I'm glad we're on the same page Zed. If there are any truly unbiased sources who are truly educated on the real dangers of marijuana its rehab counselors who deal almost solely with those who have addictive personalities.

I think I've already covered Wikipedia. Why don't you get a real source, like the United States Government.

What I don't want to see is legalized pot, then have nationalized healthcare. Pot has 20 times the tar then cigarettes. Shit is nasty.

I heard it was eleventy billion times as much tar as cigarettes actually.

STFU HIPPIE. Its obvious to everyone here that you're stoned as cheech right the fuck now. Go up to any police officer in uniform and show him a sack of pot while trying to feed him the same bullshit you're spewing here on the forum. See if he tells you that pot isn't bad.

The federal government would be terrified to take on Alaska, and I don't think Alaska is heavily dependent on the federal government for much of anything. They could lose their "bridge to no where" but I doubt most Alaskan citizens could really give a fuck about that. Alaska is just too seperated from the nation for the federal government to have any real policing power over it.

I do remember a kid in my speech class at school giving a presentation on legalizing marijuana. It was the funniest fucking speech I ever heard in my life. He gave out flyers on how to grow it and everything. "Ya know, like pot shoudl be legal because it can solve ALL (he said ALL) of our problems. We wouldn't have a deficit if pot was legal because it's a billion dollar industry". I wish I recorded it, because it was that funny. He had sources like "high times" and "Legalize it".

thought the natural nicotine that was in tobacco was removed in the drying process and had to be added somewhere along the line when they made the cigarettes.

GTFO!!! Really? Shit people really do have a right to sue the tobacco industry if that is true. They purposely put an addictive substance in cigarettes to keep you coming back! Wow! Why haven't I seen those dorks from TRUTH dancing and singing about that shit!!!

The study was commissioned by the government, so there's a lot of tap-dancing as they try to keep up a good facade on the official statements, in order to "toe the line" on the desired official stance...but if you're paying attention, the study is rather clear.

The government has studied cannabis extensively, with at least three major studies...and each time, the answer comes back "officially undesirable", in that it has repeatedly been proven to be not only completely safe, but in many ways even therapeutic, offering a number of health benefits.

It helps nerve regeneration, helps prevent the onset of Alzheimers, and fights a number of cancers, even attacking brain tumors.

Some of the many medicinal applications are listed here:
