Many myths about marijuana. Marijuana is not the innocuous drug that some believe it to be.

[Crim]

REEFER MADNESS!

[vivalaoink]

Odd. My wife and I both managed to acquire post-graduate degrees, be employed in relatively lucrative jobs, pay our taxes, and stay out of jail...all while smoking marijuana from time to time.

Shocking.

Would have been better in document form, so I could have just read it.

But I suppose youtube is a better way to get the attention of the stoners that it's for.

Or else they just zoned out to the funky music . . .

[dsrtsage]

Dammit...you beat me to it by seconds.

[Nate505]

That was entirely unimpressive. If that’s the best the drug warriors have pot will be legal quite soon.

Maybe the pro pot side can counter with their own studies on a 20 minute powerpoint presentation! Although they may not quite have the same semi-ominous music this one had.

[april15Bendovr]

The music is something I put together just for videos. The libs and potheads always like to make copyright complaints so they can have videos pulled that don’t match their agenda.

I remember listening to the Art Bell show one night when a guy called in and did a bong hit on the air. Art asked him for his Social Security number and the guy gave it...on live radio (Art bleeped it). Pretty funny.

Its only a small sample of what I have on my page. I guess I’m no match for High Times Magazine.

[april15Bendovr]

Art had a lot of Bong toting time travelers calling into his show.

You are assuming that there is no damage.

Google EPIGENOMICS and learn that exposure to toxins, drugs, chemicals, etc often don’s show up for 2 or 3 generations. Why do you think we have run-away rates of everything from breast cancer to mental health issues, to ADD, etc that are “untraceable” to current exposure levels? Read about epigenomics and you may find the sins of the parents are visited on the children....

Also, you may be aware the recent Tucson shooter had mental health issues his friends claim happened after long binges of dope smoking. It’s a FACT that some drugs INCREASE the occurance of mental illness.....Duh!

But please, don’t let the fact it may not be good for people get in the way of a little recreational drug use.

Crossing the prairies in covered wagons was more dangerous than we ever thought?

[tallyhoe]

I believe this to be true!

[BereanBrain]

I don’t care *what* it is that you light up and breath in the smoke of — there are 1,000s of compounds generated by the oxidation process. Does ANYBODY actually think it’s good to suck in smoke?

No we just need to be hip dudes - it’s mother nature, man, she can’t make bad stuff.

Yeah right. Last time I checked nature was pretty good at making all sorts of stuff that’s not good for you. “Natural” can kill you just as good as “manmade”

[TigersEye]

“Natural” can kill you just as good as “manmade”

Very true which is why I choose not to be neurotic about any of it.

[I see my hands]

If there were such a thing as a "gateway" drug then surely it is caffeine, nicotine, or alcohol. But since the gateway concept is screwball it's really none of them. The true gateway high is twirling around to get dizzy as a child. Degenerate five year olds!

I am coming to think more and more that the Public School system is far more dangerous to intelligence than Marijuana and Alcohol combined.
I was, just this week, told by a lawyer that “it is established Constitutional Law that the restrictions or mandates of a Constitution are subject to ‘reasonable’ limitations.” {This was in reference to my bringing up the question of what legal authority the municipal/county/state courts have to post “NO WEAPONS” when the State Constitution says, in part: “No law shall abridge the right of the citizen to keep and bear arms for security and defense”}

I’m a computer programmer, and if I took that approach to programming then you would be RATIONAL to fear anything with a computer control; after all the equivalent is saying “Assert Denominator /= 0” means it is perfectly acceptable to have a Denominator = 0 because 0 is close to 1 (and this computer can have a denominator of 2^32 possible values) and 1 /= 0.

Some things are best left to peoples' personal judgment. In my case, I don't use any recreational drugs other than alcohol. I don't care what anyone else does to his body, even if he goes mad or gets an infection from his tongue piercing.

I am concerned that my country is bankrupt and that we may go into an economic death-spiral and that we have failed to educate whole generations of inner-city kids. So, for me, fear of pot and fear of trans-fats is a distraction from more serious matters.

HEHE....I’m usually the one posting that sentence...
