What?! Are they mental?

Someone should arrest those absolute nitwits and fast...charge them with criminal stupidity or something i don't care, but they need a boot up the backside, and removed from any form of power or control over the public immediately!

Seriously.

'Cooking hashish'? Do they even realise what hash is? Hash is cannabis resin/oil glands, simply separated from the leaves, flowers and stems of the plant, and pressed and formed into a solid block once enough of these tiny glands have been gathered.

There's no 'cooking' required..no chemicals...no dangerous fumes or toxins generated or required.

Hash is cannabis..'marijuana' is cannabis..both come from the same plant, and is the same component that get's you high.

Cannabis.


The people living in that state need to remove these very dangerous and probably mentally damaged idiots as fast as they possibly can.

Well if you are not ready for the Plan at the bottom of my posts, you will be soon. As the strangle hold of the Empire grows ever tighter around the throat of the spirit of freedom within man, he will eventually find the will to resist.

What is your breaking point? When will enough be enough for you?

Ah, anything to keep the heat off of the Mexican Drug Gangs. Yup, we're so much safer now!

I live in Oklahoma and I can say this state is ridiculously backwards. Cockfighting is still legal, tattoos just became legal a few years ago, and there is an insane number of churches compared to the population, there are two on my street within fifty feet of my house and seven that I can recall off the top of my head within a single square mile of my house and I'm in a small residential area. I've seen places where there are three to four churches at an intersection. Who needs that many churches? This state is a cesspool. That's why there aren't any natural lakes, because people aren't meant to live here. You want to know why so many natives were herded here? Because literally anywhere in America is better. Sorry to go off on a rant for a second there, but living with an absurd state government like this really grinds my gears. I've tried to talk my wife into moving away but she doesn't want to leave her job or family behind. Oh well, guess I'll go grab a cold one and relax...oh wait the only thing I can get here is three point piss beer...

I think the time has come that we start not only voicing our opinion but organizing to demonstrate exactly what that opinion means, only by banding together in a show of physical and peaceful but obstructive protest will our voices be heard by the tyrannical government that has become the united states.

I will refuse to capitalize in any form the country because it is no longer run by the people for the people, the country is run to best collect tax dollars that the majority of the citizens do not approve of nor want and that in and of itself constitutes tyranny.

No wonder so many other countries hate us, we are the the laughing stock of the world because we live in blind ignorance and half truths, we allow ourselves a wide berth in irony, double speak and Hippocratic nonsense that only makes any reasonable sense to the masses who are too caught up in there daily rat like life to see any bigger picture around them.

The biggest danger to americans are other well fed, well entertained americans that will fight to the death to protect there right to order dominoes pizza every Friday night.......

I hear ya brother!

I just wanna get off this nuthouse planet...i've had enough of it to last a couple of lifetimes.

What these morons making these unbelievably idiotic (criminally so, i'd say) laws, don't seem to have the grey matter to comprehend...is that 'Cannabis Oil' takes *MUCH MORE PROCESSING* to actually produce the *OIL* from the natural Cannabis plant, than *MAKING HASH DOES*!

Wow...these people really don't have the first idea what they're talking about, yet propose to lock people up for the rest of their lives for smoking...a plant?

Cannabis OIL production requires chemical solvents and 'cooking' to produce the OIL...yet, HASH does not!

The article states that 'HASHISH' made from 'marijuana' or 'marijuana *OIL*, is subject to the life imprisonment outrage...yet *OIL* takes much chemical processing and cooking to make, whereas HASH does not...my advice?
Ditch hash, and everyone smoke herbal or go through the chemical cooking route and make Cannabis oil instead.

I cannot understand why you people vote in these dumb nutjobs to positions of power over you?

These topics really die quick, I wonder how many of these people are in prison JUST for weed.
I can only imagine how messed up their lives are.

dont really understand how throwing people is prison for life is going to help anything, just ends up costing more for the prison system. what a bunch of clowns, who the hell elects these people

Unbelievable. Is this some sick joke? Is the world designed just for me like in the Truman Show, and are the people behind it just pulling my strings, and making this country as idiotic and pathetic as possible, just to stress me out and piss me off? This country is so backwards....How is it physically possible for people to be so ignorant and unintelligent?

fluoride in the water and and lady gaga on tv

It is amazing how ignorant people are about drugs. In this video, not one person in the whole program knows they are singing about pot.

I guess all you up in arms over this seem to forget that this stuff is ILLEGAL...
I would assume its life because this stuff CAN KILL others, esp kids who ingested it...but I guess thats okay, you all gotta get your high, right, even if it destroys others....

