Hey there,

So as a patient in an out-patient program where I'm being drug tested on a regular basis for 9 weeks,
I am now motivated to put together a series of educational videos to teach people based on scientific
research and personal (on a wide scale) experimentation...

THAT WEED CAN BE USED BENEFICIALLY IN MODERATION!

My drug counselor is telling me that it's bad to want to get high. WTF? I like getting high once in a
while! Anyway, my point is this: it's time for the world to view "blanket anti-marijuana statements"
as childish as the early 1900's propaganda.

So, who's with me? Who can help put together essentially a list of "one liners" explaining why weed
is good? Not just by itself, but also in comparison with alcohol and tobacco!

We need some sort of resource that when my drug counselor says, hey, you should never smoke
marijuana, I can go:

- it stimulates my appetite, which is good
- it stimulates my creativity, and i've had some of my most major business breakthroughs on weed
- it alleviates boredom. instead of drinking or wasting time "bored", i can smoke weed and be more productive just sitting there THINKING, or READING
- it gives me insight from a perspective i would never see
- when used in moderation (ie: 2-3 times per week, only at night) it gets you SUPER high and thus, is an "anti-drug" against harder chemicals
- it's actually PRESCRIBED as a medicine, whereas alcohol and tobacco (which they are OK with) are totally destructive. also you can't vape alcohol or tobacco, you are forced to consume it in a dangerous manner.
- etc. etc.

so, I'm looking for maybe 2-3 one liners (at LEAST!) from each person that READS THIS THREAD! Please reply and give
me 2-3 one liners supporting marijuana use! If this has already been done let's make a megathread! lol (:

cheah.

Lol this is a great idea! All I got is this,

"A drunk and a stoner, same car same place. The drunk blows threw the stop sign, while the stoner sits at the stop sign waiting for it to turn green...(LMFAO! XD) Which would you rather be?"

I forget who told me this one, maybe my dad. I think it's more funny than serious but, it does tell the true nature of both drugs. While alcohol makes you a dumb over confident asshole, weed makes you a patient idiot. Well the idiot part is debatable becuase only some stains really make me dumb lol. Hope this helps.
 
I agree with you, nothing wrong with getting high occasionally. Only a seriously closed-minded individual would have a problem with expanding the mind once in a while. Perhaps you should request a new drug counsellor.

- weed is a strong good sexual feeling kind of drug. It is an aphrodisiac for many, a non-aggressive type.

- its chemical properties: analgesic, antidepressant, antibiotic, antioxidant, aniolitic, anti-inflammatory,antiviral, immune potentiator, antipsychotic, etc. MANY people use this drug for healing purposes of many ailments.

- its a weed. Its natural. Show me all the other similar medical-doctor-prescribed medications. This is also another reason most Drs don’t like it, they ain’t getting any money from it.
 
You'll always get puritans that never want you to have any fun with chemicals (bar alcohol possibly). It's human nature though. Why do children spin around constantly on purpose until they get dizzy? Why do people go on roller coasters? Why do people skydive? Why do people eat dangerously spicy food? Why do people seek love? It's because we as humans have an innate desire to alter our consciousness.
 
this has already been done as you stated, I just gotta find the mega thread. Also, you're consolor probably doesn't want you getting high because they wrongly attribute any high to abuse or potential to abuse your DOC/problem. It is true that being around drugs invites the possibilities of other drugs, though.
 
Professional always hate hearing the most of the founding father of our country had plantations of both tobacco and marijuana. Not only growing but smoking it too. It is known to historians that weed has been used medicinally all over the world for thousands and thousands of years.
 
^ farms grew cannabis because it works as an irragation system - I've seen it done in the south and in other countries personally. They plant along side their crops like a natural fence to direct where water flows and does not flow. The seeds are used for cooking, frying with spices, or replanting. The flower itself doesn't grow much THC beyond what helps repel airborn insects, and they actually TRIM the plant down and use the stalks. At least, thats how it was back then, and how it is with people who grow the plant now against their agriculture. I'm sure there are other cases, but this is my understanding of why cannabis was used from a farming standpoint.
 
