Its a tradition among stoner culture... All the religeons have their own holidays, so should we. And nobody said smokin weed at that time is better, maybe if you knew anything about the origin of 4:20... Im not here to give a history lesson but it all started as a bunch of highschool dopers who would smoke up at 420 as tradition, then the tradition spread throughout the country and is now international. This was the generation before me(where everyone smoked weed), it wasnt some tight ass generation where people are afraid to have fun and have to ruin others fun because they arent having fun. Now if you will excuse me...

hfs stfu, i never said anything about medicinal weed, i said i found it really stupid that 420 is the best time to smoke pot, and i thank the skunk for the lesson. personaly im all for smoking it for medical purposes, and im pretty sure there are no long term side effects when you smoke it for recreational purposes.

I rarely ever smoke weed. ever. but i do every once in a great while. in my opinion the effects of smoking weed are far less detrimental than the ones achieved by drinking alcohol. and, my other point is this: if smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol is legal, why isn't smoking pot? politics, yeah. but, real reasons, someone tell me one, and it had better be full proof. my roommate smokes regularly and i'll get him to refute your ass no matter how good your argument is. haha. ;)

Glad to see some informed posts in this thread :rolleyes:
Marijuana is a mediciinal herb used throughout time for diverse healing effects on the body. It is only one of very few psychoactive substances known by medical science to have IT'S OWN receptor cells in the brain, instead of most psychoactive and non-psychoactive substances that mutate to fit receptors not intended for them (cocaine being a perfect example). It has yet to be scientifically proven that it is harmful to the human body, hindered by the fact that all studies on the plant were made illegal by the United States government approximately 30 years ago, due in part to a heavy lobby by pharmaceutical companies (mainly DuPont) who would stand to lose the most financially, if the plant were made even medicinally viable in the eyes of the United States government, which it sadly isn't. There have been no reported deaths by marijuana overdose in the history of medical science.
420 is a code that marijuana-smokers use. Over the past 40 years, it has meant anything from a time/date for all marijuana smokers to "light-up", thereby producing a feeling of comradre with other marijuana smokers, to a code used to sell the plant. There are many legends surrounding how "420" became synonymous with marijuana smoking. One of the most widely believed is that in the 60's, "420" was the San Francisco police department's code for marijuana-smoking in progress, although that fact has not been substantiated.
It is felt that a marijuana smoker feels as one with the community of other marijuana-smokers by celebrating "420" at 4:20 AM/PM and lighting up, the feeling being that many like-minded indviduals will be doing the same in unison. 4:20AM/PM on April 20th is considered by many to be the "Hippy New Year", much like the Roman New Year on 1/1, and is surrounded by much fanfare.
I could go on. Don't get me started. This is NOT a subject to argue about in a thread I have access to. Trust me.

Unsubstaniated bunk,Gohan. As with most organizations like this one (you'll find partially funded by the US government directly or indirectly), there is no legitimate scientific proof to back up their claims.
I'll be adding footnotes to my previous post, providing references once I get home from work.
It IS interesting about the receptor cells, but like so much of the rest of the brain, modern science has yet to understand why the brain is built the way it is.

to overdose in weed you would have to smoke 15 pounds of it straight, without stopping, and you would have to eat 55 pounds of it straight, which is physically impossible.
now if you drive under the influence and crash your car and get killed, you died from a car accident, not weed. its not weed that made you get into the car, its your own stupidity.
If someone died from smoking weed, it was laced with crack or formaldehyde (embalming fluid). it wasn't the weed that killed the person, it was the other crap it was laced with by some idiot. they call it Dirt Weed, because thats what it is. Smoking Weed can not kill you.

