There is nothing wrong with cannabis. More people die from fast food, tobacco, alcohol, perscription drugs, and other thing than they do with cannabis. Actually, there are no reported deaths from its use. Why? because you would have to consume 5 - 6 times your body mass within an hour. You would pass out by the time you smoked the weight of your hand. Scientists have recently begun treating brain cancer victims with pure THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), the part that makes yo high, and it has resulted in the victims brain tumors to shrink considerably. They have theorized that it may help prevent tumors and brain cancer. But this is in it purest form. The only harm that comes from marijuana is the smoking of it. Smoking anything is bad...you could smoke tree bark and it would be bad for your lungs. Inhaling smoke = bad. However, there are ways to "smoke" it that reduce the harmfull smoke effects. There are also ways to eat it and avoid the harmful smoke completely.

Another study showed that subject that smoked marijuana and then studied did better than those that where sober. Same goes for alcohol. But like anything...you have to use it in moderation.

So yes, Marijuana should be legal. In all forms to everyone. Treat it like alcohol and tobacco.

I choose cannabis for a variety of reasons that ultimately improve my health and quality of life. More popular legal ways of catching a buzz do indeed provide a fun buzz, but do the exact opposite-they weaken health and immunity.


It's a great part of my lifestyle and many others. I'm sure your daughter is just fine.

it sounds really cool and respectable when you call it cannabis, not at all like dope or marijuana which we usually associate with pot heads and losers.

How do you want to talk about cannabis? Absolutley, cannabis is marijuana, but why do you think that all people are pot heads and losers? Please explain...

Young girls get gang banged there all the time. You should be concerned. Maybe she'll get lucky and not have a perv jump her. Reality Brother. No place for a Stanford premed IMO.
If she goes anyway-- tell her to watch her drinks for spiking with knockout drugs,

I've seen a few documentaries, suggested by my friends, about cannibis and hemp being natural cures for cancer and sicknesses. Quite a few videos on youtube on the subject.

I would like it legalized only so that so much money didn't have to be wasted on 'the war on drugs'.

I left something out, my oldest son is with her, they are together, my son will look out for her. But, they are going to go and smoke cannabis in the coffee shops. Is that bad?
