But pot is much more dangerous than cigarettes as it makes you more aggressive and you are more likely to use heaver drugs. Sources: Life experience.

No you are wrong This is just an example of what pot does. Anywhere in Ireland, anything to do with drugs leads to crime and decay. And it all starts with pot, a friend offers you pot, you give into peer pressure, then you become an addict (most cases not all) then you start with harder drugs.Look I was in high school and had 5 friends that we always hung out together. 2 used pot.

I know doctors and engineers who smoke pot... It doesn't make them violent or anti-social, on the contrary... It makes them more sociable, like wine does... Drugs are always subjective in nature, that is each person has his/her own reaction to the substance. I will certainly assert that hard drugs like cocaine and meth are definitely dangerous and should never be legalized.People who smoke pot are cowards who can't face reality thus turning to pot to forget about reality and if anyone says what your doing is wrong they become aggressive. I have experienced this many times. It's a very slippery road and if it becomes legal, you know around the house a child can pick it up and get hooked. Are you prepared to risk the lives of children because you love smoking dope? (and harder drugs for a bigger kick)
Every drug prescription or not have side effects so why not ban them too then since they might lead to hard drug useBecause with pot being made legal like cigarettes you won't need a prescription and have as much as you like.

Yes goverment makes it weaker then pot heads will want stronger pot and we are in bigger trouble as the drug dealers can buy it legally now, no risk and just make it stronger and sell it for profit.Every drug prescription or not have side effects so why not ban them too then since they might lead to hard drug useBecause with pot being made legal like cigarettes you won't need a prescription and have as much as you like.
That being the case the government could regulate it and make pot a lot weaker.
The pot bought on the streets are laced with stuff making them m ore potent and dangerous.

I like how here in NorCal there is medical marijuana stores. There are many very potent strains but I think this is a good thing. Also it is relatively easy to grow the stuff {I did this for myself about 10 years ago}...Most of the people who go to the medical marijuana stores do not need it for medical reasons.

You don't need a prescription for cigarettes or alcohol which are both many times more dangerous than pot... Even the potent pot...
No, but as any logical person would assume that in most cases America or not, those stores aren't for the majority of people with a medical illness that they need pot. They are mainly junkies.I like how here in NorCal there is medical marijuana stores. There are many very potent strains but I think this is a good thing.

Those places you need a prescription and or a card that they can check to see if you are allowed to get the pot.
I'm all for it, take it further, legalize all drugs, let cocaine and heroin cost a nickel a hit, then the drek of society can quickly poison themselves to death and the rest of us won't have to deal with that scum.

The only reason they smoked pot was because they were troublemakers and pot was illegal. I know a friend who smokes pot, has a 97% average in high school, and is a really smart guy. He has a job, he's a junior in high school, he's even working out now and he still smokes pot. He doesn't agree that marijuana is a gateway drug because he personally believes that crack should be illegal and everybody who uses hard drugs should be put in jail. But he sees weed as a plant just like cigarettes.
Now let's get this over with and legalize it already. It's gonna happen when the younger generation takes over.
Let's legalize and tax the hell out of weed but throw any drug dealers in jail (increase sentences for marijuana dealers who are dealing without a license).
Wish I could be outraged by this, but I'm not. Hard to get incensed by a little Mary (no pun intended) when Bolshevik CA authorities are routinely letting murderous, raping schvartzes and other scum walk out of jail after a couple years or not charging them at all.
But the point is, did they use pot because they loved the feeling, or because it was illegal and they felt like they were making a statement against society.Because they loved the feeling, that's all they used to talk about how high it made them feel, eg. "I was smoke a spliff while joyriding. It feels better to do that high because it takes all the fear away of being caught".
But pot doesn't make you agressive. It makes you mellow and hungry. Millions of people in the world are smoking it as we speak and how many of those are stealing or fighting?

This is total BS... Pot is not a 'gateway drug' and I have known many who used it while attending university. It also doesn't make you aggressive, it makes you more mellow and less likely to be violent. I used it for almost 20 years and never had I become violent because of pot...
PS: Many more cigarette smokers are more violent than pot smokers..

Muman, that is hard on your kidneys. Try drinking water instead of coke, and if you must, you can add sugary apple juice to your water. Each day decrease the amount of apple juice from the water until you get used to the water alone. The only time you should have coke is at the movies with popcorn. That wouldn't hurt your system like drinking a six pack a day. I wish you luck in kicking your soda habit.

