-
Man, your screwed. At least until you pay it off. You had $12,000? What the hell happened to that? Oh well, looks like you'll be working hard for a while.

Drugs, Computers, Guitar Amps, Alcohol, Caffine Drinks.

I thought you quit drugs?

Hope those Amps are good.
$12000 would pay off my tertiary education.

Just be happy you CAN smoke it. There's some odd ass shit brewing here that will eventually lead to the possibility of life sentences for possession of weed. Don't you just love how one party can write up new anti-drug laws, each more draconian than the last, and set the other party's congresspeople up to lose their seats if they're smart enough to vote against the bullshit?
Earth to Bush: I WANT OUT.

I've tried weed, and didn't like it but other people should be allowed to smoke it if they want. Cannabis does have it's medical uses, it can help people who suffer form multiple sclerosis but it's still illegal even for medical use, which is retarded - even cocaine is used as a pain killer for fuck sake what's so bad about draw? :rolleyes:

Yes, one of bad things about this world is that lots of money often ends up in the hands of people who don't need it (like kintaro and Bill Gates) while other more needy people miss out. :(
-
Their is actual, recent, scientific research proving weed can be bad. If your mind is still developing. Say if your about 16 (ring any bells Kintaro?). And smoke cronicly (I can't spell, damn school system and mull!). It can have some really bad effects, like phsycosis and scisofrenia. But in like 10% of cronic smokers. It's possible but not likely. Besides which I don't think congress has seen any very concrete research. Mainly because there isn't any. There where some studies done when mull was first made illegal but they where buried because they said it was good for you. Keep in mind that they didn't get very far. Wonder why? Bush had nothing to do with this however as he wasn't even born.
And then theres hemp. Which you need to smoke about 3Kg to get high on. It's the strongest natural rope, makes a chipboard thats 10x stronger, great clothing, I could go on but I'm to lazy to research it. Now why is that illagal? You most defanantly cannot get high on it. By the time you do you'll have died of smoke inhalation. That and apparently it tastes horrible.

you can smoke it (just don't get caught :p)... In cities usually most police officers don't really care that much (they know everybody does it)

Yeah i've read something about that. I don't have anything against people using it recreationally if they want. The biggest thing I have against weed is that not until now are we getting hard data on what it does to you, unfortunately at the expense of some individuals mental health. A friend of a friend of mine got paranoid schizofrenia from weed, his mates were scared he would stab them in back or something if they weren't careful.
-
The reason that only now are we getting data on it is that during say the 60's to the 80's when weed was very popular as a recreational drug it was say 1-3 shared joints over a weekend. Now days use is much heaver that this. Say 2-5 joints a day to one person (not too sure about this. Help on this would be nice). Mull is a harmless drug when used in moderation. If smoked cronicly it can permanately alter your brain chemistry. The chances of this are much higher if your brain is still developing though (the brain is fully developed at 21-25 depending on the individual).
-
... wtf ... what didn't like it !??
should get some help then... just go to a hospital they will check you out
you must (must) get examined ... Weed works on chemical level not on (i like it,no i do not like it !???)
:))D
was not that the same thing Bush said once ???
-
I believe a country that locks up people for the possesion of something as harmless as weed, is uncivilised.

Welcome to America! ;)
-
in NZ its becoming barely a crime to possess, cops will just give you a warning (if you are honest) or a fine for a joint.
I'll soon be more popular than cigarettes if it isn't already.
But don't get caught growing it.

Anyone here have any links to the studies that shows weed causing mental illness? I have a really hard time believing that. I used to smoke it and I've known hundreds of people who have/do smoke it and I've never heard of such a thing.
The only reason weed is illegal in the U.S. is because a tiny minority of ultra-religious, racist people with lots of money lobbied for it back in the 1930's. It's quite sad actually. Marijuana is classified as a schedule 1 drug by the FDA in the U.S. which basically puts it in the same category with hard core drugs like Methanphetamines,Morphine, Mescaline, and Heroine.

