I don't do any drugs other than the ocassional drink and cigarettes. However, I have looked at the evidence presented by both sides of the legalization argument and I have to admit I think marijuana should be a controlled LEGAL substance.
There's simply too much evidence that it is less harmful than many other legal substances out there. It's only a "gateway" drug for those who are predisposed towards addiction, and it actually does have benefits for it's users.
Legalizing it and controlling it in a manner similar to alcohol could add tax revenue to our perpetually in debt (due to their own irresponsibility) government, allow law enforcement to focus on the more dangerous drugs and issues, alleviate jail/prison crowding and the tremendous amount of $ spent to investigate, arrest, prosecute, and house the vast number of people in trouble for causual use.
Again, I think this is a substance that each person should be allowed to make their own decisions on as to whether they want/need to use it or not.

The title "unofficial community leader" really doesn't mean a whole lot. When you joined it said "member" under your name...it only means that you have posted alot to threads. I've been here now for a yr. and have posted alot and I am now "some kind of super member". But it's really not a big deal! That's all it means!
I have smoked weed. The first time I did it, I had to go to bed. It made me so sleepy...but the more you do it, the more you have to smoke to have the same effect. But I have no need to do it and right now we are dealing with a brother n law who is bipolar and smoking alot of weed. It's really made him into someone we don't know. He's using the weed to help with his sickness that he won't admit he has. Visious circles! :(

what does bipolar mean?
I have not yet tried weed but I plan to smoke weed in my time from a bong preferably. I agree that it should be legalised and I do not see it as any more harmful than alcohol.

Bipolar is a depression. When he's on a high from the disease, his mind is going 100 miles an hour and he can't control his thoughts, so most will use alcohol or pot to balance their thoughts. When he's on a low, he is more normal and can think straight...know's right from wrong and is always sorry for what he did. But usually...because what happens is they get out of control with the alcohol and pot and then you have more problems. They can become totally out of control and right now he is. He's pretty much walked out on his wife and 2 daughters and is living with a 60 yr. old man who is divorced and also smoking pot. He see's what's happening as everyone else's fault and not his. It's sad...really sad.
As for legalizing pot......they probably never will, even though it's effects are pretty much the same as alcohol. Either way...there will always be people who abuse it.

I'm not manic depression tho I was in counseling last yr and diagnoised with an anxiety dissorder, moderate depression (which is caused by the anxiety) and a form of OCD. I much better now but still can get easily upset/worried about lots of things, when I get nervous I cnt stop fiddling wi th paper (thats the OCD) I think pot would help me relax but that isn't why I want to take it.
Doing pot and one other drug is on my list of things to do b4 I die alone with going to china.

That depends. Type one bipolar which I am is the more intensely manic variety. Type two is the more depressive with hypomania breaks interspersed.
I also wouldn't agree about the effects being similar to alcohol, as I find the two quite different. I also consider Alcohol far more dangerous. That being said I'm sorry to hear about your brother in law. I was pretty self destructive until they finally found some medication that works. Problem is bipolar people are usually misdiagnosed as I initially was with clinical depression. A great deal of antidepressants play hell with the minds of the bipolar and make them batshit manic, which my prescription of Lexapro did.

Never tried it, don't care to. The only drug I put in me is alcohol, and I should probably cut back on that, too. It just seems so odd, unnatural- unhealthy- to suck smoke down your lungs, be it tobacco or marijuana. That isn't clean air! And, of course, I like to be in control of myself and not under the influence of other substances.
That said, it should be legal- everyone should be able to choose for themselves what they put in their bodies. Though I know it's not for me, I love to talk about it. Rather interesting that this thread popped up- I've just recently become enamored of the movie musical "Reefer Madness" and saw the play in L.A. a few weeks ago! Now I run around singing all the songs and I fear I'm suspected of being a pothead. :rolleyes:

Ive never smoked anything :-) When you have asthma, especially when it was BAD enough to kill you any moment when I was a child, you stay away from things that could target and bring back the asthma.
When I was a child, it seemed everything I did especially if I was around smoke, I had a "deadly" attack and doctors always said "I don't think she'll make it through the night".... When I was 11 years old it stopped. Only had really minor attacks every now and then.... but sometimes I think the minor attacks are a warning my asthma hasn't left, its just not being as bad but theres always chances it COULD come back to its dangerous state so Its better to be safe than sorry....
But I am AGAINST drugs... I refuse to do drugs and I discourage others from doing it.....

I experimented a bit in my teens and my wife has never touched the stuff. Its got no appeal at all to us. However if other folks wanna, it doesnt bother us. We just ask that it not be done around us. To further add to the confusion we both feel that current federal law restrciting the sale and growth of weed is stupid. WHy not sell it, tax it, and regulate it. From a legal POV current legislation doesnt make sense either. How come there is no federal jurisdiction over alcohol sales but there is over weed? Sure its classified as a type I controled substance, but in reality it should be classified as a type V, which would put it on par with OTC cold remedies.

I spent an entire month drunk and stoned. I'd get up, go to work, meet up with a friend afterwards, get stoned then go to the bar and have a few beers. After the bar I'd go pass out, get up and do it all over again.
When I went back to college, I stopped using and it's probably the best thing I could have done for myself. I haven't touched weed since.
When I was a psychology major I did a research paper on a condition known as Marijuana Psychosis. In a small percentage of people, usually those with a predisposition for mental disorders (but on rare occasions, with no history at all) there have been instances of having a psychotoc break either while high or while comming down from one. These breaks usually include dissociative disorder sysmptoms and paranoid delusions.
Weed may not be as carcenogenic as tobacco, but it isn't totally without dangers.
We've just spent the last year and a half dealing with our oldest son's drug issues. At one point he dropped out of high school and was dealing. He's now in an outpatient counceling program, has his GED and has been clean for four months.
I think that if weed IS legalized, there should be regulations in place that allow for employers to have the leeway to choose not to hire those who test positive for weed. I don't care if people want to kill brain cells, but I refuse to put my business at risk because of someone else's carelessness.

I have never tried pot, but my friends in high school used to use it on a fairly regular basis, and more often than not, i was their lookout
i have never had a desire to try it, and back when i was younger, i feared my dad more than anything, & i knew his take on any illegal drug, and it would be my luck that i would get busted, and have to face him ( i also knew the cops couldnt legally keep me either)
so in short, i have nothing against it, or people that enjoy weed, but its not my "cup of tea" shall we say! ;)

I tried weed. I like weed. Weed has had good effects on me. Get rid of most my asrthits pain.
Pot is illegal is for two reason. One there is no way to regulate. I grows wild although it is not as good a cultured weed. It is still weed and has some of the same effects. Unlike sprits where someone has to have knowledge to brew it. It was legal to home brew until 1977. Think about that proabation had been over for near 50 years before anyone could brew it. All microbreweries pay tax on all beer sold. Except for home breweries whom do it just for "themselves".
The second has to do with alcohol also. There is now way to test how much is in you while in the squad car. The police can tell your on something but can't tell how much. So if there ever was a way to keep weed from growing wild and a way to let police tell how much. Then we can legalize it
As for the "gateway drug” there is no such thing. It a product of the Regan Administration. Lump illegal thing together and have one lead to another. There are very big steps from pot, to heroin.
This is my testimony so there

Love the herb and make no apologies for it. There was a brief time when I was puffing every day, now its more like once a week or so, but I'll go without for up to a month.
Chills me out, takes the edge off the stress, but I stay alert enough to still have a good time and remember everything. I prefer to do it when I know I'm gonna be in for the evening, but I've certainly gone out clubbing stoned on occasion. It doesn't make me any hornier than I usually am (and I usually am) just makes me too lazy to initiate.
If you're interested in trying it and you've never smoked anything before, I would reccommend a bong. Its easier on the lungs. Its also a totally different high than smoking blunts or from a dry pipe. A dry pipe is standard issue for me. The bong is for "special" occasions.
I keep munchies around. Gotta make that move. Baking it right into the brownies is always fun as well. Reefer Madness is a brilliant movie. A cheesy, campy musical. The soundtrack is in my iPod right now. A good movie choice when you're sober, a great one when you're high. lol
As a side note, my best friend was discharged from the army because of migraines. She has one everyday. Literally. She's taken every possible legal drug. When I met her she was taking percoset in the morning and valium at night. Not good. Herb is the only thing she's found that will make her pain managable.

OMG I can't believe any of us are actually talking about this...but...as long as it's already been brought up...
Yeah, so I was the victim of peer pressure back when I was a senior in high school, old enough to know better but young enough to want to fit in, and it was my boyfriend and his circle of friends at the time who did it to me. What happened the first time I will never forget. I totally freaked out. I was disociative and paranoid and thought I was going to die. Did that stop me? Hell no. I ended up doing things that were so stupid. I probably had a joint that was laced with cocaine in an apartment complex in a bad neighborhood where I would pass Bloods in the hallway, and a Bloods/Crips gangfight happened in the parking lot, I rode 2 hours with a bag of weed in my pocket and a purple bong between my legs, took an advanced trig test while high that I failed miserably, and lost a few friends over it. Was it worth it? Hell no. My ex boyfriend ended up getting caught for dealing and went to jail, but he was young so he got probation and banned from the county. The same thing happened to his little sister. The shit does stupid things. Do I think it should be banned? No, because if it was legalized, we wouldn't be sneaking around doing things we might regret.
As far as manic depression, I'm an expert. Half of my family is bipolar, including myself. I have yet to have a full blown manic episode, so I'm a Type 2 Manic Depressive. I take a mood stabilizer and an antidepressant every day.I can tell you that I think its an inherited thing for me, brought on by intense levels of stress. It's a chemical imbalance, no different than any other disease, because if you let it, it can be deadly. I encourage anyone who thinks they may be depressed or who have had crazy irrational out of body experiences to get help. It can overwhelm you. The majority of today's population takes some sort of med to help them just get through the grind of today's society. There's no longer the stigma that someone who might be mentally unstable is crazy. Now, we're just normal, as crazy as that sounds!!!
luv and kisses,

I am an average smoker but more of a cookie eater. I've done a lot of reading on the use and abuse of cannabis. As for killing brain cells that is a bit of the propaganda put out I think in the 70's. There is a lot of disinformation been going on since the 1930's about cannabis and hemp.
A more recent study by the goverment has said that it isn't true about killing brain cells. http://www.norml.org/index.cfm?Group_ID=3475#12
I did read an article from I believe from JAMA that it actually helps the brain cells be stronger but I couldn't find it again so if someone is better at searching than I, I would like to read it again.
Alcohol is a much more dangerous than cannabis as it is physcially addicting and it can kill you from over use.Cannabis has never killed anyone other than accidents or poor judgements under the influence. Cannabis and alcohol is a dangerous combination. Whenever you hear about someone doing something stupid because of pot it is because some other drug is involved. I've know many people who do smoke and I have yet to see someone get stupid or wild while on it. (flamming material) As for anyone who claims they don't do drugs must look back and see what is in the drinks they are drinking. One of them being sugar, I know I'll get flammed for putting sugar in the same context of cannabis but I challange you to try and quit using sugar. The other item I'm sure a lot of you are addicted to is caffeine. (coffee lover here) caffeine has many adverse health effects including the headache from nonuse after using it for extended periods of time. I'm sure that is the reason why they put caffaine in some headache meds.
I do admit the short term memory loss is true but once you are not smoking the memory comes back. I do not condone the use of any drugs while you are growing, who knows how that is effecting your growth mentally and physically. I also wouldn't use if you have any problems with anxiety as one of the few side effects of cannabis has shown that it causes anxiety when you abuse it.
Now this is weird as I'm writing this I get this link from the wife...
http://www.cnn.com/2006/HEALTH/10/05/pot.alzheimers.reut/index.html?section=cnn_topstories

I've tried it as a cigarette, (I don't smoke), and as a bong, and all I got was a headache and sore throat. (And my ex was annoyed because she wanted me to be as mellow as her.)
As for sugar and caffeine, I quit both on a regular basis, but got my morning strong coffee with 2 sugars in front of me now because otherwise I'd be crap at work.

On September 6, 1988, DEA Chief Administrative Law Judge Francis L. Young ruled that marijuana did not meet the legal criteria of a Schedule I prohibited drug and should be reclassified. He declared that "marijuana in its natural form is one of the safest therapeutically active substances known to man."
This is the Chief Administrative Judge of the DEA saying this.

I've smoked weed atleast 10 times, each time having a good effect.
I did it without any peer pressure or freaking out. It's hard for me to get to smoke it beacuse I can't do it at home and one of my better friends is for some reason morbidly scared of it, like, run away and hide scared.
My girlfriend smokes after a hard day if she's going home to an empty house or if I'm there with her. I've found sex is better haha, I really don't know why.
I really don't see why it's illegal in the US or Australia for the same reasons already said in this thread. I mean come on, the governemt could make millions, billions even!

For my age and size I drink alot (only on weekends cas of skool(yeah right actually my mum) I lv wine (nothing else) I have never done illegal drugs except poppers which gave me such a leasant rush that I wud do it again a couple times. I plan to take weed. If I dislike it I will not continue to take it and if i like it I will take it recreationally.
I think weed is no more dangerous than alcohol. I wud do pot way b4 regular ciggarettes.
I also plan to try one other more dangerous illegal product once in my life (proably coke) not cas I thibk its safe Idnt I just wanna live.

