Theo · 08-02-2005, 04:48 PM

I'm curious to find out.

Interesting info about marijuana

http://www.theantidrug.com/drug_info...lthhazards.asp

Now let's see about tobacco

SmokeyTheBear · 08-02-2005, 05:00 PM

It used to be a law that you HAD to grow weed..

nico-t · 08-02-2005, 05:03 PM

" Apart from its use in tobacco products, nicotine is a scheduled poison under the State Poisons Act."

never knew this!

budz · 08-02-2005, 05:03 PM

a hemp resurgence in the thirties would certainly have been a serious threat to Dupont's petro-chemical strategies.

or its just a conspiracy against me :p

just the green ;)

sounds like noone here has watched the weed documentary done by woody harrelson. Some 30's hipocrate decided that the drug made you go crazy and depicted it somehow to being violent. That theory has still yet to be proven, as never in the history of the drug has a death been directly or inderectly caused by the "use" of mary jane.

legalize weed and it would be a rocking party.

hehe.. i only smoke cigs, not much a day though.. quit the weed cuz it seemed like i got some natural aversion of it..
btw some ppl dont know this about marijuana, also in the marijuana article posted:
" Regardless of the THC content, the amount of tar inhaled by marijuana smokers and the level of carbon monoxide absorbed are three to five times greater than among tobacco smokers. "
note: ^^^that didnt stop me form smoking it by the way it was purely my own body reaction to it why i dont smoke it no more

QuaWee · 08-02-2005, 05:20 PM

I dont smoke period. What is the fascination with weed?

Bake · 08-02-2005, 05:42 PM

Hemp and cotton where once big rivals the man who invented the cotton gin and cotton growers got together and got it baned.
During WW2 it made a comeback and farmers where asked to grow it to make rope for the war.

reed_4 · 08-02-2005, 08:40 PM

weeds are only for those who are depressed people.

weed was banned because it spammed another board.

i know, that was dumb.. but that woody harrelson thing was cool. it was funny to see the different propoganda the government used as one theory after another was proven wrong.

I don't now about the US, but in Canada it was marijuana was made illegal in 1923 if I am correct

do some reading..

superior pulp & paper products ..

You can build houses from hemp that wont catch fire.

I know a guy who makes industrial bricks from hemp , and it beats concrete bricks by a mile ( and cheap too )

Holds more weight , lighter , cheaper, stronger.. and on and on..

There's a million reasons why you should be fascinated by marijuana.

Imagine everything you can think of made of wood, now imagine never needing to chop another tree down because it can all be made from marijuana.

I'm rolling a joint now, but that's not entirely true. They grow trees, for wood. Marijuana plants are plants too. Is it bad to plant and kill them? We have lots of trees.

I agree there are plenty of other uses, but it would be silly to stop cutting trees!

They dont grow trees.. trees grow by themselves..

They dont use man grown trees yet because they take older real trees. Planted trees are useless twigs.. Trees are only renewable if you selective log. It doesnt work if you plant them.. You get matchsticks that way..

Marijuana takes less than a year to grow and doesn't require selctive harvesting..

We dont have lots of trees. If we cut them as fast for the next 100 years as we did for the last 100 years we will have 0 trees left..

Hemp can be used for much wood uses and almost all grades of paper. The actual benefit is that the hemp is replacable at a rate many times faster than trees.

do you have any clue what it takes to turn a plant into paper or do you just think you're funny? do you think someone wants to get high so they can spend days turning a weed into paper so they don't have to spend 4 bucks for a ream of printer paper?

They used it mostly to control the mexican immigrants that were workign in feilds. They were smoking weed after work and they wanted to have more control over them so they made it illegal . They said it made them go crazy and kill people mostly.

The theory about hemp/coton beeing rivals is probably the real reason thought ...

I saw a whole 2 hours documentary about history of marijuana and why it's illegal, how it happened and everything ... they showed anti drugs spots ... parts movies where a kid smoked weed and became crazy and stuff like that . Really a big conspiracy

cachondo · 08-03-2005, 06:07 AM

legalize now!

There are other real rape drugs, but GHB is used as a recreational drug arround here . And they are still calling it the "rape" drug.

Growing hemp and growing weed are two seperate things really. Hemp will litterally grow in nearly any soil type, in nearly any climate, and with little to no fertilization. It will also produce two or more crops per year.

Requires no more real work turning wood into paper as it does hemp. Both use the same process.

Tsk Tsk Smokey, you have fallen for tree hugger mythology.
Aside from selective logging, the majority of US tree production and harvesting is done from planted tree generations.
Also currently we have as much forest in this country as we did 100 years ago. Yes we may have less old growth than before but tree wise we actually have more. We can still cut as fast as we have been due to proper management that has been practiced for years and not lower nor deplete our forest levels.