1. Legalizing drugs does lead to increased drug use. Every European country that has legalized drugs now has a severe drug addiction problem which is much worse than it was when the drug was illegal. Legalization is like giving a stamp of approval to drug use and that greatly increases drug use among young people who have to decide whether to try it or not.
2. Marijuana is definitely a gateway drug for many people. Most heroin, cocaine, crack and meth addicts started with marijuana. The vast majority of recovering addicts will tell you that marijuana started them down the road to self-destruction. I personally met many hardcore junkies who started out smoking joints.
3. Even many people who do not take other drugs but only stay with marijuana become potheads. Potheads are marijuana addicts - yes, marijuana can be addictive. Again, I know quite a few people who ruined their lives with marijuana. They smoke several times a day and feel that they cannot function without it. They are constantly seeking more potent weed to get them high.
4. The fact that cigarettes and booze are also destructive does not justify increasing the destructive effects of marijuana. Because people are addicted to cigarettes and to alcohol, we should make marijuana an even bigger problem?
5. When Rudy Giuliani ordered the New York police to crack down even on the sale of small amounts of marijuana and to crack down on marijuana use, it was one of the factors that led to a dramatic drop in the city's crime rate.

Thank you... I know that I can quit when I want to... Over the High Holiday period last week I went for three days without drinking a coke. I had a headache for the 1st day but by Yom Kippur the headache was gone.
Thanks and I will once again attempt to cut down my coke consumption.

I am always astonished by the number of regular contributors to this forum, otherwise calm and sober, who freely admit to drug use whenever the subject is raised. In the UK, marijuana is currently being re-criminalised because of recognition of the damage done by the drug, which is now twenty times stronger than when it was smoked 30 years ago by the crack-heads in government who dreamed up the idea of decriminalising it in the first place. It's strength, however, is irrelevant - of course it's a gateway drug! Anyone who has ever worked in a shop will know the dangers posed by even slightly drugged-up youths, and by an apathetic police force who are half drugged-up themselves with their own free supplies. Anyone who has ever been in a car crash involving a druggie will know the same feeling. In either case, the civil liberties of the druggies are irrelevant.

The issue of whether it is a gateway drug is debatable because scientific evidence is otherwise. Many people here have experience that it is not. Nobody is advising anyone to do anything. But Marijuana is definately not a major issue, it should certainly be decriminalized.
There are many 'drugs' which should be illegal and nobody here is suggesting that they all should be legalized or de-criminalized... But there are many good reasons for pot to be decriminalized.
PS: More people die in car crashes due to alchohol than all other drugs combined. By your logic it should be outlawed.

Off the top of my head here are two:
1) Reduce the overcrowding of jails which currently requires the state to release prisoners before their sentence is completed. Overcrowding is caused by filling jails with minor offenders of drug laws. The amount of money the state can save due to housing 'pot criminals' will be reduced.
2) Taxing the substance and regulating it. This will provide an important revenue stream in CA which is currently issuing IOUs to teachers and other state workers...
There are other benefits also but I will start with these two...
I think the police should go after people actually harming others rather than harassing someone smoking pot.They are also more likely to harm you while their high. And another note, it will increase patients in hospitals as it causes cancer. I heard somewhere it is twice as likely you will get cancer than smoking cigarette's. Also if it becomes legal, it will be cheaper and more readily available, thus increasing death rates.
I've never used it and never plan to, but I don't think it's so horrible it needs to be illegal.

Researchers investigating the role of cannabis in cancer therapy reveal it has the potential to destroy leukaemia cells, in a paper published in the March 2006 edition of Letters in Drug Design & Discovery. Led by Dr Wai Man Liu, at Barts and the London, Queen Mary’s School of Medicine and Dentistry, the team has followed up on their findings of 2005 which showed that the main active ingredient in cannabis, tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, has the potential to be used effectively against some forms of cancer. Dr Liu has since moved to the Institute of Cancer in Sutton where he continues his work into investigating the potential therapeutic benefit of new anti-cancer agents.
Through the results of widespread experimentation of the... well... let's say "non-scientific" variety, it's pretty well known that marijuana has the side effect of making the user very hungry. This is one of the many physiological effects of the active ingredient THC (Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol). More relevantly, however, THC and other cannabinoids are actively being investigated for various useful clinical purposes, including the treatment of cancer through the inhibition of tumor growth.
A new study by Salazar et al. in The Journal of Clinical Investigation demonstrates that THC causes tumor cells to begin to degrade themselves from the inside (a process called autophagy, i.e. "self-eating"). Although autophagy has been shown to promote cell survival in some cases and cell death in others, the authors show that in this case it causes cancer cells to undergo programmed cell death (apoptosis). Thus, THC activates a series of events within cancer cells, inhibiting tumor growth.
U will do well in Tzefat
IZ,
When I smoked it I had none of those effects...
1) I held a good paying job.
2) I learned new programming languages and operating systems.
3) I drove to work and had no tickets or legal problems.
4) I never had asthma or any other breathing related problems.
Maybe I am just a lucky guy but others I know also did not have these effects. I was concerned about memory loss so I tested myself and discovered that my learning ability was improved when I smoked. I would take an encyclopedia and open it to ten random pages, and look at the first entry of each page... I would read the article and then I would ask someone to quiz me about those topics at a later time. In all cases I retained the topic and could remember verbatim what the article said. To me this indicated that my memory was not being lost due to smoking. To this day some people think I have a photographic memory because I usually remember when and where I found various bits of information.
I am tired of arguing about this.
All I can conclude is that everyone has different reactions to substances and drugs.
PS: Thank Hashem that I survived some of the phases of my life. I live each day in awe of this world and must give credit to the Creator of all things... Every day I say blessings on things in my life because I know I don't deserve the great mercy which has been shown to me in this life...
That doesn't mean that it doesn't affect most people, or that the people who seem not to suffer any ill effects are really not experiencing any. Look at lung cancer for instance--weed isn't filtered so it has a lot more tar.
I hope they put it on the ballot and the people vote it down. This would be a huge blow for Marijuana smokers. This of course is assuming the people have enough common sense to vote it down like they did with gay marriages.
Calling it medical is a tricky way to bias voters. While terminal patients should be allowed to make certain ethical decisions regarding options to extend their lives, the fact that they are dying should not place them above the law. Just because someone is terminal doesn't mean he should murder and steal or commit small infractions such as littering.
Muman, THC is known to ease nausea and improve appetite. That's about it. Its other "curative" powers are mythical, to put it gently.

