Ramuh.Dasva said: Hey if you want to ignore all testing because you don't want to believe it and start with misquoted said sources and when that didn't work didn't like the fact most of them were teenagers that's up to you too.
Cause that completely discounts them. Or the fact that one study went to 24 or another went to 65
I never saw one that went to 65, the one with 24 year olds was 14-24, so you still have the underdeveloped brains in the testing pool, meaning your still going to get your results. Another one was self reports from 1960, thats sketchy in comparison to all we can do now. There are also arguments against this you know? Have you read those?
Again, this law is 21+, so yes, I am going to ignore the teenagers. Sorry.

Marrs somewhere a few pages back you went from being peaceful to just getting verbally violent. Getting angry at people doesn't help the cause or discussion in this case. Weed smokers want to be considered calm people and make it seem like a rational choice to make pot legal, not verbally outburst every time someone disagrees. Everyone here except 1 person, not counting the trolls is pro-pot, and yourself wanted a 2 way discussion. You are gonna end up running davsa off.
Threads basically done at this point, most people here agreed it should be legal, not many will argue otherwise so there isn't a discussion to be had.

Ramuh.Dasva said: I disagree with your study merely because it is probably biased and however they did the testing or whoever did it on because it isn't me
Yah, quite honestly the reason I quit myself was because of that lethargic feeling one gets from all the THC building up in the body. It really does make (most people, not all for sure) apathetic after long-term use.
While some people regard that feeling as "laid back and easy going", I personally didn't like it at all.

Your testing is about brains, I think anyone and everyone can agree a brain still developing shouldn't use drugs, and testing brains that are still developing is nowhere near analogous to testing animals, especially when what your testing for refers to the brain (psychosis). Cmon guy...You're really clawing here. Or are you arguing kids are like animals in reference to testing for psychosis in adults or? Seriously, what are you doing?

Unicorn.Marrs said: Ramuh.Vinvv said: You can still legally buy papaver somniferum(opium poppy) in the united states as I have before :D
they kept it legal because old ladies think the flowers look pretty.
kind of on the same fringe line that something called "spice" is and how "salvia" was.
illegal for consumption on the package. lol
I think, personally, (although I can't prove this) spice definitely *** with your brain. I tried it for a week and had noticeable effects that slowly built up over that times use. Whether or not those effects could be permanent (in a slight way) I dunno, as I did go back to normal a few days after stopping. This again was a very slight thing I noticed. A few too many day dreams. Spice essentially is just spices doused with a cannibinoid spray.
here's the wiki for it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JWH-018
it's a full on agonist rather than a partial agonist like weed, meaning that it's stronger than weed but can have more of an adverse negative effect.
you can have seizures from it for example, that's because of it being a full agonist and fully taking down certain receptors and all that.
but i'd rather not get too technical about it because i don't know much past that.
edit: I have tried a different incarnation of it called "k2", we ended up just rolling it with actual weed for flavor purposes, the blueberry k2 was *** delish.
i think economically it's not a good idea to be smoking a lot of it just because it costs a lot more than weed, but physiologically as long as you don't over do it it won't be any worse than weed, i would like to get a hold of the actual chemical though.

That we don't and can't test every exact group in multitude and yes given the nature of this it is much easier to find kids that admit to using and that there are paralells. Which why we do testing on animals and other groups of people

the fact is people should have a choice. its only when peoples actions affect others in a negative way action needs to be taken. right now im sitting here smoking a joint, fishing on the boat, browsing forums and generally just relaxing ^^ i am the best advertisement for legalising weed i can think of.

Simply because the test involved people 24 that doesn't mean it implies them, if I test people 1-65 for alzheimers and 5% of them have it, can I say infants have alzheimers? Even the test say "adolscents". The law will be 21+, if you have a good significant source, or maybe I missed the part in the test where they seperated the age groups....? Then we can go from there.

If my "excuse" is because the testing involved brains that were still in development for a thing that effects that very brain's status, and thats your argument against me (thats an "excuse" of me), good, I'm satisfied with what onlookers will see here.

Aspirin is chemically more toxic/damaging that LSD, did ya'll know that...sorry I can't argue the whole study thing with weed because cannabis isn't my absolute strong suit.
Now i can talk about lsd all day.

now getting behind the wheel when I'm high...don't really see much danger than that because I usually don't drive really fast.

Isn't the issue that the government wouldn't be able to control the marijuana market or something, so people would still obtain weed off the streets to get it cheaper?

Like I said, people just pretend like if its legal, its going to be like the wild wild west, there wont be laws against doing it in public (there already are in the prop) etc...sigh...

If your only argument besides the earlier misquoting is because some of the people are at the youngest 14 I'm satistfied too
I don't care much to start an argument on pro's rather I'd like to hear the opinion of people who can be against it and then we start from there. Because, personally, after reviewing the subject widely, I can't imagine that anyone would be against it for a logical reason in a world where alcohol is legal, unless, they're going to also argue it should be as well, along with maybe, cigarettes.
