Myths about marijuana usage.

Myth #1:
Marijuana is evil! It kills your motivation and makes you drop out of highschool!

Rebuttal:
Wrong. several of my friends frequently smoke marijuana, and their GPA's are well above 3.0.

Myth #2:
Okay, so it won't turn you into a highschool dropout, but it gives you diseases and stuff!

Rebuttal:

False. it is impossible to contract any sort of disease from marijuana usage. as a matter of fact, a study conducted in Harvard in 07' states that the THC in marijuana may curecancer.

Myth #3:
Ok, so it doesn't transform you into a highschool dropout with cancer like my parents say, but it most definitely kills your motivation! it's also addicting!

Rebuttal:
Yes and no. as with all things, it is important to understand self control. marijuana relaxes the mind and makes you sleepy; it wouldn't be smart to smoke right before a test or before playing a sport. furthermore, it is impossible to have a physical addiction to marijuana, since it has 0% nicotine. most people tend to smoke joints or bowls, healthy alternatives to "dutches", which are basically cigars containing all the nasty chemicals you don't want inside of you.

love and peace!

take out the marijuana pic.

Anyway,can we stop with this pro marijuana stuff??? It is a drug that is known as a starter drug. And although it is impossible to get "addicted" to it in the technical term, it is very possible for you to have a dependancy on it. Oh yeah, and it is unhealthy as hell unless you got really bad glaucoma or something.

I hear that in addition to curing cancer, it also does your laundry and makes you dinner.

It's not inspected by professionals so it could contain other more harmful or addicting drugs. It's not healthy for you.

It will make you rob a liqour store.

Marijuana in even small doses is way less healthier than soda is.

Are you encouraging me to smoke weed? I want a 3.0 GPA. I'm too stressed to sleep and do my work.

It's sad because this pot head in my class has good grades. He smells like weed all the time too.

Unless you actually post links to honorable sources on the matter, that aren't at the same time refuked by others, I'm not buying it. Bottom line, marijuana isn't good for you. It's impossible to argue that. What comes afterwards is just the other person's choice. Doesn't change that it's illegal in most countries, and I hope it stays that way.

How come there was no debunking of positive-myths for Marijuana? Such as it magically making you a master of the arts.

It's not that I'm saying he's necessarily lying, but that these things are being blown out of proportion. More likely than not, these studies usually end up being something like:

[Specific compound sometimes found in marijuana] can inhibit [certain behaviors of malignant tumors] in [specific types of cancers].

Which is a far cry from what it's usually presented at (of course, this goes for pretty much all science reported in the media).

You cant self control marijuana as easily. That is ridiculous to say something like that. Drugs stay in your system for months and does all type of damage to them.

Do you know what else they use to cure cancer? Nitrogen mustards. I'd have no problem with THC being used in cancer treatment but just because something is used as a treatment doesn't mean you should be taking it(when you don't have cancer).

that's funny, i didn't know marijuana caused obesity, kidney damage, and kidney stones. i thought it just made you all giggly. and what's healthier, drinking one soda every day, or smoking once per week? again, self control is key. whoever smokes 10 joints a day is an idiot.

But that dosage is still very terrible and it will stay in you system for months. And idk if you noticed, but there are an abundance of people who use it more than once a month.

You make a good point, but there have also been studies which have shown that tobacco smokers who smoke weed have less occurrences of cancer than those who only smoke tobacco. I'm not saying I believe it, but there is evidence for it.SeanDog123

There have also been studies which have shown that frequent users of marijuana have higher rates of testicular cancer than non-smokers. I'm not saying I believe it, but there is evidence for it.
