No doubt it's addicting but my mom and dad both quit cold turkey. Sadly to say it was after my dad got lung cancer. I've tried pretty much everything and I guess I just don't have the addictive personality. I've never found anything I couldn't stop. When I was in high school I smoked cigarettes for a time, marijuana, a few other drugs but I never found anything I couldn't live w/out.Dave2 wrote:Ever been around someone trying to quit?pcgizzmo wrote:The same can be said for cigarettes even except they don't affect your mental state.

Re: Oregon LEO's at odds w/medical pot users having CHL's.
LOL, I'm not really disagreeing that it affects mental state. Although that mental state might be to eat more food. I'm just trying to say that it's really no more and maybe less harmful than alchohol. I agree w/the above posters that say it's about control.blackmesa wrote:Being shot with a 30-30 is no more harmful and probably less harmful than being shot with a 30-06.pcgizzmo wrote:I'm sure during prohibition people said the same things some here are saying.

If marijuana does affect mental state, then the Oregon LEOs have a valid point about carrying a gun under the influence.
On the other hand, if marijuana doesn't affect mental state, pot smokers are wasting their money.

I'm sure during prohibition people said the same things some here are saying. Marijuana is no more harmful and probably less harmful than alcohol.

Re: Oregon LEO's at odds w/medical pot users having CHL's.
The whole drugs vs. alcohol thing is a scam. Alcohol kills many people and can be just as addicting as some drugs. The same can be said for cigarettes even except they don't affect your mental state. That being said we allow it because the companies that produce them spend ton's of money on advertising, lobbying and taxes. I'm all for legalizing, marijuana and taxing the hell out of it. It's no worse than alcohol and possibly better. No one ever died that I know of from eating to many brownies.
Also, it does have a legitimate use in cancer patients and those that for whatever reason have no appetite and are wasting. It's also been studied in glaucoma patients and found to be helpful.
