as joe rogan says, "in a room with 10 people, 7 will be idiots." this applies to potheads too. just because stupid people smoke pot doesnt mean pot makes you stupid. secondly, if you think about it... not to knock christians specifically, but... if you are a christian and for the drug war agains weed... you are a hypocrite. if you believe in god then you must assume he doesnt make mistakes. he put pot here and every attempt to eradicate it is saying that god made a mistake, lets get rid of it. much like killing a whale just cuz they're tasty. to eradicate pot is to tell god... dude you made a mistake. just my opinion. |

okay, i smoke weed at least once a week so i am not anti, but i think that a couple of points need to be brought up  .- as for the god thing, well, whatever you creator you believe in also created hemlock and belladonna, which i doubt that you would want to ingest, so, i suspect that blows that argument ;p. - according to cosmos magazine (australia, 1996), the mind-slowing effects are completely reversed if you stop for two months, even for people who have smoked weed every day for twenty years! which is obviously better than alcohol or tobacco. my doctor did tell me that it contains a lot of lung damaging chemicals and looked amused when i thought that i was being good to my lungs when i gave up tobacco - apparently weed is almost as bad for the lungs. i guess it's less damaging because you generally smoke less pot than tobacco, and you can smoke pot though a bong or vapouriser. don't know about the medicinal effects of weed, kiwi weed certainly doesn't relieve my nausea, headaches or back pain on the rare occasions that i get those things. it does stop me from being a total bi-atch when pmsing though and it chills out my cat :d. |

lol. if you define "every religion" as the three you know about and "every society" as america then maybe you are right. however given the fact that one of the religions you are talking about gives an incredibly dangerous substance which is responsible for more deaths and injuries per year than any other to its worshipers in the midst of a religion ceremony ... well you aren't exactly on the money. |

alcohol is far far worse for your health than weed.. if you think otherwise you are obviously either an alcoholic or retarded the number of known side effects of alcohol... here's a nice list: ht tp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/alcohol_consumption_and_health (take a look through the little list at the top right) so you can compare: ht tp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/health_issues_and_the_effects_of_cannabis i rest my case. |

it's amusing to me how the stupid comments come from the apparent non-smokers, such as loudsavlon, i mean really, who eats forks?!?! or minotaur, who can't think of an intelligent argument so just starts swearing, and all the so-called "stoned fuckwits" are the ones coming up with the intelligent arguments such as theghostwhowalks and gutterdog2. maybe you should try it minotaur? it might make you a little more open minded and friendly rather than being a preachy asshole. |

i was hoping this would be released. i've been wanting to see it. as for the argument... when alcohol and cigarettes start having medical uses like cannabis does, we'll start talking. |

i'm with the pro mj group. i know if you legalize pot it would peobably reduce deaths on the roadway significantly. due to people switching from alchol to pot. and yes the goverment could make a killing in taxes and shore up social security. |

instead of paying 30 billion on the war on drugs. maybe the us government could make that kind of money. besides, does anyone know how many deaths are related to alcohol? i can assure you it is a lot more than cause by pot, even if it where legal. |

(dmfaust, you beat me to it. that was a cogent response.) anyway, good for you, dunlap. i'll rest easy knowing that one of the best employees at mcdonalds is often times "prety fucking stoned." i'll also be sure to tip you an extra quid the next time i happen to order my super-sized-full-of- transfat-fries at your workplace. you say you're "healthy, reliable and intelligent"? it's all relative (i'm sure you are...when compared to a poo- flinging monkey.) ;-) all this *weed vs. cigs/alcohol* is kinda like saying, 'death by gunshot to the head is better than death by strangulation.' the point is they're all unhealthy and pose a psysiologically and psychologically detrimental effect when compared to control groups. and to the previous posters. i just want to point out that the effects of weed are not as thoroughly researched as the effects of cigs/alco. there are also too many confounding factors in current research to make such brash statements. i'm all for legalization, but my reasons are quite different. the arguments stated thus far are ridiculously simple-minded and uninformed. |

dmfaust, i'd stick by that statement. you must have imagined that little incident with your brother, or else he took something else with the weed. the ld-50 of thc is over 12 times the ld-50 of nicotine, and how many people do you know who die from smoking too many cigarettes at one time? in fact, the lethal dose of marijuana is roughly 30,000 times the amount required to become maximally stoned. so, unless your brother smoked several hundred thousand dollars of marijuana in a very short time span, he didn't need to go anywhere except to bed. in fact, there have never in the history of mankind been any conclusive evidence that anyone has ever died from the ingestion of marijuana alone. |

by "funky weed" i think he means laced with something. my weed's never been laced but it does happen and has happened to a friend of mine. i smoked 4-5 grams once on a depressing day and have heard of ppl doing double that, if not more. you get really high and nothing more. there is no way your bro went to hospital for smoking mj alone, no other factors involved. and yes i agree with dunlap, i have seen people get into fights while being drunk plenty of times but never while stoned. so this leaves it being bad for your health and occasionally giving people schizophrenia, of course both bad things but they don't harm other people. surely what i(we, anyone) do/does with our bodies/minds is our own business and our's alone? pot smokers, like any tobacco smoker know the dangers of what we are doing and still choose to do it. |
