The short-term effects of marijuana can include problems with memory and learning; distorted perception; difficulty in thinking and problem solving; loss of coordination; and increased heart rate. Research findings for long-term marijuana use indicate some changes in the brain similar to those seen after long-term use of other major drugs of abuse. For example, cannabinoid (THC or synthetic forms of THC) withdrawal in chronically exposed animals leads to an increase in the activation of the stress-response system(6) and changes in the activity of nerve cells containing dopamine(7). Dopamine neurons are involved in the regulation of motivation and reward, and are directly or indirectly affected by all drugs of abuse.
____
One study has indicated that a user’s risk of heart attack more than quadruples in the first hour after smoking marijuana(8). The researchers suggest that such an effect might occur from marijuana’s effects on blood pressure and heart rate and reduced oxygen-carrying capacity of blood.
_________
A study of 450 individuals found that people who smoke marijuana frequently but do not smoke tobacco have more health problems and miss more days of work than nonsmokers(9). Many of the extra sick days among the marijuana smokers in the study were for respiratory illnesses.

Sorry, but I can't resist.
I read the articles, and they are so ridiculously easy to rebut that I'm going to do it today instead of tomorrow. Article 1: This article really does not say much about negative effects of marijuana use. It states that during periods of heavy use, the user's IQ may drop by an average of several points. However, it also says that this is ONLY during the time of heavy use, and that the user's IQ usually returns after ceasing use. Paragraph 1: BS. I'd like to see the sources. I can guarantee you that I do more research (and I mean reading) on this topic than you do. I have read several articles which state that dopamine is not produced as a result of marijuana use. Also, I have personally been a VERY heavy user of marijuana (their definition is 5 joints... I smoked at least 30 a week). That took place for almost a year, and the worst withdrawal symptom I got was mild annoyance at not being able to smoke weed (which I attribute to my anger at weed being illegal more than anything). Paragraph 2: Well then... Don't use marijuana if you're at high risk for a heart attack. Problem solved. Cigarettes don't exactly reduce the risk of a heart attack, but we don't throw people in jail for smoking them. Paragraph 3: If you eat marijuana or use a vaporizer, none of the negative effects of smoking will be a problem. The main reason people don't eat or vaporize is the price. I don't want to put $100 worth of weed into some brownies to get the desired effect, and I don't want a $500 vaporizer confiscated. I can guarantee that if it were legal, more people would have vaporizers, and if the price were lower more people would eat it. That paragraph also doesn't mention the fact that THC is actually a http://www.cannabisnews.com/news/21/thread21201.shtml - carcinogen blocker . Got anything else? *Edit: Dang. My rebuts to Articles 2 & 3 got deleted somehow. Give me a minute to retype them. -------------

Had to retype rebut to articles 2 & 3... sorry.
Article 2: This article is based on flawed science. 1.6 days is not nearly enough time for marijuana's effects to be measured. If you stop smoking weed, you will be high for several hours, and possibly feel the "afterglow" effect for up to a couple of days. Show me the same results 15 or more days after cessation of smoking and I will be more likely to respect the findings. Article 3: This proves nothing. I know many "stoners" who are far healthier than most people who don't smoke weed. It's all about life choices. Weed doesn't make you pick up that candy bar or that Big Mac. If you don't want to eat it, you won't. I actually probably eat more unhealthy food now that I don't smoke, and I'm definately less physically active. -------------

Honestly, alcohol, tobacco, weed, etc are gateway drugs. I started with tobacco, then to alcohol, and then to weed. Yes, the Marine Corps knows about it. Good luck.