If you open your eyes a little bit more, you'll see that they Marijuana and Hemp are constantly tested in other parts of the world, I.E. Europe. Hemp, which is the male form of the plant, is yet again becoming one of europes largest exports and trade items. also, it is legal in some parts of the world to smoke Marijuana.... the US is not the center of the Marijuana shit....they just make the greatest deal out of it....
also, it doesn't speed up your heartbeat.....It actually slows down your heartbeat....which is fine.
Also, Like most things in this world, yes it harms you a very small amount. if you placed Weed on the list of what causes fatalities the most, it would be LAST on the list.
Good fact to know:
the AMA (American Medical Association) was one of the first groups to fight the Marijuana prohibition that started in the 1930's.
also, whoeve it was that said the reason Marijuana was made illegal was, yes it was basically started because of racial issues but then spread and became more then just that. the media hyped it up to the point where people were afraid of it, bullshit I might add.

Oh wow......IGNORANCE.....that is the only word that comes into my head when i see this. Weed has been proven over and over and over to NOT be ADDICTIVE like other drugs and cigarettes. what makes weed give you that "high" is the THC. thc is no an addictive chemical. It does not make you violent. what it does is make you happy, hungry, and tired. i've been around alot of people who do it, and i mean alot of people, and never have i seen anyone ever become violent. Never has anyone ever become "Addicted" to it.
Weed is just as carcenogenic as cigarettes are. You can die of weed, just like you can die of cigarettes.
and no it is not.....Just go take a look at what is in Cigarettes....Cigarettes contain fucking Cyanide <==== CYANIDE...that is very deadly to the body..i will say it again..VERY DEADLY..reason they put it in cigarettes? it keeps the little "buzz" you get from cigarettes going a little bit longer....

Now to go down the line of stupidness:
Yes drinking can be healthy for your heart in modereation, but Pot has no healing effects the only thing it does is reduce pain.
Fast food may not be healthy but what does that have to do with addictive substances? It can make you fat and yes its a health rick but I think its safe to say that just like pot it kills you indirectly so it doesn't count.
Yeah you don't realy inhale much CO unless youve started your car up in a garage because your in a deep depression caused by being addicted to pot.
Is TV unhealthy in any way? Oh but you can sit down for Days at a time and develop sores and get fat!
Computer games go in the exact same place as TV except they can realy improve your handeye coordination and quickthinking skills.
Smoking pot has just the same risks at smoking cigarettes, and more. I'm fine with seeing a person trying it once that poses no real risk to anyone unless they are being stupid about it, and maybe using it in a medical sense when other drugs don't work to kill the pain(though opiates are as bad/wore in some cases). But you stupid addicted potheads thats say its the best thing in the world and even claiming its HEALTHY for you realy piss me off

and no it is not.....Just go take a look at what is in Cigarettes....Cigarettes contain fucking Cyanide <==== CYANIDE...that is very deadly to the body..i will say it again..VERY DEADLY..reason they put it in cigarettes? it keeps the little "buzz" you get from cigarettes going a little bit longer....

You're right that cigarrettes have more harmful chemicals, but weed is just as(if not more) than likely to cause cancer. Inhaling hot smoke into your lungs is not good for you, no matter how many times you tell yourself it is.

Damn potheads.
First off, i'm not a pothead.....a pothead is someone who smokes it as much as a person who loves everquest, plays everquest...
my friend used to play everquest like it was his life. he would wake up, go to school, come home, play everquest, get one hour of sleep, wake up and do it all over again. a pothead is someone who will wake up and smoke, got to school, come home and smoke, and then smoke some more later on.
i find it rude to be making an assumption like that.
I respect everyone's opinion. if you don't like pot, then you don't like pot. what i have a problem with is when people say shit like "pot makes you violent," or "pot is and addictive drug." thats what i find to be very disrespectful.
get your facts straight people...

you've got that right smaug. i never said that inhaling hot smoke was perfectly good for you. but remember there are many different ways to smoke it. take baking for instance. all baking does is take the THC right out of the plant and then you inhale it, without the side effects of the heat you are talking about. also, weed is no where near as likely to cause cancer....Cigarettes are far worse then weed. there is only one way Cigarettes can be less harmful then weed...and that way is to just get rid of Cigarettes altogether.

