You still don't get it, do you?

Never mind. Have fun with all the hate. This is just entertainment for me at this stage, watching you stress yourself out and get progressively nuttier. Oh the irony.

You should smoke a joint :joker::joker::joker:.

Can we just put the studies and statistics aside for a minute please? Lets just think about our own life experiences for minute, how many people do you personally know whose lives have been destroyed by Smoking Marijuana?? I don't know any. How many people do you know personally whose lives have been destroyed by alcohol?? 2 spring to mind for me- My 28 year old cousin, a qualified dentist, lost her job because of alcoholism and last year threw herself into a river and died. My husbands mother was killed in a car accident when my husband was 13, the cause? A drunk priest driving on the wrong side of the road.

I'm not saying drink should be banned but to me if you are going to condem smoking marijuana then you should do the same for alcohol!

He doesn't get it at all. Laughable really.

This little snippet illustrates the point we were trying to make about cannabis and how the ratio of it's active compounds is crucial in understanding and controlling it's effects. Once theirs monitoring and an element of control in the production of the drug, the mental problems that you love to associate with the drug will disappear.

Hmmm... Haven't I already erm... posted something about this. Erm a few pages back. OH you missed it yes. LOL You would have done.

Here's the crux ok? If you remove the sedating qualities of Marijuana (which cause Psychosis by the way and all the problems) then Marijuana has no drug like qualities at all. It has some medicinal qualities but it doesn't give you a buzz.

Do you understand that?

Oh and by the way evidence of this are in the links I am about to post again.

Can you counter argue them? No, because you're not smart enough.

Have you counter argued yet?

Don't worry, I'll repost it again.

PMSL

I have counter argued you about 20 times in this thread and you're still living in this bizarre delusion of self importance.

I have given you answers and facts and clear stats to the problems with this drug. Oddly you don't see that.

Denial. Denial. Denial. Dangerous thing.

Facts speak louder than arrogance.

You just don't understand and also can't comprehend academic texts so all you have to say is

''Pro Cannabis drug dealers'' LOL what a gimp.

If a poll was created to see if people knew more people affected by alcohol or by cannabis, and if Cannabis won, I would eat my hat, s*** it back out, and eat again again.

Something tells me you know very, very little people MassiveTruck. And hey, you already showed you are willing to lie and bullshit. Not knowing how much the average person smokes, not knowing the difference beteen important compounds, not knowing how much weed a plant would yield. Thinking at the start of the argument Cannabis the drug and Hemp the plant were two different things. Not understanding the simple ratio difference of people affected negatively by Cannabis versus those who smoke and lead normal, healthy lives, as well as those in prison.

Really, what I am trying to get at, is you are an incredibly thick person :).

More people drink alcohol. Less people smoke Cannabis. Regular smokers is 30,000 in the UK.

How many drink alcohol? Almost every adult in a country of 60 million.

I know more people messed up with Cannabis due to work and I know the stats, the academics, the education and the surveys and studies because of this. It's common knowledge to me. Ratio to ratio I would say more people are utterly messed up due to Cannabis due to pro-morbid and pre-morbid effects of the drug - meaning one spliff triggers off a neurological change and affects thought patterns. Obviously regular usage makes things worse.

I've backed this all up with Science and stats on here.

All I have in response are videos of a show on BBC Comic channel and pathetic videos made by stoners on Youtube?

This is a joke. Counter arguing cold hard facts with Stoners posting videos on Youtube.

Idiotic.

PMSL comparing Alcohol drunk by most of the country to Cannabis, a regularly used drug by 30k in the country.

People who advocate are gimps bub. That's obvious.

LOOK AT THE STATS! ACCEPT FAILURE!

Have you counter argued the stats and facts?

I'll speak in Chav

Is you looking at dem links like and have yous worked out you is wrong like?

Don't give me stoner vids from Youtube.

Speak academically. Give me the facts to counter argue the masses of data I have given you. Don't talk this nonsense when you can't counter argue.

