Turn off all lights/electronics usually does the trick. They'll just think you aren't home or you aren't giving out candy. Hang out in your basement or back room with the door shut or something

Fun fact: Scientists have never been able to link hyperactivity/"sugar highs" to sugar.

No, that would be too hard

Each hammer lasts 33k exp so exp you need to 70 divided by 33000.

Close, he's 13 according to his profile :lol:

Little late to the party. Didn't even contribute much anyway

Because correlation = causation. Duh

No, no, no, no, no, no, NO. 1. It was CORRELATED with schizophrenia, note that correlation != causation 2. That was in people who were already genetically predisposed to schizophrenia Yeah, that's what I meant. I didn't mean smoking causes schizo, i meant #2. oops! That's for so few people that it's practically a non-issue.

Pray tell, what are these mental health consequences exactly?

I didn't know Bill Murray was in it. Even more of a reason for me to go see it. He is one of my favorites. Yeah, everyone running around saying Bill Murray is in it kind of makes it less awesome when you see him though

I live in Canada, national healthcare. You're telling me that the money the government makes off the marijuana will be less than the money they have to spend on the damage weed apparently does? And I don't know how you don't get that it's not just tobacco in a cigarette, it's not like smoking half a cigarette.

They said if the first does well and all the actors are on board, they want to do another. Originally it was going to be a TV series, so they'll just take the next few episodes and make a movie, apparently they have enough ideas/plans for something like 12 movies

This may [bleep] me/come back to bite me in the [wagon] in the future, but my grandparents smoke weed when they go to Jamaica apparently. Oh nice. I recently read a Digg article, where the guy found out that his (and many other) parents who are at the age where they have retired, were looking at drugs as a recreational thing to do. I'd post the link if I hadn't recently erased my history. Yeah, I thought it was pretty funny considering my grandma is super prude/traditional usually, not to mention one of her sons is a cop. I'm going to apply for the police when I finish university so I hope it doesn't disqualify me.

So what is your stance on marijuana? I'm getting mixed signals. This may [bleep] me/come back to bite me in the [wagon] in the future, but my grandparents smoke weed when they go to Jamaica apparently.

One of my favorite quotes on the subject: It is hardly a revelation that people who use one of the least popular drugs are likely to use the more popular ones Marijuana is simply the most common denominator. In the case of your friends, I guess that isn't really gateway theory. Replace marijuana with any drug and you will probably get the same result. I really doubt that it was the marijuana that caused them to try new drugs, as they would be actively seeking new drugs without being peer pressured by their dealer. The sides of this part of the debate are still really divided and I don't think much research has been done in it ^ that's a better explanation of what I was trying to get at

Gateway theory is full of holes. It is hardly a solid theory. And sorry if I prefer studies done by scientists and experts rather than anecdotal evidence.

Because smoking a joint and smoking a cigarette only HAVE ONE INGREDIENT IN COMMON. Cigarettes have hundreds of harmful ingredients, so how do you formulate that one ingredient can cause all the problems of a full on cigarette?

Well it's got a pretty bad stigma attached to it for a lot of people

Oh, and then there's this:

Impossible to overdose, and I'd like to see as many sources as you can come up with that state that marijuana exclusively (this includes vaporizing and ingesting) is a major contributor to cancer. :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall:

Well, alcohol is deadly because it causes liver failure or organ failures and what not. Those SHOULD be in the death rates because it is alcohol causing those organs to fail. Similar with cancer and smoking, it isn't really indirect and SHOULD be included. Also I'm not buying the "the majority of joints will have at least half tobacco, which means your smoking half a cigarette basically. That means its half as deadly as a plain cigarette." Cigarettes have hundreds of deadly chemicals in them, it's not just the tobacco killing people. I don't claim to know much at all about cigarettes, but here is a quick google I'd like to know the amount of each in a cigarette but oh well. I'd like to see stats on this, I know of lots of marijuana users who don't smoke outside of getting high.

Nicotine is in the tobacco, which is mixed in when smoking weed to make it burn, making it just as addictive. So you agree then that marijuana is not addictive. If people use vaporizers it also gets rid of the need to smoke it. I mean, I'm no expert on taking marijuana, but there are other ways other than smoking it. Hell, you can mix it in tea even. Oh, and here is a nice study comparing Amsterdam marijuana users to San Francisco users, in which: On frequency: Addiction/use over career: http://www.mapinc.org/lib/limited.pdf It includes charts which I cannot put here because I don't have Photoshop ATM. But, given that addiction = well, you NEED it and you take it lots, care to explain why there is a decline in use and no clear addiction to it? There has never been a known death attributed to marijuana. Never. You can try to find one, but you won't find it. It's also impossibly to OD on marijuana. It'll be a looonngg time before marijuana becomes legal (if ever), pharmaceutical lobbies are just too powerful.

Because marijuana is not addictive, cigarettes have nicotine that makes them addictive from what I understand

I'm sure there are tons of people that would rather get some watered down version of marijuana (IF that were to happen) than have a criminal record for being caught with it. Women being subordinate used to be the norm everywhere, now we have equal rights. Just because it's tradition doesn't mean it should stay. Marijuana has almost no negatives and has a ton of positives
