Marijuana: Dangerous or no?

im sick of every thread about something to do with pot turning into this discussion. so hence the thread about it. i know alot of you have alot to say.
i dont really think its more dangerous than alcohol. i mean millions die from drunk driving and other alcohol related incidents. but i recently saw this "pro pot legalization" pamphlet that said 0 have died from smoking pot. im not saying pot can cause deaths from fights over it, such as with small time gangs and dealers, im saying its just less dangerous and if it was legalized, at least for medicial reasons, it may be a good thing. im not denying the lung cancer thing though.

^same here.
but i definitely think that if pot is legalized, there should be age restrictions on it. using weed in your formatory stages can fuck shit up. it's been shown that it can lead to schizophrenia as well as depression, and if i'm remembering right, bipolarism.
in general, pot is delicious. i'm a fan.

Over the age of 21 most likely...
A LESSON FROM A HARDCORE SMOKER:
if your really hardcore you can just smoke out of your hands. make a loose fist but keep your fingers together and pack the entire empty space in the middle with herb. then open up your pinky finger enough so that the herb doesnt fall out but you can light it. then just breath in from the top hole and ull get mad respect -eastar5

Schizophrenia? That reminds me of an article on weed in a recent Rolling Stone. Our current drug czar and the biggest douche in the universe, John Walters, keeps on spouting bullshit about how it can lead to schizophrenia, suicide, and other ridiculous nonsense. Also he keeps on insisting that the government's all-out war on weed is working, because weed is a gateway drug. Doesn't anyone bother to think about the types of people who do things? I could say "statistics show that listening to Britney Spears leads to menstruation and the formation of mammary glands." Just because the majority of britney spears fans are young girls. Well, that doesn't mean theres a connection.
What I'm trying to say, is weed isn't the reason people do hard drugs, get depressed, or whatever. They'd do that anyways without it. But people who are predisposed to trying hard drugs or being depressed are more likely to try weed. They'd get depressed or do coke if weed didn't exist.

I agree. All you have to do is use a bit of logic... but governments aren't for promoting logical ideas... half of the laws make no sense... I think that in montana or wyoming LOLIPOPS are banned... you can go to jail for having one....

Word, heroin laced? What the hell were you thinking? That shit is deadly, and you have no idea how much is in the weed. Real stupid idea.
They lie about marijuana. Tell you pot smoking makes you unmotivated. Lie! When your high, you can do everything you can normaly, just as well. You just realize its not worth the fucking effort. There is a difference.-Bill Hicks

That probably isn't a true statement considering you're on NS.

so are you saying that the majority of people that are depressed use weed? or that the majority of people that use weed are depressed?
i was just saying that there was a study done that shows a correlation between many psychological disorders and those who smoked in their early teens. i know correlation doesn't prove causation, and that there could be another variable in there, but with as diverse a group as pot smokers are, it's hard to say there's one common trait causing this.

i dont even understand why people think weed's dangerous. it's not like you're gonna get killed by smoking weed. coke, heroin, even alcohol could be considered dangerous, but not weed.
physically, i dont think of weed as dangerous at all, i've seen no effects on myself, or many others.
psychologically, along with any other drug, is where it can affect you.

no ones as good as me, they just got better marketing schemes
