Jakumo: Midway between the two opposed arguments about the benefits or risks of marijuana use lies the truth, which is that while millions of satisfied weed smokers enjoy healthy and productive lives with no adverse effects, individuals from families with a history of mental health issues would be best advised to avoid experimentation with mind-altering drugs of ANY sort, due to the risk of inducing permanent psychosis, especially after prolonged use, or indulgence at a young age when the human brain is still in its developmental stage.
THC, the active ingredient of marijuana, delivers noticeable psychoactive effects when present in concentrations as low as 6% by weight, but some selectively bred species of the plant can deliver a mind-bending 25% THC concentration, which is more than enough to render cannabis indica smokers incommunicado, or conversely tip cannabis sativa smokers into extreme paranoia, often coupled with bouts of wildly accelerated pulse rates.
Cannabis Indica, native to temperate and mountainous regions of the world, produces a sedative effect that in even moderate doseages can completely immobilize and numb users, leaving them in a glassy-eyed stupor know as "couch lock", during which the stoners find themselves effectively "locked" to the couch in which they sit, unable to move a muscle or formulate a coherent sentence for a good few hours while the effect wears off during the inevitable slumber that follows.
Cannabis sativa, which grows throughout the tropical belt that includes West Africa, increases blood pressure and heart rate, intensifies emotions, and could lead to violent behavior in those already predisposed to aggression. The sativa strains grown in South Africa, renowned for their extremely high THC levels, are in fact known to be directly responsible for a significant number of admissions to mental facilities among users in the townships there. Known in South Africa as dagga, those strains have sent many a previously "normal" user straight to a ward in the nut-ranch.
In summary, marijuana, despite never having caused a single overdose death in medical history, could impair the mental stability of some people, even as it provides millions of recreational users with a safer alternative to alcohol.
Of course jookco is smart enough to know if his family has the possibilities of familly history with mental illnesses and thus clearly is in the clear of doing anything to himself while at the same time advising others whom he knows nothing about that the drug is safe.
jookco: What da bleep are you talking about?, must you insult me just to disclose how depressed you are?, I bring you good news just in case you don't know about it and you are here insulting your father. Do you believe what the white man or your doctor told you about weed?., listing my dear we are not fighting instead try to smoke one small wrap of weed and see if you won't be free from this depression, again this a good news and its the only way you can survive in this time of austerity.
Remain Blessed
It is not hard to discover that anyone who describes weed as a medicinal herb is either of the Rastafarian ideology or addicted to its psychedelic effects and therefore cannot comprehend the long term effects it has on the human brain.
My experience has seen too many of you gullible uneducated people push people into this behavior without showing them the possibilities of what this can do to them.
If you are depressed. take a break from the rigours of life and holiday somewhere or find someother constructive means to heal your self internally.
jookco: Most of you commenting here have never tested weed, this is the finest smoke in the planet earth, it's not dangerous like tobacco, so please stop criticizing it or criticizing people who smoke weed please. I will advice you try it and see if you can ever stop smoking it.
Doctors smoke it, Pastors and Bishop smoke it before the mount the pulpit to enhance their performance, weed is a medical herb and it cure many sickness , I'm going to prove it with this video. Watch this video and join the chorus.
buzugee: no point in testing my intelligence. just go google all of them. matter of fact the ones i mentioned are more destructive because they (alcohol and coffee) also destroy the heart. they both cause serious life threatening arrhythmias
You are comparing schizophrenia to arrhythmias.
I suggest you go visit a psych hospital, stay there for a couple of days, see if you will be singing the same tune.
There's nothing worse than loosing your sound mind.
buzugee: coffee, alcohol and maggi cubes (msg) and fastfoods leads to all sorts of behavioral and psychiatric problems but i am sure that has never stopped you from indulging.
lets test your intelligence. Name one psychiatric problem linked to coffee, alcohol or msg's and then name the ones associated with weed. Compare the two and see which ones destroy your mind.
armyofone: 40% of taxed dollars to make to kill the bad guys so that you could sleep peacefully at night and you woke this morning to write the crap above, a blacksheep you are and must be high on some cheap crack ! SempiFI Support our Troops
And you still paying them taxes and live under the same regime that gaurds that FREE SPEECH you be yapping out everyday huh?. Sorry excuses.
in the wise words of ice cube, "RUn NI(@)@GA. RUN!"
