The secret ingredient? MY BALLS
I used to smoke A LOT of pot up until a few years ago and I can agree to a certain extent that weed isn't a ****, but...it is.
IMO, I don't think that smoking weed is NEARLY as harmful as ******** *******. There are two things that get in the way of weed being legalized in this country: 1) money 2) public perception
In the public eye, it's "normal" to think that smoking weed is something that low-life scumbags do. Most people look at weed as something that is only done by people who have no life. The reality is...people who HAVE lives probably smoke more weed (and other *****) than people who don't have lives.

Uh, no, it's still a ****. And it's mainly dried flowers, not leaves. ******* is processed leaves. Heroin is, if I remember correctly, a derivate of opium which is made from flowers. Processed, synthetic or natural, it doesn't really matter as far as I'm concerned. As long as it's a substance used to stimulate the central nervous system, it's a **** (and yes, that includes ******* etc.).
Can I just say that I found it a lot easier to quit smoking pot than to quit smoking cigarettes?
it's natural
it's just as much of a **** as **** or alchohol *which is also natural* :thumbsup:
it's not truly addictive. you do it when you feel like it just like you ***** when/if you feel like it.
***** = things that you have to manufacture. They are mostly addictive.

what the fuck you lookin at?
wrong! ******* and **** are processed, hence **** is added to the hops or grain, or maybe corn to make the **** and *******. So they are ***** because they are manufactured.
Weed on the other hand grows straight out of the damn ground, you can find in growing wild, or used to be able to find it growing wild. Just dry and smoke! No need to add a bunch of extra **** to make it potent! So it's natural and not a ****!
I say arnold for president! Finally someone in power gets it!!!!!!!:nanner:
I read "Reefer Nation" by Eric Schlosser (the Fast Food Nation writer) and that book has convinced me that we are throwing money away in several areas but mainly our prison system is overrun with people who are serving major time for ***** ********* offenses.
We should decriminalize it and treat it like *******. Simply put..too many Americans want to smoke ********* recreationally.

:hatsoff: ex-fuckin-actly!
barley malt for ******
grapes for ****
that's my point about natural ingredients and alchohol. I know it's processed but the process is like the recipe for making it what it is.
However, you can't find crack, and methamphetimines growing throught the soil. Those are *****. Pills, etc
and do we really need anymore dopeheads running the whitehouse.. we'll be a third world country when somebody blows us the fuck up because of dumbfucks leading us.

Not because I think it's entirely correct, but it goes along well with my experiences. I managed to get out of smoking cigarettes a few years ago, but it was extremely hard. ******* in the everyday like ****, **** and occasional spirits are things I can't live without to be honest. It feels dry without them.
About weed. I started smoking when I was 17. Back then I smoked maybe 10 times every week. I never experienced anything bad, except for the few times I smoked on empty stomach - which can turn out to be a really nasty high. We used to mix the weed or hashish with tobacco to make them cheaper and to make it burn more easy. Also, smoking pure is a bit odd. Those tobacco joints made you dry (coughing), they made you feel musty just like cigarettes. But most of all they were addictive. The high was tempting for the high - but the tobacco were addictive and gave you a major abstinence.
After a few years, me and my friend both quit smoking. We wanted to continue smoking pot without becoming addicted to tobacco still - so we read up about it. We mixed with basil, nettles and dandelions and other herbs. The smokes tasted odd in the beginning, but they were smoother and smelled better. And they enchanted the high. None of us felt any attraction to tobacco either and we didn't have to smoke pure weed.
Well basically my point was, that many people mix up the addiction, the lung problems (not saying that smoking pot doesn't cause any, but tobacco is worse) and the long-term physical problems with the tobacco that many people mix into a joint. Rid the tobacco, and smoking weed is less harmful than ******* - by far. I think the skepticism towards cannabis comes from confusing it with heavier ***** (chemical ones), the tobacco-relationship and the fact that people have to sneak about it since it's *******. Legalizing it should be considered if the health issue is the problem - although I don't think making it a market ware is good since it might lead to LSD, Ecstasy and eventually even ******* and **** being accepted too. People who can handle weed today knows how to get it so legalizing it wouldn't change anything. The junkies who can't handle any kind of high would just benefit from a legalization.
Here's a good article to get some discussion going:

It's not a ****, it's a plant, but with all the **** they put in it now it could be.
If it's grown naturally it's cool. But nobody can tell me Kush is not a ****. Chemicals are added to the plant to make the THC level higher. That still don't stop me from smoking...

A **** is defined by its effect not by its provenance.
***** are simply chemicals which affect the human body regardless of where they came from.Malaria was treated by natives who chewed cinchona bark.It was later found that the active substance was quinine and chemists tried to make it synthetically.(They initially failed but discovered aniline dyes instead!) Synthetic quinine would be identical to that derived from bark so the idea of "natural" is a blind alley.
As to the harmful effects of *********, let me paste a small extract from the National Institute of **** *****;
Even infrequent ***** can cause burning and stinging of the mouth and throat, often accompanied by a heavy cough. Someone who smokes ********* regularly may have many of the same respiratory problems that tobacco smokers do, such as daily cough and phlegm production, more frequent acute chest illness, a heightened risk of lung infections, and a greater tendency to obstructed airways9. Smoking ********* possibly increases the likelihood of developing cancer of the head or neck. A study comparing 173 cancer patients and 176 healthy individuals produced evidence that ********* smoking doubled or tripled the risk of these cancers10.
********* ***** also has the potential to promote cancer of the lungs and other parts of the respiratory tract because it contains irritants and carcinogens9,11. In fact, ********* smoke contains 50 to 70 percent more carcinogenic hydrocarbons than does tobacco smoke12. It also induces high levels of an enzyme that converts certain hydrocarbons into their carcinogenic form—levels that may accelerate the changes that ultimately produce malignant cells13. ********* users usually inhale more deeply and hold their breath longer than tobacco smokers do, which increases the lungs' exposure to carcinogenic smoke. These facts suggest that, puff for puff, smoking ********* may be more harmful to the lungs than smoking tobacco.

Three lullabies in an ancient tongue
Technically, ********* (cannabis sativa) is a plant. Its leaves, flowers and pollen contain varying levels of tetra hydra cannabinol (THC) which most certainly is a **** (technically a hallucinogen).
It is absolutely ridiculous that possession of personal amounts of ********* continues to remain a crime in most of the United States. Just another blatant example of our precious tax dollars being ****** on the unwinnable "War on *****". At the very least, such possession should be decriminalized everywhere.
Idiots.

********* and tobacco are bad news from a health point of view.******* might be but moderate use seems to be beneficial.If you're stupid enough to get ****** regularly you should know what to expect long term, and that's bad news too.
But it really isn't the job of government to protect people against themselves.**** taking is dangerous but so are mountaineering, contact sports, motorcycling, ***** riding.......the list goes on.Should we ban all these things too?
I'm not convinced that legalising ***** would significantly increase their use.A lot of crime is **** related and it really needs some real thought and informed discussion to find a way forward.I'm sure there are no easy answers though.
This is so true, and unfortunate.
