marijuana

I'd just now been commenting on another thread that marijuana is fairly harmless. Far less harmful than alcohol, for instance. But is that actually so? I think there's ample research saying this, but I don't actually have that research at hand at this time. So that it's entirely possible...

DOA at the Senate?

I'm shocked, I tell ya - shocked! Police & prison guards are investing in fighting the California proposition to decriminalise marijuana. http://blog.sfgate.com/smellthetruth/2016/05/19/prison-guards-donate-to-keep-pot-illegal-in-california/ Vested interest much?

Did you notice that two states just voted to legalize marijuana for recreational purposes? Voters Ease Marijuana Laws in 2 States, but Legal Questions Remain IIRC a previous Supreme Court ruling held that the federal government could still enforce federal laws prohibiting marijuana under the...

Hey, I'm going to be filming a review of some documentary tonight, and I suspect it's going to be one of those MARIJUANA CURES EVERYTHING sort of docs. If y'all could post some good links to valid health claims on marijuana, that would be greatly appreciated. I'm already going through...

Hello! I would like to get any input from your wealth of knowledge about the medicinal qualities of marijuana. I didn't really want to discuss the political or social aspects of using/legalizing cannabis, as there are other forums to do just that. I however, am a medicinal patient, and have a...

I came across a 1997 Harvard study that found that the active ingredient in marijuana, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), cut tumor and lung cancer growth in half in lab and mice studies. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/04/070417193338.htm At first I was interested but skeptical. Although...

I was checking out the blog ":Little Green Footballs" today and found this little gem. :) http://littlegreenfootballs.com/article/37781_Pat_Robertson_is_Down_with_Weed http://www.mediaite.com/tv/pat-robertson-criminalizing-marijuana-is-ruining-young-people/ I'm not normally a fan of...

http://www.medicalmarijuana.net/ i figured i could learn from the educated members; perhaps some can assist with understanding what this program is all about.

Hi all, I have recently become interested in learning about medical uses for marijuana, they seem very far reaching. From stopping nausea, to treating mental illness (CBD's and CBN's within marijuana alledgedly can treat THC psychosis, if my memory serves me right) through to arthritis and MS...

what would be the result of the nation-wide legalization, regulation, and taxation of marijuana? could marijuana be adjusted and regulated by the FDA so that it is much less potent and intoxicating? how much federal and state tax revenue could be collected yearly? how much regular and gang...

Proposition 19 on the California ballot would legalize marijuana. I'm inclined to vote for it but an Anti-19 article has some arguments against it. One I have no knowledge of at all: What's the skinny here? Is this a valid concern?

At the suggestion of another forum member on another thread which was becoming off topic, I would like to discuss marijuana, and its link to adult onset schizophrenia, schizo-affective disorder and Bipolar Disorder. This is the post I left on the other thread: I've recently seen two young...

Ok so if putting a doper in jail doesn't work then what would you suggest would? My first cousin whom I loathe killed his wife during a drug induced argument. He beat her to death. Ok he served eight years and was released. He molested a five year old girl when he got out and served eight...

Everybody is trying to figure out how to fix the economy nowadays. I have always been a proponent of cannabis/hemp/medicinal legalization and full production of its various applications. If it didn't fix the economy outright, it would still go a long way toward helping it. What I am wondering...

More insanity from the front on the War On Drugs: here's a recently released video of a raid that took place in a private home in Columbia, MO in February 2010. A heavily armed SWAT team burst into a home where a seven year old child was present and shot the family's two dogs. The crime? They...

Linky I think that the political ground is shifting. This is probably going to pass. :) What will the Feds do then?

It has been alleged for years that the erradication of hemp from the US was a plot hatched by US robber barrons. I believe there is much credible evidence for this. Here's a nice start. Any comments? Thanks http://www.tpuc.org/content/marijuana-conspiracy "They say marijuana is dangerous. pot...

New study released SACRAMENTO — Medical marijuana is a promising treatment for some specific pain-related medical conditions, researchers from the University of California's Center for Medicinal Cannabis Research reported Wednesday. State-funded studies conducted over the past decade have...

If you believe there are positive aspects of marijuana prohibition, what are they and why?

Basically this is just a question I have that my friends are debating. Is marijuana harmful to an individuals memory? How harmful is it during your adolecences? If so, are you able to regain memory through some sort of brain power exercises?

I am talking across the board although I gave a choice of, "medical use only". I do realize that in some states medical marijuana is already legal. Obama said during his townhall internet meeting that he wouldn't consider this. I guess I can why, although its too bad.

http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D96FHJJ80&show_article=1 With this girl's help, the cops found one gram of pot. To put this in perspective, a penny weighs about 2.5 grams. The people at DARE must be very proud.

I have been thinking about psychoactive plant substances like marijuana (from the cannabis plant), opium and its derivatives morphine, heroine and codeine (from the opium poppy). We know what these substances do to the human system, but how did they evolve? What advantage, if any, do these...

http://www.kansascity.com/659/story/885761.html Sounds eerily like press gangs of the 17th and 18th centuries, or slavers throughout the Old World for centuries on end. The article isn't in enough depth, unfortunately, but this isn't the first such story I have seen in the news over the past...

Apparently not only can the administration of the last eight years prevent Afghanistan from becoming the largest supplier of heroin in the world it would appear they have also proved themselves either inept or complicit in the widening destruction and pollution of America's national parks by...

:cool:Cannabis, hemp, or marijuana is the world's most valuable plant yet it remains illegal in America. Valuable? How so? George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin, and virtually all of America's founding fathers believed hemp was the most commercially important crop in the world and...

Let me preface this with the fact that I don't do any illegal drugs at all. I drink alcohol rarely. I don't smoke, I don't even drink coffee. That being said, here's my question. Sorry for the length. Okay, there has been several threads dancing around this issue, and it may be a stupid...

Did Jesus of Nazareth smoked cannabis (or marijuana, weed, pot, the herb, ganja - whatever you call it)? Did he use the oils of the cannabis plant in his spiritual endeavors?

The ACLU has teamed with travel writer Rick Steves to produce "Marijuana: It's Time for a Conversation," a half-hour TV program about the history and current impacts of marijuana laws. The program is available to Comcast cable subscribers in western Washington, but local network stations have...
