Hurm, know what? You changed my mind about something I wrote earlier: People like you arguing for the legalization of marijuana are the main reason why it is still illegal.
I'm handing out infractions for those of you that blatantly flamed here and got the post reported. You guys need to cool it and not resort to ad-hominem, no matter how bad you think the other person's post is.

Great... Except when I talked about overdosing, that goes for everyone. Your dopamine receptors in your brain WILL cause the effects I described and can be exceptionally dangerous to ANYONE who has not already overloaded them in the past (making them more numb to the sensation). Don't believe me? Give up smoking pot for 2 months. Then get some really strong shit and smoke 2 grams to your face. Lemme know what happens.

for assassins.... ya your comparing them to the trips that a high school kid has, they get paranoid very easily. assassin are trained killers. if you smoke a joint, in quite a few people, it helps you to relax and process the situation. these were highly trained people, not little kids. they smoked ganja on the regular and were very used to any effects. they dont go and smoke 3 blunts and 6 bowls. they smoked a small bowl or so and proceeded. look it up.

Regardless on whether or not an assassin is a trained killer, MARIJUANA SLOWS DOWN YOUR REFLEXES, CHANGES YOUR PERCEPTION, CAN CAUSE AUDIO AND VISUAL HALLUCINATIONS, AND MAKES YOU FORGETFUL. Do any of those effects sound IDEAL for someone like an assassin? It's even worse if they've been smoking their whole lives seeing as how frequently using pot has some long-term debilitating effects on the body, lung capacity, and a zillion other things.
Oh holy God, why am I even arguing this point? The Internet has ruined me. I am not going to look this up. You made the claim, the burden of proof is on you.

maybe for you you get a little more racy and a little paranoid. but for a lot of people i know, and for my self personally, my body and mind are very relaxed under the influence. it is not addictive to all. to some sure, they get hooked on that feeling because of their own insecurities in reality. i smoked every day just about and quit cold turkey for a couple months then picked up again and quit for a few more months. so its not addictive to all, to some. its not for everybody.

Okay, you are arguing from personal experience. I'm not. Again, I am an AVID marijuana smoker and I enjoy it quite a bit. The facts of the matter are that it is an addictive substance in the same way lots of things are addictive. Alcoholism, gambling problems, addiction to porn, or any other million things can happen. I am not saying that every person who smokes pot will get addicted, what I am saying is that you are only looking at one HALF of why people become addicted to things. Mental conditions, making things into a habit, oral fixation, and 10 million and one other reasons exist as to why people get hooked on pot sometimes.
Plus doesn't it seem funny that you are arguing that it is not addictive, yet you keep going back to it? You say you stop smoking but eventually go back. Know what AA calls that? Falling off the wagon.

you cant make general statements like that. because they dont apply to everybody. like i said in my first post. marijuana isn't for evrybody, people handle the effects differently and they can vary vastly from one individual to another.
dont say that marijuana takes a hold of your life... like its an absolute fact. because that is straight ignorance. i started to smoke marijuana in the 7th grade. after i started i continued to get high test scores and my grades still remained above average. for me, it helped to change my perspective. it made me a kinder and more realistic person. it helped me realize what i find important in this world. it just helped, it wasn't the sole cause. so dont say that it will ruin your life and control you. you sound like one of those above the influence commercials which are completely retarded and i laugh my ass off every time i see them, at their corporate funded bullshit. if you want to talk about any "drug taking over someones life, talk about any prescription drug or any drug made in a lab. they try to focus on marijuana. its crystal meth, cocaine, heroin, extacy, shrooms, all the hardcore drugs that truly ruin peoples lives

Jeez, should I list the number of logical fallacies in this post? No, I don't have that kind of time.
You are arguing from personal experience, not facts. You say it is great for you? Wonderful. It isn't great for everyone and it does not have the same effects on everyone. It IS a drug and guess what? Not every drug should be wildly available to whomever wants it. Also, I really don't think you read my post. Try again and get back to me.

so dont apply your opinions to every body who smokes because it doesnt apply. i dont apply my opinions in general statements like that. its that kind of narrow thinking thats frustrating.

What. No, no. You just argued ENTIRELY from your own personal experience as to why it should be legal. Don't you bloody dare try and say that you opinion is correct because, after all, the only thing you have presented here in this thread is an opinion.
Plus hey, it's obvious that the drug does have a very bad side effect on you: You never shut up about completely off topic and inane shit. You couldn't focus enough to even read my post, much less argue against it.

@ mal.......oh wow.... you named 2 countries and 2 states where salvia is banned. i just bought some salvia out of a smoke shop over here in california just last month. they sell all the potencies as well. there are plenty of places to purchase salvia.

This is further proof that you don't actually read posts. Congrats, you lose. Marijuana is illegal and me and all of the other relatively intelligent stoners are super pissed at you. Womp womp womp, you lose a life and have to start over from the beginning of the level.
Salvia info:

That's 15 states where it is illegal for consumption. Wanna guess on how many are working on making it illegal? I'll give you a hint: It's somewhere between 34 and 35.

Actually that is not true. Marijuana has a much higher combustion rate than tobacco, meaning that it is a LOT hotter going into your throat.
Also, seeing as how marijuana isn't legal, it goes through a lot of hands to get to you. Hell, you buy it in a wadded up baggie from some sketchy dude who thinks that assassins smoke bud to get better at killing. Who knows what could potentially be added to it? It's unregulated and unprotected.
