I just love how these cowards mark troll or flamebait rather than trying to prove a point. Or wait, modding a post as flamebait IS proving a point, amirite? Please. Cowards.
Excuse you, I take my security and safety very serious, and my guns just as serious. They are not toys, as you so erroneously put it, and suggesting that they are is probably the dumbest thing after doing PCP.
Yeah, reduced effect. With marijuana, this reduced effect is like not having any effect at all. You feel absolutely nothing. Also, the more marijuana you smoke when you do feel something, the less you feel. The more alcohol you consume, the worse your situation becomes, regardless if you're sort of used to the effects. A drunk is a drunk is a drunk. You don't have to worry about all of those medical marijuana patients. They're not feeling high.
You'll have to watch the interview I posted in an earlier post to get a sense of the research that was done and the reasons behind it.
THC kills off bad cells before they become cancerous, and reduces the size of cancer by killing off cancer cells. It's all in the interview.
Hutchinson Institute are the same people who recently said marijuana causes testicular cancer and that it damages DNA. At least I think they were involved in the latter. I could be wrong.
There's no theory to the government's 70+ year old crusade to keep marijuana's benefits a guarded secret. They knew in the 70s that THC prevents cancer cells from forming, but they still try to claim that marijuana causes cancer.
You won't find that. One would prefer one perfect candidate over 12 different candidates with different views on politics, but you won't find that. Diversity isn't all that bad of a thing.
Oh I know what the goal was. It was to prove that marijuana causes lung cancer, which they found the opposite to be true. Huge blow to government prohibition of marijuana. You keep seeing research from the Hutchinson Institute (I think that's the name) supposedly proving all sorts of harms associated with marijuana nobody else in the world seems to be discovering. I wonder who's funding them? I have my theory that they couldn't trust real science to demonize marijuana since it's not that dangerous to begin with, and they had to move to private institutions where it's easier to formulate false research.
No, I admit I'm gaining knowledge, but the fact remains that the government wanted to discover marijuana's harms, and instead the researcher they employed found that marijuana's not as harmful as they believed at first. That's when this relationship becomes fuzzy at best, as the government is far less than ready to admit the findings of this research they paid for.
Well, when the government employs the researcher instead of the researcher taking on the research on his or her own accord, that researcher becomes a government researcher for all intents and purposes.
The second hand smoke from a single joint smoked in the evening outweighs the incessant smoking habits of a regular smoker? You're making little sense.
The problem with grouping driving under the influence of marijuana with alcohol is that you don't build the same tolerance to alcohol. The so called high you get from marijuana goes away after continual use, much like many medicines that come with the warning about operating machinery. Driving on marijuana is a totally different creature than driving while drunk, and should not be zealously grouped with the leading problem with mis-operating motor vehicles. I can guarantee you sleep deprivation and driving is more harmful than marijuana and driving, especially once the person's used to marijuana and no longer experiences the high, like is the case with most medical marijuana patients. Recreational smokers space out their smoking so they experience the high.
Also, the fact that marijuana's illegal causes more people to drive under the high of marijuana, as recreational smokers often hide their use, and take road trips to have some privacy.
He's a researcher at UCLA and has ran a government study over the course of 30+ years to conclude that marijuana does not cause cancer, and even possesses anti-cancer qualities. Cells die before they have a chance to mutate. The closest thing you'll get to his research is an interview with him on Youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJmQ16cGBHU&feature=player_embedded And you can see Dr. Tashkin's profile at the UCLA website. http://www.lung.med.ucla.edu/faculty/tashkin.htm
He's America's leading expert into smoked marijuana, and he was employed to conduct this research by the US Government quite some years ago.
That's a lie. The only connection marijuana has with psychosis is that it irritates schizophrenic symptons, but so does alcohol. The psychiatric community is deathly afraid of marijuana, and make all sorts of claims as to its dangers, without a hint of hard, real research. If a patient smokes marijuana, they claim every single problem the patient is facing stems from the fact he or she smokes marijuana. From psychosis to depression -- it's all caused by marijuana. They claim marijuana's a depressant. The government claims it's a hallucinogen. Science claims it's medicine -- anti-nausea, pro-appetite, anti-depressant qualities. Don't believe me? Believe some real research.
"The endocannabinoid system has been involved in the control of several neurophysiological and behavioural responses. Indeed, recent studies have suggested that the cannabinoid system could represent an important substrate for the control of emotional behaviour, and further research would probably help to identify new promising therapeutic targets. This paper reviews the results obtained in different animal models used to investigate emotional states after the manipulation of the endocannabinoid system. Cannabinoid compounds can induce anxiogenic- and anxiolytic-like responses in rodents depending on the experimental conditions. Studies using knockout mice lacking the CB1 cannabinoid receptors have shown the participation of this receptor in several behavioural responses including anxiety- and depressive-like states. Furthermore, the endocannabinoid system regulates the hypothalamic-pituitary adrenal axis, which is involved in providing an appropriate response to stressful situations. Recent studies have also demonstrated that the endocannabinoids can function as retrograde messengers, modulating the release of different neurotransmitter, including opioids, GABA and cholecystokinin that have been classically involved in the control of anxiety-like responses. All this recent information has further clarified the role played by the endogenous cannabinoid system in the control of emotional behaviour and provides data to support a new possible therapeutic use of cannabinoid compounds."

The Government's leading expert on marijuana says legalize it. He claims it causes less damage to society and health than both tobacco and alcohol. Look him up. His name's Dr. Donald Tashkin.
And burn a bowl of incense in the face. Good God. How can you think of spending a moment in a room full of skunks, stoned or not? You would have to give me something stronger. Something that would knock out my sense of smell. I wonder where I can find something like that?
They already have a potential advantage over other auto makers. The government has a keen interest in its survival and if the history of Amtrak and the fact it's illegal to compete with Amtrak suggests anything, I might buy a hot model Ford and store it away as a collector's item.

Next on the FDA's agenda: control all homeopathics. I guarantee you.
They're getting a bailout! The government will now own Linux.
Remember, science and superstition don't mix. One or more of those astronauts is going to be nervous though. That's a given.
