FAKE NEWS
The one marked WEED is obviously 100% meth. Telltale scabs on face from constant uncontrollable picking.
Cannabis is actually good for people
yep!
Yeah, I found this elsewhere and only changed the last one,I actually thought the same thing but was like "Eh, it's just a silly meme thing"
It's a great meme. Ignore the noise.
Yea, but you've offended those who need mind altering chemicals in order to know what to do with themselves.
I, honest to God, never expected this to turn into a weed benefits/detriments discussion
In hindsight I should have probably changed the weed one to meth, but oh well shrugs
Oh, I knew it would be the second I saw that on the meme. These weed guys love their weed and seem to take it personally if one makes it out to be anything less than God's angel dust.
Agree with shrugs. I am not sure anyone here that matters would bust your chops. Made me think how I feel and that is Peanuts comic strip when Snoopy is groving, nose up smiling. Carry on and thank you.

I like your meme.
If there is one thing that will trigger 80% of GA its weed lol.
Yeah, like those selfish fucks that have cancer, pain, or insomnia.
Read it again. I'm not referring to medical uses. I'm referring to those who don't know what to do with themselves.
says the coffee and alcohol drinking hypocrite.
I drink neither.
Cannabis kills brain cells. It has its uses. But moderation and on an as needed basis. Toke all day and it will cause issues.
THC kills cancer cells. So, yeah, it has its uses.
Did I say to toke all day? Did anyone? Ever? Just curious.
Like I said it has its uses. Never said "WEED BAD DONT DO IT".
And I did not say YOU or anyone in particular WERE toking all day. Just a astatement that if someone does, it will take a toll on the body.
Spoken as someone who has no idea what they are talking about. It CAN stunt mental acuity if abused by kids-young adults. Kids shouldn't be near it in any case. After mid 20's, that effect has been proven to be drastically decreased. I do toke all day though, and it is prescribed and regulated, so I can say your knowledge is based on very cherry picked "facts".
Some do take recreationally. Not saying they don't have that right, as long as they don't bother anyone in their impairment and contain that stupid smell, but those that need mind altering chemicals just to pass a couple of spare hours I have trouble respecting.
You should try it. They slow down time for me. If anything, it's extending a couple hours.
Thought ivermectin did the same? But wait it doesn't get you high and alter your mind.
Cannabis has the same down regulated effects as opioids, or SSRIs. My patients who use for pain, a certain percentage, just like in opioids, after about a week they need to triple the initial amount taken.
Biology lesson: you have ten receptors before exogenous cannabis use, after you input exogenous versus your natural endogenous cannabinoids you lose 6 receptors as your body tries to equalize what’s normal.
So if you are an unlucky down regulator, and notice you need more and more to achieve the same benefits, I recommend taking weed breaks to offset the process and restore your receptors. No need to panic or quit.
If you do lose receptors the problem is you are now enjoying less benefit from cannabinoids than someone who has a healthy endogenous supply of endocannabinoids.
So at the end of a streak of heavy use, you have suboptimal results and your body has actually less of the substance you are trying to benefit from.
Two words: weed breaks
It does not kill brain cells, that was a study done on monkeys where they suffocated them with cannabis smoke coming through a mask and they lost brain cells from lack of oxygen.
This is one of the oldest and most common misconceptions about cannabis.
That's alcohol.
Incorrect. It slows the synapsis in your brain, often interpreted as "killing brain cells". In reality that's usually a result of heavy drug use, typically alcohol with the marijuana. Look at Willie Nelson and Snoop Dog. Neither are particularly stupid, but they both claim to smoke copious amounts daily.
Moderation is key as with anything. The stigma behind pot and all the claims of it's "effects" are mostly puritan propaganda and false which is ironic because there's nothing in the Bible that forbids weed.
I was surprised to learn marijuana a tuaaly grows more neural pathways in the brain...so that's a very good thing.
It does unlock perspective that otherwise wouldn't be found. There's a reason the government wanted it locked down. Too many people were getting along and resisting the military industrial complex's agenda.
While the hippies were by no means perfect, the propaganda to paint them in a negative light is painfully obvious.
Correct. To this day churches still use fear porn tactics on children to scare them with the existence of hell... Yet if you read Christ very closely, He kind of avoids details regarding hell... Almost as if that's not as important as teaching people to love one another.
Yeah. wtf is weed doing on there?
Hat tip:- They are all Meth except sweet as GA.
Cannabis that is bred for the highest THC levels, can cause psychosis and mental trauma in many people. This is not the mellow weed of decades ago. I believe it is still very important to those who are suffering with serious disease. I am a huge CBD advocate, for many reasons. One thing you can thank Sessions for is The Farm Bill he passed, legalizing Hemp under .3 percent thc. The cannabinoids and variety of turpenes are very beneficial without the high. Hemp has a spectacular history and future. If others are into turbo THC weed, no problem for me, but designer ultra thc-bombs can cause mental disturbances unlike weed 50-20 years ago. Not here to judge if that is your thing, but I know that hat cannabis is a medicine, not a drug for a high.
many = subjective, vague
In 45 years around it I've never met one person who suffered psychosis or mental trauma from cannabis; maybe from not being able to score any (jk :)
OK as an opinion, but factually incorrect. It is consumed as both.
True, it is both a medicine and a substance for getting high. Unlike you, I have known people who have developed/enhanced psychosis through regular use of ultra THC marijuana.
As I said in my post, I am all for it, and federal legalization, it is a very healing plant, but it is not completely harmless and these new high octane THC breeds can and do bring on psychotic episodes in certain people. Since many people are literal morons, the nanny feds will cater to them. If the THC levels are prominently printed on the product, as in legalized states, there is no problem. My point stands, however, that ultra high THC can and does cause adverse issues in some people.
