If you check these websites your eyes will be opened to the actual truth.

Hello Annie Dear
The only reply I have to the links and your reply to me is I have watched people that I love close to me on drugs, both hard and 'soft' and I can dispute everything you are telling me here, so contrary to what the media says, I have learned from personal experience in fact, not brainwashing.
Indeed I have tried it Dear and more...I know what it does..

Well, I know for a FACT that nobody can consume enough to OVERDOSE on it. They couldn't possibly smoke enough before falling asleep. If they ate it, they would have to eat a pound or more, also not plausable.

Well, at least we can agree that it needs to be allowed for medicinal uses for people that suffer from serious pain and lack of appetite.

I respect your opinion. Everyone has a different set of life experiences and has their opinion shaped by the circumstances they have observed and encountered. I feel terrible for the bad experiences you have seen surrounding MJ. It is not very often, that MJ affects people as badly as you seem to feel it does.

I thoroughly believe that legalization and regulation is the best option since prohibition has not worked at all. In fact, it wastes money in policing, lawyers, courts and jails that could be spent on harder drugs or an improved health care system.

Removing it from the hands of organized crime would both remove some of the appeal to young people and remove the association of it with harder more damaging drugs.

I don't agree with people that dabble in all sorts of drugs as they do not take into account the interactions between multiple drug use. I steer clear of those types of people that will simply take anything anytime.

I personally, like most MJ users, have never gone beyond MJ use to harder drugs. Once, someone slipped some cocaine or crack into the pipe we were using for MJ and hash and I was very displeased with that group and extricated them from my friend's list permanently. That kind of behaviour is totally unacceptable to me.

We can agree to have differing opinions thank you and in fact yes, I have overdosed on it..hehehehe xooxox Hugs
Crack is sick. Crack is cruel. Crack took my love away from me. It is the devils drug.

Since I have never known nor heard of anyone overdosing on MJ, could you bring yourself to tell me the circumstances so I might also understand your opinion better?

You say you overdosed on it. I meant that nobody has ever died from an overdose like they can die from other drugs as well as alcohol. But you are still alive. So, did you just take too much and fall asleep?

Did you eat or smoke it? Or was it a multiple drug/alcohol interaction?

How much did you consume? And how did it affect you? Were you hospitalized?

I cannot just blindly continue to believe my own opinion without seeing and understanding both sides, this is why I ask. I only seek the truth. The truth is everything to me. It always has and always will be.

I definitely agree that crack is deadly. I feel so terrible for your loss. It hurts me to see you hurting. I think it should stay illegal and people dealing it should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

I will gladly tell you Annie..
Here was the scene..I was around 19 I believe, and I was at a long awaited WHO concert, outdoors...I hadn't eaten that day(that could be a factor), but people were passing the smoke around, and there you have it...before I knew it, the next thing I knew, I was on a stretcher being carried out of the field...and sadly, I had my favourite earrings on..my lovely feather peacock earrings, and it was raining and since I couldn't move from 'stonedness', I was crying and asking the medics would they please remove my feather earrings so that they would not get ruined in the rain! LOL
Thank you for your caring of my hurt Annie Dear..cheers dear friend xoxo Hugs

There are so many different strains out there that are cultivated hydroponically to increase the THC content for organized crime to sell it.

That is the exact reason why I steer clear of hydroponic weed or from an unknown source. I prefer to only use outdoor grown stuff that is not as strong as the commercially sold stuff. I don't buy it, I grow my own for my personal use so I am well aware of it's strength prior to using it at all. I must be very sensitive to it, as 2 drags is lots for me. I could never tolerate a whole joint. Like you, I would be too stoned to move and it also gives me nauseau if I take too much (particulary hydro), so I am very wary and careful to not overdo it.

If someone offers me some of theirs to try, I will limit myself to only one drag until I have evaluated the effects on me first.

Yep, Annie, that is wise because it if often laced with stuff here anyways...I cannot smoke at all now..not at all..my lungs and throat close up if I try...I have not smoked for years. xo

I'm getting tired of smoking and coughing, too. I have tried to only use fresh stuff so it won't be so harsh, but I am planning on buying a vapourizer this week, tomorrow, actually, to lessen that, too. Plus, in vapourizing it, instead of burning it, it is way less toxic, like cigarettes.

Yeah, I thought I would email them and ask. I kinda thought that they may be pro-legalization based on their 'green' campaign.

But I didn't know for sure until I asked and I was pleased by their response.

Although, unlike the NDP, they don't have any real plans to implement it yet at this point.

I just thought others would be interested to know.

That's right, fwidman.

It is actually so much safer than alcohol. I consider alcohol a poison. You can take it in moderate amounts, but too much will poison you. Alcohol poisoning is a very real possibility.

MJ is not like that. You cannot overdose on MJ. You couldn't possibly consume enough to overdose. The worst thing that happens to you if you smoke too much, is that you fall asleep.

But yes, I agree with you in that it should be legalized, so that people have a legal choice between the 2. It is used by many responsible upstanding citizens, just exactly the same as alcohol. They have some AFTER WORK, to relax and unwind.

Here is a Public Service Announcement also derived from http://www.cannabisfacts.ca/. But also has many internet links on the bottom of the pdf file for proof of reference.

No need to convince me, I've been a supporter of legalizing pot since I was a teenager in the sixties I tried it, but it isn't a substance for me, all it ever did was put me to sleep

I know, I was just trying to spread out my proofs and information amongst the many posts here to this discussion. lol.

I didn't think you would mind.

Well, I use it as a sleep aid, when I have trouble falling asleep. I also use it for my period cramps and it seems to also help with any pain.

The gov't did approve it's use for Multiple Sclerosis, so it must work for them.

You're funny, Oreo. Thanks for coming. I appreciate it.

I'm so glad that is on your ballots down in the U.S. I hope everyone, or at least a majority, will check that box.

I agree, 100%, edgy. Alcohol is much more harmful than MJ could ever be.

Alcohol can cause people to drive aggressively, assault others more readily, die of alcohol poisoning.

I have never had a hangover from MJ, EVER. It wears off in a few hours with no residual effects.

Yet, alcohol is legal and readily accepted by the majority.

A chart from www.saferchoice.org

A wise woman I know has a philosophy, or rather a truth that she shares. "When I drink too much, I will crawl to the table to get my car keys, wobble out the door, stumble into my car and drive away. When I smoke too much there is nothing you can do to get my butt up off the couch." IF MJ is in someone's system at the scene of an accident, you can bet there are other things there as well.
Thanks for that link, gotta take somemore time to check it out.

hehe.do you know my mom??? Your response sounds exactly like something that would come from her:)

Nope, don't know her, love..
But she sounds like she has a good head on her shoulders.
Biased? Maw? haha

hehe...well I'm a bit biased too,
but great minds think alike none-the-less:)

You are right in that smoking it includes injesting the tars from combustion. For that reason I am purchasing a vapourizer this week, tomorrow, actually.

I smoke cigarettes, too, so it is high time I started thinking seriously about quitting that bad habit. At the very least, reducing the noxious gases produced.

Eating it gives you a different whole body stone than smoking it, too. It is harder to only take a small amount that way, too. Well, at least for me, since I love chocolate. lol It increases the risk of taking in too much. Then you are stuck with just riding it out, until it wears off.

We, a few of us, made some brownies, and we ate really big brownies. We were stoned for days. lol.
