What worries me about pot is now it's being laced with far more dangerous and addictive drugs.. You can't just assume what you buy from a unlicensed pot grower will be just pot.
good 4 u bro. these people know nothing. a massive amount of people against marijuana are religious. Marijuana is natural. Made by their god. and by making it illegal they are saying god made a mistake. pretty presumptuous don't you think?! f**k them. we need a community. The gays have one, the blacks have one, even the f*****g Mormons have one!
You really should have left it at what bfitz said, because you're obviously retarded. You are correct in saying that nobody has died from smoking weed, however, some have died from what appears to be an overdose from THC. And where you're correct, cigarettes are way worse, that's not what we are talking about, we are talking about marijuana. Marijuana is technically addictive in the sense that you can become dependent on it (where you feel you need the drug to solve all of your problems and you depend on it). The worst part of what you said was the "and also we have special thc receivers in our brains so its not causing any damage". We don't have "special THC receivers", we have cannabinoid receptors in our brain and immune system, which is what the THC, among other cannabinoids, affect. These cannabinoid receptors were not made for cannabis, but a genetically similar, less toxic/potent chemical. We call them cannabinoid receptors because we discovered them through cannabis. Everything that bfitz said I agree with but he was also bias and off-topic. I don't believe that parents should consume marijuana in front of their kids simply because it sets a bad example for them. I also don't think parents should drink or use tobacco around their kids but especially marijuana seeing how it is illegal and they don't know the difference between bud and crack. The use of marijuana around children may consciously or unconsciously affect their decisions associated with drugs later on.
I have the same issue, only it involves my sister actually smoking weed WITH HER SON!! Our father used to smoke pot with us when we were teens and let me tell you the after effect of something like that is truly detrimental. I always wondered how in the hell can my own father smoke weed with us? And make it seem like it's allright, weed is "natural" all that happy c**p. I have been struggling with marijuana addiction all my life, all thanks to my father. I have three sons of my own, and I'd be DAMNED if I ever smoked with them, or told them it was OK to do so. I strive DAILY in telling my boys that weed is bad, an addictive substance that will surely ruin their lives. Then there's my sister, mail ordering medicinal pot from no other than the state of California. That's right, this b***h has weed sent to her THROUGH THE MAIL!!! Using the USPS to traffic her precious f*****g' pot. And then she gives it to her son, super-potent weed, and wonders why he's bipolar!!! I mean this poor kid has been in the loony bin ALL BECAUSE OF WEED WITHDRAWL, and his parents force feed it to him on a daily basis, telling him he doesn't need anti-deppresants, just smoke a joint instead...it sickens me. It sickens me to the point where I actually contacted the FBI about her mail order pot ring. I hope she goes down HARD, there is absolutely NO EXCUSE for smoking weed with your kids and if I have something to do about it YOU'RE GOING DOWN HARD! Excuse my ranting, I had a few too many drinks tonight, this subject just sickens me to the core, it really does. Thanks Dad, hope you're quite comfortable rotting in Hell!
Small note. That is not caused by use of marijuana. Thats called being a lazy parent. People should really stop trying to blame peoples actions and faults.....on a weed. Its a medicine. People use it. It happens. Now...The parents that cant get up and take care of their children more than likely are not using marijuana. I've used it several times myself for joint injuries, as well as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder(yes...im a veteran). And when ever my son has needed me for anything, I have been completely with the world. The parents refered to above were probably drinking.
You're all complete misinformed idiots. There is no tar is marijuana. It isn't grown with radioactive fertilizer like cigarettes are so it's impossible for it to give you cancer because their isn't anything radioactive in it. Granted smoke from any plant isn't ideal for your lungs. But it definitely isn't as anywhere near as harmful as cigarettes. It's truly a testament to how far humans have came as species for us to be believing a plant that has been used as a medicine since the beginning of man is now illegal because of mans greed and selfishness. Even worse the misinformed idiots who believe this propaganda and spread it around with no understanding of it but just assume. Ignorance and idiocy like this will only postpone our species from evolving.
Yes it is as bad as smoking it your self because it hurts your brain cells. When i was in my moms stomach she did marijuan i was lucky i didnt have any birth defects.
It is MOST definitely every bit as bad as smoking cigarettes as its second hand smoke. Imagine what that is doing to your childrens growing brains and NOT too mention its BAD for pets as well to inhale this stuff. My parents were both regular smokers, cigarettes, not marijuana and that made me a very angry little girl. I couldn't believe that our own parents would put us into that kind of danger due to their own selfishness. I remember going on holidays with my brother and sister in the backseat and them both smoking was DISGUSTING. We always stunk like cigarettes and imagine what that was doing to our growing bodies. It wasn't ILLEGAL in those days as people didn't know all the dangers. Just like marijuana, in 30 years, we will know for certain the destruction that this has done to our children.
I used to smoke pot a very long time (20 years) and it does have adverse effects. I used to think like every pot smoker, things like it relaxes me, it is natural, they should legalize it, you know, the dumb stuff pot smokers talk about in order to avoid quitting and justifying theor habit. A lot of pot smokers justify it saying it is good for cancer. Let me tell you, cancer patients use it to decrease or manage the pain they are suffering, not because it is good for preventing or treating cancer. Pot is a waste of time and it is detrimental to health. You can read about it here: http://www.drugabuse.gov/publications/infofacts/marijuana
medical cannabis is given to patient for cancer now tell me why you'd think it causes cancer they have even specific strain for cancer patients now i think thats just ignorant I'm 15 and don't smoke and i know my facts more than you do. just do some research and you'll find that out.
I have downstairs neighbors that smoke so much they hotbox the entire house. My house is smokey and smelly because of them. They smoke in the living room right in front of their 5 year old daughter, she smells like weed most of the time. I read this article because I too am wondering if this is illegal. I do not think it is fair at all that I have to inhale the smoke against my will, but I too think it is child abuse for a child to have to inhale the smoke too. These people don't work, are very irresponsible, and I watch their daughter 50% of the time. Should I report this, and if so how?
Marijuana smoke causes lung cancer? Who's ass did you pull that out of? Interesting how there are no sources to your claims.
this post is completely biased and wrong! thc is not physically addictive only mentally sch as the for chocolate and chips in dip. no were has there ever been a case of longterms afefects from conssuming marijana via smoke vaporizzer or eaten. second everytime u take oe pff of a cigarette ur inhaling 3000 different chemicals, but yes marijana wen smoked does have carcenogens but there has never been a case of cancer and marijana use has been around just as long if no longerthen tobacco. no to answer your question in order for it to cause some effect they wouldneed to b blowing it in there faces. so is i dangerous no but is it right is up to the them to decide. live above the ignorance! do research on ur own
I just might leave your post up for the rest of my life.

Wrong. It's possible to be honest and informative to kids. Pot is good for you, and it's ok to teach your kids that. If they learn how benign pot is compared to alcohol and cigs you might end up with a healthy smart kid instead of a misinformed confused kid who might try anything because he had no parental input on the subject. Kids aren't stupid, you can teach them the truth. If they find out they've bee lied to about pot they may go o to try other truly harmful things thinking that those warnings were bs too. Honesty....always. Don't lie to your kids!
