"My auntie is in her only little world literally without her daily anti-psyche injections, do you really think giving her a bong instead of those injections would help stabilize her thoughts, delusions, voices and paranoia? It's the stupidest thing i've ever heard."
I simply said that SOME STUDIES have shown that SOME patients have shown an actuall improvement im their cases. I'm not saying your bloody auntie should go and have a bong mate, your being ridiculous now.
"Marijuana use helping schizophrenia patients? Smoking marijuana helping people with lung cancer?"
YES mate. As a matter of fact is DOES help with lung cancer. Don't you think that if all these weed smokers were getting lung cancer and dropping like flys that the government/ Health board would be parading around sets of black lungs telling us how bad it is for your lungs. No... Not one set of black lungs. Not one case of lung cancer from sole cannabis use. And not ONE single DEATH from said substance...
How can something that has literally cause not ONE single death remain illegal. When cigerettes and alcohol kill more people annually then all other drugs combined.
For gods sake ASPRIN and COFFEE have killed more people...imagine that?
But...no. The government doesn't want you to think that. They would like you to believe all of their little pamphlets and PDF downloads they provide and all of their little television adds that seem to have the same message "DRUGS = TOILET - Your drugs are made here. Your weed is grown in DEADLY setups that could EXPLODE and kill YOU! WATCH OUT FOR pot growers, it IS DEADLY! Its 20x stronger...this isnt the weed of the sixties no more folks! This is a super hybrid drug! STREET DRUG!"
I despise fear mongering and scare tactics.
Which is exactly what they do and will continue to do unless more people are aware of REAL facts and stop spreading myths that are perpetuated by ignorant people.
I know you don't want to belive such wild claims as what i have stated. But i wouldnt be making them if i didnt believe it and KNOW that it was all correct. I feel very strongly about the topic..
I CAN provide back up for all my claims as well. But i implore you to do your OWN resaerch into the matter as there is nothing like finding the information yourself..then you only have to distrust your eyes and not my words.
:-D have at it hoss.
Man i'm a weed smoker myself, i know all of what you're claiming, but i take all these research claims with a grain of salt. Some studies have shown that some people have benefits to their mental state through weed use, i call bullshit on that. And i'm talking skitzophrenics obviously, not trying to change the debate.
Also i beleive that burning any matter is going to produce carcenogens, be it tobacco, meat, bread or weed. But consuming carcenogens dosnt just equate to cancer, i beleive that has alot to do with ones diet, but thats for another debate.
But weed HAS been shown to reduce the size of cancerous tumours, but i dont beleive burning weed and inhaling the smoke is the way to treat people with lung cancer. Eating it however(or some other kind of non smoke lung delivery method) would have huge benefits for the person, for obvious reasons apetite ect. I just thought it is stupid to beleive smoke a plant is going to help someone with LUNG cancer.
As for cannabis alone causing cancer, a multitude of everyday shit we consume contains carcenogens, but like i was saying earlier, i beleive it comes down to ones diet, or maybe even perhaps genetic susceptibility, as we all know seemingly perfect people who appear to do the right thing by themselves on a daily basis for years develop heart conditions, strokes, cancer ect. So in short, obviously burnt weed contains carcenogens, but thats not the issue.
And i admit that stupid article is mad sensationalism. I've never known anyone to go to the hospital for cannabis dependency, its almost like someone showing up in the ER because they havn't smoked a ciggarette in 24 hours. The bit about cannabis intoxication is even fucking stupider, not even going to comment on that.
But mental problems albiet psychosis is a bit of an exaggeration, is a mad real potential result of consuming weed on a daily basis. I beleive mostly when people start using it before their brains have finally developed.
But yeah, basically my point is that cannabis isnt some deadly hardcore substance, but it does require a degree of respect for what it could potentially do to your mind.
Doing weed daily isn't healthy, and isnt beneficial to your life, when you look at the bigger picture. But in saying that i dont agree with it, or honestly any drug being illegal.
Alot of the shit that goes down, negative consequences and what have you is a direct result of, or exaggerated by prohibiting drug use, which we all know is one thousand percent inevitable anyway.
When you realise the fact that however many decades of fighting recreational(well all use really) drug use hasn't resulted in lower rates of drug use, but has just created a situation where people who arent bad are stigmatised for doing something that alot of the time isnt harming anyone but themselves, you start to think well is creating a thriving unregulated black market benefitting society? My answer is no, obviously not. And drug users arent bad people, almost every single person uses drugs, and those who dont are trying to make a neuron fire some other way.
So no matter how dangerous drugs are, i beleive they all should be legalised, regulated and taxed, with the resulting revenue pumped back into healthcare and whatever else would benefit society. I'm sick of this culture of people thinking everything that isn't 100% without risk of injury or whatever should be banned due to healthcare concerns and shit. Thats what hospitals are there for, and would you people also like to see every extreme sport, every little dangerous thing banned? What a stupid fucking society that would be. People have the right to do whatever drugs they chose so long as they're doing it in a responsible manner.
But the reality and bigger picture of my little dream is stopped in its tracks by the fucked up reality of our society. We live in a society that is 100% controlled by money, where a select few rule and live in luxary at the expense of the rest of the human population.
People have forgotten that the government is not societies parent, but a representitive of society. People are too fucking soft to stand up to the government and tell them to fuck off out of our lives.
The people in power do not have our best interests at heart, they're not acting as a representitive of our society. They're fucking us in the ass while being paid off by pharma companies, tobacco, car, logging you name it.
We're being completely fucked in the ass. Who here really beleives the governments of the world(and its not just australia, do your research), want to put an end to internet neutrality and create a list of restricted websites, that we're not allowed to know about, who buys into the save the children bullshit? It's all about supressing information from the society they're sposed to be representing. We rule the government, not the other way around, we pay them. It will create a system where the government and pick and choose whatever information they want supressed from the public. And that is because the internet is the final frontier for independant media, and news that is free of propaganda.
Then when you look into the economic system, fractional reserve banking and what have you, you start to realise just how badly the average person, and our society as a whole is being fucked in the ass.
What it comes down to is greed, things that truely benefit society as a whole, arent profitable to those at the top, and dont help them control us like the sheep we truely are. Any amazing idea that would benefit mankind, without costing mankind is stopped in its tracks by those at the top. And thats fact.
These people at the top, who arent the government, but who pay the government off ect, cannabis very much directly is in conflict with their best interests. Here you have a plant with a multitude medicinal and industrial uses, arguably the most versitile plant to exist on our planet, yet it can be quite easily cultivated by individuals for personal use, and the medicine and industrial products would be less profiting to those at the top.
The influence those at the top have over society is huge, to the point, we're actually beleiving the lies that we've been taught for hundreds of years.
So in summary; weed isn't a harmless wonder drug, but it's potential dangers are exaggerated for reasons i stated above, whether people actually buy into the lies or are acting in direct favour of keeping the status quo for those at the top to prosper at our expense. It has very real risks to it's use, but in saying that it could be of insanely huge benefit to our society if implemented in the right fasion.
The whole of above is my beleif and opinion reguarding the big corporations, drug prohibition, society and government. I love weed and consume the shit on a daily basis since i was 14 years old, but i'm not deluding myself about it's reality.
End painful rant, cheers for reading i know it must have been an effort../