MandingoII: They gotta keep FAIRYTALES alive for little girls and deluded grown women
when we know better.
Your US azz don't understand british culture. They could have abolished the monarchy much like other monarchies in Europe. The majority of the british public want to keep them as a form of tradition and heritage regardless of what many historians will tell you regarding their atrocities.
Hey its a democracy. Majority will wins. You should understand that as a minority in the US huh?
cap28: These clips you've posted up there prove nothing.
All i can hear on the part of the CBN governor is that the nigerian govt refused to accept devaluation of the naira. But one major thing you missed was the fact that this was his position 2 months BEFORE THE ELECTIONS -
I would be very interested to know what his current position is on this.
Really Cap28. his current position has not changed. World economic forum Africa was just completed in Capetown Sa and discussions on Nigeria touched on these worries. THE POSITION IS STILL THE SAME!!!
and please I know you are going to jump on "where is the proof" to try to invalidate. Don't worry, as soon as the video's are released. I will post them.
cap28: It makes perfect sense for the nigerian govt to lie about its position before an election in order to ensure its voted back into office by the gullible nigerian public.
It is still very early days, but i am very sure that nigeria's position on this will change very soon and the devaluation will take place despite Lamido's (staged) protestations.
I don't understand what you on about here. THe CBN governer is not obligated to the Presidency to do their bidding, rather its the other way round. THey take recommendations from him and If he sees no reason to devalue the Naira then thats just what's going to happen. The best the govt can do is replace him which he is fine with seeing that he was making more money as CEO of First Bank.
That man doesn't need to stage anything for anybody.
cap28: In Libya they have 4 fully functional refineries - nigeria which claims to be a democratic nation does not have one fully functional refinery instead it prefers to import petrol at inflated prices, the nigerian politicians award petroleum import licences to their family and friends and these parasites exploit their own people by selling these petroleum products to the masses at inflated prices.
Jay bee i agree with what you said about fighting to change things ourselves but remember we are not a united people, when the time comes to fight everyone will immediately allign with members of their own ethnic group irrespective of how sincere these people are, look at what just happened during the last elections, southerners got behind goodluck jonathan despite the fact that he is a member of one of the most corrupt political parties in nigeria.
[b]Change can come in nigeria but it will have to be a grassroots movement - the masses will have to use force to remove the corrupt elite at the top that is the only way change will come about.[/b]The nigerian elite (the politicians, business people, technocrats) are the enemies of the nigerian people - they are not interested in improving the lives of ordinary people, they have no vision, their only objective is to keep lining their pockets.
They have a vested interest in things remaining the same, why would someone change somethign that they are benefitting from?
- these are all the kinds of things that the west could not do to Gadaffi, when gadaffi felt that libya wasnt getting a fair price for its oil from the western oil companies he cut his oil production and started threatening to nationalise the entire libyan oil industry in order to enable the libyan people exert greater control over oil prices, can you imagine someone like Jonathan doing something like this?
Spoken like a true MARXIST COMMUNIST peasant.
Karl, Che and MAO will truly be proud of you.
cap28: The only interests they serve are their own selfish interests and the interests of foreign multinational businesses and banks - that is why Goodluck Jonathan had to go to Obama first to get Obama's backing, Obama gave his backing but with conditions attached - that nigeria devalue its currency so that foreign investors can come into nigeria and buy up nigerian public utitilities at rock bottom prices. Did Jonathan object to this? Of course not, all he could say was wait until after i have won the election then i will devalue our currency and plunge my people into even more hardship
PROPAGANDA WARNING!!!!! SEE VIDEO FOR ACCURATE PERSPECTIVE
cap28: Research indicates that certain professions attract individuals with sociopathic personality traits more than others - apparently sociopaths are over represented in the following professions - law enforcement, politics and the entertainment industry,
The majority of George W Bush's administration were made up of individuals who have been described as sociopaths - D.ic.k Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Perle, Condoleeza Rice.
