In my neurology class my prof said that there was extensive research done in Jamaica where the most amount of weed is smoked.Where people smoke for all their lives (18-and up) They found that there was no long term brain damage, that they were still in good shape, and that the worst case of withdrawl was a runny nose. Also there is only one oerson on medical record dying off of weeed and that was someone choking on too much food.
Also for all intents and purposes Alcohol is worse for you. whatever it takes you to get drunk, 10 times that will kill you whatever it takes you to get high, 40,0000 that will kill you.
kung lek that was hilarious.
what do bin laden and general custer have in common????

Don't say that you can't OD on weed, that's bull****. Weed kills brain cells, that's FACT, so it can contribute to brain damage.
Regardless the dangers or non-dangers,
why people need foreign substances to "make them feel happy" is beyond me...
I figure if you need to smoke, drink, do ecstasy, weed, etc. to make you feel "good about yourself" or to be "social", then you have a big problem already.
But then again, what do I know? I'm just a guy with a video game character's name as his screen name. :D

"One who takes pride in shallow knowledge or understanding is like a monkey who delights in adorning itself with garbage."
ah for the day when we EDUCATE our youth instead of INDOCTERNATEING them with crap.
Weed has not been proven to cause brain damage and can in fact have very clear yet poorly researched nerual protective qualites.
weed does not cause cancer (but tar and particulate matter found in smokeing anything cn lea to pre canceruos growths) and has been found to ease symptoms in the treatment of cancer, and to kill tumors in lab mice.
however, weed is illegal.
tabbacoo, the smokeing of which causes like 30% of ALL CANCER, gets frickn' government subsities!
and we wonder why our country is so ****** up man we have plants that are illegal!
Whos cares what those studies say, usually the only people defending weed are the ones who smoke it. Addicts will do anything to not have to admit they are addicted including comming up with "health benifits" of smoking :rolleyes:
Smoking and drinking destory stamina and are generally unhealthy, argueing over what kind of smoking and smoking vs. drinking doesn't matter. All masters of meditative arts preach to keep a clear mind, anybody who uses drugs to meditate is just a hippie and probally doesn't know about what they are talking about.
Just say no

Anyone live in the Netherlands?
Iron
1. if only addidcts and people who smoke weed care about this, then why have more then five states passed or enacted voter sanctioned refferendums to allow the use of Cannibus as a medicene.
2. why have the Netherlands chossen to effectivly "decriminalize" itss sale and use?
3. Why are Germany, England and Canada looking to follow that example.
more to the point, and why i do not support the so called Drug War
4. why do you feel we need to LOCK PEOPLE IN JAIL for growing plants?
now of course by you i mean everyone who supports, agrees with or does not oppose the stupidest, most misguided, most arrogant and blatent asssult upon freedom and our national common sense since prohibition. And hey at least with prohibition they got it right, they amended the constitution, for the drug war we just rely on the commerce clause.
I'm sorry for a hastly typed non kung fu post but ive been against the war on drugs since high school, when i looked at the facts.
That I smoke, might smoke or want to smoke "weed" (or any other plant for that matter) is not the issue. That if in my HOME I grow a plant, dry it and burn the leaves to inhale BY MYSELF into MY LUNGS, the government feels the need to arresst me deny me enployment and confiscate my wealth is just WRONG.
this is not an abuse of power this is a gross usurpation of power.
I don't nessacarly think it should be illegal but I think alot of people try to lie to themselves about the "benifits". In the end it should be a persons choice
www.shaolindynasty.cjb.net
for all the CAPS LOCKED words done in ALL CAPS so they look REALY important.
I dont know why I do that sometimes.
:D
and for the record I would advocate against smokeing anything, or useing any drug prior to meditation of kung fu practice.
Here we have this band called "Planet Hemp", they even got put in prison for a week because they are pro-legaligazation.

My own experience is that marijuana is NOT addictive. I can smoke several times daily for months at a time, then quit cold turkey with no effort, replacement drug, or 12-step support group. I have done it numerous times, most recently in August. It has never had any more than a temporary effect on my intelligence or memory - ie: when I stop smoking everything that was gone comes back. This leads me to believe that these are side effects of the high, not the result of brain damage.
This doesn't contradict the fact that inhaling smoke isn't good for you, natch. Nor does it mean that in certain limited circumstances marijuana cannot have theraputic effects. As an example, foxglove blossoms are refined to create digitalis which is used to treat heart disease but lethal in large doses. Most any TCM practitioner will tell you that herbs are good for you in the correct dosage but harmful if overused. This would seem to be the case with marijuana (again, in particular instances.) One possible theraputic use of marijuana is appetite stimulation for patients in chemotherapy. Another is to treat menstrual pains. A third is treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. Perhaps there are better ways to treat these maladies, but certainly none so safe or natural.

