Talk about getting your panties all twisted, guys. Way to go! Sheesh. Self-righteous indignation is not attractive. I hate people that are so quick to judge. So it's not your cup of tea, fine. Keep the lectures, generalizations and insults to yourselves. Plenty of other vapid and fluffy threads to post in.

Thank you for sharing.

not even close

I'm sorry about your friend, but I'm pretty sure there was something wrong with him with or without THC.

saucy!

perhaps. but he was and honor roll college student. well on his way to becoming a professor of psychology. he had never had so much as a speeding ticket prior to this act. he was an "average normal guy" who got stoned, raped and beat my friend, went to rehab, by the time he got out of rehab he had in his head that he would be ok. got stoned again and did it again. she commited suacide just before the second trial. and ALL blood screens showed an absence of ANY drug or alcohol except THC.
wether there was something wrong with the guy or not is left to be seen, the thing is. aside from when he was stoned, he was a "perfect" guy.

huh

Different people have different brain chemisty, and there is no black and white rule for each of us. You may or may not have noticed that I have not criticized your use of the drug in any way. The main reason, simply put, is that you haven't expressed in any way that it has caused a problem for you. I have, however, met people who become complete buffoons after eating chocolate, of all things. And time after time, they continue to eat chocolate, and time after time, it gets them in trouble. I sh!t you not.

That is really a one in a million type of situation, izzie. I find it hard to believe that THC caused this guy to become a rapist, but maybe it just didn't agree with him. For the majority of people marijuana is a harmless recreational drug. I've never met an angry stoner. He must have had some sort of chemical imbalance or a split personality. Most psychopaths appear to be quite charming and intelligent. Look at Ted Bundy! He was good looking, educated, seemingly caring and he raped and murdered women in several states.

Sweety, I do NOT do any drugs. I smoke camel wide lights, about it there.

I'm sorry but I don't think it is a one in a million situation. It has happened to me too and another woman on this site, too.

true enough. but do you honestly know how a drug will affect you. in the immedieate or the long term? this is just one situation, and one EXTREME situation at that.. but honestly it COULD happen to anyone..

So what is Nicotine??


And Caffeine??

A mild stimulant, highly addictive. Quite naturally, I find it relaxing to smoke.



A water substitute, also relaxing. I never claimed to have a normal brain.

I got a question for the masses?

It is against the law for me to beat women, children, dogs, and my meat in public...

Those are forms of abuse except for the last one. That is just plain wrong.....

Now if I smoke a fattie of some bionic chronic why am I suddenly abusing drugs?

I ain't beating anybody with it. I certainly am not infringing on the rights of any plants am I?

I guess the only reason it is wrong is because some government official says it is wrong with so many religiously oriented people.

well...

aye yi yi...

once again... its a matter of opinion sugar.

some think its wrong some don't.

stir the koolaid all you want sugar you can't change the flavor. cherry is always cherry.

get it?

it ain't like the law stops people anyway.

My general opinion is that if pot was mass produced and marketed pure in pill form it probably would be no more dangerous (side effects) than other pain relievers includeing Ibuprofen or even acetameniphen. The Liver is a fairly fragile and vital organ so I am not for straining anything through it that isn't necessary.

Is pot addictive? I think the feeling that pot induces in the body; primarily reduction in inhibition and anxiety is so much preferable to the normal level that it easy to chose to be stoned but I have not seen anyone go through withdrawal not haveing it so I have my doubts.

Does pot make people violent? I think it is possible for any substance to make people have and allergic reaction and be violent in rare instances. I have seen the orange dye in carmel corn turn kids in rageing beasts.

Does pot incite the average user to have a desire to express violence through rape? No. I have not ever seen someone on only pot be violent. The esscence of violence is paranoia and directed movement. Generally speaking most people on pot have difficulting stringing ideas together.

I think if that desire for violence is already in the person; and pot only is ingested then the overall inhibition or fear that they have to get caught is lowered. If anything I think useing pot makes it harder for people to get and stay aroused to climax. The anger associated with that inability plus the reduction in inhibition could easily let aggression surface but I don't think it causes it.

Unfortuneately the availability of pure pot is very very rare. Even home grown pot can be poisoned with various herbicides or so called organic substances. Haveing had a spouse that worked in a lab that tested drugs I can tell you would be scared stiff if you knew some of the stuff that is put in street pot to amplify it's effects or even kill off the competition. The colors, especially the metallics, are extreamly toxic. Unfortuneately the people who are poisoned just dissappear to the morgue or what is truely sad is many years with cognitive problems, incontenence, and sometimes excruciateing spasticity in low quality group homes or skilled care. In real life the average drug user gets identified and gorked through the medical system with very little care. Since their families are more than glad to get rid of them there is no one to watch what happens to them.
