what about the people that are depressed taht smoke marijuana? and marijuana is not as bad for you as ciggartes witch BTW have cyanide wich is in rat poisen and it has tar what they make roads out of.


everytime you say something you just seem so much more retarded. for one you gotta be a retard to get caught. and MARIJUANA ISNT COKE so stop comparing them. i hate all these fucking people who need to compare weed to something stronger to take the focus away from the subject. im gonna take ur advice, being sober is great to, but OJ was sober and he killed bitches. if he was high as fuck that wouldve never happened. shouldve gave jeff daumer some bud, wouldnt of killed people.


One last thing: be careful about the friends you make with pot. Make sure that you are friends because of some reason other than pot. If you have a friend that only calls you when you get a bag, or only calls you when he wants to match, you might want to reconsider that friendship. Anyways, thats it for me. I look forward to seeing what you proponents of pot have to say about this. If your argument is well supported and true then i think this could be pretty interesting.


Me and my bf are gonna smoke after school.Right now im in computer class texting him like " Damn i cnt wait to smoke that shit!" like damn. and hey two seats down is the ugliest bitch in the world!! IM SO HIGH~!~!~!

To users,

You only have to read the idiotic posts here to see quite clearly that marijuana damages your brain. It just makes you THINK that your brain isn't damaged. If you don't believe me then read the following link.


Captain Canabus

ok you people who are against smoking weed are retarded. smoking weed can't cause cancer because THC kills aging cells before they can get cancerous. smoking weed cures alzhemers, glaucoma, asthma. it helps eating disorders. it helps stress, insomnia, depression, and alot of other mental disorders. smoking weed does almost no harm to you and if you use a vaporizer that takes away the "almost" and does no harm. Barack Obama, George W. Bush, the band members of Bongzilla, George Washington, Ben Franklin, and many other famous, successful people have admitted they smoke weed. Thomas Jefferson grew weed. it makes people happy, you can't overdose on it, it doesnt cause a hangover, its not addictive physically, and its fuckin fun to smoke it. 


To Captain Canabus,

Did you read the link I just posted? Or are you too stoned?

Captain Canabus, do you think weed can cause mental illness?


U dont no what u are talking about when it comes to weed weed has never killed anyone theres so many people out there that smoke weed and there isnt anything wrong with them weed helps with alot of things and u would no that if u wasnt such a little bitch

I'm in College

All this haters need to smoke on joint and they'll see what we mean. BLAZE!!!!!!!!


yo anup ur full of it do sum real fukn research


yo anup ur full of it do sum real fukn research


Who ever said go have sex instead of smoking weed I have only 1 question for you... Have you ever fucked on weed? Nuff said Beaaatch




When it comes down to it there are far worse drugs out there than weed.  Alcohol and Cigarettes are much worse for you than weed is.  There are many benefits to weed but you can't deny that ther must be some bad things as well. 

So as far as I can tell, if your aware of the disadvantages of weed yet you still want to do it then go for it.  just accept the consequences if they happen to ocurr. 

At the end of the day, if your happy to have a few drinks down at the pub, of a cigarette after a meal, then whats wrong with having the odd joint, when it is FACT that it is no where near as harmful?!?!

Oh and also I've read in many articles that the only test conducted to see if weed can cause brain damage was done on monkeys, and they literally gave them 1000s of spliffs worth of smoke in 20 minutes.  This did give the monkeys brain damage,, However, they forgot that the monkeys little brains need oxygen!! So really there are no tests (to my knowlege) that prove weed causes brain damage!


Captain Cannabis

It's Captain C-A-N-N-A-B-I-S or are YOU too stoned.
Weed is Great
Weed is FUN
I think Weed IS no. 1

Get High not Stoned or Drunk. I believe getting High is a God given ability to feel extremely relaxed, confident, patient, creative, energetic, along with heightened concentration, self discipline, awareness with the ability to step outside of oneself to be more objective and to accomplish ones dreams and ambitions. Being an x pot smoker I believe people need to get high, not stoned. With this in mind I created self hypnosis cd's which I am giving away for free at Freehigh.net. Pick from Free High Cannabis, Free High 100% Proof and Free High Natural as an alternative to pot and alcohol.  Please visit freehigh.net for your free CD.

as for the marijuana has never been linked to psychological problems one study has shown that heavy use of marijuana from adolescents to adulthood can bring out symptoms of schizophrenia in people who have a genetic predisposition for it just to clarify  


I agree with almost every argument  stated in this article, however, would all this data still qualify for underage smokers/experimenters? I have a 14 year old teenager that wishes to smoke for 4-20-09, which in the "Pothead" world, this refers to the legal time/date that smoking is preferred to occur due to several Urban Legends. 

