Umm what about cocaine, herion, crack, meth?
Ive heard some people that has smoked pot for years dont have any
brain problems..these bad drugs i mentioned above fry your brains..
I never heard anybody die from pot, but have died from cocaine, herion etc.
 
Right, DeFee, that is a no-brainer, not gonna be scared by baloney.
If someone says sex is a brainkiller I will just PHHHHHT too and not care what he says after that.

my opinion for what its worth is . like other views. its juts a plant....unlike cocaine and the other hard drugs that have to be made in a laborarty... it can be eaten as it is.....im not condoning it but how on earth can anyone ban it legally!!!!! can you imagine the uproar ten eyars ago when they found that lost tribe in the amazon.... they smoke it every day..........I'm sorry lads ye cant do that its against the law!!!!!! whats a law?????
cigarettes need to be made as does alcohol. so someone give me a valid arguement why a plant should be banned....after all its in gods garden...

Actually, cocaine is quite natural if you ask me. Cocaine come from leaves of coca plants.

There's another one, Opium which comes from Poppy Seeds.

I'll say that Heroin is pretty much close to Opium, or the same because Heroin is processed from morphine which is a naturally occurring substance. It get extracted from the seedpods of poppy plants.

http://www.nida.nih.gov/Infofax/heroin.html

There are many drugs that are naturally processed from plants. The problem is, these plants are natural.

So... it'll be difficult to ban them from the face of Earth.
 
In all honesty, all I hear now from the crowd that wants to legalize weed is BS.

To those of you who actually do weed, you aren't setting a standard for youself, of course it's safe to you! Do you really think that you would condemn something that you yourself do??? It's stupid! I have morals, and I have standards, and all of those are held to something other than myself or others.

Just because everybody smokes weed, doesn't mean that it should be legalized, that's just one more nail in the coffin of the USA if it get's legalized.

I know people who do different sorts of drugs, and they all think that it's perfectly fine, "Sure I do pot, but it's those heroin users that are screwed up" that's so stupid.

Where are the morals and beliefs that this country was founded on? They are being flushed down the drain by people that believe that truth is relative, and that we are over God.

You know what else was in God's garden....the apple that Adam and Eve ate, after that, they screwed up everything for us. Do you really think that EVERYTHING on the earth is for us to smoke, drink, or eat?

And by admitting that God exists...since it's Gods garden, you admit that God exists, and if you admit that God exists, than you must admit that he has standards and rules to live by, and if you don't, you'll burn in hell.

Drugs are definitely not on Gods plan for your life.

And if you are thinking "It's cruel of God to send me to hell for not obeying his rules" Go jump off the building, would it be cruel for gravity to take it's place? But no! I Don't belive that gravity exists, therefore it doesn't! Go take a jump...and see me in the morning, because obviously, gravity doesn't exist, because you said it doesn't.
 
yeah banjo . i know that .. but it has to be made. unlike Marijuana where you can just eat it......i didnt open the links basically coz of a lack of intrest in any drugs but I'm pretty sure you cant just eat cocaine staright from the plant... like alcohol theres a process first....and apkeat26 .. I didnt actually mean to eat it or smoke it other than them indians... but its banned form even being grown here... thats what I think is wrong.. how can you ban someone from having somehting thats been around for probally longer than man

ONLY morphine?
Not true.
They use heroin too because there is less nausea.
And Holland has one of the lowest crime rates in the world, don't knock them when we have daily drive-by shootings and violence.
We CAN learn from others, and I do not mean to offend anyone in here.

Holland is lowest crime rates in the world?? What a joking!

For Holland is use drugs, plant the weeds, sex with teenagers are legal but we (Europiean except Holland) see different. We called it illegal & crimes what Holland did.
The police in Holland do NOTHING but Bank robbery or murder YES.

I check with my co-workers about those situation.
Well, To Europe who use drugs is illegal.
They use morphine for medical purposes only to prevent pains, cancer pains etc.

The doctor gave my mother-in-law injection with morphine to prevent pains. (brain tumour). It helps.

I am against any drugs to be legal because it could be addictive. I'm glad that Europe call drugs as criminals/illegal.
I'm also glad that I don't live in Holland because of my children's sake.

I do believe Marijuana should be legalized in the U.S. soon.

In my opinion, U.S. is hypocritcial country I can feel. Any alcohol invented by man-made. Who make marijuana? God! Marijauna is a part of herbs.

Look at the verse in the Bible.

Genesis 1:11 and 1:12

11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. 12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.


U see, look at the quote "In God We Trust" in coins and some stuff from Govertment. If Gov't trust God then should let marijuana be legalized. I recalled 16 years of banned alcohol from 1916 to 1933 due of Gov't's lame system

I feel that Gov't System is full of :bsflag:

No, God didn't create marijuana, but people.

Sure, the God create everything on the earth BUT God didn't ask for to create the drugs from plants, grass, leaves etc but do something to cure people's healthy.

See http://www.ukcia.org/research/abel/3.htm to prove that those drugs is not God's idea but people.
Jesus do drank alcohol but he's not alcohlic. It's people who drink alot or smoke alot or use drugs alot.

I would praise Government for agree to ban drugs & will name drugs as criminal.

Yes u right about them are natural but there are other unnatural stuff in them put there by people..Marijuana does not have anything added to it, you just smoke the weed and it is NOT addictive at all..the herion, cocaine may come from plants but they add other stuff in it which is addictive. Meth is all man made and it is very addictive!

Liebling, you said God did not create marijuana plant. You are wrong about that! God did create this plant like all the plants and animals that was created by Him.

Please re-read my post. I did say that God created EVERYTHING on the earth. That's what I am talking about is plant, etc. It's NOT God's idea to create to use marijuana as drug but people.

The plants, God create is use to cure people's heathly or materials etc but not DRUGS.

http://www.abouthemp.com/bodyInfo.html


interesting information.

German use only hemp for a fibrous plant used to make food, textiles, fuel, soap, lubricating oils, cosmetics, building materials and other products. God's idea to use plant as drug? My answer NO.

Well, guess i misunderstood you cuz you said "God did not create marijuana but people" thats confusing for me to comprehend..what i thought is that you said that PEOPLE create marijuana plant..which is not right. So how do you know that God did not want people to use marijuana plant? is it in the Bible?
Like i said, God created it and put it on Earth for a reason, maybe for healing purposes.

Okay, I never said "God did not create marijuana but people". I say: God didn't ASK for to create the drugs from plants. That's what I mean is it's not God's idea to create the drugs from plants but people.
 
I search the websites over marijuana & other drugs.

I realized that there're some good or bad advantages about marijuana & other drugs. Good advantage to use marijuana as medicine purposes such as treatment or relief for asthma, glaucoma, nausea, anorexia, tumors, epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclorosis, muscular dystrophy, migraines, etc.
I'm agree that it's good to use for medicine purposes only BUT there're some bad advantages about marijuana. see websites. I understand why German prefer to use hemp.

I realize of course that there are good and bad advantages of marijuana, or ANY drug.
But to ban it out of hand because of a few bad things is utterly nuts and illogical.
There are good and bad parts to people, so ought we to ban ourselves outright?
Do we ban people for trying to ban anything they disagree with?
It should be a matter of choice.
Live and let live.