You sir, are ignorant and wrong. Prepare to be pwned in 3....2....1...

There is not a single recorded death of a cannabis overdose, and not a single reported case of lung cancer in a cannabis only smoker. Smoking weed does not kill brain cells, but instead promotes the growth of brain cells, and it is in reality one of the most least harmful substances known to man. Water is more dangerous than cannabis. The medicinal benefits of cannabis greatly outweigh those of any natural plant, it can be used to treat symptoms that follow chemotherapy, bulimia, anorexia, depression, glaucoma, insomnia, it slows AIDS wasting, it drastically reduces muscle spasms in people with MS, it helps people with chronic pain who cannot sleep at night actually get some rest, and the list goes on. Even pregnant women can safely smoke cannabis without the risk of any birth defects in their children. Smoking weed does however limit a persons short term memory while they are under the influence, which is the only real "danger" or health risk that results from it's use, but compare that to blacking out and forgetting the entire night from the legal alcohol, and it does not seem bad at all.

On top of that, the industrial/agricultural benefits of the hemp variety of the cannabis plant are astounding. There are over 25,000 industrial uses of the cannabis plant. A bio diesel fuel made from the hemp plant emits 80% less CO2 than fossil fuels, which generates less greenhouse gases and does not cause acid rain thus slowing global warming. Hemp fuel is found to be 10x less toxic than salt, and is as biodegradable as sugar. 1 acre of usable hemp fiber is equal to the usable fiber of 4 acres of trees or 2 acres of cotton. Not only can hemp yield four times of an average forest, but a hemp crop can be harvested in only 90 days compared to an average of 25 years for a forest. Processing hemp fiber for paper and cloth does not require chlorine that produces diotoxins as it does with wood or cotton fiber. The paper industry is currently the worlds 3rd largest polluter, so making the switch to hemp fiber would help cut back on pollution. The hemp plant also can be grown without fertilizer, compared to 50% of the worlds chemical pesticides being used on cotton fields. It also replenishes the soil with nitrogen and nutrients, increases the topsoil in the area, and restores the health and fertility of the soil. Hemp produces stronger fibers than almost any other plant, and can be recycled many more times than other products. And finally, hemp oil is the worlds richest known source of polyunsaturated essential fatty acids, which help to control our cholesterol, artery blockage, and strengthen the immune system.

Sadly, none of these potential uses will be utilized because a harmless plant is currently illegal, and labeled a Schedule I drug which supposedly has "no accepted medical use", which is about as wrong as it gets. Here's the real kicker, industrial hemp cannot get a person high because it contains so little THC, but 99% of the cannabis plants being eradicated by the federal government at taxpayer expense is this variety of the cannabis plant which cannot get a person high.

If you would take the time out of your day to actually research a topic and find out the information on your own, as opposed to eating spoonfuls of lies and biased propaganda which don't even remotely reflect factual information, then coming onto here and condescending us even though you are completely wrong in every way, then I would not be calling you ignorant.

Compare the legal drugs tobacco and alcohol, which annually kill around half a million people, to the illegal cannabis, which has not killed a single person in the history of time, and you see just what kind of a hypocritical country we live in. I don't blame you for your lack of knowledge though, because being raised in a society filled with people who believe what any AboveTheInfluence commercial or DARE program will tell them is the problem. At least we live in America where we have the opportunity to come onto the internet and learn some real facts.

I see, I guess BRUCE LEE didnt die from potent Hashish....Link

Some negative effects:
reduced levels of male & female hormone
damage to sperm or menstrual cycles
temporary loss of fertility in men and women
addiction
loss of motivation clinically referred to as , "Amotivational syndrome" (this loss of interest in motivation to work, attend school, loss of interest in sports, family, etc can also just be a symptom of drug addiction in general)
lung damage, cancer, bronchitis
lowered ability to deal with frustration and other unpleasant feelings
decrease of immunity against infection
interferes with emotional growth and the personality development of adolescents

I'm sorry, I don't buy that only THC killed him. There had to have been some other factors that led to his death, because only THC, even if its 100% THC, is not lethal and I do not buy that any of the symptoms named in the article were caused by THC.

From the article:

It's neurological side effects are nightmarish, and contains over 4,000 chemical compounds, any one of which, his central nervous system could build up a sensitivity to, and so highly toxic, cerebral edema, kidney/ adrenal failure, vomiting, convulsions, cardiac arrest/coma and death is the result.

