I legitimately feel sorry for that dude. Look at him. Burnt out on pot all the time. Double chin. Ridiculous clothing. Nasty long hair. He needs a prayer. He doesn't feel good in life.

Not addictive. Smoke it everyday, from morning to night time. Makes people paranoid weird fucks that can't handle life without it.

I'm all for legalization but don't act like pot is all positive. It is addictive, and causes brain problems at a young age if smoked, and in an aging brain.

Pot users will risk jail to get their fucking fix. I have meet a couple of pot heads that have had troubles paying rent but somehow have money for their daily pot. There are definitely pot addicts out there. It might not be heroin but it can be addictive to those who are predisposed to addiction.

The point is that the risk for addiction is there. When ever people talk about pot they keep on acting like pot addiction does not exist. I would argue that it is a physical addiction. Pot addicts are craving the feeling that THC gives them. It isn't the action that is addictive but the substance.

>>131859574

You should be allowed to put whatever you want in your body, but don't act high and mighty about it being harmless and even beneficial. The subculture and regular users are fuck awful and ear grating as well. It's still awful for you physically and mentally even if it doesn't outright kill you just from usage.

took me a week of no sleep and night sweats stopping, it sucked and why i dont smoke it any more. Also noticeable improvement to cognitive ability about two months later, despite i would have argued it had no effect while smoking.

Honestly IDGAF if its legal, there are better people we could be tossing in jail...but dont go the "its harmless" route. Lets not even get into inhaling combusted organic matter which is never good. Refine it and use it as medication sure, but everyone knows the medical marijuana movement was nothing more than people looking for an excuse to get stones, with perhaps 1% of the pot smoking population actually needing it...also dont give me that "i know a guy who owns 50 companies and gets stoned every day" bullshit, sure there are people do do coke every day and shoot up heroin that could probably do the same, but the vast majority of users are dulling their mental abilities, and wasting lots of time on nothing by smoking pot.

But yeah sell it legally and tax it, whatever.

>Absolute bullshit. Smoking it doesn't cure anything. It only serves to irritate and damage your lungs. Some cannabinoid extracts that don't even necessarily come from weed are the only thing mildly cancer fighting, and are nowhere near as effective as contemporary treatments

Smoking isn't the only method of ingestion, and if something shows promise of killing certain cancer cells via induced cell death it's something to look at.

Pretty much. If weed was something you could smoke on the way home or at a bar and not start behaving like a total retard, if you could reliably smoke it one night and then get up and go to work like a normal human, and if people didn't build some stupid annoying lifestyle around it, we'd have legalised it years ago.

Like, it's weed, who cares intrinsically? But stoners make it worth banning just to prevent having to put up with hundreds of times more of them.

>>131857589
>making a living smoking weed

are you jealous?

I hope that stoner culture dies forever if it gets legalized

>>131860798

The reason that weed is banned is because of its LACK of acute toxicity, resulting in standard usage being obscenely high. A standard recreational dosage would be like drinking half a bottle of whisky in one sitting. Is this ultimately an artifact of our culture, rather than the drug itself? Of course, but that doesn't change how it is.

He made a bullshit claim but it has shown some promise of killing certain kinds of cancer cells

>Autophagy can promote cell survival or cell death, but the molecular basis underlying its dual role in cancer remains obscure. Here we demonstrate that Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the main active component of marijuana, induces human glioma cell death through stimulation of autophagy. Our data indicate that THC induced ceramide accumulation and eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2α (eIF2α) phosphorylation and thereby activated an ER stress response that promoted autophagy via tribbles homolog 3–dependent (TRB3-dependent) inhibition of the Akt/mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) axis. We also showed that autophagy is upstream of apoptosis in cannabinoid-induced human and mouse cancer cell death and that activation of this pathway was necessary for the antitumor action of cannabinoids in vivo. These findings describe a mechanism by which THC can promote the autophagic death of human and mouse cancer cells and provide evidence that cannabinoid administration may be an effective therapeutic strategy for targeting human cancers.