Be truthful. Be honest. Basically admit that you can't understand cold hard science. You can't understand facts.

You know, you are a stoner and you are inconsiderate and cruel to the people suffering from smoking cannabis but at least take a leap of faith and deal with facts for once instead of your need to smoke something so you don't have to move for hours on end.

Here is a clue by the way - If I don't want to move for hours on end, I just use my mind - but I guess that's just the difference between my strength of character and experience of life and the lack in yours.

Niamh. 30-09-2009 04:22 PM

Massive -

I really don't want to get into an agrument with stats and studies and all that, from what I can see there is plenty to back up either side of the argument. And to be quite honest I don't know anything about it, I won't try to bluff, lol!!!

However as I've said, from my own personal life experiences and people I've known, I have never come across anyone whose life has been ruined by Marijuana where as I have come across plenty whose have been seriously messed up and in some cases destroyed due to alcohol.

I do know plenty of people who do both, by the way. Like I said this is just my own experiences but I still stand by the thought the the majority of people would have had similar!

MassiveTruck 30-09-2009 04:24 PM

ALL THE STUFF THAT PROBE EIGHT AND SETANTA CANNOT COUNTER ARGUE BECAUSE THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND ACADEMIC TEXTS AND COMPLEX SYNTAX
 
Here you go. Counter argue these.

I have posted studies - the height of your intelligence is posting videos uploaded by Stoners on Youtube. Well done.

Now - welcome to the big leagues.


Let's see if after asking for the 50th time you can counter argue all of this.


Here we go again - part 50. Let's see if you can do it. :thumbs:


[rquote=2608376&tid=147499&author=MassiveTruck]Let me start by saying, if you accept my view on things, fine, I will disappear.

If you abuse and insult and make out you know better without evidence, then I will return.

Well I don't know if it's your lack of knowledge, your ignorance to facts or your inability to answer and respond to questions that makes me laugh or in fact the videos you post from the pro cannabis council - or maybe it's your need to hurl insults and abuse that makes me laugh a lot.

For instance Probe Eight, you basically repeat yourself about he same thing. It can be responded with the simple answer as -

it's propoganda you're posting that has no relevance to the global problem and ignores it as well.

Those videos for instance. They are biassed. You do know that all those pro-cannabis websites don't have an iota of evidence for what they say.

While Setanta you think that if you put yourself forward as smart or intelligent then you can get away from answering questions, mainly by belittling the person you are responding to.

You seem to think the mental health problem is due to hydroponics but that's not true either because most people take Cannabis for it's high THC content and therefore need these types of strains to feel sedated and basically escape from their lives. All Cannabis has these problems (see small number of links below)

You do know that Portugal only legalised drugs because of the massive drug problem they had (which was causing problems for the economy) so they decided to tax insurance companies and create rehab treatment and other ventures to make money from addicts. People in rehab in Portugal is through the roof by the way - and this due to decriminalising of drugs - so it makes it easier to be an addict? Get it.

Portugal has stopped targeting drug dealers and instead just shove people into rehab. They are still there, it's just their life is easier - which... erm... is what I just told you? Yeah.

Please, join the dots. It's not hard.



I mean seriously, criminals will disappear because users will buy their stock from shops... erm... yeah... that will happen, I am sure... if you're naive that is. Wow...!

Anyway, cutting a long story short... I might as well just post some links for you to respond to.

Before you read them, realise that some people, in fact the vast majority of people have a life and they don't need drugs and you forget about the peopel who have families, friends and health systems who have to struggle due to drugs.

Go for it. It's liberty isn't it - not mine but at least I care. That's the difference between me and you.

Reply to these. Enjoy.

Maybe go to California, and take the Cannabis straight out of the hands of people suffering from a range of ailments, whose only grace and relief is Cannabis. Go on. Save the world. You hero, you.