Take the adirondacks for instance. for those of you who don't know what Adirondacks are, they are the mountains in NY state.
in the Adirondacks, the Acid rain has become to bad that anyone who lives their and gets there water from a well, should run their water for a short while because the water that sits in the pipes become to toxic to the body to drink...so many people worry about issues like Marijuana that they forget to look at other things like Cigarettes, Alcohol, Car accidents, hard drugs (ie coke, heroine, ecstacy, speed).
why don't people ever look at that. this country spends $6 billion a year to try and get people to stop smoking weed when that could be used for more important issues as what i have listed above...why don't they have Commercials that say, "Stop shootin up heroine," or "stop sniffing coke." those would be much more useful. or how about spending that $6 billion dollars on education, or welfare?

looks like the arguments/debate is over sides are peaceful again, But i would like to point out a few things
First it was 6 Billion dollars not million, Rbstr.
Second Gohan Your like 14 and you sound like a brain washed youth, that never looks out side or inbetween the lines of what is presented to him. Do your own resaearch and don't follow the media's high influence so much.
Third i had a friend back in the U.S. that was and likely still is a weed taker(found out from here pothead is the extreme use). He Claimed not to be addicted which may be true chemically but still, even without chemical influences, It is an enjoyable experience and therefore can be seen as a type of addiction. As anything in life that one enjoys.
Fourth I agree with 1024 that some weed-takers are very stupid lazy people. But In Actuality it is just a coincedance(sp?) that they act that way, or likely they just seem that way as social conditioning (everyone says you suck, you get depressed , you take the herb equavilent to lithium)
Yet I agree with Kyone's Arguments, Espeicially Weed isn't harmful in the extremes of most other drugs if even harmful at all.
Personally I have never puffed but have had spirtual highs that seem to be the equivalent to Weed highs. I Know the social stupitity, innocents, and ignorance of some of the subjects fighters and currently to much miss information is given to them(refering to the anti-weed debators, Gohan as an example).
There we go i have added my 2 bits, it is 4:48 am and i have class at 9 so good night people.

2004-04-19, 10:51 PM
6 billion is still a drop in the bucket
and its teh weed that makes them the lazy people, getting high is only a temporary part, there are many lasting effects that come with it.
I could care less about the morals of it or if you can kill yourself withit. but i've read up and know what this stuff acctualy does to you physicaly, its just a bad chooise to start doing it.

Not everyone who smokes pot is a pothead. I smoke it occasionaly with my friends i've really only gotten stoned like 3 times. I've been meaning to do it again. I do it once every few months or so. Not much harm to yourself really if you do it ocassionlly. Just like people who only drink during social occasions.
Your missing out if you don't atleast get stoned once. Although im sure that most people who argue that pot is bad have never even seen a joint or probably even a dime in thier life.
Oh yeah! Vanilla papes are the best!
I'm surpriesd at how many people smoke pot even on a forum and how many people just say it and let everyone know that they do. I always thought that pot was one of thoes things that only a very few people did. And by few I mean at a school or so because I know that there are a lot worldwide.

