you can lose your life to MJ. it's insidious. you start smoking and suddening ten years later you look up and say what happeden to the past decade?

Most of you people are ridiculously stupid, marijuana can become addicting from the feeling it gives users, it has been proven to cause brain damage and even psychological problems, and it ***** with your heart big time. Plus it honestly makes people look like retards when they are using, nobody can actually expect to be successful in this world by using pot all the time. I hope that its never legalized.

hahahha

YDI IT FOR SMOKING WEEDS. Seriously dude? Marijuana is sooo bad for you it gives you cancer and if you share joints you could get all sorts of STDs even AIDS. Scientists have already proven that every time you take a hit of the Devil's tobacco, 1 percent of your brain dies. That means a hundred hits would make you completely retarded and turn you into a vegetable! Also in a recent study they found that it's up to three times worse than smoking meth! Finally is it a coincidence that OJ smoked a joint before he killed Nicole and Ron Goldman? I think not. But who knows, I'm high as hell!

What an idiot you never assume or confess anything until someone actully points the finger to you prick

NICE! not.

To whom it may concern: watch the documentary "The Union: The Business Behind Getting High" and "Waiting to Inhale" The inhalation of smoke does in fact irritate the lungs, but that goes without saying as you're breathing in plant matter, similar to tobacco. Yet marijuana-only smokers have a lessened chance of developing cancer than non-smokers of any sort. Tobacco obviously increases the risk of developing cancer. Vaporizing, using water filtration (bongs), or extracted THC from marijuana eliminates any damage to the lungs, rendering it safe. These statements are EASILY confirmed by researching various reports, conducted by both independent AND U.S. government researchers. Most notably, the Shafer Report, was commissioned by President Nixon in 1972, and founded that under proper medical guidance, marijuana was an acceptable medicine and yielded few negative effects. For those who want to argue about cannabis being a gateway drug -- nonsense. People are led to assume that those who have smoked marijuana are more likely to try harder drugs, such as cocaine, heroin, PCP, Ketamine, MDMA/Ecstasy, etc. Well, under the United States' prohibition of marijuana, this is true. Those who want marijuana have to buy it illegally, except in California where it is medically legal, going through criminal channels in order to purchase it from the same people who MIGHT be dealing the "harder" drugs. So, as a result of the legality, it is a gateway drug. The same thing happened with the prohibition of alcohol in 1920-1933, there was an increase in crime, plummet in gross national income, and advance of using harder drugs. But now alcohol is legal, there are less problems, and fewer people ever get turned on to those more infamous substances. There's obviously medicinal use for cannabis, too, which is well-explored in Waiting to Inhale. Such uses include treating anorexia, insomnia, glaucoma, multiple sclerosis, cancer/chemo therapy, wasting in AIDS patients, menstrual cramps, migraines, asthma (believe it!) and hundreds of other conditions or diseases. Marijuana can treat pain that opiates cannot, with virtually no physical dependence, and for fractions of the coast. Sure, it might be habituating, but marijuana is easy to give up. Tobacco smokers, or alcohol drinkers, cannot claim the same. Also, there are no deaths directly attributed to marijuana usage. We've already covered that cancer is no issue with this, and there is no possible way to overdose on marijuana: it would take an equivalent of 15,000 joints in 20 minutes in order to absorb a lethal dose of THC, the active ingredient in marijuana. Marijuana is safe. If there are any other questions of claims against this, I will gladly answer or explain these statements, or supplement them with the proper credentials and information.

And this is the proof of how pot kills your brain cells.

Well said. You go #80. :)

I always find it funny when people say pot smokers are not successful. I'll remember to tell that to the next aeronautical engineer I work with. Steve Jobs loves lsd and look at how successful he is: he made Apple Computers. Big successful tokers I could list off right now would be Bill Mayer and Ted Turner. Have any replies naysayers ? I bet if you were born in the 30s, you would still believe African-Americans were subhumans. You simply believe what you are told. America doesn't do a good job of getting the truth on anything, instead we get more propaganda than anything.