I am not responsible for people smoking Cannabis going insane. The fact is, and make no mistake about it, this is a fact, anybody who wants Cannabis can get it. It's not hard. So make it legal, make it safer, and make it cleaner.

In addition to failing to respond to the actual FACT I had laid out that stated more people benefit from Cannabis, even on a recreational basis, than suffer from it, you also just provided an argument for legalization. Shot in the foot. Well done.

But wait ... whats this ... you think people would STILL risk going to dealers for cheaper Cannabis when they could GROW IT FOR FREE?

Says it all.

All chronic users suffer from life long problems by the way. But you chose to ignore that.
Yes. Because it is not a verified scientific fact. ALL users? Bit of a bold claim, even by your standards.

BUT here is what kills poor old MassiveTruck off...

Quote:

You should really consider reading up on CBD, Cannabidiols, Canniboids and also THC too. Really know the difference man. Seriously.
CBD is Cannabidiol. THC and CBD are both Cannabinoids [as opposed to 'Canniboids']. Yet you mention all three as being EXCLUSIVE of one another. You really have no idea, do you?

Quote:

The lack of THC and the higher the CBD - means no sedation.
Wrong. High CBD creates Indica strains of the plant. Known for a high sedation and body stone. As opposed to Sativa strains where THC is more dominant, characterized by a more 'trippy' head high.

There are strains of Cannabis out there that provide no sedation at all. But what does it matter. You had no idea what CBD was to begin with, considering you mentioned it separately to both Cannabidiol and a Cannabinoid, even though CBD IS Cannabidiol and Cannabidiol IS A CANNABINOID.

And then you tell ME in the same sentence you formed around your errors to read up on it?

Your dead in the water. Post all the meaningless s*** you want back. Rational people still know a legal Cannabis market is safer than an illegal one. The amount of people who develop problems from Cannabis is a tiny fraction of the overall userbase. Most of these problems come from Cannabis that could be ended if it were made legal. A ****ing meerkat could understand that logic.

Enough of this mess. I am no longer wasting time arguing with a bully who loves to goad others into arguments to then make them feel terrible about themselves. Your remarks about sedation, THC and the other components of Cannabis prove to me you have no idea what you are talking about and you are currently in the process of schooling yourself about Cannabis just to make some people feel terrible about themselves.

So go ahead, post ANYTHING you like back. It matters not. Not after this...

Quote:

So we have four separate things, all of which I should know the difference between?

Now, over to your precious Wikipedia...

Oh dear me! Your cover has just been blown! Post back with what you like, wind up merchant, but you have NO idea what you are talking about! Why should anybody bother to reply to your points? Your finished!

LOL! Now thats put me in the mood for a smoke!

[/rquote]


Hmm... You actually think people will grow enough Cannabis for themselves? That's illogical and not possible... That's why crime will rise 10 fold without it.

How many plants for how many spliffs? Do you see how it's impossible?

This is why crime will rise as crime (with the evidence I have shown you) has risen in Portugal, Canada, US and all across Europe to traffic in drugs to countries where it is legal...

Yeah? Come on...

I have given evidence for this but you're trying to make out there is truth to this.

I would love to know if you can actually reply to everything I posted instead of manipulating tit bits to make it sound like I got something wrong. Is that possible?

I mean, you just twisted something I said and said I was wrong (when I wasn't) and then said you're going to get a smoke.

Anywhere, here is a link regarding THC and the sedating effect to rubbish your misinformed view about sedation.

Enjoy... (I doubt)

This is from a BBC documentary. This is a showing a plant where they are removing "good products" from "certain cannabis plants" which have have Cannabinoid properties beneficial to medicinal gains.

You should really read up. READ UP... because in the real world, (away from the idiots writing on Wiki) people will laugh at you totally.

Read those links I posted. This is free advice. Nobody else will give it you.