Therapeutic Use of Cannabis
(Greatly condensed)
WARNING:
There is no pharmacological free lunch in cannabis or any drug (including alcohol, which IS a drug, and one of the most toxic). Negative reactions can result. A very small percentage of people have negative or allergic reactions to marijuana. Heart patients could have problems, even though cannabis generally relieves stress, dilates the arteries, and in general, lowers diastolic pressure. A small percentage of people get especially high heart rates and anxieties with cannabis. These persons should not use it. Some bronchial asthma sufferers benefit from cannabis; however, for others it may serve as an additional irritant.
For the overwhelming majority of people, cannabis has demonstrated literally hundreds of therapeutic uses. Among them:
1. Asthma:
Smoking cannabis would be beneficial for 80% of the roughly 15 million Americans afflicted with asthma. This is due to the fact that marijuana acts as a bronchial-dilator, actually opening air passageways, the direct opposite effect of cigarettes. Doing so would add 30-60 million person-years in the aggregate of extended life to current asthmatics over presently legal toxic medicines such as the Theophylline prescribed to children.
�Taking a hit of marijuana has been known to stop a full blown asthma attack.� (Dr. Donald Tashkin, 12/12/89 and 12/1/97)
Today, only in the state of California, can an asthmatic patient can legally grow and use cannabis medicines, even though it is generally the most effective treatment for asthma.
(Tashkin, Dr. Donald, UCLA Pulmonary Studies (for smoked marijuana), 1969-97; Ibid., asthma studies, 1969-1976; Cohen, Sidney, & Stillman, Therapeutic Potential of Marijuana, 1976; Life Insurance Actuarial rates; Life shortening effects of childhood asthma, 1983)
2. Glaucoma:
Cannabis smoking would benefit from 90% of our 2.5 million glaucoma victims, and is two to three times as effective as any current medicines for reducing ocular pressure (hence the �red-eye effect� occasionally seen with smokers). Cannabis has no toxic side effects to the liver and kidneys; nor is there any danger of the occasional sudden death syndromes associated with the legal pharmaceutical glaucoma drugs/drops. Again, today, only in the state of California can a glaucoma patient get the one truly safe medicine they need to stop, and in many cases, begin to actually reverse the effects of this crippling disease.
(Harvard; Hepler & Frank, 1971, UCLA; Medical College of Georgia; U. of North Carolina School of Medicine, 1975; Cohen & Stillman, Therapeutic Potential of Marijuana, UCLA, 1976; National Eye Institute; Records of Bob Randolph / Elvy Musika, 1975, 1998)
3. Tumors
Researchers at the Medical College of Virginia discovered that cannabis is an incredibly successful herb for reducing many types of tumors, both benign and malignant. The DEA and other federal agencies had ordered these tumor studies done after hearing erroneous reports of possible immunicological problems associated with cannabis smoke. But, in 1975, instead of health problems, an apparent medical breakthrough occurred and successful tumor reductions were recorded. Following this remarkably positive discovery by the Medical College of Virginia, orders were immediately handed down by the DEA and the National Institute of Health to defund all further cannabis/tumor research and reporting. Since 1996, the Medical College of Virginia has again applied to receive grants for cannabis research and has been turned down by the DEA.
4. Nausea Relief (eg, AIDS, Cancer Therapy, Sea Sickness
�Marijuana is the best known agent for control of nausea in cancer chemotherapy,� according to Dr. Thomas Ungerleider, who headed California�s Marijuana for Cancer research program from 1979 to 1984. This is also true in AIDS and even in the unsettled stomach common in motion sickness.
5. Epilepsy, Multiple Sclerosis, Back Pain, Muscle Spasms
Cannabis is beneficial for 60% of all epileptics. It is definitely the best treatment for many, but not all types of epilepsy, and for victims� post-seizure mental traumas. Cannabis extract is more effective than Dilantin (commonly prescribed anti-epileptic with severe side effects). �Marijuana�is probably the most potent anti-epileptic known to medicine today� (Mikuriya, Tod H., M.D. Marijuana Medical Papers 1839-1972, page xxii.)
Cannabis users� epileptic seizures are of less intensity than the more dangerous seizures experienced by users of pharmaceuticals. Similarly, smoking cannabis has proven to be a major source of relief for multiple sclerosis.
Aside from addictive morphine, cannabis, whether smoked or applied as an herbal pack or poultice, is also the best muscle relaxant, back spasm medicine, and general antispasmodic medication on the planet.