It can induce apoptosis in certain cancer cells, just saying no to that because of some degenerate burnouts is wrong.

It does describe certain pot heads pretty well. I have seen pot heads seek out pot for the high even at the risk of jail. I have seen a pot head evicted because she wasted all of her money on pot every day. I have seen pot heads who live in poverty because their pot addiction had negated their will to work. The compulsive behaviour for a substance even at the consequence of their own well being seems to fit the definition pretty well. The fact is that pot addicts exist and it does damage their lives.

Not may, shown. And last I checked there's a plethora of methods of ingestion from smoking, to edibles, to pills, to liquids, to fucking lotions.

That's the ASAM definition of addiction, albeit the short one.

>Long Definition of Addiction:
Addiction is a primary, chronic disease of brain reward, motivation, memory and related circuitry. Addiction affects neurotransmission and interactions within reward structures of the brain, including the nucleus accumbens, anterior cingulate cortex, basal forebrain and amygdala, such that motivational hierarchies are altered and addictive behaviors, which may or may not include alcohol and other drug use, supplant healthy, self-care related behaviors. Addiction also affects neurotransmission and interactions between cortical and hippocampal circuits and brain reward structures, such that the memory of previous exposures to rewards (such as food, sex, alcohol and other drugs) leads to a biological and behavioral response to external cues, in turn triggering craving and/or engagement in addictive behaviors.

I think you're both right. It's genetic and caused by your "environment."
Personal anecdote. I have two family members that developed schizophrenia that was severely worsened by their weed use. When they got off the pot, their mental condition improved. When they relapsed and started smoking again, their paranoia and "hearing voices" increased.

>>131863724
If they truly wanted everyone to be on it, they'd put it in the fucking water supply without our consent. Not jailing people who use it.

And while legalization efforts have made strides I don't necessarily think it's been with the governments blessing.

Didn't Obama raid more dispensaries than Bush?

>Over the course of Obama’s first term as president, his administration spent nearly $300 million on marijuana enforcement in states where medical cannabis had already been legalized.
Between 1996 and 2013, the federal government conducted 528 dispensary raids on medical marijuana dispensaries.
During Obama’s first term as president, his administration oversaw 270 dispensary raids on medical marijuana dispensaries.
Between 2009 and 2013, President Obama’s administration spent $100 million more cracking down on medical marijuana dispensaries than George W. Bush’s did.

Certainly seems they aren't that in favor.

I think weed works for some people and doesn't for others. Sometimes it's dangerous for certain people to smoke it for various reasons. With that in mind, do I have the right to force people to not smoke if they want to? I suppose if someone's smoking was causing me harm (if they were under my roof and acting erratically) I would then have the right to tell them to stop. But if they're in their own house, and not hurting anyone else, they should have the right to do whatever they want, stupid or not

>>131863707

>Maybe you haven't noticed, but they've been legalizing it pretty rapidly over the past few years, ever since Liberals finally took over society.

Dude, shut the fuck up. You likely spend more of your free time beating your virgin meat to anime porn in your room than doing something for the "good of the nation".

>>131863880
It isn't... government used to tank weed made you slower, now they know it just puts you at a different tempo... better at questioning and other things like LSD, it definitely isn't info they want the public understanding. Of course they will provide funding to subvert efforts to inform the idiot masses.

>>131864414
Think not tank* damn autocorrect

I've smoked on and off for years, I hate that typical stone bro 420 culture too. Whether or not you agree with its use, you autists have to remember that no matter if it's decrimilized, regulated, legalised or not. People are still going to smoke, eat or vaporise thc. You all seem to hate the dumb cunt culture surrounding it, and I'd wager that most people that do smoke it were idiots beforehand. I do feel like, in many ways that my intelligence has been affected. Whether it be by alcohol, marijuana or other substances. Perhaps even from physical head injuries. But one month after smoking it you will feel like a normal sober person. You may even burn your weed leaf hat and smash your bong out of disgust and enlightenment. As long as you learn new and important things, consistently, I don't see how it could harm you mentally. I'd rather be high and a loser than constantly feeling anxious and depressed.

