All of those have other medicinal options, still not necessary.

Yes they do, if you wanna be poppin pills, people rather take something that grows from the Earth than some newly discovered capsule with a drug surprise inside.

Have you seen someone have to pop more than 10 pills a day? It's fucked. They can probably eliminate half of those pills and replace it with chron.
Well each of those 10 pills has a job, marijuana can't have the same effectiveness simply because unlike pills it wasn't specifically made to do it's job.

It does have the same, or even better effectiveness, which is why people use medical cannabis.

As T0ribush alluded to, it's quite common for people to only be needing to take 2 or so pills but the side-effects of those pills need another pill to counteract them. Before you know it, you're eating 10 pills a day.

That's why people look to medical cannabis.

You're beating beating a dead horse with that line of argument.

Oh, also, back on to you Cow, when I woke up this morning I did some extra research on your smoking and stroke theory. The link I sent to you a few pages back where it said smoking contributed to half was talking about cigarette smoking, not marijuana.

Further research into the topic led me to this. Smoking marijuana heavily (2-7 OZ a week) increases the amount of a protein called apolipoprotein C3. This protein is a triglyceride. Now, if you have high levels of triglycerides in your body then your arteries tend to thicken. This means you're going to have increases chances of developing blood-flow related problems, like a stroke.

info-links: Triglycerides. ApoC3 and marijuana usage.

This effect only occurs oncethe triglycerides are at that very high level. As I mentioned, you'd have to be smoking incredibly heavily for that to occur. 2 ounces a week - at least! I stuggle to get through 1/8th of that, and I've actually never met anyone that cosumes bud at that unholy rate.

A quote I came across in my research,
We’re talking about the marijuana equivalent of the guy in the alley clutching a bottle of cheap wine. If you do anything to that level of excess, it might well have some untoward effects, whether it’s marijuana or wine or broccoli.

Overeating, drinking alcohol, and smoking tobacco are proven to have deleterious effects on the heart and on health. I doubt we’re going to see any major effort to arrest the users of those substances, though.

Marijuana comes side effects as well, although nobody cares because they like getting high, and it's a really big stretch of you to assume that people have ever, currently or ever will use marijuana properly. As long as those pills are making the person healthy what's there to complain about? Unless getting healthy wasn't the point. You also keep pointing out medicinal things when in fact there isn't an astounding amount of people that must have it, they just choose it and make excuses to get it. Excuses such as i don't like taking pills, it helps me relax etc. Do you even suffer from any of these illnesses or do you just like getting high?.

The only dead house that's being beaten here is your constant habit of turning a blind eye to any other treatment besides weed, trying to make it seem necessary and more effective than specifically created products.

This is the last time I'm going to explain it to you, okay? Seriously man, c'mon.

My argument is that, in a fair amount of cases, the pills aren't making the person healthy. That's why it's important to have alternatives like marijuana et al. around.
Will they just legalize it and tax it? Jeez man it's not that hard and nothing will change.

I know i wish you would just listen, nobody uses marijuana appropriately or we wouldn't be having this conversation now. The side effects in pills don't even apply all the time so just saying that i don't like taking pills because of possible side effects is just another excuse. Besides if the pills didn't do their job they wouldn't exist so that's invalid to say that they wouldn't make someone healthy, and even in the situation that someone is allergic or whatever the case there are alternate and generic versions of most every man made drug. So in order for weed to be the only choice they would have to make up some excuses as to why they couldn't take up to probably around 3 or 4 other medicines or treatment methods.

It's like all your doing is trying to find a way for weed to be necessary in any way but besides few very specific medical cases it's not. If it were as beneficial as your arguing it to be it would have a way bigger role than what it has now. Marijuana is only important to consider it relevant and cling to it.

P.s teenagers are already bad enough without weed, they don't need more reasons to be worse then they already are.

Everything you say is automatically incorrect due to the above quote existing.


Also, this thread has become pretty redundant, and turned into a "it's this!" "no it's this!" type argument. No one has anything new to say, so we might as well kill it.

I agree, it is also getting a tad heated. Everyone is basically disagreeing with eachother and arguing.
