if cannabis was this wonder drug that stoners insist it is, it would have been legalized long ago.

wanna smoke? sweet, do it. but enough of this hippy, dr feelgood, peace love dope agenda.

you said legalize drugs, therefore, its a valid argument. its also an argument thats raged on for years, with little advancement towards its legalization outside of a few medicinal overturns.

it isnt going to happen. its an argument ive heard too many times. ive read all the crap.

heres whats funny to me. most pro-legalize it people throw away negative reports about it, saying its biased and not true, then use pro reports and arguments about it from pro-legalization publications....

i dont think it hurts anyone, i dont care if you do it. but arguing about it on a message board isnt going to change it.

just look at the old, cranky, set in their ways politicians who control these issues, and ask yourself if their stance on the plant is going to change in the next 20-50 years. the answer is a resounding "no"

so, should we legalize it? probably. will it happen. no.

but its also interesting that most people pushing for its legalization are simply those who use the drug recreationally, and in no way will benefit from the drugs legalization outside of not being put in a jail cell if its found on you. and thats where my annoyance on the subject comes in.

In fact, in the abstract for patent number 6630507[43] filed Feb. 2, 2001 "Cannabinoids as antioxidants and neuroprotectants", held by the United States of America as represented by the Department of Health and Human Services (Washington, DC), they state "Cannabinoids have been found to have antioxidant properties, unrelated to NMDA receptor antagonism. This new found property makes cannabinoids useful in the treatment and prophylaxis of wide variety of oxidation associated diseases, such as ischemic, age-related, inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. The cannabinoids are found to have particular application as neuroprotectants, for example in limiting neurological damage following ischemic insults, such as stroke and trauma, or in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and HIV dementia."

im going to share a story with you about my times at western michigan univeristy.

i had three roommates, one huge pot head. kid was a great student, worked hard. i will not say pot did him anything negative. BUT one of our room mates was younger. he was on the western club hockey team. good player. he began smoking regularily, and we all noticed his behaviour became very shady. it got to the point that he was dealing on a small scale, and even stealing from my other roommates to sell stuff on ebay for money. this behaviour never began untill he started smoking. well, in december, a western varsity goalie got injuried, and my roommate got called up. he was a division 1 hockey player! within a week, he was notified he was kicked out of western for failing grades and such, that he never had a big problem with till then.

so, do i think its a bad drug? no. but can it have a very negative impact on a person? very much so, yes.

and thats why i dont buy into all that pro crap all the time.

So the drug isn't bad but it ruins lives?