>>131863801

You do know that addiction is an actual, physical and medical phenomena right? As in if you're addicted to something and stop taking it your body will have extreme adverse reactions all the way up to straight up fucking dying.

Weed is habit forming sure, but it sure as shit ain't addictive.

>>131865680
I use it and firmly believe you can get a psychological addiction to it, like just about anything. That however, is not a reason to make a plant that will grow naitively almost anywhere on the planet illegal, it's in the name for fucks sake, people call it weed for a reason, because it'll fucking grow like one.

>>131865829

My beef is with people throwing around the term 'addiction' and ignoring this VERY important proviso.

If you want it legal, okay, but don't pretend it's not a vice.

>>131868655
I started with cigarettes, then moved on to alcohol, then stopped at cannabis. No more tobacco and I rarely ever drink.

It hasn't given me that compelling feeling for heroin yet after 10 years, whats the deal? When can I expect to be sucking dick in an alley way for heroin? I was told it was inevitable.

people irresponsible people do exist.
And these people will find a mental addiction to any kind of drug. Keeping them off drugs is the responsible thing to do as a government.
Medical marijuana should be legal around the world though

>>131868993
I'm out too, no big deal honestly. A day or 2 with some difficulty to sleep, that's it for me. And I'm a rather heavy smoker, even I admit I smoke too much. But it doesn't interfere with my day to day activities. I hold a job, do my societal obligations and such.

Things I do while high I do while sober. I go on hikes while stoned out of my gourd, and sober as a bird, and I enjoy both equally.

>>131869097
Mate you can get a mental addiction to anything. You can get addicted to the internet ffs. Ban the internet?

the vast majority of smokers isnt some "lol dude weed 420, big spliff and a monster sip boi" kinda guy.
I know plenty of stem worker, banking dudes who buy their weed in Venlo and then drive back to Cologne.

But yeah the extremly retarded and annoying "culture" around it is one of the biggest reasons it aint legal yet. The other one is that a complete legalization of weed would kill off a lot of very profitable industries due to the fact that weed grows like a weed( höhö) and has a vast variety of uses. like food, paper, clothing, drugs. medicine, oils, cremes etc pp.

>>131857589
Weed smoker here. Legalizing weed is almost the most worthless thing any federal or state politician could do right now. If anything, it should be up to individual cities, or basically as local as the decision can get.

that was only in a case of hemp oil injected into a tumor which killed it : this only worked because the oil is alkaline, and killed off cancer cause cancer is acid based.

So many of these can be debunked with the simple statement "correlation does not equal causation" you stupid faggot. Also, the one about violent convictions, we all know that's because of niggers.

Is prefer it stays illegal. The fact that the state would then take a cut of the revenue via taxation after ruining lives over it for almost a century pisses me off. Fuck them niggas 2bh famama

>Cannabinoids as antioxidants and neuroprotectants
US 6630507 B1
ABSTRACT
Cannabinoids have been found to have antioxidant properties, unrelated to NMDA receptor antagonism. This new found property makes cannabinoids useful in the treatment and prophylaxis of wide variety of oxidation associated diseases, such as ischemic, age-related, inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. The cannabinoids are found to have particular application as neuroprotectants, for example in limiting neurological damage following ischemic insults, such as stroke and trauma, or in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and HIV dementia. Nonpsychoactive cannabinoids, such as cannabidoil, are particularly advantageous to use because they avoid toxicity that is encountered with psychoactive cannabinoids at high doses useful in the method of the present invention. A particular disclosed class of cannabinoids useful as neuroprotective antioxidants is formula (I) wherein the R group is independently selected from the group consisting of H, CH3, and COCH3.
