My mother listened to that song, I don't think she ever knew what that song was about as I didn't until I asked someone many years later.....I also did not know what the Beatles Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds was about" until later also.....

Gee, let me guess how this thread turns out - a bunch of dopers in denial attacking the credibility of the article by besmearching the person and the content of the article in order to try and lessen the impact of said article and in the hopes that the 15 billionth thread going pro pot by the usual suspects will change anyone's minds on the subject as though hearing the childishness yet again, we should suddenly experience a moment of light rather than ignore the threads for a further few months till we stop in to see the dopers at it the next time. Grow up, get a job and obey the law. And thank you for your support.

I said 'lost', as in they went from being potentially successful students to dropouts within a semester of starting pot.

I also mean lost as in dead too, from accidents, crime..

Face it, this BS of drugs is nothing but trouble. It's people that can't or won't get it that I hate.

Marijuana and hashish come from the hemp plant, cannabis sativa.

There are numerous chemicals found in marijuana and hashish. 'Cannabinoids' is the name for the family of chemicals found in Marijuana.

The primary active ingredient that produces intoxication for the user is Delta-9- tetrahydrocannabinol, THC. (THC and Cannabinoids,CBD

Or, in other words, pot is pot is pot is MJ is hash.

Users frequently react in a paranoid manner when confronted with the facts concerning the origin of their favorite "herb". None of them wishes to be mistaken for a Yemeni mountain tribesman.

I'm sure to a cokehead I would, and of that I'm proud.

Havoc, you got it. The usual gang of dopers are here in force, in support of their addiction. Sad.

Proving his point. Second amendment rights and guns have nothing to do with each other.

Here's a trial attorney's site and I think he would disagree with you concerning "death due to marijuana use". http://personalinjurylawpage.com/safety-health/t-alcohol.htm

I think I'll take his advice on the matter since he makes his living suing users, eh?!
