@windywendy, I was not going to join this topic until I read your "silly" comments. I do not smoke or drink alcohol but I tell you that research finds that weed does not constitute any health hazard. It will not kill any one for sure and will not cause cancer. Please the internet is free for u to read up on findings by known physicians. Weed therefore is no more an illegal substance in so many countries. Only the bureaucrats who still SMOKE the stuff but are so PRETENTIOUS are the ones opposing the stuff.
As for the main area of discussion, my brother if the girl no wan gell wit u because of weed, abeg forget am jare!!! Girls plenty out there for real. She will finally meet a man that will molest her and her kids, I bet that's the one she will prefer.
Chumas, first of all, I never said that marijuana will cause cancer. IT IS HARMFUL. I don't know what research you're referring to but here's something on the effects of marijuana for you to ponder on from wikipedia:
Cognitive effectsShort or long-term psychosis/schizophrenic disorders in some users [30]
Varying amounts of paranoia and anxiety in some users[31]
Loss of coordination and distorted sense of time [32]
Impairment of short-term memory in some users[33]
Auditory or visual hallucinations at high doses in some users[34]
Induced sense of novelty[citation needed]
Increased awareness of sensation, including visual stimulation, music, taste, and sexual pleasure[citation needed]
Increased mental activity, like metacognition and introspective or meditative states of mind[citation needed]
Relaxation or stress reduction[citation needed]
Mild entheogenesis (e.g. per Rastafarian users, more "Jah-Vibrations")[citation needed]
[edit]
Behavioral effectsVarying degrees of euphoria and feelings of well-being, ranging from feelings of general well-being to lengthy fits of laughter[citation needed]
Paramnesia, repetitiveness and ambiguation[citation needed]
Initial wakefulness followed by drowsiness and lassitude ("burnout")[citation needed]
Gain or loss of some inhibitions[citation needed]
[edit]
Physiological effectsAntiemetic properties (in moderate doses) [35]
Lowered intraocular pressure, beneficial to glaucoma patients and sufferers of headaches, cramps, and eye pain.
Dilation of blood vessels (vasodilation),[36] resulting in:
Increased blood flow and heart rate (possibly even tachycardia)
Reddening or drying of eyes
Enhancement of many other drug effects (such as those of alcohol, MDMA, or opiates)[35]
Lower blood pressure while standing. Higher blood pressure while sitting (note that this can lead to instances of orthostatic hypotension, also known as head rush).[37]
Increased appetite (often referred to as "the munchies"), an effect of stimulation of the endocannabinoid system, which affects body weight, insulin resistance, and dyslipidemia.[38]
Varying degrees of dry (cotton) mouth[39]
Dilation of alveoli (air sacs) in lungs, resulting in deeper respiration and increased coughing.
Induces drowsiness (beneficial to sufferers of insomnia and sleep deprivation).[40]
Most of what has been cited above is definitely not good!
As for the main area of discussion, my brother if the girl no wan gell wit u because of weed, abeg forget am jare!!! Girls plenty out there for real. She will finally meet a man that will molest her and her kids, I bet that's the one she will prefer.
And perhaps she will finally meet a man sensible enough to stay away from harmful substance and from TROUBLE
You say "half empty", I say "half full"
