I'm a huge pothead.. i love my pot, it's made me a much MUCH better person then what I use to be..
I used to be a horrible teenager.. i stole from my family, i use to go out all night without telling my parents where i was, no calling home, i skipped school, had no job, Lazy, i was constantly kicked out on my ass, never listened to what my parents told me, i just did alot of things wrong.. and this was all before I started smoking pot..
Once i started smoking, I realized all the things i was doing was wrong, it opened up my eyes and I tottaly turned things around.. being stoned made me a better person, my parents are happy with me, i've got 2 jobs, i do the things my parents ask me to do.. when i come home after smoking a joint, i clean up my room, the house, i do positive things and i'm just in a peace-loving mood.. and if i go out with my friends, i'll phone my parents to make sure everything is ok.. after i smoke one.. or 4
The subject of pot is one that i've very passionate about, because of what it's done for me..
I could talk for hours why it should be legailzed.
This world is corrupt.. 'They' let Alcohol and cigarettes be legalized when it kills millions and millions of people around the world..
There have been so many cases of girls being raped because of alcohol, so many car accidents, so many people dieing from alcohol poisoning.. at yet it's legal.
cigarettes? dosn't it kill thousands and thousands of people a year and it's legal aswell?
Pot.. 0 have died, from what we know of.. it's physically impossible for someone to OD from it.. it's helped cure diseases, helped people in pain and YET IT'S ILLEGAL!!! WHY IS SOMETHING MADE FROM NATURE ILLEGAL???
Pigs spend thousands of OUR money to nail potheads, put them in jail and give them a criminal record just for growing PLANTS.. real criminals get off easier.. it's ridiculous.. pigs should spend more time on problems that ACTUALLY matter..
My mom knows i smoke pot and she dosn't approve.. at all.. yet she knows i sometimes drink, and she dosn't say anything.. there's something wrong there... i haven't yet told her how pot has changed my life for the better, but it's something that i'm planning to do tonite..
potheads are basically good people, all that i know are peace-loving earth-saving hippies who just want to make this world a better place!!
there are some people that smoke pot that give us a bad name, but we just rule them out that they suck and are not true potheads
once potheads take over the world, then we'll have peace..
sorry if this post is a little scattered, i just have so much to say and i'll add things later on.

Yes, legalize it so everyone stops whining that it isn't. Seriously, I couldn't care less, except everyone else does. So just let people smoke and get high and whatever, it's their decision.

hmmm lets see it is possible to OD from smoking pot THC is a drug, It has killed people because they have been stoned while driving, it dosent not cure diseases only some types of cancer........... thats all i can think of off the top of my head
buddy.. there hasn't been one death recorded from ODing on pot..
i said somewhere else that you'd have to smoke 100 pounds in 15 minutes to OD..
and the people who drive stoned are just as briliant as the people who drive drunk
Really, all drugs lead to death or bad health effects.....if you want to screw up your own life, go for it...oh well. I'm just saying, I don't like it when people do drugs or drink, or smoke

Lee Maisey smoked six cannabis cigarettes a day for 11 years, an inquest heard. His death, which was registered as having been caused by cannabis toxicity, led to new warnings about the drug, which is due to be reclassified this month as a less dangerous one.
"This type of death is extremely rare," Prof John Henry, a toxicologist at Imperial College, London, said after the inquest at Haverfordwest, west Wales.
"I have not seen anything like this before. It corrects the argument that cannabis cannot kill anybody."
The inquest heard that Mr Maisey had complained of a headache on Aug 22 last year. Next morning he was found dead at the house he shared with a friend, Jeffrey Saunders, in Summerhill, Pembrokeshire.
chelsea..
did you read my 1st post at all?
how many times doi have to repeat the fact that pot is NOT drugs.. it's part of a plant.. found in NATURE. it's ridiculous how the goverment brainwashed people into thinking pot is drugs..
second.. pot has helped me change my life for the better, not screw it up.. i'm not the only one it's helped, it's helped so many others, in so many ways..
then there are the people who abuse this wonderful plant, but pot is probably not the only thing they abuse..

Just as most experts agree that occasional or moderate use of marijuana is innocuous, they also agree that excessive use can be harmful. Research shows that the two major risks of excessive marijuana use are: (1) respiratory disease due to smoking and (2) accidental injuries due to impairment.
Marijuana and Smoking:
A recent survey by the Kaiser Permanente Center found that daily marijuana-only smokers have a 19% higher rate of respiratory complaints than non-smokers.1 These findings were not surprising, since it has long been known that, aside from its psychoactive ingredients, marijuana smoke contains virtually the same toxic gases and carcinogenic tars as tobacco. Human studies have found that pot smokers suffer similar kinds of respiratory damage as tobacco smokers, putting them at greater risk of bronchitis, sore throat, respiratory inflammation and infections.2
Although there has not been enough epidemiological work to settle the matter definitively, it is widely suspected that marijuana smoking causes cancer. Studies have found apparently pre-cancerous cell changes in pot smokers.3 Some cancer specialists have reported a higher-than-expected incidence of throat, neck and tongue cancer in younger, marijuana-only smokers.4 A couple of cases have been fatal. While it has not been conclusively proven that marijuana smoking causes lung cancer, the evidence is highly suggestive. According to Dr. Donald Tashkin of UCLA, the leading expert on marijuana smoking:5
"Although more information is certainly needed, sufficient data have already been accumulated concerning the health effects of marijuana to warrant counseling by physicians against the smoking of marijuana as an important hazard to health."
Fortunately, the hazards of marijuana smoking can be reduced by various strategies: (1) use of higher-potency cannabis, which can be smoked in smaller quantities, (2) use of waterpipes and other smoke reduction technologies6, and (3) ingesting pot orally instead of smoking it.
hey man no need to be callin names
you can get your point across without insulting
if that's your way in making yourself feel superior.. hey man, you need to light one up instead
and you're probably getting all your information made up by the goverment.. pointing out the negitive facts about marijuana.. sure, it dose cause lung problems, but that's in the LONG, LONG run.. years and years.. so if cigarettes and marijuana does the same thing to the lungs, why is cigarettes legal?
positive side outweights negitive man.
