Cannabis: Do you smoke it? Should it be legalized?

Quote:

Dopamine is a chemical that effects pleasure, motivation, and movement in your life. Doing drugs such as pot and cocaine cause less and less dopemine to be produced. This will cause you to not enjoy your life and everyday pleasures like you once used to. It can also cause Parkinson's disease.

that is the biggest load of ****ing bullshit ive ever heard in my life, yes pot releases dopamine, it releases THC in your bloodstream which blocks certain receptors in your brain. you have anandamides in your brain already, when ppl say you naturally have cannibinoids in your body, this is what they are talking about. they block certain receptors to. THC is a different shape as anandamides, which causes the dopamine that is released to be received differently. i smoke a bong load pretty much every day, and i can honestly say that i have enjoyed things while stoned WAY more than while sober....as far as i know, there is no connection between weed and parkinsons disease, more than likely thats a government lie

Agreed. The real reason why cannabis is not legal because its considered a gateway drug. i agree to that too because i have had a bunch of friends ere who started out having some fun and then started getting into the nasty shit. never actually drank and never touched a cig or smoked pot.

no, the real reason its not legal is that the government cant tax it, its to easy to grow, if it was legal, everyone would grow and the government would make $0. however, right now, as it is, potheads are getting busted every day and having to pay fines, court costs etc, causing money to flow into the economy.

And I are not a pothead.

I smoked weed from the age of 12 to 16. I'm 30 now and haven't touched the stuff since then.

I gave up when I had a complete nervous breakdown and went a little crazy for a while with paranoid delusions, depression and so on. You can believe that smoking ganj had nothing to do with it if it makes you all feel better, it's no skin off my nose.

I know plenty of people that take it, and don't seem to have a problem. Equally, I know a few who lost their minds when they got into it and will never be able to function in life. I guess it depends on the person.

My advice would be, as soon as you don't enjoy it, even for a second: drop it like it's hot.

nahh, that was pretty much facts..

My friends went

Marijuana >> Coacaine >> Ecstasy

So i think its a gateway drug because they even admitted they wanted more and stuff

but now they just smoke lots of pot and they found alcohol

BUT DONT SMOKE KIDS! :)

i get high on life instead yo

everyone that says they have had some bad experiences with weed, more than likely also has chronic depression/schizophrenia in their family tree
