Is MJ really THAT bad?

[Guest 18340]

Read this self serving shit. Just about the only bad thing MJ doesnt do is make your dick fall off. www.theantidrug.com/drug_info/drug-info-marijuana.asp[/url]

Care to point out what you find incorrect? Just curious.

 

[Guest 18340]

Never said anything was incorrect. But its definately not as bad as they make it out to be

At the bottom of the apge, click on "Learn more about the risks of marijuana and the dangers to kids".

CASA also states that teens who have used marijuana are four times more likely to have been pregnant or to have gotten someone pregnant than teens who have never smoked pot.

wow... just wow... from my experiences, and experiences with male and female friends who like to smoke pot... marijuana makes you LESS sexually active. people who smoke pot every day tend to chill and hang out rather than get DRUNK and go to bars/parties and have sex

the article is definately biased and misleading, although most of the info is pretty accurate. to someone who doesn't know much about weed, the site is very misleading

 

[Duggan18]

...and i hadn't even finished reading the article

''And don't be fooled by popular beliefs. Kids can get hooked on pot. Research shows that marijuana use can lead to addiction. Each year, more kids enter treatment with a primary diagnosis of marijuana dependence than for all other illicit drugs combined.''

there's no way in hell that's true. marijuana CAN be addicting, but not any more than chocolate or ice cream can be for some people. the last sentence of the quote is definately not true.

I love proving this shit wrong.

I don't like to boast at all, but for the purpose of this discussion I will...

At my college, Ive been on the deans list from semester 1. I received an award this past year for having the highest GPA in my class and have written award winning business plans.

My hope is that the college asks me to speak at the graduation in some way....If this were the case I would love to take that opportunity to say "I'm living proof that pot has no more dangers than a pot of coffee" or something along those lines. I would love to be given that opportunity. We need to start proving that we don't just sit on the couch blazing watching cheech and chong or playing video games....although they are favorite past times.

 

[Duggan18]

luckily those ''past'' times fill 90% of my time, school the other 10%

and i get pretty good grades, 3rd year uni

LOL just hope there are no recruiters at your graduation.

I don't think it's wrong, I just think it's grossly exagerated and it says "these ARE the effects of pot" rather than "These CAN BE the effects of pot". I mean we all have a freind of a freind who experiences one of these effects. But these wankers are saying that anyone who smokes pot will experience all of them when really it's more like 1 in 10 may experience 1 of them (just an example not a proper stat).
peace

I find it funny how people think cannabis is this super powerful force that changes people completely. Its often used as a scapegoat, even by regular users. No attention is given to a persons personality when describing the effects of cannabis. Quite often in my experience the effects are very different from person to person.

Cannabis use among troubled people is often a symptom or a result of their troubles, rather then being the cause of their troubles. It is a powerful drug in the way it makes you feel, but I honestly don't think it has the power to completely change someone.

You can use statistical data to show your bias, simply by excluded certain data.

Fuck, and too think that this joint I'm smoking right now should've paid for that abortion I had when I was 17. Either this joint or the 10$ bottle of vodka and Xanax are to blame for this.

Ok, so give examples of what you mean

 

[Ohh.Word]

 

[asa42]

they sure have learned how to twist half truths, bad research, & believed myths into propaganda! the info is still based on bogus research which aparently has kept up w/ the times in continually comin up w/ new scares.

if it isnt obvious, i dont think mj is that bad!

 

[Guest]

I feel like researchers are like the guy in the end of the game twisted metal. You know how your character gets one wish and then *this his name was calypso* would twist it and usually have the person end up dead.

Each year, more kids enter treatment with a primary diagnosis of marijuana dependence than for all other illicit drugs combined.'

That probably has something to do with the "War on Drugs" and sending kids that get caught with a joint to rehab.

It's very easy to make a mountain out of a molehill with a scapegoat & a little propaganda.

 

[Guest]

More propaganda.
