You ain't seen nothing yet!  User ID: 81167229 United States05/25/2022 10:28 PM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Cannabis causes Psychosis, man i smoke so much ive never exp that, at least I dont think I have Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80646527 It does. Plus try to remember one thing the weed today IS NOT supposed to be for the kids of today. When we started smoking weed was much less potent and much more pure, as we grew older the weed grew with us BECAUSE we were the ones growing it. Now we got kief covered cyrofused hybrid hydro GMO from space brand weed on every corner. There really no telling how vastly different the kids growing up now are going to experience weed. Ever wonder why kids these days have no middle ground? Always one extreme to the other like they all have some type of split personality disorder? Could be the drugs.... You bring up an excellent point. The cannabis of today is radically different in the ratio and composition of its psychoactive components. Perhaps we should have left nature alone and accepted her medicine as it was. Scientists still don't completely understand how the many compounds in cannabis interact with each other. Kamala Harris is not a Natural Born Citizen. She's illegally running. Used by the Founders... Book I of The Law of Nations, Chapter XIX, § 212 (Joseph Chitty numbering) – “Citizens and natives” reads: 'The citizens are the members of the civil society; bound to this society by certain duties, and subject to its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens. As the society cannot exist and perpetuate itself otherwise than by the children of the citizens, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all their rights.' 1758 Emerich de Vattel Oh' What the Hell, do I look like I want to die in some nursing home one day... America must have 4 new Constitutional Amendments... 1. Drug Tests and Mental Evaluations on all politicians and judges randomly five times per year. 2. Term Limits for Federal politicians and judges. 3. Mental and health standards for Supreme Court Justices and retirement age set. 4. A 'Star Chamber' of elected Natural Born Citizens (no attorney's) to ivestigate, try, and prosecute the politicians and government employee's as they see fit. Mandatory death penalty by public hanging is the merciful sentence for pedos and their associates. Democrats are a WMD, literally. Let Justice Be Done Though The Heavens Fall. |

Quoting: Radagast the Brown That's with anything though, really. This is why THC and marijuana MUST stay banned Well, just as the "gun ban" im sure you think would work, id still get weed as i did when it was "banned" before. Ill decide whats legal in my own home, and i wont harm anyone with said guns nor weed. Cause this is murica See how that works, you little wanna be tyrant?  |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 43916469 United States05/25/2022 10:29 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Cannabis causes psychosis. Psychosis causes violence. Quoting: Doc Savage Alex Berenson 2 hr ago Yep, there it is, the first reference to cannabis use by Salvador Ramos, the Texas elementary school killer. In the New York Times. Took 24 hours, give or take. And Ms. Rodriguez recalled he would often talk about how much he despised his mother and grandmother, whom he told her did not let him smoke weed or do what he wanted. This is only one case. Except it’s not. Nikolas Cruz, the Florida high school shooter, was a heavy user and told the police detective who interviewed him that he heard voices. Devin Patrick Kelley - who shot up a Texas church and killed 26 people in 2017 before blowing his head off - had THC in his system when he died. (Kelley had anti-anxiety drugs too; a lot of heavy cannabis users wind up using Xanax or Klonopin to try to tamp down their paranoia.) Darrell Brooks Jr., last seen allegedly racing through the Waukesha Christmas Parade, is a self-described stoner. CONTINUED AT: [link to alexberenson.substack.com (secure)] Good question. It is a fact for some users. So, very possible. Those that worship and proselytize for their holy god of marijuana will have the knives out for the perceived slander though. so like how you worship and proselytize for your holy god of trump have your knives out for the perceived slander got it |

Marijuana users are drug users, plain and simple, same as those who use alcohol, heroin, cocaine, opiates, methamphetamines and similar substances. Drug users need a crutch to live because they’re weak, so they screw with their minds to make it easier for them to live in the world. Of course, their habit makes it harder for everyone else around them to enjoy life, but that doesn’t bother them one bit, as drug users are among the most selfish of people on the planet. I’ve had enough dealings with potheads, boozers, junkies and tweakers in my life - they are human debris who ruin and destroy everything around them, all the while wallowing in self-pity. |

