"these findings dont give marijuana a clean bill of health,' Block said"

um yeah okay..seriously?

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/12/071217110328.htm OH another little tidbit I found, that proves marijuana isnt a clean bill of health

and yes, I'll agree I'm terrible with arguments, I always lose in class so you can feel superior over me as much as you want, its not saying much though. haha yeah. <-- just because I felt like it. And learn a little chivalry wont you?

ok marijuana smoke is bad for you; i never argued that it wasn't. any kind of smoke is not good for you

and maybe you do win your arguments in class, and maybe you don't, i don't care. you are obviously outmatched with me but i think that has already been proven considering the nature of this conversation. the only person i think who is about on the same intelligence level as myself is PTZ even if i have an extreme distaste for him. judging by the test scores that he produced i'm going to say he is probably a pretty intelligent guy. i understand that all of this sounds extremely narcissistic, and if you need to go look that up please do, but its simply the truth.

and chivalry has no place when the person you are speaking to is too ignorant to comprehend it. and yes i do mean ignorant because you have obviously been corrupted by adults who tell you things with no basis in fact.

rawbeginner was smart wasn't he?

:O

I'm not ignorant, I just don’t like you. I have no problem with marijuana (but I am smart enough to stay away from it) I'm actually for legalizing it and all that great stuff. Contrary to what you may think I don’t let adults or random people over the internet influence my views on topics like this.

I'm not an unintelligent person and yes, you are pretty egotistical. At least we can agree on something

If people want to smoke that is fine, it might be somewhat dangerous, but smoking can help people relax, and maybe it gives them something that they aren't getting elsewhere. I know when I go on my breaks I really wish I could light one up, but I choose not to, and I respect a persons right to choose to.

YOU LIBERALS SHOULD TRY TO BE MORE ACCEPTING OF PEOPLE'S DIFFERENCES.

Does the word cancer mean anything to you. What about second hand smoke. What about an overburden on the health care system. What about the money wasted on cigarettes. (I would put a question mark on the end of those sentences but my QM button is messed up)

You have no idea what you are talking about. Just STFU

You're not impressing anyone, your just making yourself sound like a prick.

I can't believe I didn't realize this guy was JogMeHard.

As far as the whole smoking thing goes, I just make it a point not to put anything burning in my mouth. I prefer injecting endorphins straight into my jugular. I find all of my needles washed up on the beach, but I make sure to wash them with tepid water and Dove soap. I should be OK.

Sour worms that PTZ is the only person on this board who is as smart as he is (I highly doubt this, but we'll never be able to prove it), but Sadie was bringing up Rawbeginner and his 2400 SAT.

He doesnt even know my test scores!! haha so how could he even assume that I'm dumb?
but I'm only a sophomore so I dont have test scores anyways...but still

Fact: Marijuana produces immediate, temporary changes in thoughts, perceptions, and information processing. The cognitive process most clearly affected by marijuana is short-term memory. In laboratory studies, subjects under the influence of marijuana have no trouble remembering things they learned previously. However, they display diminished capacity to learn and recall new information. This diminishment only lasts for the duration of the intoxication. There is no convincing evidence that heavy long-term marijuana use permanently impairs memory or other cognitive functions.

I would say that bold statement is the biggest problem with marijuana. Coupled with the (minimal) lung damage, this makes it into a dangerous drug. People do overstate the dangers of marijuana, but using it isn't without its risks.

And Sour Worms, there is a big difference between being unintelligent and being misinformed. Intelligence is about what you do with the information you have.

I also think all of these scientific studies need to be taken with a grain of salt (both pro- and anti-marifuana). Scientific evidence can be spun to support a huge number of half-truths.

that's what i was saying though. and luckily you can understand the point i was trying to make. although it is obviously not safe, it can be argued that marijuana is in a way safer than cigarettes

We would have had the same points [before this argument started] but I don’t like agreeing with people I dislike.

I understood your point!! grrrr I'm done.

haha pinthin.

Oh. PTZ is not crazy smart, there was also that person on RW that got a 5 on the AP Chem test.

I don't really care if people want to pollute their own bodies and give themselves cancer... I just feel vaguely sorry for them that they're addicted to it.... What I do care about is when they pollute themselves around me, because then I have to breath in their second hand smoke and choke and gag and think of all their carcinogens entering MY lungs. So go ahead and smoke all you want in your house, just dont do it around me. Especially when I'm running!!!!! and also don't leave your butts around. That's gross, and its littering.

marijuana isn't addictive so it's better

He's not annoying. He's just brutally honest. I used to smoke back when I was a freshman because alot of my friends were doing it. It wasn't much maybe 2-3 cigarettes but that was it. Its does help take alot of stress and it made me look cool back then. Now that I think about it I feel like like one of those nerdy kids from the 90's. idk why

you mean those nerdy kids that have tons of money

yes sir.