Obama's administration also has its fair share - Hillary Clinton, Rahm Emmanuel and Susan Rice are the first ones that come to mind.
Obama exhibits personality traits of a sociopath - he is charming, manipulative, deceitful, he also comes across as detached and indifferent.
They smile in your face, they seduce you with their charm but at the same time they plot your destruction, these kind of people can look at you with tears in their eyes and tell you the most bombastic lies, they can even swear on their own lives that what they are saying is the truth, they are fantastic actors and actresses - they have no conscience - everything they do in life is for self aggrandisment usually at the expense of someone else.
The nigerian kleptocrats are classic sociopaths - they are motivated purely by greed as they see nothing wrong with working to serve the interests of the europeans and americans knowing the damage and destruction that they are causing to their own people, they are the reincarnated slave riders who sold africans to european and arab slave traders hundreds of years ago.
@ Mandingo
Sometimes LOGICAL MINDED and STOIC thinkers have been mistaken for sociopaths. A socio path is not equivalent to person with the ability or training one has acquired in seperating reason from emotion, especially when faced within contexts that require critical cognitive processes or circumstances.
A socio/psychopath in its strictest defintions describes someone who is utterly DEVOID of human emotion, sympathy or empathy in its strictest of terms and is able to manipulate or possess the ability to manipulate OTHER PEOPLES sentimental leanings to further their alterior or SELF satisfying agendas.
look at the excerp you posted again, then take into consideration the below scenario:
E.g A soldier who has spent all his life as a trained killer and is on strict orders by his superior officers to kill on site any armed personel he encounters during a mission. Soldier finds himself face to face with 12 year old fully armed boy pointing a gun at him.
Dilemma. How should he react?
Response 1: He takes aim instantaneously and fires at will, gunning down and killing the 12 YEAR OLD BOY. He steps up to the body and cracks a SMILE.
Response 2: He takes aim, pauses for a moment,lowers his weapon and hesitates to shoot the 12 YEAR OLD BOY. After the brief pause. He takes aim again and fires, instantly gunning down and killing the boy. He steps up to the body and cracks a SMILE
Of the two scenarios, which situation demonstrates the possible tendencies of a Psycho/scoiopath? None, Both, One? Why?
and whats wrong with his accent? he speaks with his natural american accent whereas you are an african man writing in fake ghetto american slang - are you having an identity crisis?
Nope! just pointing out what academic relevance the broke azz professor is trying to convey by mocking a libyan accent.
Guy sounds like a broke azz PHD in African studies. His solutions are nonsensical plus whats up with the accent switch, "slaughtered", "British", "where are the bodies" How the hell can this guy be taken seriously, hahahahahaha!

My friend will you carry this spam comot for here. Na ya papa parlour be this!
Blazing99: Colonial mentaility, That's the Nigerian problem.
I pity those who watch CNN and believe everything they say. Before the 2nd world war, German media made Hitler look like a great man. He was friends with the church. Infact, he was like a messiah. Only for him to use the Germans to fight his war of hate, which they didn't know.
The media manipulates, get a grip on yourself and think for yourself. Dont let the media think for you. Ghadaffi's a dictator, yeah but there's more to the war in Libya than is being sold off by the media. Syrian government is killing protesters till now, why wasn't there a no-fly zone there huh? What does Libya have that Syria lacks?
Because you attack a weaker opponent when you have the opportunity to take him out. Syria is positioned much stronger that Libya. It aint about right or wrong. it is about POWER!
Thats your best response Dingo. I'll still wager on that bet of ours. Make sure to cash your welfare checks early so you can have enough money, will ya?
MandingoII: [size=16pt][center]ON A SERIOUS NOTE!!![/center][/size]
I'm beginning to believe we have a nice lil ANTI-IMPERALISM group here.
Certain people here know how this world work.
