Keep up the good work spreading the word. You are getting better with your videos. Your transition statements could use a little work. I will continue to spread the word also. Cannabis not only doesn't cause cancer .....it cures cancer. How can any of you "think about the children people" argue with that! It kills cancer cells and has never taken a life. My lord people.. spread the word.
@Trevelyansway Duly noted about the transition statements. THC kills the cancer cells while leaving the healthy cells alone. That much is due to our healthy cells having a vast kinase checkpoint system that prevents THC-induced ceramide. The kinase phosphatidylionsitol B pathway, according to the Biological Chemistry Journal 2002, is specifically responsible for preventing THC-induced ceramide accumulation. In a mutated cell where this pathway is fragile or eliminated, THC can induce ceramide.
@MrMarijuanaKills I answered that question a long time ago, except the question was more like, "Will you teach your kids about the effects of smoking marijuana?"
@mrarches Again, I never said that. Not to mention, you used to say, "Pot smokers should amputate their fingers to cure their weed addiction!" Looks like you have a problem, good sir.
Persistent coughing, symptoms of bronchitis and more frequent chest colds are possible symptoms. Marijuana smoke contains 50% more carcinogens than tobacco. Regardless of the THC content, the amount of tar inhaled by marijuana smokers and the level of carbon monoxide are 3 to 5 times higher than in cigarette smoke.
There is evidence from some studies of people exposed to marijuana smoke of increased cancer risk from marijuana smoking.
Studies reporting results for direct marijuana smoking have observed significant associations with cancers of the lung, head and neck, bladder, brain, and testis. The evidence was less strong but suggestive for lung cancer,
@MrMarijuanaKills Actually, the majority of studies concerning head and neck cancer report insignificant increases in cancer risk. The studies for the bladder and testis cancer risks did not adjust for confounding factors. I have yet to see any study reporting an increase for brain cancer risk that adjusted for confounding factors. Overall, the anti-tumoral cannabinoids encourages the aging cells to die, and they dilate the airways that negates some of the tar deposits into the alveoli.
@MrMarijuanaKills It does mitigate the cancer risk to the point of insignificance, though. Unless, the person is mutagen sensitive. Bronchodilators are used in treatment for a variety of lung diseases, and the cannabinoids are bronchodilators. They are also anti-inflammatory chemical compounds. The anti-inflammatory cannabinoids lessens the inflammation that often accompanies the smoke, by inhibiting many of substances that causes the airways to narrow.
@MrMarijuanaKills Caffeine and tobacco, for starters. I do believe that the majority of heroin users used marijuana at some point in their participation of drugs. However, marijuana is rarely the first drug to initiate the gateway sequence.
Now, explain how the majority of marijuana users have never used heroin?
@MrMarijuanaKills The fact that there is a self-destruction button to begin with, means that the person is going to self destruct with or without use of caffeine, tobacco, alcohol and/or marijuana. It's basically a drug use propensity and a risk-taking behavior, but it's not that the use of certain drugs leads to the subsequent use of other drugs. Since, the majority of caffeine users, tobacco users, alcohol users and/or marijuana users have never tried heroin.
@MrMarijuanaKills It seems to be more related to behavior more than anything. Since, people actually have violated the gateway sequence by using other illicit drugs before using alcohol, tobacco and/or marijuana. So, we can't say that the gateway sequence is immutable, or that people don't find their "stopping point."
@zekdom ,nobody apart from severely depressed or deranged person does heroin as a first ever drug,you need to get knowledge of real life before commenting.
There is evidence from some studies of people exposed to marijuana smoke of increased cancer risk from marijuana smoking.
Studies reporting results for direct marijuana smoking have observed significant associations with cancers of the lung, head and neck, bladder, brain, and testis. The evidence was less strong but suggestive for lung cancer,
"gateway theory"is an introduction to drug-using behavior through the use of tobacco, alcohol, or marijuana,an adolescent who uses one drug is more likely to use another, early introduction to substance use is often through tobacco or alcohol. These are considered the first "gate" for most adolescents,tobacco, alcohol, and marijuana are all considered "gateway drugs,"
@MrMarijuanaKills On the contrary, good sir, I know of many pot smokers. Their jobs range from working at Pizza Hut to CPA accounting. True, I don't have any experience, but I have seen how it affects people from a distance. In summation, I am convinced that it should be legal. If anything, the studies further verify that people can abuse it or treat it in moderation.
Researchers looked at over 300 pairs of twins,one twin started using cannabis before17th birthday.Michael Lynskey, at Washington University found that the early user was five times more likely to go on to use harder drugs.