Heres to you, that is not the reason why the Marine Corps doesn't want its personel to veer from its policy. Look at it this way, if HO went around saying that he thinks weed is good, but at the same time is a Marine, how does that reflect on the Corps? Not Good. -------------

Hey Guys! Exactly. Marines are Marines 24/7/365 and we attempt to be professional at all times and in all circumstances. If I am walking around with a Budweiser ballcap, Corona t-shirt, or maybe a Skoal jacket, some trash like that (I like all three), people will think all Marines and the Marine Corps supports such things. This reflect badly on myself, the Corps, and the individual Marines. I may be the only Marine those people ever meet or interact with. If I'm being stupid, then they'll say, "Dang, guess all that trash in the commercials is total bullcrap!" Which hurts the Corps. And thinking...I have opinions. But the opinion I share openly with civillians is the one that the Corps has. To diss the Iraq war (I'm not saying I agree or disagree with anything regarding it, but for example) would look bad. People would think..."What the heck, the Corps itself doesn't even believe in it!" Good luck! Hell's Oracle, Semper Fi ------------- "HO is right..." - Procarbinefreak |

You are not a mouth piece for the corps. You are a marine and you are entitled to an opinion. If you have no opinion and blindly accept what the marine corps tells you. Thats really just what the natzis said they did, they blindly accepted orders and didnt voice their opinions on what was going on. If something happens that you dont agree with, speak up, chances are more people are thinking exactly what you are. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/DBibeau855/?chartstyle=myspacecolors">

Hey! These are the rules of the Corps! We do not wear any thing or support anything dealing with controlled or illegal substances and we do act professionally at all times and in all places. If I could walk around and bum with holes in my pants like the new style is, Corona shirt, and cap on backwards, I would, but I can't. Nobody may know, but that's where integrity comes in. And again, we were cautioned very strongly on what we say. We are not permitted to wear or promote anything anti-war or anti-American (or anti-our Allies), so why would we be able to say anything like that? Good luck!

However, there are other ways to consume marijuana (as I discussed in my earlier posts). It doesn't really get me too upset. I DO however, like to present my arguments.

I dont mind people who smoke marijuana for the most part, but I dont like people who get super defensive when you say it is bad for you. It is not good for you. How bad, we dont know, but it is not good for you. That said, lots of other legal things are also bad for you, so take it with a grain of salt. -------------

| Great post TKD. Getting a rise out of people who view pot as a holy substance is always good for kicks. I drink and totally accept the fact that it isn't good for me, why is it pot heads not only need to portray it as harmless, but even as benificial? Admit it, you just do it becuase it feels good and don't really give a crap if it's bad for you. Then you compare it to other, legal substances that are worse for you. If something is worse than it, does it actually make pot better for you? And seriously, who, on a regular basis, uses it in any way other than smoking it? It's just too much of a hassle. People who get super defensive about pot and really have nothing exciting to talk about except pot are what keep me from doing it on a regular basis. |

Actually Rednekk, I know several people who use marijuana in vaporizers.
By using vaporizers, you eliminate all potential respiratory hazards. Also, alcohol is a very different chemical than THC. Alcohol poisons your brain. THC bonds itself to the cannabinoid receptors in your brain, and that's how it causes its effects. -------------

Vaporizers are a risk in themselvs. They have to be kept VERY clean. There have been cases were people using vaporizers for medical reasons, and entertainment (Those Breath-Booze things) have been seriously hurt by not keeping them clean. Spores and mold can grow inside the tubing, and when you breathe in you are sucking the toxin right into your lungs. -------------

| Sorry, I figure if we only use 10% of our brains, how much danage can I really do with the amount I drink? Besides, you get used to going after the gatorade first thing in the morning like how a poisoned rat goes to water to die. I do know that smoking while drunk is a great way to ruin your night. It doesn't come on slowly like alcohol normally does, and when it hits you hard you can't just give up and go to sleep, because you get the spins. I don't have a problem with it other that I find it rather unpleasant to use, and it's more illegal for me to use than alcohol. I still feel no need to try to justify using it to myself. I really don't feel that it's worth my time to aquire it, try different varieties of it and methods of using it. If I want to spend some time being totally non-productive, I'll spend it here. |

Quite true.
However, that is an avoidable risk. Most people who use a vaporizer use it frequently enough to keep that kind of stuff from accumulating. Additionally, vaporizing marijuana is different from alcohol in that mold and fungi don't usually grow unless the surface is put away while it's wet. That's not likely to happen with marijuana since marijuana doesn't contain that much water. Also, anyone who buys a $500 device to vaporize marijuana is not likely to take bad care of it. I owned a $50 bowl, and I took care of it like it was a baby. It had a safe, padded pouch, and I boiled it to clean it any time I had a chance. -------------

