Corporations are owned by powerful people. If the news tells the public marijuana is bad, another dirty drug dealer is raided, or other marijuana related material, the public BELIEVES blown up properganda! Look people, the Nazi's did the same exact thing with the Jews. They made porperganda video's about how jews are bad, really bad, so bad we should get rid of them, and the public ate that up! When people who sit in front of a TV all night, or open a magazine, or turn on the radio, they let whatever they are doing decide what they think. Magazines tell us what is pretty and what is ugly. Advertisments everywhere brainwash the public everywhere. Think for yourself about this one. Government tells you marijuana is bad, do not believe it. Find the facts as stated above, all exept #5, and fight for marijuana to be legal people! Marijuana is not going to legalize itself. This is a fantastic medical treatment for people who are suffering with cancer and dying! Let's start signing petitions, and attending rally organizations. Doing so does not make you a pot head or stoner or druggie, it makes doing what is right, right. Fight the power! Liberate yourselves, stop waiting for someone else to do it, get out there and spread the TRUTH about marijuana.

Many times after I felt like levitating off the earth. It would make me freak out like my heart racing and I would get crazy thougts and thought I was going to die. This stuff sucks ass I can only smoke a little tiny bit and it makes me feel good if I smoke even one big puff I feel like I am flying off the planet and colors and kaleidoscopes and I see angels and demons and God and prophets and it's fucked up shit and I did LSD and that just made my arms like in Alice in wonderland but the evil herb makes me levitate and talk to demons and that shit sucks and it made me schizophrenic and I had 400 voices in my head we were all talking about shit and they'd show me the future and I saw many things that actually came true because the demons and angels would talk to me on marijuaba.

And the fact that some people develop a habit doesn’t mean that others can’t enjoy it responsibly and that goes for lots of drugs. At the same time just be aware that if you do overdo it you may develop some kind of dependence, even if it’s only psychological, so just make sure you monitor your use of any drug, to make sure you enjoy it as responsibly as possible.

Essentially all drugs are used in "an addictive fashion" by some people. However, for any drug to be identified as highly addictive, there should be evidence that substantial numbers of users repeatedly fail in their attempts to discontinue use and develop use-patterns that interfere with other life activities. National epidemiological surveys show that the large majority of people who have had experience with marijuana do not become regular users. In 1993, among Americans age 12 and over, about 34% had used marijuana sometime in their life, but only 9% had used it in the past year, 4.3% in the past month, and 2.8% in the past week. A longitudinal study of young adults who had first been surveyed in high school also found a high "discontinuation rate" for marijuana. While 77% had used the drug, 74% of those had NOT used in the past year and 84% had NOT used in the past month. Compare this to a truly addictive drug, such as the nicotine in smoked tobacco with a 90% addiction rate, and the argument for possible marijuana addiction starts to sound very silly.

One study said they were able to track the damage to as little as one joint. And every heavy pot smoker, I ever talked to, over the age of fifty flattly told me smoking pot fucks up your head. And a statistic done recently said that Marijuana just passed up ALL other oregon crops COMBINE as the biggest earning oregon crop. Sounds to me like someones probably using more.

It would be far too big a job for me to tackle it here, but as one who has done marijuana research for decades, trust me, it's true. I will touch on a couple but I expect you to do your own research. I don't have the time to lay it all out for you: A person does not 'suddenly develop schizophrenia' from smoking marijuana. The odds of 'knowing' someone who developed shizophrenia from smoking marijuana at age 18 are astronomically small, primarily because it is just as improbable that the battery of tests required to make such a diagnosis would even be done. Most likely what you 'know' is nothing more than a misinformed person's own diagnosis ... and rumour does the rest. As for the memory loss theory, there is a very recent study that shows, even heavy smokers return to normal within 30 days of non use, verifying the non-toxicity of this symptom. (A heavy smoker for this study was one who smoked at least a joint a day for a minimum of 13 years. Although the heavy smokers scored worse on memery tests at the beginning of the study [while still smoking marijuana] after 30 days of non use all people scored the same. You can find this study through Google.) I'll leave it at that. As the science stands today, there is some pulmonary risk to smoking marijuana but that is really the worst of it. (Pulmonary for this purpose = lungs.) What the US government has done and continues to do regarding marijuana is absolutely shameful. If people knew the truth they would be outraged. Consider that one pill for a heavy nausea sufferer will cost $30 whereas cannabis does an even better job for about 30 cents. (Referring to strong, anti-nausea medication prescribed to patients such as those undergoing chemotherapy.) I will mention one more thing before I go. People usually take an anti-marijuana stand because they believe what they've been told. In a way, they can't be blamed. At the same time, when they refuse to educate themselves and see the truth, for that, they must take full blame.

I am only 17 and I really don't know what to believe. Is it bad? I know it's not good(except for people that REALLY need it for chemotherapy or etc.), but it's sure as hell is not worse then anything else, fast food, drinking, pumping ourselves with prescription drugs...America is fucked up but it would be a lot less fucked up if we were more true to ourselves and others around us. another subject, Marijuana is a gateway drug.....only because it's part of the underground market or "black market" It is only a gateway drug because it gets bunched up with everything else under the "illegal" category. If it was legal....it would be just like drinking except not as bad. (but still bad for recreational use) I completely agree with everything you have said, the approach that the U.S. Government is using to try and make people afraid to ever use is ridiculous and just generally bad for the youth.
