I really don't see how this was a dumb thing to say? Isn't it more intelligent then saying marijuana is a drug, and that it causes brain damage, and cancer .... Dumbass Letterman, look at those teeth, tell me it wasn't a REAL DRUG that caused them to be so far apart.
Mary juana doesn't seem to be a drug....it's made into one when someone chooses to do so. Poop isn't a food, but dogs, in all their wisdom, seem to make it a part of their diet.
I would love to have it legalized but guys, come on you can't deny its' side effects. I mean my brother failed all his classes when he constantly used it. However I think thats its great in moderation (just like chocolate and sex)
@lnevitableCha0s You don't understand my brothers a really smart kid, before eighth grade he was a high honors student. Then he got bad friends and started smoking pot. Saying that would be like calling my brother stupid, and he's not. Sure marijuana is not really a drug, but it's still a step-drug and a bad choice for children. Only adults should be able to use it, IF it's ever legal.
@FreemanLambda I have a 3.75 GPA as a Computer Science major in college, I smoke pot responsibly and it doesn't affect my studies at all. Ya maybe if I was getting high every single day and during finals it would...but otherwise no.
Marijuana IS a drug by definition. So is Advil, cough syrup, Tylenol, Viagra etc.... and That is the category marijuana belongs in.... not fucking Cocaine, XTC, Meth, Heroine.... Marijuana makes me high... Viagra gives guys a boner and makes people want to fuck. If smoking Marijuana is dangerous then Viagra makes you a rapest.... This is the reasoning of our government.... I just drew it out in crayon for you viewers to see. LEGALIZE WEED!
letterman is an a-hole. left or right.. we all know he is a hard core lib..if i was Arnold..i would not go on his show anymore.....Duh. alcohol..kills people..every second of the day.. but POT..? AND I AM NOT A FAN OF IT.. just saying.
Cant we all agree that if sugar and caffeine are drugs, marijuana is too?
THEN AGAIN caffeine is a powerful stimulant, which can kill you if you have too much. It has heavy effects on the body even at moderate doses (cardio-related things especially). So, there is no denying that caffeine is a drug. I think just because MJ binds to anandamide receptors and does its mildly psychedelic "thing", it must be a drug, but one with a built-in safety device (the ceiling effect)
Of course it is technically a drug. Its just that, compared to "real drugs", meaning anything, from psilocybin (mushrooms) to oxycodone to cocaine to heroin to mdma to ketamine to salvia to 4-aco-dmt to alcohol and everything else in between...
THE POINT being that compared to all these other substances, marijuana is a joke. Its safety margin is so high that comparing it to other drugs, especially alcohol, is just ridiculous, because it cant cause that level of harm.
I have a hard time calling it a drug when its not manufactured or altered. Its like if I go outside, cut a rose off my rose bushes and smoke it. just because it alters consciousness doesnt mean its a drug. for fuck sake, turning on a strobe light alters consciousness
i know peple are dumb idiots...because it's a pleasure mechanism...they have to somehow twist the media into thinking this really is a drug..when it's a god given plant with some hramless but beautifull side effects to it..
canabis plant uses the THC molecule as (particularly the female canabis plant) sunblock to protect the delicate plant matter know as buds.The male variety does (hemp) not produce canabis as the male plant is stronger than the female and does not require as much protection from the sunTHC is basically SUNBLOCK and if we just so happen to inhale this burning plant matter it makes you feel a little different and relaxed for a couple hours.Drug is a societal term that has no place in nature
yo arnold is sick man, hurtin how people are hating on him just cuz hes from another country n all these ppl jus wannna look like arnold did when he was younger but they aint pullin it, thats why everyones hating on the terminator, str8 up jealousy
Marijuana is a vegetable you should be able to grow in your garden like a tomato and without any government regulation at all...
Register with the government as users, give the control of production to the big corporations so they can control the price and give the government hacks who bankrupted the country more taxes? EPIC FAIL...
@AeonBlueApocalypse Look up the definition of drug: Any substance with mind altering effects. There is no doubt that marijuana is a drug. It may also be a plant, but then, so is Opium, Heroin is mostly natural too.
You can debate whether or not marijuana is "bad" or not, but there is no question that it is a drug.
