You wanna know the #1 reason why it's unconstitutional to ban Cannabis/ Hemp? Because the very people who wrote the Constitution, wrote it on HEMP paper and were avid growers. Thomas Jefferson even kept journal logs on ways to improve his horticulture.Take away the thousands of uses it is capable of.Take away the possible projected annual income of $billions.Take away the simple fact that it is THE best stress eliminator out there.If our forefathers smoked it, then by god we can too! Case closed

@GregOBehave hello, i am a student of neuroscience. no, THC does not destroy neurons. THC actually has suprisingly few unwanted side effects, but they do present very rarely in some situations. marijuana can actually be smoked to help with asthma, and it does not cause respiratory problems unless smoked incorrectly or with too much tobacco in it. actually, if you were to use a vaporizer (instead of smoking joints), you would almost certainly never have any marijuana-related respiratory problems.

@sergeantjohnson666 - I didn't necessarily mean that it kills brain cells but it messes up your brain and causes untold problems with health. Paranoia, respiratory problems, psychosis....all sorts. That is a fact my friend. I am living proof of that and so are many others I know and don't know. So fuck scientific tests. Maybe you're not old enough yet to know anyone or feel any problems yourself. And how long were these monkeys taking it for? Not long enough I imagine.

@GregOBehave BTW you're stupid as shit. Smoking weed won't kill brain cells. The study that "proved" it killed brain cells was conducted by putting a gas mask on a group of monkeys, and subjecting them to pure weed smoke WWITHOUT additional oxygen. In turn, when autopsies were done and brain cells were counted, the monkeys that were pumped full of smoke had brain damage from LACK OF OXYGEN TO THE BRAIN, some studies even suggest weed stimulates brain cell growth.

@GregOBehave He wasnt even the one selling bongs. The bong company asked him to use his name on their products, and he didn't have anything to do with the actual company. The DEA or whatever went after HIM, threatening his family basicly if he didn't make a statement. So he "admitted" to doing it, and they sent this amazing, peaceful, brilliant, funny-as-fuck, stonerly actor/comedian to the slammer. Ain't THAT some shit!!! FUCK AMERICA >:O

[GregOBehave]

How can someone be in jail for selling bongs? Is that a law over there? I don't get it.

[GregOBehave]

@killyalater - I've seen several friends lose their intelligence and minds from too much smoking. So that's enough proof for me. I've definitely lost a few brain cells because of it too and I gave up years ago. I'm not stupid. I can feel the negative effects it's had. The amount of old smokers that now suffer from major anxiety and mental disorders....

@killyalater learned that from the union

Just for selling drug paraphernalia, mostly bongs. There was no "illegal" substance that he was arrested for. He was arrested to keep the illusion alive by the feds.