(Cohen & Stillman, Therapeutic Potential of Marijuana, 1976; Consult U.S. Pharmacopoeia prior to 1937; Mikuriya, Tod H., M.D. Marijuana Medical Papers 1839-1972.)
6. Arthritis, Herpes, Cystic Fibrosis, and Rheumatism
Cannabis is a topical analgesic. Hemp leaves and/or flower tops heated in water or alcohol and placed on painful joints is still a widely used remedy in Mexico, and Central and South America.
Direct contact with THC (the active ingredient in marijuana) killed herpes virus in a University of South Florida (Tampa) 1990 research study by Dr. Gerald Lancz.
(continued in the next post)
BizSAR
2004-04-20, 02:03 AM
7. Lung Cleaner and Expectorant
Cannabis is the best natural expectorant to clear the human lungs of smog, dust, and the phlegm associated with tobacco use.
Marijuana smoke effectively dilates the airways of the lungs, the bronchi, opening them to allow more oxygen into the lungs. It is also the best natural dilator of the tiny airways of the lungs, the bronchial tubes � making cannabis the best overall bronchial dilator for 80% of the population (the remaining 20% sometimes show minor negative reactions).
(UCLA Tashkin studies, 1969-97; U.S. Costa Rican, 1980-82; Jamaican studies 1969-1974, 76)
Statistical evidence � showing up consistently as anomalies in matched populations � indicates that people who smoke tobacco cigarettes are usually better off and will live longer if they smoke cannabis moderately, too. (Jamaican, Costa Rican studies).
9. Sleep and Relaxation
Cannabis lowers blood pressure, dilates the arteries, and reduces body temperature an average of one-half degree, thereby relieving stress. Using cannabis allows most people a more complete rest with a higher amount of �alpha sleep� during sleep as compared to prescription drugs. Prescription sleeping pills (�safe and effective�) are often just synthesized analogs of truly dangerous plants like mandrake, henbane, and belladonna.
Unlike Valium, cannabis does not potentiate the effects of alcohol. It is estimated could replace more than 50% of Valium, Librium, Thorazine, Stelazine, and other �-zine� drugs.
10. Therapeutic Emphysema Potential
Medical research indicates that light marijuana smoking might be useful for a majority of mild emphysema victims. All research into the oxygen blood transfer effects caused by cannabis indicates that many of the symptoms associated with heavy smog days are usually alleviated by cannabis smoking throughout the day. A cannabis smoker cannot get or potentiate emphysema.
(Tashkin�s Marijuana Pulmonary Research, UCLA, 1969-1997)
11. Stress and Migraine Headache Relief
While cannabis intoxication varies with psychological set and social setting, �the most common response is a calm, mildly euphoric state in which time slows and a sensitivity to sights, sounds, and touch is enhanced.�
While tobacco constricts arteries, cannabis dilates (opens) them. Because migraine headaches are the result of artery spasms combined with over-relaxation of veins, the vascular changes cannabis causes in the covering of the brain (the meninges) usually make migraines disappear. Evidence of vascular change caused by cannabis can be seen in the user�s eyes, which are vascular extensions of the brain. However, unlike most other drugs, cannabis has no apparent effect on the vascular system in general, except for a slight increased heart rate during the onset of the high.
12. Increasing Appetite
We�ve all heard about the increased appetite associated with marijuana smoking. Hundreds of thousands of Americans in old age, convalescent wards, or hospital situations have anorexia. Most could be helped by cannabis. This effect can also extend the lives of victims of AIDS and pancreatic cancer (eat or die). However, the DEA and U.S. government prevented any research or use of cannabis in pancreatic cancer therapy since 1976.
ACCEPTABLE RISKS (a closure)
Every U.S. commission or federal judge who has studied the evidence has agreed that cannabis is one of the safest drugs known. With all its therapeutic uses, it has only one side effect that has been exaggerated as a concern: the �high�. The DEA says this is not acceptable, so cannabis continues to be totally illegal in utter disregard for both doctor and patient.
Every day we entrust physicians to determine whether the risks associated with therapeutic, yet potentially dangerous, drugs are acceptable for their patients. Yet, doctors are not allowed to prescribe the herb that Federal Judge Francis Young in 1988 called �one of the safest therapeutically active substances known to man.�
We don�t put our doctors in charge of stopping violent crimes. The police, prosecutors, and prison guards should not be in charge of which herbal therapies people may use to treat their personal health problems.

