No way man

With no offense intended to my fine fellow cannabis consuming brethren, I'll just say that any web forum that caters to "stoners" will have a dozen Lorens for every Barman

Make of that analogy what you will.....heh

You should have played along Barman. We'd have bullied Wil into a big raise.

Haha, can you imagine the site owner over there after you get the job.

Barman: Hey, where's my money?
Owner: Sorry man [lights J, coughs], I couldn't get to the bank. You know I'm good for it dude.

California residents living in any of the major population centers are at far more risk breathing outside air for an hour than they are from smoking a dozen doobies a day for life

Obviously not true...but kind of funny when known Dems reject the science on the subject. You know...like you accused Bush of doing. :103631605

HealthDay

FRIDAY, June 19 (HealthDay News) -- The smoke from cannabis, the plant from which marijuana is derived, contains compounds that can damage DNA and increase the risk of cancer just like tobacco smoke, says a new study from the United Kingdom.
In laboratory tests, Rajinder Singh from the University of Leicester and colleagues found certain carcinogens in cannabis smoke in amounts 50 percent greater than those found in tobacco smoke. They noted that light cannabis use could possibly prove to be even more damaging because cannabis smokers usually inhale more deeply than cigarette smokers.
"The smoking of three to four cannabis cigarettes a day is associated with the same degree of damage to bronchial mucus membranes as 20 or more tobacco cigarettes a day," the researchers noted in a news release from the university.
The research was based on tests using a new highly sensitive liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method to analyze the cannabis smoke. It looked specifically at acetaldehyde -- a suspected cancer-causing chemical known to affect human DNA that is found in both kinds of smoke.
"These results provide evidence for the DNA-damaging potential of cannabis smoke, implying that the consumption of cannabis cigarettes may be detrimental to human health with the possibility to initiate cancer development," the researchers concluded in their report, published in the June 15 issue of Chemical Research in Toxicology.

Really!!
You can eat enough brownies to die of a sugar/calorie overdose.
Considering the countless people that have died fron alcohol overdoses(legal) and NOBODY has ever died of a pot O.D.
Well, then you hid it well.

Well said!

Now, as soon as we find an actual case of cancer in a human being that was caused by cannabis consumption, then we've got a story!

Shouldn't be that hard since an estimated 100 million currently living Americans have smoked marijuana in their lifetimes with some 25 to 40 million being regular users at this time.

We'll reset our happy support for California (the home of wacky environmental warnings) to mandate that cannabis dispensaries with 10 or more employees post warning signs in their facilities.

I recommend six foot letters in bright red font

IF YOU SMOKE MARIJUANA YOU COULD POSSIBLY GET CANCER AND DIE!!!!!

And then have brochures for Barman's Volcano Vaporizer Distributors on a table right below the sign....yeah...that's the ticket

Whatever it takes to peaceably expand legal access to marijuana for adults who want it is okey dokey by me.

Now that you mention it...it coincides very well with the puzzling increase in cancer by the baby boomers over previous generations.

And by the way...no proof needed.

All we need is the hint of "scientific studies" and scary headlines....the left wingers taught us that with the global warming "scare" ...uh hem...."science".

Select rationalization on politico forums is so 'effin fun to watch. !~~~!

Certainly not for creating a new "sign" regulation.

As long as they're just guessing at "possiblys" and "could bes" and "mays", I think that those most concerned about this matter (who I'm guessing are likely 100% non-consumers of cannabis) should just really get it out there.

Hang giant posters of the William Randolph Hearst produced Reefer Madness posters in all the state legal dispensaries.

Show black men becoming homicidal after smoking pot and then raping white women.

Have posted warnings that tell males who smoke pot that they have a "possible" chance of growing female-sized breasts.

And require all dispensaries to have a video playing a non-stop loop of all the ONDCP-sponsored reefer madness television spots from the past 20 years. Make sure and include the one where the teenage boy smokes a joint, then picks up a loaded handgun off the kitchen table, points it at his friend's face and pulls the trigger.

It's all good. Just stop impeding adult Americans from having reasonable access to their desired medicines.

Which thankfully, is what's happening in California since 1996 and with increasing availability now that President Obama has ordered the DEA to cease and desist with harrassing medical marijuana dispensaries which comply with state laws and regulations.

Careful Tide. Barman has super mod powers. In a flash he can change your name to rolladoobie.

I don't believe for a second that there are 25 million regular
pot users in the US.

One of the most unfortunate consequences of a policy of Prohibition is that such information is impossible to quantify with reasonable accuracy. Normal polling methods are irreparably skewed when the respondent must acknowledge committing a criminal offense if they answer Yes to the question. Add in the potential risks of losing jobs, housing or your children when admitting to the use of illicit substances and sadly we can only get a thumbnail guess at how many people use (or do not) marijuana and other illegal drugs.

From the NHS of 2005, we get these numbers, from which I personally extrapolate "last year" to be a grudging admission of more frequent use, but the respondent wants to kayfabe in what we've come to reefer to as "Clinton-style" response to the question of "Do you ever use marijuana?"

All other forms of guessing these numbers are anecdotal and far less scientific.

One of my favorites was the honest accounting done by a friend who during the early 1990s operated a car detailing service in downtown Dallas. His bays were set up in a large parking garage used collectively by three major office buildings.

Over a four year period he did business with over 600 different vehicles used by various people who worked in those buildings.

On average, one in six or seven had direct evidence of marijuana use within their vehicles. Most common were roaches in the ashtrays, followed by actual small bags of pot in the glovebox, or rolling papers, clips, pipes etc stashed out of normal sight lines.

In my own anecdotal analysis, I've been wearing a gold pot leaf on a chain that is almost always visible for the past six years. It of course receives a variety of reactions from my customers and from general encounters with other peop

Smoking pot probably causes problems, and maybe ingestion could too. But, to what extent compared to other things we use and do?

Not alot of pot users get high and say " Lets jump in the car and go 80MPH and find some people to beat up."

More like, pass the chips and turn up the volume on The Simpsons..............I don't feel like going out tonight.

All the potheads I know smoke less now or not at all, compared to when they were younger.

I would say 25 percent maybe a low number. There are many people that smoke pot that are not your typical stoners that lead productive lives from soccer moms to teachers to firemen etc. They are just not out in the open and if you don't smoke it you would never know, they are not out in the open about it and if they know you don't par take they will never bring it up for fear of being judged. Its a real same that a person in this country can go drink a 12 pack in front of their kids and its no big deal and accepted while if that same person smoked a joint (behind close doors0 and then is around their kids they are considered a bad parent. Who do you think will act better around their kids the parent that is laughing or the parent falling down and slurring their words. sorry about the rant
