Should Marijuana Be Legal

[dos mes]

If our high from bud you wont hurt people. It isn't a depressant like alcohol, it has nothing that would turn you into a violent person. And it calms most people down. Everyone wouldn't be crazy. They'd be focused and then maybe this world would work the way it should.

[halobuddha]

but the thing is its not legal now and still kids that are really young manage to get a hold of it

[xXxCocoFangxXx]

Ya you are right. It does calm people down a lot.

[halobuddha]

what i mean is like bad decisions say wether or not to drive whilst high

[dos mes]

You'd be less likely to get in an accident than most people.

[halobuddha]

i dont know ive never been high b4 so i wouldn't know

[xXxCocoFangxXx]

But some people might not know that they are getting in a car. Getting high can mess you up.

[dos mes]

Not if it's pot. It all depends on what your high with. Your mixing to many other drugs side effects with that of some mari jay.

[Warbandit mk 3]

It's a leagal death poisen, no. It's not as bad as meth, but drugs are worse than cigaretts.

[xXxCocoFangxXx]

Well we are talking about pot here so that is the drug I am talking about.

[halobuddha]

[xXxCocoFangxXx]

Effects of Marijuana on the Brain:

Researchers have found that THC changes the way in which sensory information gets into and is acted on by the hippocampus. This is a component of the brain's limbic system that is crucial for learning, memory, and the integration of sensory experiences with emotions and motivations. Investigations have shown that neurons in the information processing system of the hippocampus and the activity of the nerve fibers are suppressed by THC. In addition, researchers have discovered that learned behaviors, which depend on the hippocampus, also deteriorate.

Recent research findings also indicate that long-term use of marijuana produces changes in the brain similar to those seen after long-term use of other major drugs of abuse.


Effects on the Lungs:

Someone who smokes marijuana regularly may have many of the same respiratory problems that tobacco smokers have. These individuals may have daily cough and phlegm, symptoms of chronic bronchitis, and more frequent chest colds. Continuing to smoke marijuana can lead to abnormal functioning of lung tissue injured or destroyed by marijuana smoke.

Regardless of the THC content, the amount of tar inhaled by marijuana smokers and the level of carbon monoxide absorbed are three to five times greater than among tobacco smokers. This may be due to the marijuana users inhaling more deeply and holding the smoke in the lungs.



Effects on Heart Rate and Blood Pressure:

Recent findings indicate that smoking marijuana while shooting up cocaine has the potential to cause severe increases in heart rate and blood pressure. In one study, experienced marijuana and cocaine users were given marijuana alone, cocaine alone, and then a combination of both. Each drug alone produced cardiovascular effects; when they were combined, the effects were greater and lasted longer. The heart rate of the subjects in the study increased 29 beats per minute with marijuana alone and 32 beats per minute with cocaine alone. When the drugs were given together, the heart rate increased by 49 beats per minute, and the increased rate persisted for a longer time. The drugs were given with the subjects sitting quietly. In normal circumstances, an individual may smoke marijuana and inject cocaine and then do something physically stressful that may significantly increase risks of overload on the cardiovascular system.



i just don't see how it's not as harmful as ciggarettes. then again, they do both kill you... meh, i've been against pretty much every form of "light this on fire and suck on it" to the point where i'll never do it.

So? Let people choose for themselves. It's like cigarettes. if you outlaw it, people will just keep doing it. Again, i personally don't practice this, but I think it should be up to the users to decide.

I hate illeagal drugs, I wouldn't do them if I was given $50,000 dollars, what kind of crazy moron would craft them micro killers? Serously if you do drugs you better find some other solution to your emotional instability than drown it out in plant made inhalents.

In-correct.
People do get violent from it. Very violent.

I was at a local skatepark once and some stoners came out of the bushes.
All but one looked a little worried, the 'one' was going insanley mad.
Started on about three guys, nearly hit his 'girlfriend' and then of course the people in the skatepark drew attention to him.
He then noticed and started going off at everyone and was screaming he would start on everyone. Everyone being about 20 people.

He then continued on to start tearing/kicking out a water founatin of the ground and then eventually pissed off.

Yes i know what its like my old friends do it, but if you made weed legal imagine all the trouble it would cause mass shipping and selling. And yes street weed is bad for you they grow it in buckets of chemicals.