Many hard drug users have followed a similar path from cannabis, to heroin and cocaine. This has led some researchers to argue that soft drugs provide a "gateway",very few users of hard drugs have not tried cannabis first.
1. They did not adjust for environmental factors or genetics
2. It was a retrospective, cross-sectional study, which is a design that can't determine causation.
3. In the abstract, Lynskey said that the environment and genetics can't determine gateway effects. However, three years later, he had another article published in the Addiction Journal 2006. He then states that genetics and environmental factors are significant risk factors.
Indeed real life experience. Got plenty. MrArcher lol. I remember you. So how's work going? Your govt paying enough to trolls like you? Probably not eh.
Gateway drug theory is nonsense.
Of course there are probably more ppl who did smoke weed that also tried other drugs. Some ppl are just more inclined to use ANY type of drugs, especially when the mainstream still pretends cannabis is as bad as some other illegal drugs, if ppl believe that why not use other drugs.
@MrMarijuanaKills They're all around us. Ever hear of drug use propensity? Again, gateway violations occur all the time. Some people do use other illicit drugs before using marijuana, tobacco and/or alcohol. The gateway model is flawed beyond measure, but the common factor model actually makes sense.
@MrMarijuanaKills Oh trust me, I'll be presenting facts that both sides may not agree with. Well, once I get around to it, I'll commence the making of the new videos.
@MrMarijuanaKills Also, according to researchers at the University of Pittsburgh that prospectively studied 224 children, alcohol, tobacco, and marijuana are not gateway drugs. Yet, they found that deviancy was a risk factor for the transition from alcohol and tobacco to marijuana. You can find that study in the American Journal of Psychiatry 2006.
@zekdom Deviancy ??? Wtf does that mean,deviancy can mean a million different things,more than likely that the kid is depressed through a bad upbringing and is a likely candidate for these drugs to have their gateway effect.
@MrMarijuanaKills By deviant, they speak of a person whose behavior deviates from what is acceptable. Deviance, in a sociological context, describes actions or behaviours that violate cultural norms including formally-enacted rules. It should also be mentioned that those kids in that study only trasitioned from alcohol or tobacco to marijuana, and vice versa. They didn't transition to hard illicit drugs.
@MrMarijuanaKills Deviancy can be caused by a myriad of scenarios. A friend of mine was raised in a normal home, but he was just a troublemaker to no end. So, some people are just born rebellious. That, and some children are either disciplined too much, or not enough when they're young. Luckily, I can say that I was raised in a household with a balance of boundaries and freedom. Either way, deviancy is more related to the gateway sequence than drugs are.
@MrMarijuanaKills Well, I know a few people, including myself, that were raised in normal homes. Oh yeah, I know what you mean. I know this family that puts on a show quite well, but their home life isn't entirely what I would call normal. I hang out with my friends and their family members quite a bit, so I know how their families work. It's called being close to people, and it's not hard to figure out what a person's home life is like to the extent if it's normal or strange.
@MrMarijuanaKills They have exhibited their bad habits in front of me, which would be normal once we get to know each other and get comfortable. Oh, I'm starting to remember some memories...Perhaps, it is you who hasn't gone out into the real world? Humans aren't that complicated, we do have trends and habits that we can't hide forever.
One tip though, if I was you I wouldn't refer to it as marijuana, as it's slang and basically created to demonize cannabis and confuse ppl.
Cannabis would be the most proper name, as it's the only real name for it, besides of course naming it "cannabis sativa (var. indica)" but obviously that's too long to use without it becoming annoying when writing/talking about it.
It's like calling alcohol booze when talking about it in a scientific way, that isn't going to give you any credibility.
@CannabisPhilosopher Hey, good sir! Well, I thought about using the botanical name for marijuana, but a lot of people aren't familiar with the word, cannabis. So, I think the journals that I'm going to present will make up for me using the slang term.
Holy shit your profile says you're only 17, wtf is up with that mustache and your size and all lol. You don't look that young at all. Probby from growth hormones in the food eh lol.
You seem to be quite informed for a 17 year old though, not bad... Don't agree with everything you say as we already established but most 17 year olds wouldn't even care about it let alone really know anything about it afaik.
@MrMarijuanaKills Because many people believe that the "stepping stone" hypothesis is factual. Yet, I hope to inform everybody that it's important not to attribute association to causation.
There is evidence from some studies of people exposed to marijuana smoke of increased cancer risk from marijuana smoking.

