(Uhm, yeah.): How can marijuana kill you?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

overdose.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

(Uhm, yeah.): It is impossible to overdose on solely marijuana. Weed has been the cause of a total of 0 (zero) deaths in history.

Isn't it illegal? and why would you want to be a stoner? it's a dumb ass idea

by Anonymous 13 years ago

(Uhm, yeah.): no shit it's illegal but so is downloading free music

by Anonymous 13 years ago

but there are no short term or long term affects to downloading free music.

And speeding.

(Uhm, yeah.): Illegality does not mean shit, the premises on which it was made illegal in the 30's were total bullshit. You obviously believe what they tole you in grade school because it is impossible to die from smoking marijuana. Many healthy hard working and successful individuals smoke pot. You blindly follow porpaganda

Uhhh, excuse me for not being a stoner. And wanting to keep my health.

(Uhm, yeah.): Um I dont care that you dont smoke weed, thats a personal choice. I have friends that dont smoke weed, but at least they know truth about it.

Marijuana itself cannot kill you, that I agree with; but smoking cigarettes kills many many people and smoking marijuana is just like smoking cigarettes because you inhale smoke. But, marijuana itself doesn't kill, it's the smoke. If you ingest marijuana, it can't kill you.

Good straw man argument Nobody is berating you for not being a stoner. You're being called out because you're an idiot spreading false information and being argumentative despite the fact that you're 100% wrong. Go brush up on your facts and work on your debating skills.

Based solely on this comment, I'm going to assume weed impairs your grammatical abilities.

Only in some places.

"so stfu", a very convincing end argument.

Not as bad as your grammar.

Stop being so fucking ignorant. Pot CAN kill you. It has FOUR times more cancer-causing chemicals then cigarettes do. And when you're "high" you could do some fucked shit that could get you killed. You can get metal disorders from smoking it. which could lead to suicide. You can have a heart attack from smoking it. You can get anxiety from smoking it, which can lead to suicide. I should know. My best friend died from it.

(WhenAll.I.Wanted): Your friend dying is a rare case and that is not how pot is for everyone, its stupid when people made assupmtions based on a single experience-it probly wasnt even pot the directly did it. Inhaling smoke isnt good for you, but there ARE studdies showing that it has LESS carcinogens than cigarettes and are substantially less risky. You ONLY get mental disorders if you are GENETICALLY PREDISPOSED TO THEM. You are not gonna automatically have anxiety if you smoke, my friend had anxiety/schizophrenia (she will always have the genes) BEFORE smoking pot-she went OFF medication when she started smoking pot. Your friend probably had more problems than just getting high. Oh yeah and high people are not that stupid, a drunk person is far more likely to get themselves killed doing something stupid-and you can actually drink yourself to death. I should know, a guy at my school drank an entire bottle of whiskey in a minute-45 minutes later he wasnt breathing.

(WhenAll.I.Wanted): I know if he was smoking weed he probly wouldnt have done that with the whiskey and not died. My friends first year at college-she knew a girl that was so drunk she got raped and didnt even fucking realize it. At least when you smoke weed, you do have your wits about you and you do not lose control of yourself. If she was high, she wouldnt have been raped.

I've been so high I couldn't stop laughing and didn't know how I got home (that was when I first started smoking, I don't laugh uncontrollably anymore), so no, you don't always have your wits about you. Even just being kinda stoned I can't make word choice very well, my reaction time is slow, and I'm easily distracted. And you can't just say if she was high, she wouldn't have been raped. You don't know that.

by Anonymous 11 years ago

Pot cannot kill you. That's a fact. If it does, then why has nobody ever gotten cancer as a result of use? When you're "high", your sense of danger isn't all that altered. It doesn't put in your head what isn't already there. If someone gets a mental disorder from cannabis, they were predisposed to it and very likely to get it. Not unless you are already bordering on having a heart attack. I've never heard of anyone committing suicide because of anxiety caused by cannabis. I highly doubt that. I doubt that more than any other claim I've read on this site.

Weed isn't some miracle drug but I think it's way better for society than alcohol. Like everything, weed has positive and negative aspects. I consider myself to be in the middle. I hate annoying stoners and I hate people who don't question Above The Influence commercials or their teachers when it comes to weed.

by Anonymous 11 years ago

I'm going to say that they're both pretty bad, but it's worse to be addicted to drugs (just my opinion) because it's illegal in most cases, whereas there aren't any laws against alcoholism (in the USA that is). I have very strong feelings against alcohol and drugs, and don't think it's worth it to use either of them.

by Anonymous 11 years ago

For the record, alcohol is a drug.

Very true, I only worded it like that because of the way this post was worded.

Learn about marijuana before you base opinion on it. Someone probably told you some junk when you were younger and t's one of those things that you just never let go of. I'm sure people your age back in the 1800s thought that slavery was perfectly fine, and if you tried to convince them otherwise they'd say the same thing you are. Just don't be so quick to jump to conclusions.

by Anonymous 11 years ago

You're making it sound like I was making some big statement, but all I was saying was that I don't plan on ever using it.

And also, please notice that I said "drugs", not just marijuana.

Alcohol is the third leading cause of death in the United States, and cannabis has never killed anybody in all the world, ever. Drunk driving is one of the leading causes of motor vehicle accidents, and it's been proven that cannabis doesn't impair your driving nearly as much as alcohol does. Alcohol is responsible for a large majority of murder and assault. Most cops will tell you they've never been called to arrest someone for being violent under the affects of cannabis. Cannabis-only users have never had cancer linked to it, and alcohol causes a wide variety of different cancers. No amount of cannabis use has ever been linked to any side effects, period. Moderate alcohol use causes damage to every system in the body. I don't see how this is even up for fucking debate.

I've never had marijuana poisoning. :/

I hate it when stoners call people ignorant for saying that weed is bad for you and then they start talking about how there are no negative effects and nobody has died from it. I smoke weed and here is what I can say from my experience: While marijuana is not nearly as toxic as cigarettes, any smoke in your lungs is harmful, period. Also when you're high you THINK you're in total control of everything, but weed DOES affect your judgement, there is no denying that. Because of this I honestly cannot kid myself into believing that nobody has gotten themself killed when under the influence. Basically I'm saying that marijuana can kill, so be responsible and smoke in a controlled environment. Don't drive while high either, even if you feel completely confident in yourself you're putting the lives of others in danger. Stop calling other ignorant and then spewing that "weed has never harmed anybody" bullshit. If you want weed to be legalized start behaving rationally, or nobody will take you seriously.