I posted five or six scientific studies which show that Marijuana has qualities which supress the growth of cancer and you call it a myth... I dont think you looked at the research...

It's not about extending life. It's about making the passage to death less painful. Terminal means they're going to die of their disease.
If it was legal, they wouldn't be breaking the law. I think reducing nausea, giving some measure of pain relief, and increasing their desire to eat would probably give more quality to their remaining life. I don't see what's wrong in giving them medicines that would make them more comfortable.

Because Marijuana is not the only or the most effective drug that someone can obtain. It is smoked for social purposes. Personally, I'm not against someone taking drugs in a controlled environment such as a hospital under the correct conditions, but given the nature of Marijuana, people who are not terminal are going to find ways to qualify. Then they are going to start smoking it in clubs and public places where general smoking is illegal. G-d forbid someone asks them to stop, there will be discrimination law suits.
Some time back I worked with a person that came down with heart and Kidney failure. If this wasn't enough in the last year of his life he also developed cancer. He found that pot helped him with the pain and also increased his appetite. His children and grand children would buy it from the local dealers because he was not able to get it through legal means. He was lucky enough to have childred and grandchildren willing to do this for him however what is a sick person to do when the people around them are unwilling to do so. Why should this substance not be used as any other prescription drug when prescribed by a doctor if its helpful to the sick and dying.If it was legal, they wouldn't be breaking the law.

Personally, I'm not against someone taking drugs in a controlled environment such as a hospital under the correct conditions, but given the nature of Marijuana, people who are not terminal are going to find ways to qualify. Then they are going to start smoking it in clubs and public places where general smoking is illegal. G-d forbid someone asks them to stop, there will be discrimination law suits.
I agree with Ruby Stars. There is a person in my life with chronic, and a very painful disease that needs medical marijuana to help alleviate the pain. And I don't give a dammm what anybody here says, I mean anybody, about their problems with legalizing medical marijuana. I don't care about your issues with it! I get pretty emotional when people try to lay their crap on me, when some someone I love dearly, is in chronic pain.
Some time back I worked with a person that came down with heart and Kidney failure. If this wasn't enough in the last year of his life he also developed cancer. He found that pot helped him with the pain and also increased his appetite. His children and grand children would buy it from the local dealers because he was not able to get it through legal means. He was lucky enough to have childred and grandchildren willing to do this for him however what is a sick person to do when the people around them are unwilling to do so. Why should this substance not be used as any other prescription drug when prescribed by a doctor if its helpful to the sick and dying.If it was legal, they wouldn't be breaking the law. I think reducing nausea, giving some measure of pain relief, and increasing their desire to eat would probably give more quality to their remaining life. I don't see what's wrong in giving them medicines that would make them more comfortable.

I believe this country has alot more to worry about than the fight against marijuana! I support legalization of marijuana! I think they should take all the money they are using to fight pot and aim that into securing our borders and deporting illegal aliens!
I think regular cigarettes are worse than pot because people tend to smoke more cigarettes and get addicted to them.

I smoked weed between 13 and 14 and I quit in 1 time. Opposing hipness I stopped smoking and drinking at 15. Stopping to drink was easy, but stopping smoking was real hard. It took about 3/4 year to fully quit.

Here we go again. As I have stated before in this thread, you make pot legal, then drug dealers have an easier time obtaining it to make it a more dangerous drug. And then you'll have more hippies on the scene saying "well if you made pot legal why not cocaine, heroin, meth etc". This seems to me the only people who want it legalized, is the idiots who use it.Here is one more link:

You know the old saying...
You make Pot illegal and you make a lot more people criminals... These kinds of things would not happen if there was no illegal market for it. The logic which makes sense to me is... Decriminalize pot and then there is no illegal market for it.
