I am NOT trying to start a debate on whether it should be legal or not.
I am NOT presenting my opinion on the matter.
I ask that no one provide their own opinion on the matter so this stays as factual as possible.
I simply want some answers to a few questions about Marijuana.
1. Is it true common cigarettes are worse for your body then marijuana?
2. What are the actual, not over dramatized effect it has on the body/mind?
3. I have heard you can not overdose on marijuana due to it being smoked, not taken into your system by other means. Is this true?
4. Along with it having such medical effects as being able to prolong a cancer patients life, is it true that it can be used as a viable source of fuel?
Mods/Admins, I know political debates are off limits, and I imagine if this thread gets to popular it might just turn into one. I have no problem with this being locked, by i request that you wait for it to get 2-3 replies so to give my fellow floodians a chance to respond with an appropriate answer. If that is not possible I understand.
I would also just like to note it is almost impossible to find unbiased facts about this subject through google.
lol, this thread will get locked.
1) Any smoke is bad for your lungs, but marijuana is typically better than tobacco. In the UK, most joints are rolled with tobacco into 'splifs.' I understand that's not so common in the US though, so don't worry too much about it. Ultimately you'll be smoking joints far less frequently than you would cigarettes, so as long as you take it easy you shouldn't see any negative health effects. Bear in mind consistent usage can cause some issues with short term memory, and long term it can lead to an increased risk of developing schizophrenia. If you only smoke every now and then though, you'll probably be okay.
2) Everyone experiences it differently. I know people who get incredibly focused when high, and they'll start playing guitar or writing. Personally, it knocks me out; I'll just sit down, everything will go hazy and it's an effort to socialise for me. In terms of body, sensation's increased for me. Everything I touch feels more visceral, food tastes incredible and so on. It can make your mouth really dry, so make sure to drink plenty of water when you're on a bifta.
3) Yes, you cannot overdose on marijuana. But you can whitey out if you smoke too much, and trust me - it's not fun. So take it easy, especially your first few times. Just take a few drags and make sure you eat/drink plenty before you smoke.
4) Weird question. Yes, it's a viable biofuel. But it's seldom used as one, for obvious reasons.
Be careful if you're planning to smoke, make sure you do it with people you can trust - you don't want people being dicks when you're high for the first time. Have fun, it's an enjoyable experience.