@zekdom I've seen you around. I'm quite sure I will NOT be disappointed and if you need a little help in, maybe, research or properly putting your material into a publishable citation style- send me a PM. I'll happily throw a few hours of time your way- Gratis.
@bamboo4tameshigiri Duly noted. Actually, I was wondering if you had any journals concerning how the cannabinoids, specifically Delta9-THC and CBD, affect the reproductive system? I've only scratched the surface of this issue, truth be told. Hold up, I'll send you a PM.
@zekdom Honestly, I haven't seen any hard data yet -and it may exist- that cannabis consumption "lowers sperm count" or any of the other bizarre things I've heard. It might lower libido in some and raise it in others, I know that much.
@bamboo4tameshigiri Vice versa on the plants are harmless. Just because something is natural does not make it 100% safe 100% of the time. Just because something is man made does not make it evil. Tetrodotoxin is perfectly natural, while Ciprofloxacin is not. There is no such singular monster that is "drugs" that we must be warring against as if its a troll in some game. A molecule is a molecule is a molecule and each must be weighed on the scale of justice by professional researchers.
The most interesting video will HAVE to be the one that says marijuana isn't natural, because nothing need be done with it other than cut it clean, hang it in a dark room with some wind until it's ready to use.
Very little else out there that meets THAT standard of "natural" so...it should be an interesting video.
@MisterBoneman I think you misunderstood what was said. He's not saying MJ isn't natural, I believe the point he alluded to was that just because something is natural doesn't make it safe to use. Thus, using an argument, which many do today, stating that since cannabis is completely natural that it's safe to consume won't hold up as all someone has to say is aren't poisonous berries natural as well.
@MisterBoneman Your points are well received and appreciated. All things being equal I’ll pick natural over man-made anytime. For sure nature created it as only nature could but we don’t consume it because it’s natural and it’s not illegal because it’s natural. Well, not originally at least. So to bring up the point of it being natural as one of our main arguments for its legalization seems to miss the mark as nature also creates harmful plants. (cont)...
@MisterBoneman ...(cont) So being natural does not necessarily make anything safe to consume. At best it can make for a good supplemental however having solid arguments point by point about the positive vs. negative effects of the most medically effective yet harmfully benign medicine on the planet should help keep us on a productive path. Peace & Pot!
Thank you so much for the uploads and all the journals you showed me via messages, zekdom. I completely agree with what @NormanMatchem said. Cannabis isn't the only plant wrongfully demonized, but it's certianly the most.
I look forward to learning more from your vids, keep fighting the good fight, and keep spreading the word about this truly miraculous plant that has been wrongfully demonized for most of the 20th century.
@NormanMatchem Good sir, I commend you for using proper sources when spreading the word. If people could mimic you in raising the standard, then my job is finished.
@zekdom Like you said in the video, we can't be going off 'cannabis is natural and pure' lol best chance we have is just telling the facts using studies, interviews, and news clips. After all, truth is the best propaganda, and when it comes to cannabis legalization, the truth is all we need.
@NormanMatchem And the truth will set cannabis free, without a doubt. In my opinion, we may have a stronger argument for cannabis oil for strict medicinal purposes. However, if we play our cards right, then we can still make a decent argument for cannabis legalization. The time may very well be now, because the 21st century is the "Golden Age" of cannabis-based studies.
Keep up the good work spreading the word. You are getting better with your videos. Your transition statements could use a little work. I will continue to spread the word also. Cannabis not only doesn't cause cancer .....it cures cancer. How can any of you "think about the children people" argue with that! It kills cancer cells and has never taken a life.

