dabs tooI suspect edibles are going to be at fault. The potency of edibles can flatten someone who isn't a regular cannabis user.
dabs too
It's all relative, of course smoking a zillion bongs a day will be bad for your health, but smoking a joint once every couple of weeks or so isn't going to do shit to your health.
Why not just google it? There's plenty of talk, and pretty recently about the affects of it possibly damaging long term brain functions.
I've seen desperate weed dependency from poor people that cripples their already meager income.
lol ... So I should Google more intellectually dishonest articles for information about a substance that's had almost no real research done on it?
The best thing about legalization will be us actually studying the substance so I don't have to read crap online that was made for the soul purpose of perpetuating a failed drug policy.
There's a reason you used the word, "possibly"
It's because nothing has ever been linked to THC beyond correlation.
This. Moderation is key. Being a pothead is not cool.
Sure, let's just go with your word on it. I'm sure we'll all be better off.
What are you trying to say here? Do you think the drug war's credibility should be taken at face value?Sure, let's just go with your word on it. I'm sure we'll all be better off.

LMAOguys don't joke about about weed like this, because my brother died of a weed overdose in the 7th grade.
he was just a normal kid, who also happened to be the star quarterback, and a straight A student in middle school, and he went to church regularly, and was a prophet for Jesus and George Washington,when he got invited by the "cool kids" to a party. He thought it was just going to be a nice game of "Ookie Cookie," one of his favorite past times, but instead, was forcibly injected with bong water straight from a joint. The death was apparently painful, as he apparently would regularly see the devil and see the3 constitution burned in front of his eyes. His poor 7th grade heart, liver, brain, and left foot all apparently failed on him and he died instantly. When the ambulance arrived at the house, all the other children had apparently eaten him in a fit of the munchies, and since there was no longer any evidence left of his body, they could not be charged with the murder of my brother.
Just thought I'd share this with you guys who think weed should be legal, do you really want more cases like what happened to my brother

So wait, is that perception wrong? Or are there even less harmful illicit drugs out there that people could use instead?Increased pot use by Americans is partly fueled by a misperception of the health risks, the UNODC report said. It cautioned that although the public may perceive marijuana to be the least harmful of illicit drugs, there has been a noticeable increase in the number of people seeking treatment for cannabis-use disorders over the past decade.
did he turn black and gay

Don't hold out on us UN. Spill the beans.
But hey, this is Gaf, so this will probably just fall on deaf ears.
What the fuck are they talking about? You get these sentences about general emergency room visits on the rise, but literally none of the information you want: why? What are they going to hospitals for? Are they just super high and think they're dying when they're totally fine?
"Marijuana-related health problems" is just an easy scare. Give us the meat.
I love the, "Guys, we need more time to do testing." bit.
It's not like whole cultures of people have used marijuana for 1000's of years or anything like that, right?
Meanwhile, alcohol is A-okay because, even though it has both worse acute and chronic adverse events associated with it, it has long been part of white people's culture, am I right?
This isn't about how society views these issues, it's about actual scientific fact.
Be careful of this sort of generalization; the mods are watching.
the dangerous THC-levels
Anecdotal evidence? Like what? People you know who have smoked all their life and don't have issues? I got plenty of those too.Well I at least have anecdotal evidence on my side. What do you got besides correlation?
In any case. I'm not trying to say herb is harmless. I acknowledged it needs to be studied more in the post you quoted. So I'm not sure what your point is.
What I do know is that this UN article is more of the usual garbage. Lots of claims with no receipts.
If your point was that our drug policy hasn't failed I would invite you to show me where it's succeeded.
Man, some of the reactions in here. I get it, weed is great, and you're not going to die from a joint. But the stance that there are no negative effects to the drugs at all (the increase in THC is well known and has been the centre of a lot of political debate in my country for years, although the problem is that pot has never been legalised, it's just been decriminalized, so they can't do much about the dangerous THC-levels without actually legalizing it, which they don't want to do for a lot of political reasons (mostly related to relations with other EU-nations). Sure, you can come up with comparisons to alcohol or smoking or gambling or whatever, but that's not what this discussion is about. This isn't about how society views these issues, it's about actual scientific fact. No one is trying to judge you or your hobby personally. It'd be fairly interesting to actually have an honest discussion about this on Gaf, but this just isn't the place for it apparently. I know from experience that it's almost impossible to have an adult discussion about this stuff with someone who uses and enjoys smoking weed, but a stance like that is just insulting to people who did suffer some serious consequences.
Source: I was heavily dependent when I was going through some very tough years myself. It made me apathetic to the real world to the point where I contemplated suicide, tried and failed two times. I still suffer from serious memory problems after two years of being sober, it's much harder for me to pay attention to something for long periods of time compared to before I started doing drugs, and I still can have paranoid(bordering on schizophrenic) anxiety attacks during stressful periods at work. Sure, you could argue that that's just because I was weak myself and probably had some latent psychological issues that enabled themselves through my drug use, and I wouldn't argue with that conclusion. But doesn't the fact that that can happen mean that a healthy, non-judgmental discussion about this topic is essential? I visited a bunch of Narcotics Anonymous meetings, and I met a lot of people (who in their everyday lives would come across as very normal and well adjusted people) who were of far worse than me. Even after everything that happened I'm pro-legalization for a variety of reasons, and I'm sure that people can enjoy it without destroying their lives like I did. But some people can't, and the way in which some people who enjoy pot react when you cast even a slight bit of doubt at the claim that pot is not harmful - reacting with incredulity/anger/disdain to the notion - is just more than a bit sad. Legalisation is great, but that really needs to come with a proper level of education about what you're actually doing to your body.
But hey, this is Gaf, so this will probably just fall on deaf ears.
It's amazing to me really... like american teens couldn't get any lazier, and be less competitive worldwide, they need the apathy Marijuana provides. The fact that gay marriage and marijuana legalization seem to be the height of young peoples political priorities just shows how unserious of a people the next generation of americans will be.

Dangerous THC levels? Lol
What is that? At what level do they become dangerous? What happens to the body at these "dangerous" levels?
Why even use that word?
Besides never having encountered an allergic reaction to weed, you know what else the ER doc (and the EMT who was also present) told me? They have never encountered a marijuana overdose. In fact, I think the words "not possible" were used. But I'll leave it at they'd never encountered one since I can't be 100% sure about the other statement.

I don't get your point. Are you saying these things should be illegal, as well? Or, that because they are legal and bad for you, all things that are bad for your health should be legal as well?

I guess you're just really on the lookout.Every time I've posted something like that it was either ignored to make way for more stories about how great using weed is and how old fashioned and ignorant people who are even a little bit concerned about that attitude are, or I've been ridiculed for it, outside of a couple of nice PM's from people who experienced something similar with themselves or a loved one. The fact that out of everything I posted you just decided to try and scare me with a possible ban because of something silly kind of proves my point.
