Pot Facts

[Asperchu]

Marijuana is a green, brown, or gray mixture of dried, shredded leaves, stems, seeds, and flowers of the hemp plant. Marijuana has a chemical in it called tetrahydrocannabinol, better known as THC. All forms of marijuana are mind-altering (psychoactive). In other words, they change how the brain works. A lot of other chemicals are found in marijuana, too - about 400 of them, some of which are carcinogenic. Marijuana is addictive with more teens in treatment with a primary diagnosis of marijuana dependence than for all other illicit drugs combined.47

Using marijuana can also lead to disturbed perceptions and thoughts, and marijuana use can worsen psychotic symptoms in people who have schizophrenia.

Additionally, there are higher rates of depression, anxiety, and suicidal thinking among people who use marijuana when compared to people who don't use. Teens who started using marijuana before age 15 are more likely to suffer from anxiety and depression in early adulthood.50 A new study shows that smoking marijuana is associated with a 40% increase risk of psychosis, and the risk is greater among regular and frequent users.

Thanks, this'll be great for my exam next week.

Also everybody should use it, I'm not going to - I mean, someone's gotta watch over you potheads.

[saltovergray]

So basically these are pot facts from an anti-pot perspective?

I don't smoke pot, but I have in the past, either way this seems like an extremely biased post.

Also, breathing air increases risk of psychosis, all guys who went crazy breathed air, I'm not fucking with ya.

Use Marijuana, like any other substance, moderately and nothing too bad will happen to you. To me, using drugs or anything like that is more like an escape and a way to enhance an experience. Sure it may sound sad that I used it to make this "better" but honestly, if you do it and you still live your life good, then by all means go for it. Don't let others talk you into or out of doing or not doing what you want as long as it's not controlling your life.

1. I was fucking around.
2. It's a gay argument anyway, everybody knows the risks of using drugs, but if they do them anyway they deal with the consequences, telling them not to do it because they will hurt themselves is unnecessary, deal with your own problems, don't tell people the same thing over and over again, it's not your fucking problem.

That being said I don't use drugs (pot) because the profits would underwhelm the losses.

I stopped reading when you said marijuana was addicting...

[MoriChax]

I wish there was unbiased facts on marijuana. :\

[FLAMBOYTHEIMPALER]

A perfect clash of Trolls and stoners who overuse facts that everyone knows.

if you've never smoked pot before, you can't really make that claim.
if you have and you didn't really enjoy it, then it's just not your thing.
to each, their own.

^Right-Wing propaganda bullshit^

The latter part of the article looks like something written in the 1950s to scare people away from smoking pot. And despite it being called "the facts" it's still a biased persuasive article.

[Teddyriffic]

I'm too high to give a fuck about that

[MadCow]

100% of all marijuano partakers commit an act of violent murder to a human or animal (usually cats in 1:3 cases) within the first four weeks of their first wacky tobaccy trip

Nice copypasta.

seriously... it's not worth it.
there's no talking to these people.
let them live with their "facts."

I may only be 14, but if it wasn't "mind altering", addictive and maybe alittle lung cancer attatched it would be a smart idea to smoke some if you're about to have an emotional breakdown, it would take your mind off of the stress and calm you down, just I would suggest that scientists find out a way to make it less dangerous.

[Boss]

is it possible teens with depression and anxiety started smoking weed to help the depression and anxiety

yes

[Chdonga]

You can also get aids and die from pot needles.

I would never trust you to watch over everybody. Ever.

[MadCow]

fact: it only takes 8 marijuanas to completely overdose to death. the average pot addict will often smell of human feces and feline urine, and will typically brag about how "stoned" he is. scientists believe this slang term was invented as a way of making a mockery of the fact theyre so high/close to death from highness that they can feel the tomb"stone" over their head already