Watch from 1:51 - this was on the BBC a while back

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oa6dX1Ok8rY&NR

Take note he talks about run of the mill Cannabis strains with anti-psychotic properties. Google this guy - he has studied Cannabis for years. Move on to where he is


Quote:

"as recreational cannabis plants are grown for higher THC content so their CBD content (medicinal properties!!!!) falls, simply because the plant is unable (operative word!!) to produce high level of both"
Read up.

Free advice. Because you haven't got a clue.

You have sidestepped a lot of what I have said and I have responded to you with evidence. Clear as it is.

Your views on California are flawed! Utterly.


[/rquote]

And...

[rquote=2610114&tid=147499&author=MassiveTruck]I've had enough.

There is evidence against everything you say.

You make out because Alcohol (which is legal, probably the reason why if you think about it) kills more people, then Cannabis should be legal.

No consideration for all the suicides, the terrorist opportunism and the countless problems with it.

Carry on.

If this is the beliefs you love. Enjoy.

Before I go - Some studies

Suicide and Cannabis by the way

http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/j...TRY=1&SRETRY=0

Oh and a twins study with cannabis and suicide

http://archpsyc.ama-assn.org/cgi/con...act/61/10/1026

I love this one

Quote:

Cannabis use, and particularly regular or heavy use, was associated with increased rates of a range of adjustment problems in adolescence/young adulthood-other illicit drug use, crime, depression and suicidal behaviours-with these adverse effects being most evident for school-aged regular users. The findings reinforce public health concerns about minimizing the use of cannabis among school-aged populations.
Oh erm... cannabinoids and suicide risk due to the endocannabinoid system - wow - it's in our brains already so it triggers suicide. WOW!

http://www.sciencedirect.com/science...c9ed575ac017af


Just before I go. You know, there are alike hundreds of studies like this. Studying suicide rates amongst cannabis users. Off the top of my head - that's like thousands, just for the studies. WOWZER!!!

Just a taster of what you're supporting.

[rquote=2610222&tid=147499&author=setanta]And you're still posting websites that I've already responded to, stating that of course young adults would be illequiped to deal with any type of drug and those studies also indicate that there's an awful lot of other factors involved, including genetic predisposition. What I'm basically trying to state is that we all realise that every type of drug can be abused and can have a terrible effect on the young and those who are susceptible to mental illness, but it's your hypocrisy that really is astounding considering that there are many drugs that are far more dangerous. I've already answered this!!

You just continue on your quest, without listening to or reading any other surveys that we've posted. And we're not on a mission to demonise other drugs here; just trying to have a balanced conversation here regarding the drug and yet you continue to post isolated incidents of acts of violence that sometimes have a tenuous link to cannabis. Should I post ones relating to alcohol? Or maybe eating disorders,etc? This is all about people having a choice and taking the power out of the criminals hands, so that the drug can be monitored, controlled and the quality of the product can be insured. [/rquote]

Surveys you've posted? What surveys?

Oh right... I get it, now you're lying in order to show people that you have actually posted something legible when you haven't posted anything legible at all.

Oh right... so you resort to lying (a bit like in the Muse thread as well..? Yeah? OK) in order to save face.

Counter argue what is written. I dare you, I double dare you.

Go for it.

Here are some facts for you to chew on.

http://www.idmu.co.uk/cannabis/canna...n-britain.html

Scroll down to Health Problems and you'll see the effect it has on 1 in 2 users of Cannabis. Regular users have regular problems with the drug.

Problems range from

Headache, Paranoia, Chest Problems, Panic Attacks, Anxiety, Psychosis, Apathy,

Running out (addiction) 6.3% of users suffer from this all the time, that is 1 in 20, 1 in 3 suffer from this more than occasionally).

Balance, Motor Skills (accidents) and Vomiting.

Now compare problems to frequency of use. You see a clear relationship that those who take it regularly have problems with the drug. In light of this every individual who takes it regularly has some problems with it on a regular basis BUT

They still take the drug.

