I'm gonna be honest, I don't know too many regular pot smokers who smoke 8 joints in a day by themselves, even if it's weak. I don't know any pot smokers(anymore). Nor do I know how often it's smoked a day, I was just posting numbers. :?

Superman! :

I simply wanted to see it, and then take a look at the source, nothing so called as your "blind-faith". Regardless of the "addictions" it still has a use, and people want this use, much like they-as you said-want caffeine. Now you're also bringing into the equation hypochondriacs, which further add to these addiction equations. If told it wasn't addictive-as much as a false statements as it is-people would think nothing of there, 2, 4, 8 joints a day. They wouldn't consult any help because it was considered fine and not an addicting drug. He'd most likely end up dying of lung cancer or other adverse sideffect from the impurities of the drug. So even if it wasn't addicting, people would still use it, probably daily(if not, weekly) which would lead to at least one arrogant fool to use it adversely, and drive home from the wild party at whom they used the drug. So I really can't see any debate over the fact that people would use it sometime in there household, unafraid of criminal forces, would be more likely to do something the user would otherwise not do(think they NEED milk or some other common household good. Then they drive down to the grocery store, make it there and think they've beaten the system. They drive back no problem and they do it again the next day. They think: Hey, I've got this down, I can drive no problem". Sooner or later, down the line, they get pulled over or crash. It's simply the way we work, whether you're sneaking out at night, disobeying parents, the works). As opposed to someone who knows it's against the law, and know the problems it could pose if found to be in possession of the substance. Even if that group of drug users aren't exactly the smartest bunch, and do the same as the above, and get caught. I seriously think that someone whom knows the drug is illegal, would make the decision not to run down to the store for something silly enough as a jug of milk, knowing the effects of marijuana(unless the drug made them do so). Goddess, new ultra? :thumbsup:

Hold the phone there Bruno, they're all studies that talk about the impairments of marijuana. We all know it has them, what Im asking you is to prove that they would actually mean something. If marijuana was legalised, the only way the impairments would make a difference would be if the numbers of people using marijuana grew to ridiculous heights, thus causing more traffic accidents. Now I've given you studies that say the numbers wouldn't grow that much, not enough for the negatives to outweigh the benefits. "Marijuana legalisation would cause more deaths than if it was illegal" - Your words. So you're saying, that the numbers of people who die in car accidents/accidents due to marijuana, would be, not only much more than now, but more than the number of people SAVED from removing both the illegality, the gang relations, the concept of lacing the drug, and allowing people to use it as a medicine. Who knows what the future holds for marijuana medically - it has been shown to stop the growth of cancers in lab mice, which for anything other than marijuana, the government would look into immediately. Yet, they refuse to allow people to do anything other than theoretical studies or studies that can only use their, government grown (yes they grow it) strain of marijuana, which is of an extremely low quality. So, again, we all know it causes you impairment issues. But thats irrelevent. That wouldnt matter unless the number of users would rise dramatically, which so far, I haven't seen proof for. Don't compare the entire legalization to medical us. I'm entirely pro medical use. And excuse my ignorance, but the link you gave me was such as a book, and I cannot find your "If legalized numbers would not increase" statement. Even when I see it, I still can't believe it. It's like if speeding was made legal, no one would do it, despite all the facts that it would cause more deaths etc. So yes, I'm basing this on the ignorance of the people today, population of humans, and legal drugs used today. Billions would be gained by the government, but they can stand ideally without spending a cent of it towards victims of marijuana use. Of course I think they should allow the studies of THC and its various forms, but I can't see that happening as of yet. I know it's not physically addicting, but how come this place(http://www.marijuanaaddictiontreatment.com/)doesn't exist for math or sports?

Some of them show the effects of mothers who smoke. Others show the neurological effects of heavy users. I found multiple ones on the failed results of medical marijuana, but didn't post them. I'm just arguing that all the "little" thinks that weed does, adds up, regardless of whether you want them or not. It's just to much of a risk to have every other drug company growing marijuana and spreading its use. Some of which ignorant about the facts, to drive, operate machinery, and do it in public. Also who will pay for the cost and maintenance(social, criminal, research, etc) of legalization? Who will be responsible for the newly created drug addicts? Who will support and aid the drug addicts addiction?

mind posting a pic of you in your dress if its that memorable :thumbup: :D My desktop is in storage until I get a house. Sorry. -.-

I can post more than 10 sites, all stating the same thing. If you want, I'll post them all. :? I even have book references, medical encyclopedias, the New England Journal of Medicine, etc. Which is why I'm thinking somewhere, this government propeganda thing was to end and has some truth.

A night in Paris theme. A night I'll never forget. 8-)

Now panic again, with any clothing it told you to equip, if any.