I, however, have a problem with underage use of any kind. I am a user for stress relief as well as for social use and do not wish to seem hypocritical of this topic, but find myself at an in-pass in stating my rational on why he/she should not partake in an a mind altering substance, at such a young age. I always refer to the phrase and philosophy of KIT "Keeping It Local," as well as, NU3 "No Unsupervised Underage Use." 




i had a dream

were one day i will  wake up and just be able to walk to a right aid or seven eleven and buy myself a quarter of kush and smoke legaly in my house with no worries about getting caught and just bein able to chil with homies and smoke all day long


i myself dont just smoke for the hell of it all the time. i stress alot and there are things that a boogie jus cant fx. wen i smoke weed its like all my problems were pushed aside. so wat if its only for just 1hr. i hate it wen ppl say shit like that. let me have my hour then cuz trust me u dont wanna be there if im not high. its just a plant and if u jus so happen to set it on fire shit happens..i myself am a true weed head and for everyone else who doesnt agree who cares?? no one says u hav to be there wen someone else is smokin n no one says u hav to buy.

Yeah It's True That Marijuana Doesn't Really Damage The Brain But Be Very Careful My Ex Said The Same Thing.. Then From There He Wondered How It Would Feel To Do Other Drugs! Next Thing You Know He Becomes Addicted To Crystal Meth! (The Worst Drug You Can Use!) Shit Like That Happens Because You Just Start Not Really Caring and That Drug Just Makes You Lazy and SlOow at Understanding Things!


Seriously, what is up with everyone saying weed is the gateway drug. Tobacco is really the gateway drug and its legal and a whole lot more harmful.

The National Institute on Drug Abuse found that 12 to 17 year olds who smoke cigarettes are:

  • 14 times more likely to abuse alcohol,
  • 100 times more likely to smoke marijuana, and
  • 32 times more likely to use cocaine than their nonsmoking peers. (1.)
    • 14 times more likely to abuse alcohol,
    • 100 times more likely to smoke marijuana, and
  • Adolescents who smoke are more likely to be involved in risky behaviors than youth who have never smoked. (2.)
  • The National Institute on Drug Abuse found that:
    • 95% of high school seniors who smoke, tried illicit drugs, while only 27% of non-smokers tried illicit drugs;
    • 67.9% of smoking seniors did some heavy drinking, while only 17.2% of non-smoking seniors did some heavy drinking. (3.)
  • 2
    Just another guy


    I have a 3.4 cumulative G.P.A. as a History Major at OSU.  Last quarter I achieved a 3.8 while working a steady part time job.  I have a successful relationship (going on 3 years) and I'm working towards my Masters Program.  I've never missed a month of rent and I call my mother daily to see how she’s doing.

    However, I smoke weed once every 2 weeks.  So please forget everything I just listed, because we all know, once you start smoking weed all of the following are true:

    You’re a border line schizophrenic.
    Your apartment must be littered with empty pizza boxes and dirty laundry.
    You must be broke because you buy weed once and a while.
    You probably do cocaine.
    You probably do meth.
    You probably do other various drugs.
    You must not care about your education.
    You probably don't care about your personal apearance.
    Your friends must be pot heads.
    Your family hates you.
    And lastly, you do not contribute to society.

    Obviously I'm being a bit over dramatic, but I urge you to rethink the preconceived notion that all people who smoke weed are "potheads".  If someone tells you they drink alcohol, do you automatically assume they're an alcoholic? 

    Marijuana does not impair your sense of moderation.  Moderation is a personal choice that family values and education instill.  Don't use the worst examples of dead-beat potheads to crucify marijuana.  Intelligent people have used it and I consider myself among their ranks.

    That being said, I should have the freedom to choose my own lifestyle.  Even if you think smoking weed once a month is dangerous, isn't it my right, under the constitution, to choose it? 