"I AM EFFECTIVNESS"
I think pot should be legal for medical use/research but not recreational use. Medicine is meant for sick people, not the healthy. If someone is going to risk imrisonment just so they can use a plant to get stupid...I'd say they have a problem.
you guys are all wrong..
weed does nothing for you.. just makes you hungry and look foolish.
if you wanna smoke weed, then fight then i pray your head doesn't get taken off. If you try and meditate.. most likely you'll be sleeping n' snoring..
now if u really wanna see some Chi blast'in
scre_w that weed and stack up on some LSD.
you get some after effects, shoot you might even fly.
can you name one good reason why weed shouldn't be legal for "recreational" use?
THC the active alkaloid in weed collects in the fatty tissues of the body, ie the brain. When you quit there can be all sorts of minor withdrawal symptoms, one of which is raising of your blood pressure. This was told to me by a cardiologist.
thou shall not judge.
where's my beer?
Why does everyone againts weed not like weed.
Seriously? Is it becasue the govt says it is wrong for you? Because if it is is then you guys are just pawns of the govt. If it is because you HONESTLY really dont care for it then all the more power to you. But dont knock something when you dont know soemthing. That is liek saying you liv ein the south and because everyone says black are inferior you beleive it too. Dont be ignorant. Weed ofcourse has its drawbacks but it also has its adavantages. There are good quality about weed, but no one wants to hear them. Weed is not a halucenegen, it does not make you feel euphoric, it just makes you feel calm and relaxed. Almost like cigarettes. Smoking weed is bad but what about drinking it?? What will be the arguement about that?????? You wouldnt be smoking it anymore, so no fear of cancer or brain damage.
I am pretty sure the pld chinese master drank herbs of the sort back in the day.
All fo thm had some sort of herbal book to go along with their training.
The natives of every country smoke some type o plant.

Marijuana is very popular here in Alaska as well. So popular in fact that in 2002, it will be on the ballots for voting for recreational use of it.
Thats right, potsmokers rejoice, Alaska can be your new home and haven for your red-eyed, foggy memory lifestyle.
People will do what they want regardless of laws/legalities and what they are told about health. One of the reasons I have found people smoke a lot is they are in environments with people who smoke a lot.
How many people just one day decide that they are going to smoke pot, or start smoking cigarettes. Most of them are offered by people they trust, or consider friends etc. Often one should take a look at the cause and what keeps them smoking rather then the smoking itself.
Are you hanging out with people who smoke daily? Are some of the places you spend time at pot-smoking/related environments? Do you put yourself in those situations/environments/relationships to make yourself feel more secure/confident/comfortable about your smoking habits?
If you have no friends who smoke pot, I think stopping the chain of smoking is a lot easier then if you're around it all the time. But who wants to stop?
- Nexus
I agree that alchohol is waaay worse for you than pot, and that pot isnt compareable to any other drug in danger, but just like anything else in life excess is bad.
I have friends that have been smoking for years and when they run out... look out!
Not to mention that it causes paranoia, laziness, overeating, poor judgement, psychological addiction, social retardation, and vision problems.
If you dont belive me about the vision problems try crossing your eyes for three hours every day for a month and see how your vision ends up. Three hours is being nice!
Dont get me wrong guys, since I detest drinking, I do partake on occasion, but if youre a everyday user then dont kid yourself.
BTW if you everyday users make plans with friends or family, let them know youre not showing up! Ive lost sooo many good friends because I got sick of being stood up. Thanks.
"thou shall not judge"
i say this.
if you don't want to smoke pot for whatever reason you have ... cool.
but FU,CK YOU
if you judge others for doing so ... especially if you drink, or smoke, or don't get off your lazy a$$ enough to know what stress is.
where's my beer?
GDA,
I don't drink or smoke....can I judge? :(

'Don't say that you can't OD on weed, that's bull****.'
yOU CAN'T od ON WEED. Let people do what they want, at least to this extent. Weed is like tobacco with more effects, but the principle behind whether its legal or not are the same as those behind smoking and drinking, which are of course both legal. GDA, I'm with you.
BTW, I smoke everyday (weed). Some people have a cig after they train, I have a j. And the big deal is where?
I am addicted to tobacco, not weed, and if I can't smoke weed one noght, I'll have a cigarrette. Just one, and it does the trick. Weed is just a bonus. So jesus, everyone, chill out(man)! :D
There's THC in chocolate too, so all you prohibitionists better turn out your pantries and set up a picket at Cadbury :p
Except for Ryu... I bet you don't eat chocolate either, you clean-living-pro-ad-hominem ******* ;)
In reality TCM says that Hash is definitely worse than alcohol, and I am inclined to believe them. Hash harms the actual function of the Kidneys whereas alcohol (and of course this is al taken in a relative attitude) damages the tissues of the Kidneys (but only over a long term and or heavy usage). Hash stays in the blood stream for up to a month, alcohol can be flushed out within 24 to 36 hours. Hash IS Carcinogenic and can cause mild to heavy inflammation of Tubules within the lungs, and can cause slight to mild eating disorders if constantly used. It does kill brain cells as someone already stated, but the biggest reason why I dont do it anymore, is that it saps your Jing away substantially. Alcohol can temoprarily put your jing below par but hash steals it away permanently.
