    The connection is that society needs easier access to yet another drug like it needs a hole in the head..

    Have you ever heard of trepanning. It’s an operation where a hole in the head is used to relieve pressure. It’s a pretty radical operation only carried out in extreme circumstances.

    Perhaps a hole in the head is exactly what society does need to remove this scourge from our streets. But like trepanning it’s just so bloody difficult to get a volunteer.

    It was the other way around for me. I was pretty straight when I was young, but now I just have a good time. (cmon ladies!)

    Yeah the lungs thing is a worry. Two relatives younger than me have had a stroke or a heart attack. Gulp! And the brain fog takes a bit of fighting off when ya really need the grey matter to function.

    I agree. I think it might simply fail because it was not supported. Mind, the home brewing people didn't put the breweries out of business. It's just too easy to grow a plant or six, isn't it my lovelies..

    Weed actually doesn't "do" much unless you do. Toke up large and sit there and nothing will happen. Watch some cartoons.

    Access to weed is already trivial - that will never change now. The issue is calling people criminals because of it. They aren't criminals - they are ordinary citizens with a wide grin on their face LOL.

    Uh huh. Riding stoned @200 clicks would be dramatically un-funny I assure you - balls of steel required to do that. My 650 will do 220 clicks on the track - theres nothing wrong with that.

    Nice try.

    How does cannabis compare to that?
    You need to get a better drug dealer.

    Very true - Probably the only intelligent and insightful post I read on this thread.

    The trouble with memory loss is you cannot remember what you have forgotten.

    Want to know if your child is smoking pot?
    This test was devised by a Californinan research scientist and treatment specialist, Dr Forrest Tennant.

    "Ask your teenager what time they got up yesterday morning. Have them give you the time, what they did when they got up, what clothes they were wearing, what they had for breakfast, what time did you goto school etc etc make them go hour by hour through the day before. If they've lost the acetylcholine they don't know - they cant remember.

    They'll give you the biggest song and dance you ever heard... well, I, you know... got up. I know I got to school... and watched TV... and I just hung out. They'll give you all these vague terms just like an Alzheimer's case. The'll avoid the question. It's not that tough, and just remember if you can do it, teenagers sure as heck ought to be able to. And if they can't do it, what you have just diagnosed, and what you don't need blood tests to confirm, is acetylcholine deficiency."


    By repeatedly taking mood-altering chemicals and repeatedly altering your perception of reality you start to store debased memories, and the process of losing contact with your immediate self is set in motion. Accumulating debased drug memories is serious enough: even worse is that some mood-altering chemicals continue to debase memory and learning well after the particular "high, fix, hit" or what-have-you has worn off. If the mood-altering chemicals permanently damage the hippocampus, then memory and learning is permanently impaired.

    Oh and for the adults in the room/thread - what is your earliest memory? Regular/chronic pot smokers can usually only remember as far back their teenage years some perhaps to primary school age... by the way folks - non smokers can usually remember something that happened as early as 5 years old.

    Why did I put this up? Well my earliest memory is about 13 years old. Bits and pieces flash back now and again that are earlier but I have literally lost the vast majority of my childhood memories. For a drug that is "harmless" and should be legal for everyone - thats pretty devastating. Try telling your mother or father that you took a drug that effectively wiped you memories of your childhood - Mine were devastated that I could not remember all the great times and experiences of my childhood. How dare I do that to them?

    For me the best 'high' is going for a run or working out in the gym for a couple of hours - natural endorphins, adrenaline - the only way to fly.

    A drug that is scientifically proven to damage the human brain such as pot should stay illegal.

    I hope the Police hurry up and implement road side drug testing as a daily routine procedure like breath testing for alcohol is.

    Atheism and Religion are but two sides of the same coin.
    One prefers to use its head, while the other relies on tales.

    Anyone that does not believe this statement?

    It's called 'FACT'. Not a statement. The above scientific study has numerous citations and has been crossed referenced in many scientific journals across the world.

    For a person not to realise that marijuana physically damages your brain and significantly reduces your memory and ability to learn new information - is either a) current pot user or b) has the IQ of a used tea bag. - most likely both in my opinion.

    ...well that shut all the stoners up.

    Suddenly coming to the sad realisation that you are damaging your brain - the most complex and sophisticated object known to man.

    Yeah good going aye... not so cool now is it.

    So does alchohole but no one is advocating prohibition. The purpose of my post was not so much to debate the merits of dope any more than to portray it's evils but to give and indication of how it became unlawfull based on so many false assumptions. The link I posted is a fairly accurate and concise explanation of this.