Only beneficial things for me are that it gets me fucking horny, relaxes me at the gym and it alleviates boredom. Pretty much everything else is negative, including it fucking up my eating and sleeping schedules.

I wouldn't really say it's a weed, the only marijuana I've seen growing was meant to be there, as in it was meant to be cultivated. Also, the reason most doctors use synthetic drugs rather than plants for medicine is because it is much easier to create a drug with drug X in it at Y dose, then it would be to find a plant containing the drug, find out how to remove all the other drugs from the plant, and then find out how much to dose.

It's much more about practicality than money.

I lived in the central midwest for a few years & you would'nt believe what the (weed) hemp looks like, Sept - Nov. -15 foot high bushy plants w/ 2 foot long purple buds, smelling like some of the best dank you've ever smoked- seedier than the worst Mexican weed you've ever seen. But not worth a smoke, as you'll just end up w/ one killer headache. They started growing it during WW2 for the extraordinarily rope strength that the branches/stalk produce, plus the oil, until Texas found out how superb it is compared to crude oil (didnt last long) The Gov. spent 100s of 1000s of hours & money trying to eradicate this (miricle) weed to no avail. It is still the hardiest weed on the planet

Imagine this:

You walk into a bar and for whatever reason decide to try and convince every person sitting on a bar-stool to stop drinking and to stop buying drinks.

You are selling to the wrong crowd my friend, take it from me, I've been to over 4 rehabs. They use the "disease" concept in 90% of rehabs, which I am assuming your rehab uses. And marijuana is considered to contribute negatively to the disease of addiction.

There is no use to try and convince these people. They will not believe. Their job is to get you to STOP smoking marijuana, so the only people you will be convincing that pot is "okay and safe" are the in/out-patients themselves.


In my opinion, there is no use to convincing these people; they are just as convicted to keeping their patients off of cannabis as you are in convincing people that it is beneficial. Benefits or not, they will dismiss the information you give them and play-back their own information.

If you think there are benefits to marijuana, might as well preach to a different crowd. I know that one point in my addiction I lied, stole, became a recluse/hermit, all from measly weed. Some people in those rooms are seriously addicted. Sry, dont mean to sound cold , just observing from experience.
 
there were 500,000 people at woodstock for 3 days and 2 people died(from non marijuana related reasons) and there were none wounded imagine how different this statistic would be if even 50 percent of these people were drinkers
 
don't want to be a downer but i am getting out of treatment in 11 or so days and i fought the whole way and i haven't used in seven months because i argued the whole way i know its super hard but if you want to get high again just put up with there shit
 
also the fouding fathers were stoners man and many cartoon characters have been created that are huge ass stoners such as yogi bear,shaggy,scooby doobey doo,the count,cookie monster,etc
 
I was diagnosed with epilepsy.and i can control my seizures with thc.such as pull myself from a convulsive state.

I've heard of Marijuana being used in epilepsy, however they use medicinal marijuana with very little THC content and don't smoke a lot/everyday as THC/smoking a lot actually causes seizures (in epileptics).

I lived in the central midwest for a few years & you would'nt believe what the (weed) hemp looks like, Sept - Nov. -15 foot high bushy plants w/ 2 foot long purple buds, smelling like some of the best dank you've ever smoked- seedier than the worst Mexican weed you've ever seen.

Marijuana which is used for hemp and marijuana which is used for smoking are fairly different plants though. Hemp has very little THC, so all you would end up with is a headache. The marijuana which we smoke is not a weed.
 
I read lots of good stuff on it but what im tempted to add is its potential for mass Spiritual healing and such. where i come from they use plant medicine and this is one of it. if you think of it people say weed is a semi-psychedelic thats true, when used properly it can do more than make bored stuff fun such as change the way you live and do things for the better. almost like a shroom 'trip' but not in there for "many hours".
 
Stoned is my happy place and just the thought of being stoned again stopped me contemplating suicide when I was 19.