I suppose it's all personal preference. I know many people who prefer alcohol over weed, but I also know many other who would rather smoke a bowl or two than drink any day. I can honestly say that I've never had a negative experience caused by weed. Also, for myself, weed is not non-productive. I have actually (as corny as some may think it is), used weed in order to reach a deeper understanding of myself. Don't get me wrong, I've also used it just to "trip balls," but that's not the only thing I've used it for. -------------

Marijuana has changed my life. At this point in time I am still way to young to know if it was bad or good. - It has made my grades go down. Directly and indirectly. + I have many more friends that I can either directly or indirectly link to the fact that I consume said substance. I used to be very anti-social until I began to smoke. My weekends for the most part were invovled with me staying home and medicating myself with video games. Who needs friends when you can dive into fantasy worlds where you can be anything you want. MMORPG's were my first addiction. It started with a little bit during the summer. Then school came back and started talking to people I never knew before and even talked to some friends from ages ago. But now, it's december... I'm failing adv. math and physics is slowly going down. I'm trying to decide if I should quit or not. The biggest problem I see is that with my current friendships in place. It will be hard to find things to do on weekends that don't involve it. I am a very introverted person. This decision alone makes me want to forget the world and go light up now. ------------- |

If you want to smoke, smoke, if not, dont. It doesnt really effect your grades because all of my friends who do it all the time have all A's, I myself have done it on and off (depending if I have money/time). Doesnt mess with me at all. -------------

Try cutting down for a bit, maybe to only 5 days a week or even only on the weekends, and see if that works. It probably will. -------------

Hey! I'm sticking to my old saying that it's only a matter of time before marijuana is legalized all together. It's already gaining momentum slowly but surely. Congress is starting to realize the reality of the situation and that is that marijuana has, is, and always is going to be present in society no matter how many laws are imposed to stop it. Alcohol is responsible for far more violent crimes and deaths than marijuana has ever been and ever will be. So why not ban alcohol or even cigarettes at that which contribute to a huge number of deaths every year as well. This reality will soon be realized fully and when it does...this country's gonna be a whole lot happier! ------------- Name: Paul R. Warman II Location: The Boonies, MI Phone Number: (989)666-XXXX |

Let me guess... You probably think that LSD (acid) can't teach you things either, correct? Through smoking weed I learned several things. 1) How to just sit back and relax. I used to always feel the need to be doing something. If I had to sit still, I'd get anxious and moody. Even after not smoking for 4 months, I can still just sit back and enjoy the beauty of being alive, not needing more money, a better girl, or other material items. 2) Not to be so uptight. I used to have a real hard-ass image at my school. Everyone thought I was a nice guy, but just closed off emotionally. Now people (not only pot smokers, but others) think I'm generally open with them, honest, and a good guy to hang out with. 3) Not to get pissed about small things. I used to have a huge temper, which I couldn't always control very well. My temper is very low now. I still get pissed about certain large things, but the little things no longer bother me so much. 4) I don't always need a girlfriend to be happy. I can have fun just chilling with my friends. Before I felt like I couldn't be happy unless I was hanging out with a girl I was dating. I've learned quite a few smaller things, but those are all big realizations I had while smoking marijuana. -------------

Ugh. Drugs will not give you enlightenment, if you want to learn about yourself, go to a shrink, climb a mountain, take up yoga or something. But do not try and say your habbit of smoking pot every once in a while is something its not. You like it, thats fine, but dont say its some philisophical experience.
Dont take us for idiots. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/DBibeau855/?chartstyle=myspacecolors">

Ok bluemunky, after that totally idiotic post on the last page you are no longer allowed to share your views on marijuana. I'm not even going to comment on the AK-47 part.

I don't think weed has influenced my GPA.
I had a 3.67 before I started smoking, and I have a 3.47 now. I attribute that to two things. One is that I actually talk to people in school now instead of just sitting there getting my homework done before the hour ends, and the other is that I'm in a few pretty dang hard classes. -------------
