[QUOTE]smoking pot isn't gonna make your life better period.
stop it.
I think your wrong.Matter of fact,I know your wrong
What about people who use it for medical reasons?
There is such a thing as medicinal marijuana and it does help people.My grampa is in his 70's and got cancer and had to undergo chemo and now he smoked medicinal pot on a regular basis to stop the pain.
People use it for all sorts of reasons...
Cannabinoids -- the active components of Cannabis sativa and their derivatives -- exert palliative effects in cancer patients by preventing nausea, vomiting and pain and by stimulating appetite. In addition, these compounds have been shown to inhibit the growth of tumour cells in culture and animal models by modulating key cell-signalling pathways. Cannabinoids are usually well tolerated, and do not produce the generalized toxic effects of conventional chemotherapies
Thirty percent to 40% of patients with bipolar disorder are not consistently helped by or cannot tolerate standard medications. In the course of the authors' studies of the medical uses of cannabis (Grinspoon & Bakalar 1997), a number of sufferers were discovered who believed marihuana to be more effective than conventional anti-manic drugs, or who used it to relieve the side effects of lithium."
A surprising number of people so afflicted [with bi-polar disorder] have independently made the discovery that cannabis has improved their conditions, whether the mania or depression. It may also reduce side effects of other drugs used in its treatment, such as Lithium, Carbamazepine (Tegretol) or Valproate (Depakote).
Marijuana can be a very good thing for some people.
When Im really really stressed out and cant calm down or get rid of anxiety,Ill go and smoke some cuz it helps.
Care to change your mind on the subject?
