Comments on: Reasons Not to Smoke Pot…Teens Might Listen To http://www.radicalparenting.com/2009/01/31/reasons-not-to-smoke-potteens-might-listen-to/ Parenting From The Kids Perspective Mon, 06 Feb 2012 15:51:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: GrantGG7 http://www.radicalparenting.com/2009/01/31/reasons-not-to-smoke-potteens-might-listen-to/comment-page-1/#comment-40215 GrantGG7 Tue, 06 Dec 2011 05:46:00 +0000 http://www.onteenstoday.com/?p=2236#comment-40215 I have no friends who smoke, i do not smoke. I don't watch much TV either. I've been studying weed for my college research paper and i found out that... weed is about as dangerous as... one of the worst drugs you know of... yes, I'm talking about alcohol. Well, actually it isn't; alcohol, like weed, is a depressant but you don't have the negative effects that alcohol has. If you took anyone and made them drink until they couldn't see, they have a 80% chance of dying unless medical care is administered. If you took that same person or a different person (it doesn't matter) with perfect health, and forced smoke into their lungs until they, well i don't know what! they would eat a kitchen, then 3-8 hours later would get up and do something normal to their everyday lives. You cannot overdose on marijuana, get marijuana poisoning, or simply die of weed attack. The benefits definitely outweigh the costs and if you think that 1000 children dying over the span of a war is bad, look at the death rates for children and alcohol pray to the lord for those innocent children's life back. Weed is not a drug, It is a cure. I have no friends who smoke, i do not smoke. I don’t watch much TV either.

I have smoked. I have friends who smoke. The difference is that I've only smoked once, and I regard it as one of the stupidest things I've ever done. First of all, I think its disgusting when I hear about how \baked\ my stoner friends get over the weekend, or how \trippy\ school is when they are high in class. Before the long line of stoner commenters above me berate me, I would like to propose just one more reason not to smoke pot. Today, 4/1/11, a ten year old boy and his father were killed by a drug cartel on the mexican-US border. They were eating at a burrito stand. Why are these drug cartels in existence? POT, COCAIN, HEROINE, AND THE UNITED STATES' INSATIABLE CONSUMPTION OF NARCOTICS. Now I know a stoner will read this and scream in between bong hits \HEY WEED ISN'T A NARCOTIC\. In my opinion, if its altering brain function its a fucking narcotic. But that's beside the point. What Im trying to say is that PEOPLE DIE FOR YOU TO SUCK YOUR BONG. Over 1000 mexican children have been killed because of the drug war going on in Mexico (quite the thing to be a martyr for, right? A fatass american sucking a bong) All of the violence is caused by the United States demand for drugs. If there were no demand, there would be no war. If there were no war, maybe Mexico would finally have a stable government. As the user above said: \Kill the world with ignorance i guess right?\ (Of course he was making a bullshit point about why its ok for him to smoke weed) In conclusion, I support legalization because it will end the bloodshed in Mexico, as a legal production/consumption system would be created and there would be no need for organized crime (prohibition was pretty god damn similar). but guess what, ITS STILL ILLEGAL. So lay off the damn grass, get a life with some real happiness, and think before you light up. Mexican blood is on your grass. Im a teen. I have smoked. I have friends who smoke.

