Facts About Marijuana
Cannabis was first cultivated in China around 4000 B.C. and the U.S. Declaration of Independence was written on hemp paper. Twelve Americans receive prescribed marijuana from the U.S. government. There are three main types of Marijuana: Cannabis Sativa, Cannabis Indica and Cannabis Ruderalis. Cannabis Sativa grows taller and it gives more of a head high. Indica is a short bushy plant and the high is more muscle relaxing throughout the body. Cannabis Ruderalis grows in colder climates (Eastern Europe and Russia). Skunk is the strong Cannabis Indica hybrid. Interesting fact about marijuana is that marijuana cures/prevents more than 100 diseases including cancer and depression.

you are a ****ing ignoramus.
Many people are under the misconception that marijuana is a gateway drug, I have two counter-acts to that. One, many people who try/use marijuana tend to have started with cigarettes and alcohol first, so how is it even plausible that marijuana is a gateway drug when it more often than not it isn't the first substance one may abuse? Cigarettes and Alcohol kill 500,000 people every year and is sold over the counter everywhere in the country, all the while marijuana has killed no one and is still highly punishable by law for simple possession. Let me tell you something guys, the government is ****ing crooked, we've been brainwashed into a consumerism trance gobbling up any lies they feed to us and running with it until the next big thing we "need" comes along. Second, have you ever gave this question a thought, perhaps, marijuana isn't a gateway drug but instead drug dealers are the gateways to actual life-threatening drugs? Hmm, what a ****ing concept, right?
I could go on and on about this, if your looking for more information text, 1260-336-1975
God is dead. Smoke and rejoice.
The economy will rise.
Atleast they should legalise it in India as it is land of Lord Shiva "God of Hash".
its first recorded use for medicinal purposes was 2727B.C.
I'm not saying I don't disagree with you. Cannabis can't even be historically recorded to who the first user's of it were. It goes even further back than 600 BC. It was even published in 1621 AD as an anti depressant and later some bloke called O’Shaughnessey published in 1839 the benefits of cannabis for the treatment of rabies, rheumatism, epilepsy, and tetanus. We could sit here and debate the great qualities of what if can do, how you can make clothes and shampoos and some of the best medicine the world could make. There are probably more qualities out there in Cannabis that are positive than negative. You say "There will always be one person who shines a negative light on something". Its pointless of me repeating all the spectacular qualities of what this herb can do. So I decided to maybe shine a light on "why the government" might not be wanting to legalize it. These are just facts. The government does as it pleases half the time. As you rightly stated everything will be abused by a minority. That can be with cars, tobacco, alcohol, prescription meds, fast food (which they have threatened tax with before) and ****ing bedrooms! Everyone here will argue a great reason on why it should be. My statement previously was not to bad mouth Cannabis, it was to try give an understanding from another point of view. Understanding usually will give a better insight on how to argue a situation. Which one you said quite rightly is that it would boost the economy. Which brings it straight back to politics. "WE" can tell them till we are blue in the face everything that everyone has said on here. Its up to them if they wish to accept it. Just the same with Charities to the third world. For over 20 years now we have given, and given and given. Why does it seem like on every bloody advertisement/commercial that they keep telling us nothing has changed? Usually cos some **** is benefiting from it and is never the people who are in need of the benefits of it.
You make a valid point. Yes, some people would abuse it. Some people would sell it to under aged children. The way that some people do that with alcohol and tobaco now. One bad apple can spoil the bunch. This is true with everything. There will always be that one person that shines a negative light on something. Marijuana should be legalized. The medicinal benefits, not to mention the boom it would create in our economy, are well worth the risks because some moron wants to feel like a bad*ss. I say this as a 21 year old mother who suffers from arthritis and sublexation degeneration in her spine as well as the daughter of a mother suffering from Multiple Sclerosis.
Good for you... It's open-minded people like you who we need more support from to end the senseless war on cannabis, and believe me, there's many more of you oyt there... The thing about it is, is tgat most people who have never tried
Marijuana but feel the way that you do are afraid to admit it in fear of ridicule and chastism. If you want to do more to help legalize marijuana, and end tge senseless proscecution of millions of Americans, join your local norml foundation or go to www.norml.org and sign up! Every supporter counts, and if we can change the mind of just one more American, it might make all the diffrence!!!
When you eat the raw plant fresh the THCa (acids) have not become THC yet, and therefore are not psychoactive. The THCa only becomes THC when you either heat it (by smoking or cooking) or by aging it.
So you can ingest Raw Cannabis without getting high.
This way you can get 600-1,000mg of THCa and far more cannabinoids than you could by smoking or edibles which only allow 10-30mg before you are too stoned to take more.
You can see more about this by visiting http://CannabisInternational.org or by searching for "Leaf juicing cannabis" on Youtube.
No..It bonds to fat. Thats why in order to ingest it it has to be cooked in a fatty substance such as butter,whole milk,olive oil anything high in unsaturated fats
Yes it is true that there are many benefits to Marijuana!
but the one most prominent effect that ALL studies agree on is that it causes apathy in everyone who uses it.PERIOD! smokers,tokers,snorters,horters, and even yes, EVEN ORAL INGESTION. I have never seen a pot smoker ever make something of themselves. The just lose all drive and become mellow apathetic creatures that just wanna get along.
I KNOW. I'VE SEEN IT. I'VE BEEN THERE. I GREW UP IN HUMBOLT COUNTY, CALIFORNIA!!!!
Dude you are SErIOUSLY mistaken! Thomas Jefferson used to smoke and grow marijuana, and if you read a couple history books Im pretty sure he has done quite a bit. Yes marijuana CAN cause an apathetic characteristic to develop but compared to alcohol and tobacco which can cause cancer and depression and other diseases (which marijuana can cure/prevent) it's effects are MINOR! Alcohol and Tobacco kill over 500,000 people every year while marijuana hasnever killed a soul.
People say weed is a gateway drug but studies have proven that most people who do any drugs at all started with alcohol and tobacco. The statistical facts outweigh any argument made against ignorant "Americans" who look to limit the Freedom and Liberty and Pursuit of Happiness our Founding Fathers fought so hard to protect!
You are an ****.... I can introduce you to a dozen or more Drs,lawyers,teachers,Who smoke pot. Over 40% of the US population has admitted to smoking pot and the number is probably greater because of people afraid to admit it. Yes people who abuse marijuana become lazy slugs but people who use it once a day or even just a couple times a week carry on normal productive lives. I suffer from adult ADD which makes it hard to accomplish what needs to be done. That's until I smoke a joint, then I function normally and can get my work done in a timely manner,and it's done right.
