| 1374705 | 2014-05-12 00:08:00 | any and all health risks of smoking weed are assoicated with the act of smoking, not weed itself. juice the plant material and drink it daily. pills derived from weed are dangerous and lack many of the beneficial properties in a misguided effort to eliminate the high. it woudl be like making morphine that doesnt get the patient wasted, its half the point. |

| 1374707 | 2014-05-12 02:48:00 | If it ever does get legalized I bet with in 12 months 3News and the like will be covering the placard waving locals on South Auckland pleading with the Government to make it illegal again.. | paulw (1826) | ||
| 1374708 | 2014-05-12 05:22:00 | I do think it should be legal....if alcohol is, then this stuff causes far less social problems and far less medical ones too. I personally take neither of them (or any other drugs) but I agree. Since alcohol is legal then on the basis of health effects I see no logical reason why cannabis should not be, as far as I know its effects are not as bad. People who want to take drugs do anyway regardless of legality, the best thing to do is advise people not to, explain the effects and why they may be bad for them and so forth, but at the end of the day it's their choice to take them if they wish, hopefully in an educated and responsible way (ie: don't take drugs and drive etc) - and NEVER try to force it onto anyone else. If someone chooses to sit at home and smoke weed I have no problem with that. Also not my problem if it rots their brain cells out, though hopefully they realise it's probably a bad idea before then. If they get in a car while high and run someone over or something, then it's a problem. Otherwise, why worry? |

| 1374709 | 2014-05-12 12:14:00 | It's a plant that contains a drug, naturally occurring or manufactured a drug is still a drug. Many medicines are extracted from plants . Hemp products such as rope and paper are made from a variety of the plant that has very low levels of THC and is not practical to get high from. I'm not aware of it's disease preventative abilities , I know it's useful for treating some things but you need to have them first so that's not prevention. If this is true I'm sure the medical benefits are being considered somewhere. hemp products can be made from any strain of the plant, low thc breeds are used because those in power are afraid. it is prevention, you being unaware does not negate this truth. sugar is a drug. red meat is a drug. Overall I'm still yet to see any semi-decent argument _for_ it.vimeo.com watch a well produced documentary if you have doubts or watch reefer madness and cartoon all stars to the rescue if you want to feel good about your false beliefs. reefer madness www.youtube.com cartoon all stars to the rescue www.youtube.com my IQ is 154, im not affected by group think. those synthetics were an alright diversion in a literal pinch, just like a few shots of alcohol. weed is something i could however happily smoke several times a day all year long AND NOT GET THE COLD. yeah, never got the cold while smoking weed. got it plenty of times before and since. weed is yummy, the taste is really nice. i like eating it (people around me always tell me not too "its a waste". i like drinking fresh bong water, it tastes like coffee (COFFEE IS YET ANOTHER DRUG). i dont expect anyone to care about what i have to say, i just need to say it. have a great life, legalise what more than 10% of the population is clearly going to do regardless of legality and divert the absurd costs of prohibition to something more practical. good day to you all good lords and ladies. |

| 1374710 | 2014-05-12 13:03:00 | First off I don't care if they legalise it, and I don't care if you smoke it. No skin off my nose. If you said "I smoke weed and I see nothing wrong with it and I want it legalised" I'd accept your opinion and not argue, although I'd choose differently for myself. That said I do disagree with most of what you posted and it just looks like an foolish attempt to justify a drug habit rather than a serious argument. I'm giving up now, it's obvious you have the blinkers on and are happy with your wonder drug but here's my last comments for your perusal. hemp products can be made from any strain of the plant, low thc breeds are used because those in power are afraid. Actually because they are selected for the best properties for the purpose and because low THC strains aren't likely to be stolen for other purposes, no fear involved just common sense it is prevention, you being unaware does not negate this truth. You making statements about your beliefs without backup is not truth either, show us it prevents something or give it up. my IQ is 154, Nobody cares what your IQ is or what you claim it is AND NOT GET THE COLD. yeah, never got the cold while smoking weed. got it plenty of times before and since. That statement is so ludicrous it calls into question your so called IQ, weed does not prevent or cure the common cold, you like to ask for proof - your turn to provide some and no 1 personal experience of circumstantial evidence proves nothing, we need controlled studies of a large sample size. i dont expect anyone to care about what i have to say, i just need to say it. Well mission accomplished. have a great life, legalise what more than 10% of the population is clearly going to do regardless of legality and divert the absurd costs of prohibition to something more practical. good day to you all good lords and ladies.

Sugar and meat are not drugs and do not make you high. So what, my IQ was around the 150 mark last time it was tested, it's meaningless........it marks you on how good you are at those sort of tests. Having a good academic ability does not prevent you from being an idiot, and does not correspond to being competent in all areas. You have not got a cold because you were not in contact long enough to be overwhelmed by the viruses. It has nothing to do with your drug. You think all the researchers out there just missed it, did you? They'd be raking in the money if there was a viable cure or preventative for virus infections. If people want to smoke it, or eat it, or jam it up their backside, I don't care, but it is laughable to justify it with ridiculous claims. |

| 1374712 | 2014-05-12 22:08:00 | - lets see,booze & tobacco are legal & they cause all sorts of issues through misuse . Lets not add another drug to our list of legal drug problems - as noted above, making one drug legal HAS NEVER stopped the misuse of other drugs (eg party pills) - most of the arguments for legalization , are really just clutching at straws to try & make its use seem more socially acceptable. - Ive known plenty of guys with SERIOUS Cannabis addictions . Saying its harmless is just BS - Cannabis miss-use can contribute to serious metal health issues (Ive seen that with people Ive known) - the effects on memory are well known - make it legal will have one big effect. It will be cheaper & easier for teenagers to get & abuse If it was legal in my school days, many at my school would have been using all the time. Making it harder to get makes it harder to abuse. Same with all drugs. it is so easy to grow at home now,yet most users cant get their act together to even do that. Its the drug of apathy |

| 1374713 | 2014-05-12 23:31:00 | Whilst I can’t speak first-hand about Cannabis, I can state categorically, by way of observation, that on their own there seems to be little difference in effect between Alcohol and Cannabis. BUT, mix the two and things quickly turn to custard, if you get my drift. On that score alone I couldn’t justify legalising cannabis unless via prescription. :2cents: |