Cancer Study, UCLA; U.S. funded ($6 million), first and second Jamaican Studies, 1968 to 1974; Costa Rican Studies, 1980 to 1982; et. al. LOWEST TOXICITY: 100% of the studies done at dozens of American universities and research facilities show pot toxicity does not exist. Medical history does not record anyone dying from an overdose of marijuana (UCLA, Harvard, Temple, etc.)
I rest my case, ladies and gentleman, and trust you have the dignity and maturity to discuss this issue in an open and frank manner. I present to you the facts. If you would like more information, please respond as a mature adult, and I'll be more than happy to oblige.
I also submit the above information as a first-hand testimonial. In 1998, I was diagnosed with testicular cancer, whereby I had to have one testicle removed and undergo a rigorous 3 month panel of chemotherapy to save my life. I could not have lasted the "treatment" without the calming and anti-nauseous benefits of cannabis. I refused all and any toxic, artificial anti-nausea medications (which included suppositories if I couldn't keep the pills down), and did not have one mere second of nausea/vomiting. I also lost only 10% of the weight expected due to cannabis' appetite stimulation. I can happily say that i recently celebrated my 6th year of being cancer-free, which in the medical world, is considered a total cure.
Thanks for your time, I sincerely hope you came away at least slightly informed.

It's there in black and white, man. You wanted substantiated fact, and I provided you with such. Want more? I'm not gonna look up the sources I cited for you. That you must do on your own. The medical community knows this little plant is fairly safe, but is afraid to do or say much about it because of the draconian laws imposed on our country and others, imposing our twisted view of reality by placing fines and embargos on poor countries that disagree with us. It's shameful. At least reschedule it so that doctors can prescribe it if needed without fear of repercussion.
Finally, Happy 4:20 day everyone! See you all at 4:20PM today in-game or out! ;)

5 States have accepted Medicinal Marijuana and now use it under very high supervision. 6 more states are in the process of making Medicinal Marijuana legal....including NY state where i live.
now you tell me...if 5 states have it legal, and 6 are in the process, then how can it be dangerous?

Alcohol and Tobacco are allowed in all 50 states for non-medical purposes. Morphine (among other drugs) is allowed for medical purposes.
Morphine is dangerous?! Surely not!

Drugs suck. Why do you need an artificial substance to get you "high?" Aren't there enough things in life that can give you a natural high?
And the reason they are legalizing pot is because everyone uses it. They may just as well do it, since there's no way they can stop someone.
I must commend PSU's majority. I figured this thread would be full of potheads, but I gladly see that's not the case.
On that note; everyone should try LSD atleast once. I had a friend of mine convinced he was an Orange, he was all like "DON'T PEEEEEEL ME!" and I'm like "Dude. Stop freaking out". He wouldn't stop freaking out, so my other friend (in his infinite acid induced wisdom) says "Lets put him in the 'tomorrow box' man". "Yeah, the tomorrow box!" I replied. Then I'm all like "Brent, you need to get in the tomorrow box, 'cause we can't deal with you today". Brent spent the rest of the night crying in the closet thinking he was an Orange. Good times. GOOOD TIMES.

Anything can be taken to an abuse level. LSD and marijuana are worlds apart in psychoactivity. LSD should only be taken in a controlled, SUPPORTIVE environment. Little kids and teenagers/immature adults shouldn't mess with any of it to excess. There's a very good reason LSD is illegal, and you just related the poster-child story. It's not so much the drug itself, but the idiots that use it recklessly.
Putting someone in a closet and then sitting there while they cried?! With friends like you, who needs enemies? Your lack of compassion only mirrors your lack of integrity.
Remember, this thread was about what today is: 4/20, and it's significance and meaning.

LOL! LSD should not be taken period. There are no medical uses for it, and it can kill.
And if my friend came to me high on LSD, I'd turn his ass into the cops, not "support" him.

well first off, Marijuana is not an artificial substance.
Second, they are legalizing it because it is a Medicinal herb...thus it has Medicinal properties....
why would the American Medical Association be one of the first groups to argue against Marijuana becoming illegal?
why? Because it helps people.
LSD should only be taken in a controlled, SUPPORTIVE environment...

