Joe Rogan speaks about Marijuana and legalization.
Thumbs up if you agree on how retarded todays laws are!

Last man speaking is Dr. Lester Grinspoon, associate professor emeritus of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School.

And before you disagree..

-Marijuana can cause short-term memory loss, but only while under the influence.
-Marijuana does not impair long-term memory.
-Marijuana does not lead to harder drugs.
-Marijuana does not cause brain damage, genetic damage, or damage the immune system.
-Unlike alcohol, marijuana does not kill brain cells or induce violent behaviour.

Continuous long-term smoking of marijuana can cause bronchitis, but the chance of contracting bronchitis from casual marijuana smoking is minuscule. Respiratory health hazards can be totally eliminated by consuming marijuana via non-smoking methods, i.e., ingesting marijuana via baked foods, tincture, or vaporizer.

A 1997 UCLA School of Medicine study (Volume 155 of the American Journal of Respiratory & Critical Care Medicine) conducted on 243 marijuana smokers over an 8-year period reported the following: "Findings from the long-term study of heavy, habitual marijuana smokers argue against the concept that continuing heavy use of marijuana is a significant risk factor for the development of chronic lung disease." "Neither the continuing nor the intermittent marijuana smokers exhibited any significantly different rates of decline in lung function as compared with those individuals who never smoked marijuana."

The study concluded: "No differences were noted between even quite heavy marijuana smoking and non-smoking of marijuana." Marijuana does not cause serious health problems like those caused by tobacco or alcohol (e.g., strong addiction, cancer, heart problems, birth defects, emphysema, liver damage, etc.). Death from a marijuana overdose is impossible. In all of world history, there has never been a single human death attributed to a health problem caused by marijuana.

Like any substance, marijuana can be abused. The most common problem attributed to marijuana is frequent overuse, which can induce lethargic behaviour, but does not cause serious health problems.

Legalize marijuana and life would be better for most (if not all) people.

Hey, people say that pot makes people less productive, but I went to three job interviews in a row high and I got job offers from all three places. I would have to argue that pot stimulates the economy.

@The1337BBQ You should read the holy science textbook of biology and chemistry and open your god damn eyes. People like you treat science like its a bunch of made of numbers and facts. Science is as simple as observing something, writing it down, and looking at trends and connections. Fucking logic and nothing else. If there is a god, religion was probably his test to see how fucking stupid people can be.

Should forks be illegal?

Ironically, when the Catholic church ran the western world, the fork was know as a devils tool and people were burned aloive for posessing them

@gbeagle130 Yea but the majority of plants aren't dangerous, and in this case this one isn't, but I get your point and yea it sounded stupid:p

[gbeagle130]

@sabuomarrr1 I agree it's not dangerous, but you can't say it isn't because it's a plant. There are plenty of plants that would kill you if you smoked them

@TheDylanDynamite Depends on who you are (genetics) and what your lifestyle is like

@TheDylanDynamite

I dont think it makes you less productive but it can affect you while trying do be productive. Example I smoke weed regularly but only when im playing video games or hanging out with friends. I tried it once before studying and I studied a lot I was happier to be studying and studied longer than I normally would but I didnt remember a fucking thing the next day haha.

@The1337BBQ again thanks for proving how much you know about the subject, instead of thinking of something within the subject matter, you choose to bash, like a coward. also i can see your mad, so ill let ya cool down. breathe in, and out. you good now? alright cool, now wanna try again but this time within subject matter? probably not, i doubt you want to show us how little you know again, you already proved that point clear. p.s. troll just got trolled

[masteroflife777]

Personally, I believe we need a ONE world government, with One law, which includes the outlawing of marijuana..

[psyTranc22]

chemistry is nature too, hell plastic is natural, the economy is why pot is illegal