None of those side effects come from cannabis, this article is complete BS, and it's just filled with lies. It makes the claim that any of the 4,000 chemical compounds can cause those things, which is a total lie. That alone erases whatever credibility the author of that article has. If anything is damaging from the hash, it's the sloppy method of some sketchy goons producing it, which could leave plastic and other nasty things in it. If cannabis was decriminalized and regulated, this carelessness would be avoided because you would not be sold hash which contains plastic and glass shards or whatever dangerous things may be in there at a legitimate dispensary. But the natural, organic compounds of the cannabis plant, causing cardiac arrest or kidney failure? No way, Jose, you could never get me to believe that lie.

Most of the "negative effects" you posted are either slanted or just plain wrong.

-Cannabis does not lower hormone levels in both men or women, a recent study done by Dr. Robert Block at the University of Iowa disproved that longstanding misconception.

-Cannabis is not physically addicting, the worst withdrawal symptoms being irritability and restlessness, which are no worse than those of caffeine withdrawal. The majority of people that are said to be in treatment centers for cannabis addiction are actually there as a result of their agreement within a Diversion or Probation program, or because their parents are just plain stupid and force them to go against their will.

-"Amotivational syndrome" is such a joke, if a person is lazy, they are lazy, and blaming that on cannabis is irresponsible and ignorant. If a person is stupid, they are stupid. Among working adults, cannabis users are actually more successful, and among college students, there is no significant difference between performance of cannabis users/non-users. Cannabis can be used as a motivator as well, a person can go to school, perform well, and work out afterwords, using cannabis as a reward for their hard work at the end of the day. However, not all cannabis users are this responsible, but even heavy users who are high all day still can be role models (aside from the whole breaking the law aspect, lol), I know some dude who is high more than he is sober, and he just got a scholarship to LSU, plays on the successful lacrosse team in our town, gets good grades, and has lots of friends. My point is that smoking cannabis does not affect a persons motivation, a persons motivation affects their motivation, however idiotic and redundant that may sound.

-Lung damage? Come on dude, there is not a single reported case of lung cancer from a cannabis smoker, and it is used to treat symptoms that result from cancer and chemotherapy to treat cancer. What doctor would prescribe something that causes cancer to treat cancer? In fact a recent 2009 study found that moderate cannabis use reduces the risk of head and neck cancer. And I think you have bronchitis mixed up with chronchitis, the stoner equivalent of bronchitis which results from smoking lots of chronic. It's basically a cough with some gunk in your throat, but that's only if you are a serious smoker who gets down to business if you know what I mean. Heavy cigarette smokers may have smokers cough, and heavy cannabis smokers may have chronchitis.

-Lowered ability to deal with frustration or unpleasant feelings? Man you cannabis opponents really grasp at straws. It's hard to respond to such a lame "negative effect", this just sounds like one of those straight from AboveTheInfluence "facts" that are hard to argue with because there's really no studies to disprove such an outrageous claim. If anything, its use lowers frustration or unpleasant feelings altogether, ask a cannabis user and they will probably agree with that. Lowered ability to deal with them? More like you're in a good mood and you don't focus on being frustrated about little things that don't matter, so I guess in a way you're not dealing with frustration or negative feelings, you're living, thinking, and feeling more positive. Is that a bad thing? I don't think so.

-Decrease of immunity against infections is another outright lie, evidence has shown that cannabis use strengthens the immune system. Cannabis strengthens the endocannabanoid system, which is the primary regulating system for all other systems in the body, respiratory, immune, digestive, etc.

-Interferes with emotional growth and the personality of adolescents: Another really lame "negative effect" that is hard to argue with, it's not like I can get inside of the minds of cannabis users and judge their emotional growth. But this comes back to the whole aspect of thinking more positively and not being angry, sad, or frustrated as often, so in a way this may be true as well but it could be a positive effect just as well as a negative effect.

-Damage to sperm: I've been finding articles that say it does damage sperm, and articles that say it does not damage sperm, so I'm on the fence about this one. But I'm incredibly biased so I don't believe it for a second, although I could be wrong here.

I really thought this was blatant sarcasm until I saw the next couple of posts. LOL.

Do you also recommend life in a cage for alcohol producers, which is a drug which actually kills people (not just pretend kills like THC)? If not, why? Would love to hear a response to this but sadly I think I'll be disappointed.

One guy did die from hashish. He ate almost a pound of it and it clogged up his stomach causing his death. This is the only death ever from pot or hash. As far as the negative effects of it, they are very minimal. Please do not spread misinformation.

THC is the active ingredient that prevents cancer. Can it kill you? Well I imagine you'd die stuffing a 1000 hotdogs in you too. So I suggest no one be stupid.