You know what should be a crime? Giving false information like this. You should be THROWN IN JAIL for LIEING to MILLIONS. Cannabis is the miracle plant, much safer then any drug on the market today. It was only in VERY recent history it has been outlawed. It has been outlawed purely to MAKE A SMALL FEW IN BIG INDUSTRIES RICH. You have been lied to, or you are one of them. You do not have to smoke it, but you should all try it and make an informed decision. Also, if you drink you are killing yourself FASTER. ALCOHOL will kill you from withdrawal! EVEN HEROIN CAN NOT DO THAT. Read a book that is not biased by the government. Listen to DR's from the past 6 decades and their discussion about how THEY NEVER WANTED TO MAKE IT ILLEGAL. They LIED to us and called cannabis MARIJUANA to do 2 things: 1. MAKE THE RICH RICHER by handing over a monopoly to paper, oil, plastics, pharmaceuticals and the rope industry to name just a few. They are killing your environment on your dime and you believe their LIES. 2. TO BRING DOWN THE MINORITY RACES by stating mexicans and blacks were smoking the crazy weed called 'marijuana' which was coined 'marijuana' to bring the false impression that this was a new super drug and not CANNABIS. They instilled FEARS into white men by saying the black men would steal white women away by luring them in with 'marijuana' and JAZZ music. DO YOU BELIEVE THESE LIES? DO YOU BELIEVE IN ERADICATING ANY PLANT THAT HAS NOT HARMED ANYONE EXCEPT THE MILLIONS UPON MILLIONS OF CRIMINALS THE LAW HAS MADE OUT OF HARMLESS INGESTION OF A PLANT, THAT WILL NEVER KILL ANYONE, EVER? Do you believe that Cannabis should be a SCHEDULE 1 DRUG above Morphine, Oxycodone, Amphetamine, Methamphetamine, and Cocaine all of which are SCHEDULE II! Do you believe all these lies when Cannabis HELPED WIN WORLD WAR I/II because WITHOUT this plant WE WOULD NEVER HAVE HAD ENOUGH MATERIALS TO CLOTHE OUR SOLDIERS among other important materials that were made out of cannabis? Welcome to AMERICA where we BUILT THIS COUNTRY ON THE CANNABIS PLANT, and then THREW IT AWAY FOR HARMFUL POLLUTANTS? Do you not care that the FIRST CAR was MADE PURELY OUT OF HEMP and RAN ON CLEAN BURNING, HEMP SEED OIL? Do you not care one acre of hemp can produce as much paper as 4 to 10 acres of trees over a 20-year cycle, but hemp stalks only take four months to mature, whereas trees take 20 to 80 years. This information was known in 1916, according to a USDA report. Hemp paper can also be recycled more often, though this fact is not of much value, since hemp is a reusable resource.

There are the conformists who go with the governments corporate game and says "oh it's bad for your health it's bad cuz you can get addicted". Well that's horse shit. What makes you think this so called government isn't just keepin it for themselves? Yes that's a completely stupid hypothesis... But who knows and the good sides of weed. It in fact isn't an addictive because it has never been chemically altered to give you an adrenaline rush therefore leaving it a natural resource and not killing any brain cells or damaging any part of the human body. sure it makes you do stupid things but that's the fun of it :) and honest to god if you end up killing someone on it then your obviously not mature enough to handle it. Oh and another thing if its soooo bad for you why are hospitals perscribing it to patients??? Yeah why would they give you something thats bad for you? That's something to think about. now about the legal reasons. the conformists all want it to be illegal so they can have some spare change in their pockets. So here's a tip make it Legal so we can import export to different countries and have a little more than some spare change in our pockets. I'm completely for the legalization of marijuana but I can live without it.

I smoke pot on occasions when I get extremely stressed out and cannot sleep, I refuse to take harmful prescription drugs and will never touch alcohol. Those of you against marijuana may has well legalize it and make alcohol illegal, alcohol has caused so much harm in peoples lives. Stop telling your kids marijuana "causes brain damage" or "impairs your functions" because this is utterly false, im in college and will soon be going to university, im a very active and live a healthy lifestyle. My boyfriend who smokes it everyday is doing the same. So when you think of these false statements regarding "brain damage" and such, maybe you should stop giving your attention to those who are giving the bad example and focus on those who are using it properly. Its like alcohol in the sense that, there are "mature" drinkers who know their limit and do not let the alcohol control them, who live happy functional lives unlike those ignorant teens who have been raised to think they cannot enjoy themselves or live life without it.

First of all, I used to smoke 3/4 times a week, ONLY kronic, for over a year. I haven't smoked in about a month and I haven't ever had any sort of "weed withdrawl" like a person who quit alcohol, or coke or any hard drugs. That is because there IS NO ADDICTIVE ANYTHING IN WEED. I mean, of course there are times when you would like some, it's only like missing an old friend :D Second, you aren't gonna die, you aren't gonna get cancer from the weed itself, lighter fluid and if you smoke blunts the tobacco from the papers do that. Smoke out of a good vaporizer! Perfectly fine! Nobody is gonna die from weed itself, if you smoke too much you know what terrible terrible thing happens?!?! A damn good nights sleep. Cops waste all this time and money on stoners when they could be looking for rapists or murderers!! Seriously, smoke a bowl of some dank weed with some good people and prepare for a good time. No offense to people who choose not to, but come on :D Okkaaayy. First of all, I used to smoke 3/4 times a week, ONLY kronic, for over a year.
