All I'm saying is after 15 years of smoking, including more than 4 of my friends, we have not done harder drugs...I hardly drink....maybe 1 beer a week.

And yes smoking pot does make me somewhat of an expert on it, more of an expert than any of you who only know what you read in science journals.

My only suggestion is if you want to save money and live a long healthy life free a cancer...don't smoke pot!

But don't tell me or the world that pot will make you do hard drugs, those people who do harder drugs would do them without the help of pot anyway.

If you havent heard that song then download it.... its very meaningful and no the whole songs not about smoking pot its about alot of things in our society today...

Its by Lazy Boy and its a very meaningful song

So whats on the other side of the 75? Is it not supposed to be out of 100? I just did some simple math and put a new light on cleverly veiled "facts".

75% NEVER use harder drugs. That means 25% may use harder drugs ONCE or twice and maybe 5% will stay with them. The point is the MJ didnt make them use harder drugs. It was their own curiosity (or -ness sorry im not native engly) that made them try harder drugs. Just like it made them try MJ. That doesnt mean in a single word that MJ makes them use harder ones.

Cus im with Flynt on this one

Yes, this isnt about if its good or not. Its about people spreading untrue rumours they call facts.

...and it's morphed into a life of it's own.

This is NOT a debate whether weed is right or wrong.

lol well kinda it was whether it was right or wrong...it was talking about the pros and cons..

So many of these debates always focus on the health aspects, when they are really not that great.Why not focus on the more important issues?

HEMP: THE WORLD'S MOST BENEFICIAL NATURAL RESOURCE? AMAZING FACTS ABOUT AN AMAZING PLANT

 

• On an annual basis, 1 acre of hemp will produce as much fiber as 2 to 3 acres of cotton. Hemp fiber is stronger and softer than cotton, lasts twice as long as cotton, and will not mildew. Many textile products (shirts, jackets, pants, backpacks, etc.) made from 100% hemp are now available.
• Cotton grows only in moderate climates and requires more water than hemp; but hemp is frost tolerant, requires only moderate amounts of water, and grows in all 50 states. Cotton requires large quantities of pesticides and herbicides--50% of the world's pesticides/herbicides are used on cotton. But hemp requires no pesticides, no herbicides, and only moderate amounts of fertilizer.
• On an annual basis, 1 acre of hemp will produce as much paper as 2 to 4 acres of trees. From tissue paper to cardboard, all types of paper products can be produced from hemp. Global demand for paper will double within 25 years. Unless tree-free sources of paper are developed, there is no way to meet future demand without causing massive deforestation and environmental damage. Hemp is the world's most promising source of tree-free paper.
• The quality of hemp paper is superior to tree-based paper. Hemp paper will last hundreds of years without degrading, can be recycled many more times than tree-based paper, and requires less toxic chemicals in the manufacturing process than does paper made from trees.
• Hemp can be used to produce fiberboard that is stronger than wood, lighter than wood, and fire retardant. Substituting hemp fiberboard for timber would further reduce the need to cut down our forests. Hemp can also be used to produce strong, durable and environmentally-friendly plastic substitutes. Thousands of products made from petroleum-based plastics can be produced from hemp-based composites. Mercedes Benz of Germany has recently begun manufacturing automobile bodies and dashboards made from hemp.
• It takes years for trees to grow until they can be harvested for paper or wood, but hemp is ready for harvesting only 120 days after it is planted. Hemp can grow on most land suitable for farming, but forests and tree farms require large tracts of land available in few locations. Harvesting hemp rather than trees would also eliminate erosion due to logging, thereby reducing topsoil loss and water pollution caused by soil runoff.
• Hemp seeds contain a protein that is more nutritious and more economical to produce than soybean protein. Hemp seeds are not intoxicating. Hemp seed protein can be used to produce virtually any product made from soybean: tofu, veggie burgers, butter, cheese, salad oils, ice cream, milk, etc. Hemp seed can also be ground into a nutritious flour that can be used to produce baked goods such as pasta, cookies, and breads.
• Hemp seed oil can be used to produce non-toxic diesel fuel, paint, varnish, detergent, ink and lubricating oil. Because hemp seeds account for up to half the weight of a mature hemp plant, hemp seed is a viable source for these products.
• Just as corn can be converted into clean-burning ethanol fuel, so can hemp. Because hemp produces more biomass than any plant species (including corn) that can be grown in a wide range of climates and locations, hemp has great potential to become a major source of ethanol fuel.
• Literally millions of wild hemp plants currently grow throughout the U.S. Wild hemp, like hemp grown for industrial use, has no drug properties because of its low THC content. U.S. marijuana laws prevent farmers from growing the same hemp plant that proliferates in nature by the millions.
• From 1776 to 1937, hemp was a major American crop and textiles made from hemp were common. Yet, The American Textile Museum, The Smithsonian Institute, and most American history books contain no mention of hemp. The government's War on Marijuana Smokers has created an atmosphere of self censorship--speaking of hemp in a positive manner is considered taboo.
• United States Presidents George Washington and Thomas Jefferson grew hemp, used products made from hemp, and praised the hemp plant in some of their writings. Under the laws written by today's politicians, George Washington and Thomas Jefferson would be considered a threat to society--they would be arrested and thrown in prison for the felony crime of growing plants.
• No other natural resource offers the potential of hemp. Cannabis Hemp is capable of producing significant quantities of paer, textiles, building materials, food, medicine, paint, detergent, varnish, oil, ink, and fuel. Unlike other crops, hemp can grow in most climates and on most farmland throughout the world with moderate water and fertilizer requirements, no pesticides, and no herbicides. Cannabis Hemp (also known as Indian Hemp) has enormous potential to become a major natural resource that can benefit both the economy and the environment.

