I sorry to hear about them, but don't entirly blame a drug for ruining someone's life. There are drugs around everyone, it only gets people who allow themselevs to be fucked(for lack of a better term) So thier ignorance was more there downfall then the drug. It's the same music movie made me commit suicide arugment. If your smart enough you know whats going on. You have a handle on what your doing, you have th strength of mind to avoid things taking control.

Edit: sorry for the doublr post I thought someone responed in the middle.
 
You do realize that all of that happened, not because of a drug, but because they were irresponsible people, right? A non-addictive drug didn't cause them to do that... You're placing the blame on the drug, when it belongs on the people. If that ignorant oversimplification is fine with you, they hey, never bother learning about these drugs you claim to understand. (but don't) It's much easier to say "oh, he was a good kid, he just got messed up in drugs" than it is to realize the truth and say "well, he was a good kid, but he wasn't responsible enough to handle his own life, and ended up being foolish enough to commit suicide because of his (fixable) mistakes." Nobody wants to hear or admit that their friend/significant other/child was wrong... but they're quick to make outlandish claims that some non-addictive, non-lethal drug killed them.

I've been smoking weed on and off for a little over 10 years. In that time I've graduated both high school and college, and held many professional jobs, including a 5 year enlistment in the US Army. Marijuana has never gotten in the way of my life or responsibilities, and when I couldn't smoke I didn't. Moderation and self respect/will power isn't something everyone has. But you can't blame a drug for people's short comings; they could've done the same thing with alcohol, which is completely legal, addictive and exponentially more deadly than marijuana.

All I'm saying is, if you don't understand the effects of a drug, and you obviously don't, then don't make false comments about it.

By the way, I'm sorry to hear about your friends, and sorry if I came off as being crass.
 
Someone always has to take it to the extremes.

Let me try that with alcohol: You get really drunk and you pick a fight with a guy. He gets all his mates who end up putting you in hospital. You spend the rest of your life drinking, eating, and shitting through straws. Dont drink booze! :O
 
As a matter of fact "weed culture" does appear to suck overwhelmingly.Some want the whole fucking world to understand that they are smoking weed, big deal assholes.Anyone can smoke weed, what the fuck are you demonstrating by wearing a marijuana t-shirt?That pisses me off, and also people acting as if they are stoned all the time.That, however, disappears with age, if not then you are dealing with a retard.Personally I smoke weed, but I don't make a big deal out of it.

Oh and btw weed can trigger schizofrenia, so make sure you have a health insurance, because at your 40th birthday you may recieve an unexpected present.
 
Here in Alabama, well, some parts now, marijuana is a minor offence, constituting only a citation or minor ticket. This is due mainly to overcrowding in our prisons. In the town I lived in, Columbiana, they were releasing violent criminals to make more room for minor drug offences. Well, this created a whole hoopla, so they reevaluated their policy, and are now basically decriminalizing small amounts of pot to leave room for the meth heads, another drug that is making a huge impact down here. Yay. I dont have to fear for my life every time I go pick up a quarter sack.
 
That is incorrect. Heavy marijuana use can create short term schizophrenia-like symptoms, but it does not cause schizophrenia itself. That study was also inconclusive.
 
This study is focusing on short-term schizophrenia, which is stupid.What I'm saying is that it can cause schizophrenia at a later stage.It may take 20-30 years, I don't know, but latest medical studies carried out before the release of Abilify (the latest schizophrenia control drug), showed that this is possible and happening already.Furthermore it doesn't matter if you smoke tons of weed, or you've just smoked once in your lifetime, the risks are the same.

That article mentions nothing about long term effects. It also seems very inconclusive and limited in scope.

Here's a surprise: most people smoke marijuana!

Like I said, there has been no conclusive evidence of long term effects or actual clinical psychosis stemming from marijuana use. It's all theory right now, and inconclusive ones at that.



By the way, do you have something against placing spaces between your sentences?
 
You can spend a lifetime in prison for 1-2 grams of weed, last time I smoked with a friend, we got chased by a cop and we ran like hell.

junglizm, personally I think there is a real risk, but I don't care much about it.After all in 20 years all sorts of things can happen, I can even be dead, who cares.
 
I seriously doubt that marijuana can have long term adverse effect such as schizophrenia. Not only do I personally know dozens of people that have smoked pot since the sixtees, but the logic is obviously flawed. For all we know those people had a genetic defect that led to schizophrenia. That is the problem with a hypothesis such as this, it is literally impossible to have a perfect control. I don't know to any certainty, but in my opinion this is a seemingly DEA sponsored study with little to no merit.
 
I won't argue that there is a risk involved with smoking marijuana; smoking anything is obviously bad on our respiratory systems. However, I don't think we can accurately state that marijuana causes clinical psychosis just yet. Maybe it does, but that's yet to be seen. Keep in mind that past studies have indicated that marijuana use actually reduces the risk of mental illness. Maybe they're wrong, but maybe not.

Personally, I don't care up until the point that it's widely known to cause such illnesses. I already smoke tobacco and we all have to die of something, right? I might as well enjoy the time I have here.
I doubt that, although I do think these results seem skewed. I don't know enough about these diseases, or their stimuli, to accurately say though. I do know this though, the effects of ingesting marijuana are a whole lot different from those of inhalation.