No, I'm definitely not saying we should reject it. In fact, I believe we should probably accept the idea that there will be some other form of life. Be it small, or be it large.

I have an HP Entertainment, and still don't have that. But FN+Scrn worked. Thanks! Also, MS Paint is missing from my Start>Accessories, but when I go to User>Pictures>Picture001>Open With>Paint, the option works, and it's there. When I use search and advanced search it only comes up with Paint.Net, which I also have installed. How do I get MS Paint back to the folder, or even find it?

Physics, soccer, and medicine. :P

Just adding on to this: If people use marijuana responsibly, but decide not to adjust their dosage the worst things you'll see from them is vomiting or they'll pass out (and probably wake up long after they've crashed aka wasted their weed). I've smoked some pretty weak stuff and some pretty strong stuff and the worst that has happened to me was passing out a few times. Unlike alcohol, taking using more marijuana than you should have (for a good high) isn't going to kill you. @laura: Please stop with your opinions that you keep pushing as facts and the gov't propaganda. I can see why TheTrueNoob would be angry with you when you're not even using correct facts in your arguement. We never said marijuana is going to kill you. :roll: And why does everyone say every website that lists sideffects of marijuana is government propaganda? You've smoked, would yuo feel comfortable to drive in that situation? I never pushed my "opinions" as facts either. But any ways you look at it, legalizing this drug would cause more deaths than keeping it illegal. Angry is one thing(besides, it's a debate, and public forums), swearing and yelling is different.

It'd help if we knew your stats to give you more accurate results. But prayer is the way to go.

Yup, your Range and Defence are to low to tank.

Lobster in Draynor? There's usually firemakers there.

Umm, I'll skip the telling if she's ready to be kissed part I guess, but, for a start, when you start to kiss tilt your head off to the right (most people do right) otherwise your noses will hit. Most people close their eyes, though some like to have their eyes open. Once you're actually kissing, if you want to try french I would suggest opening your mouth slightly and lightly touching their lips with your tongue, but only for a moment, but enough for them to notice. If they do not respond don't push it. Someone can probably give better advice then me, but if your at a loss, google it I guess. Nah that basically sums up how to start a french kiss. If you just want a regular kiss, just let your lips touch; this is what I'd recommend for a first kiss. If you want you can make like, waves with your lips(not exactly the best way to explain it, but not sure how. :-# ). Just keep it simple on the first kiss is what I'd do. :?

http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_many_people_smoke_cigarettes http://www.nida.nih.gov/MarijBroch/Marijteens.html http://www.mpp.org/ http://www.whitehousedrugpolicy.gov/drugfact/marijuana/index.html 1.8 Billion people smoke cigarettes a year. Of course there are variables, such as how long it has been around, and the fact that it is legal. I can't believe anything that says that if legalized, that marijuana would have the same or less users than if kept illegal. Sorry, that's what I would say is propaganda. http://www.usdoj.gov/dea/marijuana_position.html Ok, so now that we know how many Americans over the age of 12 have admitted to smoking weed at least once in 2004, and 1.8 billion people smoke cigarettes. It's really not hard to piece together how many people would, or would smoke it at least once. And that's the glory of drugs, it only takes just once. Most of my estimations, statistics, and assumptions were made off of the mass use of this drug, because people want to feel good. And if that feeling is rapidly made available, of course they would buy it; unless there morals or the risks prevent them. Even if the accidents were not in the millions range, it is entirely plausible to base this off of the hundreds of thousands, judging by the millions that already smoke it.

Putting ice on directly after a burn isn't exactly the best thing. It cools the skin to rapidly, and leads to slower healing and bigger scarring. :? Just run cool water on it. Hopefully they were good churros though? :mrgreen:

Hark! It's Cover-your-[wagon] Man! :P What I don't understand is how some people reject the thought of intelligent life and seem to think the only possible life on other planets is microbial. I know at least 5 people that believe this, and it makes no sense whatsoever.We're intelligent, right? So why can't there be others? We're only intelligent to what we know. Since we have no other point of reference, we could be quite dumb, or the smartest species in the universe.

yup You can buy his album or just songs on iTunes. I didn't believe you. But I just looked it up. :o

Ok, I was pretty much done with this topic before, but now, seriously, I am now. You're basically telling me, that if legalized, that the drug would have LESS users? :roll: I don't know anything about the Netherlands, nor if it's even legal there. If you want to place that argument in my face, come up with some variables as to why it's not. Seriously. There was no reason you have to use immature language, and capital letters just to make your point heard. We respond to nearly all the posts on here and I would have been happy to debate the issue with you. :roll:

What do you mean? Well, You lure the Lobs and you stand behind a rock covered. How do you pick the charms without getting killeD? O_o You kill them all before, silly. :P

What do you mean?