Quoting: LobsterJ No way. Time to end the cartels by legalizing all drugs. Drug prohibition is expensive. The US can't afford it anymore. The main thing drug money used to be used for was bribing government officials to be our friends all around the world. Now the Fed just prints limitless money. Drug prohibition is now nothing but a liability. Limitless Fed money is how Joe Biden stole the 2020 election even; drug money is that obsolete and never managed to do that. the biggest cartels in mexico quit all illicit businesses because they had invested it in legit high earning businesses and didn't need the rest.

User ID: 80949168 United States05/25/2022 10:36 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | There is definitely some compelling scientific evidence that long term cannabis use can aggravate impulsive and violent behavior in certain susceptible individuals. However, the reason that this angle of the shooter is being played by politicians is entirely about inflaming voters for the midterms. Both sides are bringing out the big guns to distract Americans. Abortion, gun rights, cannabis legalization. All of these things are being dragged back into the public consciousness to stop us from voting on the real issues. Someone in this thread has already touched on the agenda of keeping illegal drug prices artificially high to benefit the cartels that have partnered with the deep state. How many libertine stoner leftists will die on this particular hilll? They're trying to undermine the red wave and many of the RINOs are in on it, as they'd rather have the Democrats in control than grassroots populist Republicans in their own party. Quoting: The Alkahest there is 100% evidence happening in bars across the world for centuries that short term alcohol use can aggravate impulsive and violent behavior in certain susceptible individuals. And I absolutely agree with you. However, I have come to an understanding that what these drugs are doing is simply lowering the impulse threshold to allow the expression of tendencies that are already present in these people. If you're an insecure and close minded person who is quick to anger, then you probably shouldn't drink. Of course, such an individual would probably never admit to themselves that they are this way and continue to drink. What is more disturbing is the staggering number of people who would behave this way if their inhibitions were made just slightly lower. There is an epidemic of madness and an absent awareness of self. Alcohol/cannabis lets us see it. cannabis let's you see the self it is mind expanding alcohol is mind numbing While I find that statement to be generally accurate, we must also consider the case-by-case effects of different drugs on different individuals. I can personally attest to this, as virtually all drugs I have used affect me atypically. For example, cannabis causes me full-blown visual phenomena and acts like a form of psilocybin. Alcohol, rather than numbing my mind, makes it sharper, releases my creativity, and amplifies my empathy (up until a point). Different people, different brain chemistry, different effects.

Illegal marijuana can have all kinds of issues. heavy metals other drugs pesticides that can ruin you etc. When someone growing in the bush and there's a bunch of shit growing on their weed - pests or fungus etc - they put all kinds of shit on it since to them it's a weight based cash crop - need to save it at all costs. Home growers are very careful of what goes into their plants and use specialized nutrient supplementation and other things. Avoid pesticides that aren't safe / etc. |

Yep, SSRIs are barbaric in terms of their mode of action and we've already discovered alternatives that can be patented and substituted safely. Yet big pharma doesn't want to pay the overhead to change their paradigm. Ketamine does a better job of treating depression than even the most effective SSRI. Big pharma knows that.

That’s why we as conservatives need to expand the police state to make sure all pot plants are extinguished from the entire planet. If one is seen growing in nature, a swat team must destroy it immediately, especially if spotted in a red state where freedom and liberty are cherished. We absolutely have to rid the world of pot plants and people who are caught near one or holding the flowers collected from one. Nature is evil and republicans know this. It’s totally reasonable to restrict anyone from using plants even if it helps them because there might be someone out there who has a negative experience from plants and that’s dangerous. This communistic approach so totally aligns with conservatism because it only applies to plants. Molon lobe or something. |