"Make the most you can of the Indian Hemp seed and sow it everywhere."
--President George Washington, 1794

I think ignorance is the real problem, just my opinion though.

I used it cuz i was curious and then it felt nice and i was young and it was cool. Nowadays it only makes me tired. It was bringing nothing positive in my life anymore .. thats why i stopped.

But in fact both are personal choices. What else? You think we fell from heaven on earth and were "addicted" ?

P.S. Hemp IS legal, you have to differ between Mary Jane and Industrial Hemp that is used and is legal. I know farmers who grow it. Its modified thou.

Flyntt Twamao is really not worth m8 lol hes just like  an old grandma thats got her mind set on 11 opinion and is not willing to accept other viwes on the subject.. i know your right... i think the majority of people here also do but its just narrow minded people that cant

Could my parents influence my decision? Unnecessary question...

Im not a hipocrate. My kids already know about drugs, sex, alcohol. They have been brought up to make there own choices, and think for themselves. Not to blindly follow what everyone else thinks.

SOMETIMES  

Have smoked it since I was 18, had a perfect 4.0 grade throughout college, obtained my Mech. Eng. Degree, am a rated Chess Player and program CNC machines on the fly, and do Statics equations in my head...so from my perspective, it is not a bad thing.

 BUT I raised my kids to not do it when they lived at home, they never knew I did it until they turned 18, then I sat them down and told them I do it as they had reached adult age and had a right to know. They were shocked, as the hype is you are stupid if you do it, and they know I have a brain. Now they know why dad disappeared into the bedroom and came out happy 10 minutes later after a hard days work. :P

 You could consider it hypocritical, but I wanted them to reach 18, clean and sober, then to make up their own mind concerning it. Not to do it because their dad does it. On reaching 18, one tried it, one didn't, they both don't touch it, and I am glad.

 It is my Martini after a hard days work. It should never have been made illegal, you can thank the brewers and distillers for that. It was legal until prohibition in the USA, then the brewers had it made illegal as people started to turn to hemp. When prohibition was lifted, hemp was kept illegal.

 Imagine if they made it legal, and sold it for $20.00 a pack, it would employ many farmers, create a big tax income for the government, and stop the wasted money spent on enforcement and keeping people locked up who's only crime is smoking one, driving slow, and being hungry.

 Smoke one, drive slow, drink a few, drive like a race car driver. which is worse? Smoke one, laugh and veg, drink, get obnoxious and belligerent. Liquor/beer is the worst imho.

 I have never been to a pot party and witnessed a fight, have witnessed people looking for something they just set down and can't remember where it is, but no fights. :P

 keg parties on the other hand...a fight almost every time.

word

Well there are two directly negative cosequenses from smoking pot that makes it worse then alcohol.

 First off, after smoking once you can get high at any point in the future without smkoing. A friend of mine got high in the middle the day were we worked, that was fun as hell, but imaging driving a car and get stoned.

Secondly, you can get a psychoic. And you can also get stuck in one for the rest of your life. If that happens your entire life is wasted.

Well I dont know what happens, but when you smoke its gonna go to your fat and when the fat is used your gonan get high even if you didnt smoke for years.

You may get stuck in teh psychosis, thats what I ment.

The fat cells can store enough for you to be affected by it.

 Cleon im sorry but your wrong thats the biggest load of bull*beep* ive ever heard... Your basically just quoted an urban Myth with no scientific evidence behind your ridiculous "theory"

To me it just sounds like another scare tactic

in briten we call it a *beep* of sigarete to me it sounds werid cause i thought pots were meatl lol

(or wood lol)
