amsterdam is heaven! think i need to move there goin 2/3 times a year isnt enough! and is that coffie shop homegrown???? i think it is lmao been there to many time ha ha or maybe not enough lmfao
@lawlmann caffeine also comes from a plant originally, nicotine is originally from a plant, what else? i'm getting angry reading this bullshit so i'm going to STFU, next time... get your facts straight and learn to type more correctly, it helps.
@lawlmann angry issue's that day never mind, but caffeine for example, you harvest the coffee plant, you somehow process it you put it in your coffeemachine and voila you got yourself a cup with at least 25mg caffeine in it. no added anything. same with nicotine right? and sorry for the last comment, could fill a book by explaining that so i just apologize and hope you just don't mind it xD. sounds epic but i just quit smoking weed 2 days now hehe. (near 'maastricht' in netherland ;) ).
Nicotine comes from the tobacco plant, Caffeine exists in the beans of the Coffea arabica plant, much like THC and other cannabinoids exist in the flowers of cannabis. Alcohol is "Synthesized" by certain species of fungi.
I hate the "It's just a plant" argument, now excuse me while i go smoke some dank.
@lzcracker nicotine also has about 4000 added chemicals to make it reach the brain faster, and to be more potent and addictive.. I cant make the same argument for caffeine, as it originates from the coffee beans.
Im not even trying to compare cannabis to alcohol, and dont intend to try. Alcohol is toxic, deadly, and addictive.
The concept of "drugs" has to be rethought: it is totally unscientific and borne out of the prohibition era. I mean the term jams together substances that have nothing in common, from manufacture to effects. Some "Drugs" are less toxic than a cold medication, and alcohol and cigarettes are somehow excluded from the category!
Aside from that, making marijuana illegal makes no sense from any conceivable viewpoint. Really the people who want it illegal are either misinformed or hypocrites.
@desire4liberation people with endocannabinoid deficency may find not easy unlearn what they learned because the endocannabinoid system, as well as the plant, regulates open mindedness. what is open mindedness? it's the ability to take in newer, better information. smoking cannabis would help them.
@desire4liberation i'm still looking for someone telling me more about this, that was a quote but it totally made sense to me (cannabinoids are involved in forgetting). i tried to send an email to bob melamede but he hasnt replied yet, as i'll know something sure about that you'll be the first one i'll tell.
and since he's a ph.d and a director of a biology department i assume he's not speaking out his ass.
@ragazzaimpaurita86 The answers for that are out there in my opinion- half a dozen stress hormones are released in the hippocampus under marijuana. None of them are degenerative, infact they directly cause neurogenesis of the hippocampus. All this activity seems to effect the normal processes going on by reducing the ability to retain short term memory and convert that into long term while high.
PTSD is a classic example of bad stress hormones destroying the hippocampus, marijuana reverses it
@ragazzaimpaurita86 Also keep in mind the source of stress signals to the hippocampus is the amygdala, which also becomes active. This is a major source of anxiety and implacable paranoia- the rest comes from our law system lol. Long term marijuana users very infrequently get that, most likely because as my last post points the system which handles these fear and stress signals is restored to a healthy size and density.
@EgadsNo Thanks, didn't know this. You know, just a month ago i spent a week in a hospital because of an LSD trip gone horribly wrong and i wanna start to smoke again, but very very slowly, and i'm happy someone tells me how good cannabis is :)
@surferlivh Yes, show me studies "proving" this link (which by the way was first established in a court, not in a lab) and I will show you studies disproving it. Most recently a British study showing increase in marijuana smoke in the UK since the '90s with no increase in schizophrenia.
@DonVoghano Apart from the fact that I have had personal experience of this with a family member, and have attended numerous lectures regarding this topic, there are studies to show that cannabis use can be a precursor to developing Schizophrenia in patients who have a history of mental disorders. This is the latest one, published in the BMJ, which shows that cannabis use led to a 2-3 fold increased risk of psychosis
@DonVoghano Also - the chances of me replying to the next comment (if you reply) are low since I don't receive e-mail notifications and I'm only on this video for revision purposes - after my exams are over, I won't be looking back!
@DonVoghano Just one more point - in the degree that I am doing - Medical Pharmacology, Alcohol and Nicotine ARE considered as drugs - I'm not disagreeing with you on anything here, I'm simply stating the fact.
@surferlivh And I certainly am not referring to pharmacology, where one well hopes that nicotine and alcohol would be considered drugs - despite the fact that the term maintains a vague connotation even in dictionaries. What I mean is the "drugs are bad" pop lingo that translates into policies which are NOT scientific and do not include alcohol and tobacco. As a pharmacologist aren't you suspicious when you see opiates are allowed free and liberal therapeutic use whereas cannabinoids struggle?

This changes How people think of cannibus..
I believe that cannibus cant be a drug... Drugs are MADE Not Grown..
Caffiene is a drug.. Nicotine is a drug, Alcohol is a drug.. Cannibus is a miracle plant put on this planet for us and by god..

@stanfosi My facts are straight. I would think a fellow stoner would be on-board with what I'm saying.
Why are you getting so angry? Caffeine also has synthetic chemicals added into it, So does Nicotine..
I'm not saying that Opium is harmless, even though it originates from the Poppy plant.

what interest's me...
is how people accept something that can very easily kill them as long as it is "legal"
and if pot was "legal" it would then be okay...
like when do people actually use their brains and think? instead of having to be told....
great comment Don...thanks

@ragazzaimpaurita86 do you think it has anything to do with the pituitary? and do you think flouride has caused the blocking you speak of?
