I agree with you. I would rather have people smoke pot then drink beer and that stuff. Personally I think it is up to the person, and no one should put them down for that. Maybe all the people that look down upon people that smoke pot should try it sometimes to relax alittle bit and clear their minds. Also to get the sticks out of their butts and live once in awhile. I say do what makes you happy even if the government doesn't like it =). **Katherine**  |

LOL!!!! uhh..i don't know what kind of potheads YOU know, but my best friend is...was..is...was...i dunno, lol..and he's the LAZIEST person i know. i doubt the pot did that to him, though. i agree with you here for the most part. i think it's cool if you do it once in a while- nothing is good if you let it control your life. money, shopping, drugs, TV, etc. and i HOPE that pacific soul person is joking because i found that comment extremely rude...and i think also that they need to read the post before they comment because you said you think it's dumb therefore, i HIGHLY doubt you are a "pothead". *rolls eyes* yeah, i think something's up that person's....butt...lol.  |

Its not scientifically proven that pot kills brain cells. And even if it did, it wouldnt be from the plant itself it would be from the chemicals some drug lords put in the weed to keep the drug sniffin dogs from smelling the weed. I could be wrong. But, there is nothing wrong with potheads. |

Yo,
WHERE DID YOU GET YOUR FACTS? Sorry...but people can and HAVE died from smoking marijuana...that IS a fact. Yes it kills brain cells...you say your intelligence comes back after you quit smoking? Hmmmm...interesting...what about loss of short term memory? That I'm afraid doesn't come back so easily...for the area of the brain that deals with short term memory is not so regenerative as the rest of that grey matter in your head. Lung cancer...heard of that? Yes...tobacco kills FAR more through lung cancer...but sorry...dope does too. Then there are other effects that pot can trigger...it has been known to trigger heart failure, unconsciousness which has led to brain damage...it has been known to spur off latent mental illnesses such as Drug Induced Psychosis, Schizophrenia and various mood disorders. Then of course ya get the many people who are killed every year through the illegal trade of it. So dope is harmless you say? Not so. But then again...there are so many other harmful substances around that ARE legal...I will grant you that...but don't fall in the all that pot propoganda of 'Its Harmless...no one has ever died from it'...maybe those people just forgot...seeing as how it affects short term memory and all *smile* Peace,  |

I dont know. If everything in this post is true, then my perspective has changed. If things aren't totally true, then my perspective hasn't changed much. I still think that you should not have to take a drug to feel good about yourself, unless it is an antidepressant prescribed by a doctor. That's JMO though.  |

Okay. First off, I agree with what you say to some extent. About why the government made it illegal, I'm not so sure. Now, I don't smoke pot myself. I used to, but I didn't like the way it was affecting me. Want to find out just where "potheads" stand? Go to http://norml.org/. I hope this doesn't break any USM rules. If so, please delete me.  |

The Government made it illegal so that the cotton farmers could take over, simple as that..... read your stuff! (that is to author 19384) THC has beneficial properties as well.  |

the only problem I have with them is the fact that when people are high, they do stupid things. I have seen it happen over and over again and I hate it. I used to smoke weed and I quit, because it was messing up my life royally. It is because of personal reasons that I dont associate or talk to pot heads.  |

Pot IS addictive, but only psychologically. never puked, never had a bad physical reaction, but i can get upset in mood and mind if I'm out. i started 10 years ago and luckily i've got enough brain cells to lose quite a few and still be doing better than fine *-) it makes me calm and relaxed..focuses me. and the ones that smoke pot that i know can all afford it - would never steal. you'd be amazed how many business professionals smoke that you'd never suspect by the look of them 8-) - daijha - there ARE lots of computer people that smoke - i'm one and i know MANY others.  |

Potheads don't bother me none. I'm kinda neutral on this subject. One thing I do believe though...it does have long-term effects. Such as memory loss, mood disorders, paranoia & anxieties. Maybe not right away, but in the long run it will catch up w/ you.  |

I have to agree with you. Many of my friends are as you say "potheads". Marijuana is an herb, and it works very well for pain relief and nausea. It can be made into many other useful products as well. To look at my friends who use it, one would never guess that they do. One is a very good lawyer, one writes programs for computers, one is in a political position. They are wonderful people who go to work every day and pay their taxes and bills on time. I think it should be legalized. The government puts it in the same class of dangerous drugs such as heroin and cocaine, and that is just plain wrong.  |

The name and termonology "Pot Head" is such a misnomer. Do we call people who drink beer, "Beer Heads?" What about those who chose to smoke cigarettes...well ok "Butt Heads." Early in the last century all drugs were legal but alcohol was not. The movie "Fantasia" was designed, scripted and assembled by a person who enjoyed his opium, it is told. Many, many of the folks from that time frame talk about the "bathtub Gin" home-made beer and home-made wine. Stills are in existance today. Once alcohol was legalized, drugs were outlawed. This included the "Coke" in Coke, "it's the real thing". The drug movement went on to include the drug "LSD" which was made by the government and given to humans to watch responses. The drug, at that time was legal. Once the government realized that LSD was being utilized by the "Hippy Movement" for entertainment purposes, it too was put on the list of drugs considered illegal. The medical uses of marajuana are well-founded. It helps people who are suffering from pain, chemotherapy, eye problems, etc. In an effort to clear up some confusion as to which is worse: When did you last hear of a person on marajuana speeding down the highway causing severe injury to others in head-on crashes? Those smoking are usually sitting at the red stop sign (I said sign) waiting for it to turn green! ...xtra...  |

Pot is addictive. I know a lot of people who smoke dope. And I could care less. Its their choice, and I think that "potheads" are more preferable to hang out with, rather than drunks. I dont like to smoke it, it makes me paranoid, hungry and tired.  |

uh, Hairbear, are you sure they were addicted to pot, and not heroin. Pot doesn't have anywith drawls (and trust me on this one, I was the biggest cronic pot head). Maybe they were on crack. Those withdrawls sound like heroin withdrawl... (seriously). -Kitsune  |