Then you have the nerve, the audacity, the arrogance, the ego to say that, oh it's just kids oh it's just a few people, oh it's just the criminals. How dare you. How the hell dare you ignore all I have put forward and lie your way through everything you say to save face. Your position on this is null.

You have no grounds at all to counter argue - because you do not understand any of the stuff I posted.

That is the bottom line to this.

I posted numerous recent studies on suicide and mental illness, and you ignored it. The laughable factor is you try and save face by saying you know that it gets abused - well hey what genius - take a look at the statistics and look at the effects of the abuse.

You then have the pathetic nerve to say everybody will grow their plants in their home. If it's that cheap and convenient - why isn't everybody doing it now? Oh I guess you're going to say it's illegal - that was your excuse.

Christ you do make me laugh.

Like I said, and listen up clearly.

You don't have faith in the government when it's illegal but oddly, pathetically, laughably, you seem to have faith in the government when it is legal?


That has to be the most funniest contradiction ever. The most widely used drug in the country will lead to massive fashion to grow Marijuana in every household and criminals will disappear.
The naivety is insane

Anyway, just going to requote the stuff you haven't replied to yet, for your benefit.

Well done.


So there you have it. Statistical evidence against Marijuana legalisation.

It highlights how it is abused for medicinal purposes. Abused by people for medicinal purposes. The mental health problems for ALL EVERY user and a counter argument that is indeniable and completely breakable

IF YOU READ IT!!!

Deal with it but hey - everybody needs their something - even a bunch of losers who need Cannabis. WEll done this is your life. Don't know about music, don't know about drugs!

However as I've said, from my own personal life experiences and people I've known, I have never come across anyone whose life has been ruined by Marijuana where as I have come across plenty whose have been seriously messed up and in some cases destroyed due to alcohol.

I do know plenty of people who do both, by the way. Like I said this is just my own experiences but I still stand by the thought the the majority of people would have had similar![/rquote]

Alcohol can mess people up


So can Cannabis.

Which is worse? Cannabis due to the irreversibility and the clear undeniable effects on Neurology and the effect it is having the on the mental health systems around the world.

Something tells me you know very, very little people MassiveTruck. And hey, you already showed you are willing to lie and bullshit. Not knowing how much the average person smokes, not knowing the difference beteen important compounds, not knowing how much weed a plant would yield. Thinking at the start of the argument Cannabis the drug and Hemp the plant were two different things. Not understanding the simple ratio difference of people affected negatively by Cannabis versus those who smoke and lead normal, healthy lives, as well as those in prison.

Don't give me stoner vids from Youtube.

Speak academically. Give me the facts to counter argue the masses of data I have given you. Don't talk this nonsense when you can't counter argue.

Be truthful. Be honest. Basically admit that you can't understand cold hard science. You can't understand facts.

You know, you are a stoner and you are inconsiderate and cruel to the people suffering from smoking cannabis but at least take a leap of faith and deal with facts for once instead of your need to smoke something so you don't have to move for hours on end.

Here is a clue by the way - If I don't want to move for hours on end, I just use my mind - but I guess that's just the difference between my strength of character and experience of life and the lack in yours.

Since you love lying so much.

Since you try to deny you haven't read something and repeat yourself.

I'll help you out.

This isn't from the BBC COmedy channel by the way and it isn't a snippet so you can say things out of context and then shout "yeah man, I is watching the BBC Comedy channel i is man and like check dis like woman is like giggling like yeah man is good yaeh"

Real people. Real scientists. Real study. Remember to add this to the thousands of pieces of evidence in this thread I have rubbished you with and like I said

And all your surveys insisted that Marijuana itself isn't the cause of schitzophrenia; it can just aggravate anyone who has mental issues in the first place. The same can be said of all drugs and of many other things in life.

You want to know whats irreversible?

Death. Death is irreversible. There are thousands of people in padded rooms alive because they have aggravated mental health conditions by abusing Cannabis.
