  1. Yes! Big win tonight.

     

    It's nice to see them score three quick goals late in the third instead of being scored on.

     

    Oops, I guess they are still letting those late goals in. Oh well, it didn't hurt them today.

    I missed tonight's game, ughhh

     

    Sounds like the leafs played well. Boston is a tough team, and normally spanks us

  2. I am just the messenger. It is people who have actually done studies on marijuana use that are claiming that usage was higher in the 70s than it is now.

     

    With 14 million more people than in 1970, marijuana smoking teens would have dropped to nill to make that claim.

     

    Ask your kids. Anyone in highschool has smoked, or their friends have.

     

    Those that haven't are of a VAST minority

  3. Hasn't drug use gone down since the 70s? Here is a quote from the link below.

     

    'The rate of Americans using illicit drugs today is roughly one-third the rate it was in the late '70s. More recently, there has been a 40 percent drop in current cocaine use and meth use has dropped by half, the press release stated.'

    ????? Yeah ok

  4. I disagree. It shows the ignorance we users are up against.

     

    And MIGHT, teach them some things.

     

    Although it can throw the thread for a twist at times, ultimately I believe any and all comments to be beneficial ial on some level.

     

    And everyone take the time to read the studies posted. That's a great start

     

    If you understand mechanism of action, you'll be able to see other benefits elsewhere, even though the studies focus on specifics, they often translate to other illness/ailments and diseases

  5. Half my friends work at a gold mine, in the oil field or in pipelining

     

    Your logic is flawed imo

     

    Again, if you didn't go to college, it's most likely not because of weed. Although I'm sure in some cases it is.

     

    What % of people drank in high school, and still got their crap together?

     

    Anyhow, we should focus on medicinal benefits.

  6. I have a really good book on the pyschology of addictions.

     

    Marijuana is addictive, just not in the means most think of as addiction.

     

    Physiologically stopping marijuana use is of no concern

     

    Psychologically it could cause issues however if the user stops. But again, it's vastly different from other addictive compounds.

     

    Show me any activity or compound that is enjoyable, or eases burdens, and it's psychologically addictive in some sense.

     

     

    I've never seen marijuana use destroy a family though, unless it's through illegal drug dealing. Not saying it doesn't happen, I'm sure it does. I'm not buying it on a scale that one would seem a significant issue.

     

    Also, new studies are suggesting marijuana usage to be safe and effective means of treating addictions and even improving mental health.

     

    Opiates for example, withdrawal can include violent bouts of naseau(marijuana treats that), use causes weight loss and poor nutrient uptake(marijuana treats that) opiate withdrawal effects proper sleep(marijuana treats that) opiate withdrawal creates dopamine and serotonin imbalances(marijuana treats that), opiate withdrawal can cause heavy bouts of physical pain/discomfort(marijuana treats that) opiate withdrawal can cause seizures(marijuana treats that)

     

    I mean, just to name a few. This list is 100% true of alcohol withdrawal as well.

     

    The more marijuana is studied, the question is quickly becoming "why isn't everyone using marijuana products"?

  7. A very good reply Dutch, hit all the W's. I have seen MJ guys Jonesing when they are out. I don't know how bad it is, no rolling on the floor in a fetal position like other withdrawals I've unfortunately seen thank God. When we went on 12 hour shifts it became obvious who was addicted to what ever it be. Guys couldn't go past 8 hours without a beer, shot, line or hit. Sad to see. These were good guys with problems.

     

    GBayGiant starts a MJ thread every once and a while. Gets some good discussions going, cuts and pastes news articles and opinions, he is anti-gov and anti-corporation and pro MJ. I asked earlier what he wants to see happen in the future but has yet to answer me as to what exactly he wants to see happen.

    He said exactly what he wants to happen. You might have missed it but he's said it numerous times in various threads

     

    Legal for everyone to grow their own
