interesting stats

It took me until well into my 30's to try it..ended up just falling asleep. Booze, makes me loud and mouthy.

yes i second that, i'm a frequent cannabis user and i dont act like an activist, sadly theres a big part of stoners that ruin legalization by their lifestyle, people that wants this legalized but wont contribute to anything in the country they're located

More pothead propaganda. Of course they aren't studies or statistics correlating marijuana to death and cancer like there is for alcohol. Alcoholism is a disease, and yes it's worse for you. When someone dies from an alcohol related disease it's easy to correlate the source.

Here is my rant to those who think smoking weed is healthy, because "no one died from it".

When someone dies of lung cancer who's been smoking weed for 10 years, no doctor correlates the source. Inhaling marijuana in-general deteriorates your health in many aspects, but no doctor is going to say his official death was from smoking weed. When someone inhales carbon dioxide for 10 years and dies of a heart attack, again, no one correlates it to weed although it could have been the primary cause.

Don't let these "statistics" cloud your judgment. Don't let hearsay cloud your judgment either, I had a grandparent who smoked cigarettes and drank everyday of his life and lived to be 81. That doesn't mean you will.

Here are the FACTS about marijuana. Not opinions of whether they are bad or good for you, just factual data of what it contains and it's basic effect.

Increased heart rate, lowered blood pressure. Smoke a bowl then check your pulse and blood pressure.

Marijuana SMOKE contains 3 times as much tar as a cigarette. Yeah, that thick black sticky resin that accumulates in your bowl didn't fall from the sky.

Marijuana smoke contains carbon dioxide.

Those are the FACTS, I'm not going to go into studies, or hearsay. Nothing will kill you in moderation, but if you smoke all day, everyday and think it's "healthy" you're in for a wake up call.

In 10-15 years you'll wake up an anti-social, delusional, paranoid, out-of-shape parasite who can't run a block without gasping for air. :) Oh yeah, I still see buddies of mine that never quit smoking weed after high school. They're losers. Every single one of them. There is a little propaganda for you.

If you factor in alcohol related vehicular accidents, alcohol-fueled murders, plus alcohol related diseases etc it kinda makes sense.

WTF is wrong with me..:1orglaugh I said carbon dioxide twice, what I meant was CARBON MONOXIDE!

Seeing as how no one has ever died from smoking too much weed, I'm wondering how they calculated the fatal dosage.

You can create any kind of stats to support anything.

Right. So no musicians, doctors, psychologists, athletes, teachers smoke weed?

If you're a loser, it's not weed's fault.

There aren't any.

It's virtually impossible to overdose on MJ(IIRC, takes something like 1000 lbs? I'd have to look.. but it's retarded high.. pun intended), and since it mostly helps with cancer... wellllllllllll :winkwink:

I'm sure there are some where a kid smoked an ounce and ran his car off of a cliff, but I'd attribute that to stupidity. :1orglaugh

50 pot smokers :)

i heard alco is on 4 place

thats what i was thinking, everyone must be high as balls wondering around over there

:1orglaugh Nice spot.

Like I said, anything moderation is okay.

i'll pass on that!

I think anything is better than alcohol. Dont get me wrong, I enjoy a drink every now and then, but I would MUCH rather deal with a pot head than an alcoholic

Same in NYC even though it's not all that legal to do so there. :1orglaugh

I have yet to see A TRULY ANGRY person on pot (and pot only). Alcohol, on the other hand, is another story entirely. Sheesh.

really interesting stats in here...

I partake of the reefer on occasion

I agree, with the caveat that ANY substance when abused will end up being bad for you. Drink too much water and you're gonna suffer from Hyponatremia and it can be fatal.

The question is, if pot's side effects are milder than alcohol's, why is it still illegal?

Why are people being sent to jail for what is basically a version of getting drunk? Why let criminal elements control what can be a significant source of revenue for the government, just like alcohol when prohibition was in effect?

If you like to smoke.....Vaporize. Try the silver surfer.

Interesting stuff )

First of all, I think marijuana should be legalized.

Marijuana is apart of the controlled substances act due to being perceived as an addictive drug the same as narcotics. People have become comfortable with the status quo for nearly a century on the federal ban on marijuana. Unfortunately, bans like that aren't changed without overwhelming support.

There is no denying your argument is compelling. However, advocates for the legalization of marijuana haven't been able to present a case to overturn a ban that's existed for so long. To a lot of the general public the image of a marijuana user is a loser who risks being arrested so that he or she can create a euphoric high. Unfortunately those people aren't taken seriously, especially by lawmakers.

I know that sounds incredibly ignorant, but it IS the unfortunate reality. For example, if a couple was hiring a babysitter they wouldn't frown upon someone who enjoys a few drinks on the weekend. However, replace that with someone who indulges in marijuana that person is automatically perceived as irresponsible.

There is also a lot of false propaganda that Marijuana cures diseases and that it has no side effects. We spend a lot of money telling people to "drink responsibly" and that cigarettes cause cancer.

A false perception that you can get high all day with no consequences is a battle nobody wants to take on. Just look at this thread. While Marijuana is not as bad as alcohol, the fact is, most users are in complete denial that it is unhealthy. They will argue to the death that it is perfectly healthy and it has no negative side effects. When in-fact many users who make that argument grossly abuse the drug from morning to night 7 days a week with a lifestyle that revolves around the use of marijuana.

For those reasons I don't marijuana will ever be legalized here.

Smoking anything is bad for your lungs.

i think my overall point was alcohol related deaths are huge, marijuana deaths are almost non-existent

perhaps the weed mixed in makes it safer


harmless? , no , less harmfull than hundreds of everyday legal things we use ? yes

I don't tell people how to drink coffee , eat salt , or eat sugar , even though all of them are harmfull

WEED... 12 former presidents can't be wrong

"“Some of my finest hours have been spent on the back of my veranda, smoking hemp and observing as far as the eye can see."

Thomas Jefferson 1781

Which Founding Father was holding the bong?

Depending on how things went during some stupid law making, we could all be smoking joints over dinner instead of having beer or wine. If you try to tell that to someone who is against weed, they can't even fathom the situation. Weed has an undeserved stigma, and i have no idea where that started.

When Satan takes a piss, milk comes out. Milk is pure evil.

smoke= tar= cancer

LOL you're an idiot.

Let me guess you are one of those people who compares peoples "failures" to your "success". You are on a porn webmaster board. Do you know how many people would equate you to a loser?

What makes them "losers"? Because they are not like you?

you sound like a great friend!

I know many successful people who smoke weed.

Do you know how I know you are a loser? You equate your life position with your buddies from high school.

I can also bet the majority of your friends NOW are work "friends".

Yeah accidents from smoking pot, ZERO, you get stoned and don't want to drive!

You may cause road rage by driving so !@$# slow.

US Govt. tortures me with Gamma Ray LASER pain beams if I smoke a cigarette.

Can't wait to go underground and have a bucket bong after 10 years.

They couldn't find any!

Metaman at his finest!

The old billionaires laugh at the multi millionaires flying in jets. The jet owners laugh at the guys who just got their first ferrari. The guys in the ferrari laugh at the ballers in their benzes. The benz owners laugh at the lexus drivers, the lexus drivers laugh at the regular cars and then they laugh at the bike riders.

The winners of course are those who don't play this silly status game. Spending your life chasing the life of someone who is not you is a waste of a life.