I had a ton of fun with weed, right up until I realised that I couldn't program any more. That was terrifying for me, because programming had been so natural before. So I stopped playing with it (I'd already stopped my occasional experiments with acid) and about a year later my brain clicked back to normal one day and suddenly I knew how to program again. I miss it, to be honest... But not enough to jeapordise my career. :)
As for the legality of it... I think it should be a controlled substance, like nicotine or alcohol. It has some unpleasant side-effects for certain users, but it's less dangerous and way less addictive than alcohol or nicotine.

It's interesting that some are so opposed to weed mainly because it's not legal, meanwhile people are killed by drunk drivers everyday and those drugs prescribed by doctors and okayed by the FDA are also slowly killing millions but I guess it's alright because they're "legal"???? Marijuana has recently been discovered to be a positive herbal remedy for alzheimers. Yes, kind of comical that an herb known for making one, silly and forgetful would be put to good use, thwarting off an illness with similar symptoms.

I once smoked more than my fair share of pot, but those days are long gone.
I lost the habit of smoking pot many years back not because I did not like the stuff--actually I loved it but my ceasing was due to my choice of employment.
In my middle 20s I joined the US Coast Guard and one of that service's top missions is to engage in "drug smuggling interdiction" as the service puts it.
It was my understanding that in the 1970s---pot smoking in all of the military services including the Coast Guard, while not officially sanctioned, was basically tolerated. One of the guys on my first ship who had been in for awhile told me about crew members smoking out of bongs in the berthing areas on a 210' cutter he was assigned right out of boot camp.
By the time I joined in the early/mid-80s--that was a thing of the past and the service made all members pull random piss tests--if you got caught with drugs of any kind in your system--you were in deep shit.
After the service--and going back to college to get my BA degree-I went to work as a probation officer--same deal there---no smokey pot-we got piss tested too.
By the time I had left that job--I was free to smoke again but just did not want the hassles that could take place if I got busted for smoking pot in terms of the law and such--besides---even for pissant jobs like working for convenience marts and shit--most employers test for drugs---
From my experience on both sides of the law and such---I do not think that pot is that bad----while as a probation officer I had lots of people who had problems with pot and many other substances--
The one thing I found---pot smokers were never on for acts of violence--at least not relating to their use of pot--but I had lots of aholes who had beat the shit out of their "old ladies" while talking to Jack (Daniels) and Jim (Beam) and other assaults like getting in fights with cops---
I say the real reason when you strip all of the right wing bullshit about the evils of pot smoking--the number one reason pot is outlawed:
IF POT WAS LEGAL---THEY WOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO FIND PEOPLE WHO GO FIGHT THEIR STUPID FUCKING DESTRUCTIVE ILL ADVISED WARS---
this is the commercial about pot you will never see on American TV:
Scene: an average den of an average American house, two young men, slightly dishevled dressed in jeans, T-shirts, and with several days of facial stubble.
On the television is the news of fighting in Iraq or Afghanistan.
One young man takes a toke on a marijuana "joint" and says to his partner:
"Go to fucking war--no fucking way man--that is stupid shit--I ain't gonna get my ass shot off for the rich bastards up in Washington!"
"Dude, that is so fucking right--I ain't gonna get into that shit!"
Second commericial:
A young man sits at a bar drinking round after round of Whiskey. He watches the same newscast as the other young men did:
In an obviously inebriated state this young man says to no one in particular:
"Goddamm--I am gonna sign my ass up in the Marines right now and go shoot me some cocksucking towel head sandniggers!!!!!! YEEEHHHHAAAAWWW!!!"
Too bad that neither one of those commericials or some version of them will never be made or shown --that would be pretty much like something the media can't do these days--tell the truth----without all of the right wing superspin----

Wow Voltman, you are sooooo right :bowdown:
I think Bill Hicks put it well also. "Bunch of guys get into a fight at a baseball game. Are they drinking or smokin' pot?".
I like smoking. I'm one of the more active tokers, i.e. I like to do a lot of stuff when I smoke. I have gotten popped once for it. If it happens again I'm through.
I hate to sound like a burnout stereotype and say pot is peaceful, but that's how I see it. Alcohol on the other hand seems to bring out every diabolical impluse the human mind can concieve. Not with all who drink alcohol, but the potential is always there. What's really staggering is the amount of non violent offenders filling up the prisons for weed related stuff. That said, my baked ass is off to bed.
