QUIT SMOKING DOPE -- SAFE YOURSELF BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE

Hey man ! Don't be silly! I know that everyday smoking can cause troubles in the mind...but if it's just a part of the weekend relax what's the problem with it?

What a bunch of horse shit. Cannabis use does not induce mental illness, it may however aggravate certain conditions, as increased anxiety is a common side-effect of the drug. Also, many studies have indicated that marijuana is actually a natural anti-depressant.

The drug warriors love to talk about "the new potency."

The problem with this argument is that while new strains of cannabis are developed all the time, many with very high potency the truth is that the higher the potency the LESS that must be smoked to achieve the same results, and thus the less smoke going into the lungs.

The main problem with cannabis smoking is the act of smoking and the effect on the lungs not the amount of cannabinoids in the plant.

For example, a huge spliff with shwag grade cannabis gives the same amount of cannabinoids as does a high grade cannabis taken in only one hit.

High potency cannabis is good if you are looking to reduce harm to the lungs in the form of smoking.

I've been smoking weed *fairly* regulary for over 15 years and I can't say I've suffered any mental health side effects whatsoever.

The thing to remember about weed is that like alchohol - either use it wisely or it will end up using you - too many people use weed and alchohol, ( or any drug for that matter ), as a "crutch" and depend on it to solve all the problems in their life rather than put a bit of effort and dicipline into solving them themselves.

Long live the herb