Even though we do NOT see eye-to-eye (because of our own biases and personal experiences with each other)
We should follow a posters SUGGESTION,
and create a MOVEMENT.
otherwise, this is HOT air.
if I were a betting man. I would put my money on that "HOT AIR" statement there. Noise making with the supposed objective of educating us on the 'covert" operations of the US
Like this just started happening yesterday, worse still in this information age it seems the assumption is that we are too brain dead to figure stuff out cause as always some PUPPETMASTER is pulling all the strings.
PLEASE!!!
Madingo and the rest of ya'll. This is for you regarding blowing hot steam everyday about the US !!!hahahahaha!!
igbogolo: Please stop bundling the US with NATO! Cant you people leave the USA alone for once?
There was tremendous pressure for NATO to get involved in stemming the use of force on Libyans. But before NATO could get involved, weather militarily, there must be clear LEGAL backing and international support. In order words there must be clear and demonstrable need for NATO and a strong regional and legal basics.
NATO did not cause the uprising in Tunisia that spread to egypt, libya, syria, yemen, bahrain, saudi. Ghadaffi has to leave before peace returns to libya, and leave he must either dead or alive.
In a couple of posts from now you will be labeled a western apologist, saboteur and traitor to the destruction of the imperialists and the realization of the black man's destiny by Cap28. The IMF, stealing of oil and Goldman sachs may also be mentioned shortly.
unless you talking about Africans, then again you are STILL undereducated to make such a post.
Stick to AA affairs. I am talking about Africans. You guys are a confused breed.
MandingoII: White people oppress/ and have oppressed everybody.
white people are NOT going to look at Blacks as EQUALS!!!
they never have and NEVER WILL.
What bearing does that have on your sense of equality. Are you waiting for them to approve you. See that's you guys problem. You leave the definition of your self worth in their hands because you continue to use their lives as your yardstick. SICK
MandingoII: As a Blackman I've learned to TAKE what I want from this land. By my efforts/hardwork/education and the OPPORTUNITIES that present themselves.
OPPORTUNITIES ARE REMOVED from African nations, and given to a few.
Middleclass and uppity Blacks of all nations RARELY will do anything to give up their STATUS.
IT MUST BE TAKEN. If African countries or Black Americans want a better life, WE HAVE TO TAKE IT FROM THE WHITE OLIGARTHS and plutocrats,
YOU ONE DUMBA/S/S african Morpheus, You have become westernized and LAZY.
Yo aint tkaing poo from anyone. What you gonna take that they don't control already. The change comes from within first you dummy.
You are under their proteciton and can only enjoy what they tell you to enjoy. Remove the hedge and you one dead N)#*#ga. cause the rest of the world will come after you . Especially those SAND N(#)*GA's.
ivory coast must have oil. Because we already know they after Libya because Quadaffi wants to nationalize his oil for his people and America/France wants it.
That's gangstering.
After reading this excerp again I swear I've been having flash backs of "gollum" in the lord of the rings. I WANTS IT!!!
ivory coast must have oil. Because we already know they after Libya because Quadaffi wants to nationalize his oil for his people and America/France wants it.
Bawss1: With this line of reasoning are you saying that the west rigged the elections in GEJ favor? How else can one understand your statement that Buhari did not win because he was not favored by the west?
It still isn't clear what you meant by the elites helped in rigging the elections.
Bros that boy get mental issues concerning western powers and IMF . He will make up anything to convince you of conspiracy theories that concern those two subject matters.
cap28: I totally take my hat off to this man, despite the neo colonial onslaught on his nation by america, britain and france he courageously continues to stick two fingers up to these bloodsucking vampires by driving in an open topped convoy in broad daylight through tripoli:
"Revolution is not a dinner party, nor an essay, nor a painting, nor a piece of embroidery; it cannot be advanced softly, gradually, carefully, considerately, respectfully, politely, plainly, and modestly. A revolution is an insurrection, an act of violence by which one CLASS OVERTHROWS ANOTHER." _Chairman Mao
the blame is on your police chief who needs to take classes on public speaking. You cannot make sweeping stupid general statements that demonize a whole country.
Tis like saying all SA are xenophobic African killers who kill their own blood brothers because their government has failed to revive their economy. (see what I mean)
There is a way to say things in the public withough inciting,