@bamboo4tameshigiri Duly noted. Actually, I was wondering if you had any journals concerning how the cannabinoids, specifically Delta9-THC and CBD, affect the reproductive system? I've only scratched the surface of this issue, truth be told. Hold up, I'll send you a PM.

@zekdom Honestly, I haven't seen any hard data yet -and it may exist- that cannabis consumption "lowers sperm count" or any of the other bizarre things I've heard. It might lower libido in some and raise it in others, I know that much.

@bamboo4tameshigiri Right, because I've heard that marijuana can enhance the sex drive. Well, alright then.

@bamboo4tameshigiri Vice versa on the plants are harmless. Just because something is natural does not make it 100% safe 100% of the time. Just because something is man made does not make it evil. Tetrodotoxin is perfectly natural, while Ciprofloxacin is not. There is no such singular monster that is "drugs" that we must be warring against as if its a troll in some game. A molecule is a molecule is a molecule and each must be weighed on the scale of justice by professional researchers.

Why do you care about marijuana so much?

The most interesting video will HAVE to be the one that says marijuana isn't natural, because nothing need be done with it other than cut it clean, hang it in a dark room with some wind until it's ready to use.
Very little else out there that meets THAT standard of "natural" so...it should be an interesting video.

@MisterBoneman I think you misunderstood what was said. He's not saying MJ isn't natural, I believe the point he alluded to was that just because something is natural doesn't make it safe to use. Thus, using an argument, which many do today, stating that since cannabis is completely natural that it's safe to consume won't hold up as all someone has to say is aren't poisonous berries natural as well.

@TheBuddernut It just seems to get off the path, though.
The point I refer to is that alcohol, heroin, morphine, crystal meth, cocaine, aspirin, Oxycontin, Darvon, Librium....all are processed drugs.
Marijuana has three states, it seems.
Leaf for eating (out of the ground and dried/cured)
chopped and smoked, (again, out of the ground and dried/cured)
and then Rick Simpson's cooking down (and here, it is processed, though in a good way.)
I mean, correct me if I'm wrong, but "natural" is better.

@MisterBoneman Your points are well received and appreciated. All things being equal I’ll pick natural over man-made anytime. For sure nature created it as only nature could but we don’t consume it because it’s natural and it’s not illegal because it’s natural. Well, not originally at least. So to bring up the point of it being natural as one of our main arguments for its legalization seems to miss the mark as nature also creates harmful plants. (cont)...

@MisterBoneman ...(cont) So being natural does not necessarily make anything safe to consume. At best it can make for a good supplemental however having solid arguments point by point about the positive vs. negative effects of the most medically effective yet harmfully benign medicine on the planet should help keep us on a productive path. Peace & Pot!

Thank you so much for the uploads and all the journals you showed me via messages, zekdom. I completely agree with what @NormanMatchem said. Cannabis isn't the only plant wrongfully demonized, but it's certianly the most.

I look forward to learning more from your vids, keep fighting the good fight, and keep spreading the word about this truly miraculous plant that has been wrongfully demonized for most of the 20th century.

@NormanMatchem Good sir, I commend you for using proper sources when spreading the word. If people could mimic you in raising the standard, then my job is finished.
zekdom 6 months ago
@zekdom Like you said in the video, we can't be going off 'cannabis is natural and pure' lol best chance we have is just telling the facts using studies, interviews, and news clips. After all, truth is the best propaganda, and when it comes to cannabis legalization, the truth is all we need.
NormanMatchem 6 months ago
@NormanMatchem And the truth will set cannabis free, without a doubt. In my opinion, we may have a stronger argument for cannabis oil for strict medicinal purposes. However, if we play our cards right, then we can still make a decent argument for cannabis legalization. The time may very well be now, because the 21st century is the "Golden Age" of cannabis-based studies.
