaired driving.

It is more productive and realistic to blame the driver for the indiscretion, as opposed to targeting the substance.

agreed it is Idiotic to drive while im paired but thats the thing about being impaired judgement goes out the window and your more likely to do stupid stuff.

Weed does not effect your judgement in that regard, it does not make you take spontaneous actions at the cost of rational thought, it is if anything more likely to make you reconsider driving, out of paranoia or lack of confidence. The only potential impairment would be to reaction times and distractions, but as I already pointed out, mundane stimuli is a more common cause of road accidents that marijuana impairment.

so "more likely" all of a sudden means it dont happen ?!?

No, it means that compared to EXPECTED distractions on the road, marijuana impairment is relatively unlikely to cause an accident. Unless you want to remove music, billboards and sexy women etc from being potentially distracting during driving you are being entirely hypocritical in your attitude towards weed.

Tell that to my uncle the was T boned couple years back oh wait you cant cuz hes dead.... Fuckn stoned POS ran a red light.

And you blame weed? I'm sorry for your loss, but your angst is misplaced. Marijuana did not make that person run a red light, He chose to drive while impaired... There is a huge difference between the two statements.

And there are other side effects that crop up from the use of marujuana though granted you may never exspirence any side effects if you are an occasional smoker.. just like if you have a touch of wine with dinner its actually good for you...

I am a consistent smoker, many of my friends are, many of the most successful, intelligent, motivated and responsible people I know are, none of them display these so called 'negative effects' at all. Not only that but the most comprehensive research to date on marijuana finds the negative effects to be trivial. Even organisations such as the AMA have recommended the decriminalisation of weed,

Ive done my research on side effects and such and no its not harmless by any means...

No you haven't, you've pulled this all out of your ass.

Everything in life is a risk assessment, and on a scale of the risk inherent in decisions you are likely to make, smoking marijuana is beyond mundane.

You have an avatar of a car, looks fast, i'm assuming you like racing? Even sanctioned car racing is more dangerous to the health of the individual involved and all present witnesses, yet I bet you aren't anti formula 1...

You're a giant hypocrite.

sorry if im a bit touchy when it comes to such sheot .. but im sure you can understand

That's no excuse for losing perspective and misplacing blame. I have lost 2 good friends to drunk driving - i'm not anti alcohol, i'm anti drunk-driving.

Xyster, you make it sound like every person who smokes pot is some burn out, like your dad's friends,.....

Pot is a lesser of the legal evils in concerns with health.....Of course we know alcohol and tobacco or worse....So is excessive exercising, T.V., milk, fatty foods, etc. etc.

However, just from what I have read of your posts about Cannabis, it sounds like something more personal than anything else.

I could give a shit about you not ever wanting to smoke pot, but keep your thoughts in mind in concerns with pot, when you decide to sky dive, fuck someone without a condemn, eat a hamburger, over indulge in anything available, for that matter... No more no less.....

"Cause the No's don't count.

"If so, how much?" was the question.

Oh, dur. Didn't notice the wording of the question.

Sorry about your uncle, but I think you are full of shit. So does the NHSTA as well as other research institutions.

A 1983 study by the US National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) used stoned drivers on simulators, and concluded that the only statistically significant effect associated with marijuana use was slower driving.

A comprehensive 1992 study by the NHTSA found that marijuana is rarely involved in driving accidents, except when combined with alcohol. It concluded that "the THC-only drivers had an [accident] responsibility rate below that of the drug free drivers. While the difference was not statistically significant, there was no indication that cannabis by itself was a cause of fatal crashes." This study was buried for six years and not released until 1998.

Another NHTSA study performed in 1993 dosed Dutch drivers with THC and tested them on real Dutch roads. It concluded that "THC's adverse effects on driving performance appear relatively small."

A massive 1998 study by the University of Adelaide and Transport South Australia analyzed blood samples from 2,500 accidents, and found that drivers with cannabis in their system were actually slightly less likely to cause accidents than those without.

A University of Toronto study released in March 1999 found that moderate pot users typically refrained from passing cars and drove at a more consistent speed than non-users.

I personally know several self-made millionaires that smoke, so what's the point of your anecdote?

[Autumnlicious]

Nothing like a logical human being acting completely irrational - I may hate a lot of what religion does, but if I get into a conversation about it, at least I don't lose my head unlike you, Xyster, over a stupid green plant that people consume.

If you're so against it because of safety, might I interest you in being anti-alcohol, anti-driving, anti-swimming as it is statistically more likely to die or injure someone else from those than marijuana. Or are you just a big hypocrite?