Personally, i couldnt give a fuck if someone smokes weed, thats not my problem. It's when someone who i'm meant to be working with or something similar does, and it fucks me up as a result that i'd get pissed. Equally, Your not allowed to drink and drive, and rightfully so - it inhibits your ability to drive. This, depending on the person, takes more than one beer, usually, to happen to an extent that makes it realistically dangerous, and so you can drink a little bit, and still drive legally.
With Pot, you couldnt. When you get high, your gone, flat, can't drive. That's one of the reasons it's illegal. And it's a pitty Led doesn't come here anymore, she has a reason for hating pot - She [yes, she] got slashed in the face by a pothead with a knife once, and now has two large scars on her face. Sure, not everyones gonig to be like that, but people being killed [as Led easily could have, as could anyone walking near a road when a guy on pot is driving] is it worth it, jsut so school kids can legally do what they already do?
And i agree with 1024 here, if you need a drug to get high, as opposed to for medical reasons, how much do you really think getting high for half an hour is gonna help? Yep, Kyone, go ahead with fooling yourself into thinknig it's helping you, but in the end, who's really happier? Those who need to get high on drugs, possibly lined with any old shit that could get you killed, or people who can go and hang out, drug free, and are actually able to concentrate on things?

i have officially been asked ten different times if i wanted to go smoke. wow.
here's my options:
A) Smoke weed,
B) go see Annie for a few hours.
hmmmmmm.. that's really fucking rough. :doh:
i told her and she just laughed and said: go get high, i'll wait for you.
that gave me a warm fuzzy feeling inside. so, since i'm a great guy and all, i'm not getting high, i'm just going to go play. but, before i do, i'm gonna post some important shit in the game discussion forum that you may want to have a look at, whomever you are. it's about the space combat discussion that was going on a while back. my tablet's been real finicky, so i couldn't draw the pics digitally, so i sat down the other day and did 'em in pencil. some of 'em. they'lll be up soon.
anyways, hope you people enjoyed 4:20 on 4/20.. later

Like I said before, dangerous drugs can have medicinal purposes (See morphine).
I never said marijuana didn�t have medicinal uses.
But, Do you have an ailment that requires marijuana to treat it? Are you using marijuana under the supervision of a doctor?

Well, its more like 5 hours but besides that...Like i said before, i have plenty of reasons to do it. i have plenty of highs from life already...Once again, i am not a pothead...I do not smoke it everyday like potheads do. i barely even smoke it once a week...maybe once a week. i actually haven't done it in a while. today is 420 and i'm not smoking (a reason no one would understand). I fight for Medical Marijuana more then anything else dealing with the drug....well, i fight for Industrial Hemp too, just as much actually. I like it....and am very happy with it. i am happy with my life. i may be in a depression right now....and no, shrinks don't work. i know everyone is gonna argue that i'm probably not trying hard enough with them but i have and it just didn't work out the way i hoped for. Marijuana is not my alternative. but I like it. it helps me ease myself. it helps get rid of my stress i build up from school or from my friends or anything else. I fight for it because I know that Marijuana is a medicine. it has been a medicine in the past, it should be a medicine now.

i'm sorry you spent that much money on pot, i'm sorry you had that addiction to it. it is not my fault for the way you ended up. you are different from me. I do not and never will smoke pot like you did. i am not like that. I don't buy 2 ounces a month. i don't buy alot of it because i don't smoke it alot.
and i hope you can quit cigarettes as soon as possible, those murdered both of my grandparents... cigarettes are bad for you. i'm also sorry you had started them in the first place....
let me clarify one thing again...
Pothead is a person who smokes it everyday. a pothead is someone who lives off of it. A pothead is the equivalent of an alcoholic....someone who drinks it everyday, and needs it.
I, on the other hand, do not need it like they do. sometimes if i'm feeling down, i may smoke it. does me no harm..and like i said before, it helps me relieve stress.
Also, do i have a hard name to spell or something? :p
