Smoking pot is good for you. No, really. It's good for you.
   
marijuanamovie.org

Takes about 45 minutes to watch.

Caution: Contains scientific evidence - may be harmful to Teabaggers.

I'm not going to watch it because I don't have 45 minutes but who wants to bet it's very biased?  :stoner:

1. I don't care...
   I won't smoke it or support it. The only way I could ever support legalizing it is if it were taxed heavily and was only legal to buy thus being illegal to grow yourself.

I'd rather pot be kept illegal altogether. And before you ask no I don't drink or smoke anything.

26. no, but some of us do.
   I have a neck injury that has haunted me for years. Not only do I have pain in my neck, I also can't remember what it is like to live with out a head ache. Then the migraines at least twice a week. I smoke pot. It relieves the pain. I'd rather smoke pot, than get hooked on pain pills.

We just passed medical MJ in Maine. Too bad my medical issues didn't make the list of "acceptable" medical problems. It's safer than pain pills. It's safer than alcohol.

And yes, I believe it should be legal.

It's cheap to grow, and the plant is useful for more things than just "getting high", but the pharmaceutical companies, and the textile industries would lose too much money.

Our government wastes billions of dollars a year fighting it. Our elected officials have their pockets lines by the pharmaceutical industry. It's about the money, not people getting high.

25. So then, you support the "war on drugs", huh?
   You like keeping the pot cartels loaded with cash and arms, huh? Would you also like a return to alcohol prohibition? If even one person dies in this silly war on drugs (of coarse there have been thousands annually), that would be one more than would die because of legalized pot..it is really a no-brainer.

5. Probably not.
   It shouldn't be illegal for those that want to smoke it though.

Ingesting smoke into your lungs is never "good" for them, even if you like some of the side effects.

Make it legal, but no need to spin it as a healthy thing to do.

14. I wouldn't agree to that. Most of my friends---5 of them who are bonafide pot heads.
   I mean these guys live on the shit. They have seriously short term memory problems. They're long term memory is fine. But as far as short...it's a hot mess. And that's happened AFTER they started smoking. I'd like to read what they have to say about Pot's affect on short term memory.

Watch them quote "studies" that say otherwise.

29. You may want to try one of these
   https://www.vaporgenie.com /

I just got one of the classic models two days ago. Took a few sessions to get used to, it's different from burning it but very effective when you get the hang of it.Main issue I see now is going through lighters absurdly fast, so I'm going to try the hempwick they also sell on the site.

And at only $55-65, way more affordable than standard vapes.


I find all the talk of pot of there quite amusing.  Especially the ones who know it's safe because they've never had problems.  :popcorn:

I'm spending too much time on a conservative forum, it's rubbing off on me.  :rotf:

This is the best one so far...

33. Here is a hint. It is not the point of view, but the utter lack of reason
   that makes the thinking not liberal. A pronouncement of unsupported belief or opinion, placed forth as dogma, without reasons, cites, logic or even an emotional basis. "I think this, for no good reason." That is conservative. Always.
Marijuana is a natural medicine that gives eyesight to the blind. Pot is something like Christ in that regard, an aspect of the Christ being eyesight to the blind, of course. Marijuana does exactly that. I have yet to see one of the 'ministers' of the 'Christian' faith display that aspect of the Christ, have you? Does McClurkin give eyesight to the blind? Does Rick Warren allow those suffering from chemo to eat and sleep?
So when I think of 'something like pot' I think of the divine.
What do you mean by 'something like pot'? I assume you can explain that vague and nonspecific terminology?

I love the clowns that say marijuana is "all natural" and is not bad for you. ::)
I would beg to differ all day long.

In the time between my post above and the post now, you got over 20 H5s and only 3 BSes.

We're definitely rubbing off on you. :yahoo:

The only thing that takes a back seat at the DUmp to the religion of pot is the religion of global warming.  Those are 2 sacred cows that will get you banned quick.

Smoking anything is bad for you dumbass.

Smoking something that gets you stoned is bad for me for several fairly obvious reasons.

This is why baby can't have his bottle bong.