    Now, I understand marijuana has its drawbacks.  I'm not going to argue that a little pot will cure every ailment known to man, because when it comes down to it, I just like getting high once and a while.  It relaxes me, and it spices up my sex life.  So please understand there are intellegent users out there. 

    So shove your moral majority up your ass and let me make my own "dumb" decisions.

    Remember, America, land of the free unless your gay, smoke weed, or like sociolism 

    jerica hell ya

    people who dont smoke weed are very angry people when you smoke it calms you down. so i think everyone should smoke weed and just chill then fuck out

    green is for me


    weed is a natural plant that grows in the ground. if people started to smoke grass and getting high off it wha the hell are they gonna do illegalize grass? people die more from proscripion drugs/acohol/ and ciggarettes. think about it its a save pain kill adville dose more damage to you body then weed.


    Well, I must agree that weed is a very fun drug to use.

    However, I have seen lives ruined by the use of Marijuana, I have seen kids who are "zombies" because of the use of marijuana.  They can not talk correctly, they're extremely slow when it comes to thinking.  They are also extremely slow when it comes to reaction time.   I myself do smoke marjuana, and I thouroghly enjoy it.  But I recognize the fact that it is bad for you.  It can be good, but it can also be bad.  Right now I am too tired to argue any further, and no I am not high and have not been for a good 2 weeks now.

    Oh ya, and weed is a gateway drug.  Because if you hadn't tried marijuana and experienced the resulting high, then why would you wonder how other highs felt and then acted upon it?

    I am not a meth head, coke head, heroin addict, etc.  But I have tried a lot of different drugs.  Why?  Because I wanted to see what those highs were like in comparison to the High of marijuna.  I have tried numerous pills, coke, heroin, and a few other things.  But my preffered high is Weed.

    Do I advise people to smoke weed?  No, actually I don't.

    Does the use of Marijuana ruin lives?  Yes, it does, I've seen it and it has had an extremely negative effect on my life (that being that I was kicked out of a $30,000 military school because of having 2 Tylenol 3 pills, which I had because I wanted to get high without having to smoke something, also, I became somewhat addicted to pain killers.)

    Does Marijuana effect the Brain?  Yes, it does, don't tell me otherwise, because I have seen it happen in my friends.  I went to a wilderness therapy program, where a lot of the kids were there, like myself, for the use of drugs.  I met this kid who was "permanently high" for a good month and a half or so after he stopped smoking weed.  Did he come down?   Yes, but it took a good month and a half, and the last I heard from him he was still sober after graduating the program.

    So please, quit it with all the bullshit about weed not ruining lives, effecting the brain, and other arguments brought up against it.

    Stoners live, Stoners die.
    Fuck the world, lets get high.
    Pot's a plant
    Grows in the ground.
    If God aint like it
    It wouldn't be around.
    So drink a fifth,
    And smoke a bowl.
    Party hard,
    Rock n' roll.
    To all you preps who think you're cool?


    Happy toking.

    "9. If you can name half as many people who smoke pot these days and are successful in life as you can people who dont smoke pot and are successful, then you are welcome to smoke."

    Fuck you, I have the right to smoke when ever I would like to. You are not one to say whether anyone should smoke. You can have your own opinions about things but before you post stupid shit that you believe which 90% of is complete bullshit, maybe you should look into scientific studies about it because ignorant assholes like you post stuff that you hear from others and believe it because you want to be able to say you have an opinion for something important so that you can look cool. Now, yes, it seems that it turns people into zombies, but you know what? its only for the time you do it, and most people do it on their own time, and when they need to relax. Also, I don't think it's fair you dissing people when many marijuana users are dieing. Sometimes cancer, other times aids. And your sitting here calling them "Zombies" and unsuccessful in life when marijuana can help them and for most of them, it's their only hope. How could you sit there calling people with AIDS and Cancer unsuccessful with out feeling like a complete asshole? Some of these people wont even live to be 30, and you sit here bashing them. Next time think about the hole picture.


    fuck that shit legalize it all that shit is true but i dont know bout the glaucoma shit but im a pot smoker my self and i do that shit couse my life is all fucked up and i just wanna get away from the shit by smoking a blunt