@AeonBlueApocalypse The problem is that there's no real definition of "drug." There are plants far more psychoactive than marijuana out there, and any definition of "drug" that excludes marijuana on that basis (rather than the fact that, y'know, it's all but harmless) also excludes them. Just because something's natural doesn't make it better - in fact, more often than not, it makes it worse. It's just that we're more conscious of newer dangers.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
You people are all so stupid, nothing should be legalized that affects your body and brain in a negative way and imapirs your judgment aswell as other medical issues. It SHOULD NOT be legalized, it along with cigarattes should be illegal.
Too bad weed doesn't impair your judgment or cause any medical issues. And it shouldn't really be the governments job to decide what we want to put into our bodies. It's crossing the line into personal freedoms.
It doesn't kill brain cells, that was false. Read up on all the RECENT medical reports that are getting out. Some from harvard studies. It also reduces the risk of diffrent kind of tumors and cancers. So read up on your stuff before you talk from your ass because I know what I'm talking. And the government should legalize the drugs that don't do major harm. Did you know pharmacy drugs kills more people than any street drug? It's not the governments place to tell us what we cant put in our body
"First of all it does as well as it kills brain cells..."
There have been many studies on how THC physically affects the brain and most show no effect. The one big exception that forms the basis for the claim that it kills braincells, was conducted by Dr.Robert heath (under the Reagan administration) in which monkeys inhaled marijuana smoke via a gasmask with no oxygen supply for 5 minutes straight. Well, guess what... oxygen deprivation AKA suffocation KILLS BRAINCELLS
hey i believe natural occurring mind altering substances are here for a reason, mabye there a way to show us hopw to get along or how to love in this little journey called life, i do not think synthetic drugs are good for you but there has never been a death from natural occurring illegal substance such as cannabis, mushrooms
If affects the brain from remembering key processess in young adults:<16. Uk program demonstrates this point. And since its a cool image children have of doing this then the ppl glamourising this should be fucking shot,..
first off that is not true the first statement you made, second roughly 90% of adults 21 and older have tried marijuana should they be shot and if youre life is ruined because of marijuana thats just an excuse if you say your life has been ruined by marijuna your just saying that cuz ur to fucking dumb tou realize that you ruined your life and what gives you the right to tell someone what they can or cant put in there body if they arnt harming any one
Well that depends if the person taking the drugs happens to involve innocent ppl. Driving under the influence, starting fights, wtc. Need i go on. You put my life in jeopardy cos your sick and want some stress relief. go down to the fucking gym...or get a life...
The point of marijuana is to put my ADHD under control, it get it perscribed LEGALLY from a doctor and sinc i have been taking it my marks went up 10-20%, omg it must be so bad for youre memory... DUMBASS
LoL your a fucking idiot...ive seen many studies of people smoking and driving you drive better because your more cautionit...and you dont EVER start fights when you are high...unless the other person starts it or they did something to you
I know this little point you raise. It is down to the individual as well. Take jack Nicholsohn for example - total idiot thinking he is all so great...
Well let me se your lungs then...if they are in order
I am. I have Aspergers. you said just because ppl drive cautious you won'tl be better - i agree. But after you said just because u take drugs you won't start a fight. Each person reacts differently to drugs. My point. your contradiction :)
Thank you for proving my point you are autistic....Weed does not make Anyone start fights because its the same effect on every person unless they are handicaped in the head like you...and another reson you are autistic is because you keep on saying cannibis is a drug when its a plant you moron...keep on saying that a creation of God is bad and wrong...that makes you look like a full fleged retard
children under 16 whose brain is still develiping is affected by weed....this is proven by research. it does not affect the older person. It affects the function of the individual, the same as drink. Thats why you get locked up...i kno, i was not being specific in listing the drugs ..i do know about drugs...
Weed does not make everyone relaxed. You have heard of par-a-noi-a. I'm not the one firing insults.
You have the knowledge to diagnose but you don't have the sense to look after your body. There is such a thing as balance which you clearly don't have....

It's obviously a drug but it's not a very *harmful* drug.
Cigarettes and alcohol arguably do much more damage, I find it absurd these are so common and sold everywhere while marijuana is still illegal.