Wow. If they classify weed as a "schedule 1 drug", they should classify beer as a "schedule 1 drug" too, as it's effects are far worse in my opinion.
Over here, we classify in two categories:
* soft drugs (canabis, mushrooms, absynt and that weird new shit from the amazone)
* hard drugs (XTC, cocaine, heroine, etc.)
Ironically, one of our major export product is a hard drug.

they don't say how of those studied did smoke weed but the idea is: you have to smoke excessively during the teen years when the brain develops and be predispositioned towards psychosis.
-
Use of street drugs (marijuana/hash - cannabis, etc.) have been linked with significantly increased probability of developing schizophrenia. Psychiatrists in inner-city areas speak of cannabis being a factor in up to 80 per cent of schizophrenia cases. Researchers in New Zealand found that those who used cannabis by the age of 15 were more than three times (300%) more likely to develop illnesses such as schizophrenia. Other research has backed this up, showing that cannabis use increases the likelihood of psychosis by up to 700 per cent, and that the risk increases in proportion to the amount of canabis used (smoked or consumed). Research also suggests that there is an increased risk of relapse (i.e. risk of significant worsening of the psychosis) associated with marijuana and other street drugs. The more relapses a person has, the worse the prognosis for people with schizophrenia.
Today, there are over 30 published papers linking marijuana to schizophrenia or other mental disorders. The increase in evidence could be tied to the increased potency of marijuana. A review by the British Lung Association says that the cannabis available on the streets today is 15 times more powerful than the joints being smoked three decades ago.

Theres lots more, just put: marijuana mental illness, into the search engine of your choice.
-
Isn't it good to know that the human brain can still be *easily* fucked up by shit because it's not done fucking around with itself until over a third of the way through a normal life?
-
yeah the "15 times more powerful" bit is pretty scary. I for sensible people I would say legalise it but too many parents just DONT CARE about their kids. We have teenagers driving into trees at 100+ mph and parents just don't care if their kids are next. If it got legallised it would just end up in the hands of children whose parents don't give a shit.
I've always believed that any drug that alters/mucks with the brain in the short term will have long term affects whether good or bad I cannot say but there will be changes.

Ah, this explains Kintaro and choasforages :p
-
Those studies are not very compelling.
-
No its not like everyone who has smoked weed is going to go crazy but you are more likely to if you fit the profile.

If the shoe fits, take it off and beat random passers-by over the head with it.

1,200 AUD is around 35.23 USD, so if you're really facing a financial crisis I'm sure some of us could donate a buck or two each, thus ridding you of your debt.

How the hell did you figure that?
1,200 AUD = 740.782 euro = 891.283 USD, according to xe.com/ucc (http://www.xe.com/ucc).

Hey I'm over 4000USD in debt and you dont see me complaining.

I say all drugs should be legalized. Not that I do any drugs (I don't) ... I just think it's stupid to tell someone what is good for them or in their interest. People tell me this shit all the time ... "I'm doing this in your interest" ... I say: "Fuck you, you're serving your own damn interests". They're going off a self-centralized principle ... a society enslaving itself ... MUHAHAHAHAHAHH !!! Well, it's true isn't it ? A bunch of fucking bastards telling you how to live your life, according to their rules ... how can put up with this shit ? And you wonder with so many people telling other people how to live their lives ... who is really in charge ? ... if anyone ?
I say everything should be legal: automatic weapons, prostitutes, drugs, ... uhh I forgot the rest .. just complete the list
-
automatic weapons
I agreed with everything before this. But automatic weapons... They were designed for one purpose: to kill. As long as they were only used for people to kill themselves, I wouldn't mind. But after that, others are involved and your having the gun certainly won't be in their interest.
Anything created with the intent of doing evil onto anyone else is bad, and should be banned. That doesn't mean drugs. And it almost (note: almost) certainly does mean guns (and nuclear bombs for that matter).
-
The basis for the US constitution is that you can do anything you want as long as it doesn't harm anyone else. Therefore (if that is correct) you could argue in a court that you have the legal right to take drugs. Now as you can't take any drug you want isn't that uncostitutional?
