Marijuana is good for you. Period

Ok so let see. .. "The amount of tar, carbon monoxide, and cancer-causing chemicals inhaled in marijuana smoke are three to five times greater than that inhaled from the same amount of tobacco smoke. This is simply a fact and to deny it is nothing short of willful ignorance. "- Richard89 I think its funny how you claim that there is cancer causing chemicals in marijuana? And that not admitting this is ignorance on my part? . well i would incline you to read this article: . http://www.washingtonpost.com... Comprehensive researches are constantly proving that marijuana indeed has little or NO connection to cancer. Done. Next you question the research i'm talking about: Researches done in Canada have been testing rats with a chemical identical to THC and have discovered new cells growing in the brain. These cells were growing in the hippocampus, which is associated with learning, memory, anxiety and depression. Other recreational drugs, such as alcohol, nicotine and cocaine, have been shown to suppress this new growth. This research suggests that marijuana is healthy and beneficial to the brain as apposed to actual legal "drugs" such as alcohol and nicotine. Now on to your "list of effects" starting with short term. As i stated earlier, Marijuana is proved to have the capabilities that grow cells that will better your learning and memory skills. Thus i would conclude that that statement also disproves your. . "3. trouble with thinking and problem solving" "Those are just the mental effects. The short-term physical effects include: 1. Tremors 2. Nausea 3. Breathing problems 4. Reduced blood flow to the brain " You list these symptoms as if you yourself have sat down and smoked marijuana. i know what you will say to this and i will already say that the researchers that have done study on marijuana have not smoked either, and if they have, then they are "breaking the law" which i suppose you hold in very high regards. so really any researches done are done on animals, which cant really prove anything when it comes to "physical effects". but i wont say some of these effects dont exist. But something similar to the mental effects is that they aren't exactly bad for you. in fact most people smoke marijuana because they enjoy those symptoms. And really is doing no harm to them if they are responsible person. And as for your long term effects. .. The long-term effects are even worse: 1. Increased risk of chronic pulmonary disorders, including cancer 2. Psychological dependence requiring more of the drug to get the same effect. 3. Increased risk of infertility in women 4. Reduced sperm count and abnormal sperm cells in men 5. A-motivational syndrome . 1. Lose interest in setting and achieving goals. . 2. Stop caring about things that used to be important to you. . 3. Neglect school, work, chores, personal health, and their relationships. . 4. Delinquent behavior and aggression 6. Permanent damage to thinking and reasoning ability. 7. Difficulty sustaining attention. First: i already have shown you marijuana is not connected with cancer or any other "chronic pulmonary disorders". second: When you say "Psychological dependence" i'm guessing your equaling a person who snorts coke and a person who smokes a marijuana cigarette. and i know that whole idea is a LOAD. Studies done all the time state that people don't get addicted to marijuana. Most people enjoy like some people enjoy video games or tv. and really like those things. .your not doing any real harm to yourself in which regular use is fine. third: "Increased risk of infertility in women" ok so first read this. . http://pediatrics.aappublications.org... and now tell me there is still a risk. im not saying that this automatically makes me right, but really when you get pregnet the main things you hear are not. . "Dont be smoking the refer or your baby will come out with down-syndrome". You hear the dangers of smoking and alcohol and even caffiene more so. Fourth:Reduced sperm count and abnormal sperm cells in men This is a myth that is very common for politics to use because everyone cares about the whole reproduction process yet no one has laid any real evidence on the table due to "it could be harmful". So i therefore believe there it has no effect on your sperm count but once again no hard evidence so i will let that rest. Fifth: A-motivational syndrome . 1. Lose interest in setting and achieving goals. . 2. Stop caring about things that used to be important to you. . 3. Neglect school, work, chores, personal health, and their relationships. . 4. Delinquent behavior and aggression Really all this is a mind thing. It seems it depends on the person at hand. you find a total slacker in highschool and troublemaker and give him marijuana and his life that was already in the toilet, get possibly flushed, based on his attitude, before ingesting marijuana. It is more than possible that a 4.0 gpa student who is in sports and likes having fun can have marijuana and still be more than motivated. It would seem when examples are made, they are the worst possible subjects which is one of the main reason marijuana is given such a bad reputation in society. Once again, i cant help but revisit the subject of have you ever had marijuana and do you know for yourself that it is a de-motivator? No because back when you were in middle you were probly taught by the dare association that marijuana is bad for you and if you "take a hit off a joint" you will be throwing your life away! this is diving into a subject that is totaling different which i will just nickname "goverment control". As for symptoms 6 & 7 i will say i have shown you numerous things that would show you otherwise on most symptoms and that me having to the same thing over and over also proves that your symptoms are just a repeated list of the same things with just different words. "These are facts that are backed by countless studies and the information is readily available. "- Richard89 I would like to see a couple this as to see if you really have some "studies" that will possibly prove me wrong. "your last statement about the government knowing that marijuana is good but bans it because they can't make money on it is absolutely preposterous. Look at the facts. The effects are clearly negative and your denial of this shows nothing more than a complete lack of reason. " - Richard89 You ended your respnse with what really is one of my favorite things to discuss. The goverment. How great america is something that really makes my stomach churn. I would also like to remind everyone that i do believe Ron Paul is the candidate to vote for. "Well I guess I shouldn't be surprised that you're a Ron Paul supporter. "- Richard89 It is true and i believe that Ron Paul, if elected, will be the road to the way america should be. the way our "four fathers" said it would be in the constitution. I will alaberate on the facts ive shown proving mnarijuana is not a harmful substance, and do you really think that the goverment knows this for sure? If you your reply is simply yes than they have broken theyre own laws which also makes them hippocrits! and if you say no, then they have no right in saying it is bad with no real expierence for themselves. As youve been taught by the goverment and goverment "studies" (if you can call them real studies) that marijuana is harmful to you and will indeed ruin you. Which makes you a drone that thinks they have formed theyre own opinion when really they have been manipulated.
