No you cannot. Do you even know what methadone is? It's a synthetic opiate analog that has nothing to do with THC. You can kill yourself with methadone but not with cannabis. I would like to see your so called source for all your so called facts.. It is a medicine not a harmful drug. Don't pull that argument on me, I do not believe in a god. It should be legal because it is SAFE. And it stimulates frontal lobe brain cell growth on top of anything. It does not cause you to lose any of your brain cells. If you want real unbiased answers go to abovetheignorance.org I refuse to read a propaganda website that lies.
Grow a brain yourself, learn some real facts.
But I completely against propaganda of any kind and the site does not have any on it whatsoever. So before you try to discredit me because you believe something is wrong, actually study a subject so you don't appear ignorant.
1) Sir Richard Branson(founder of Virgin Mobile)
2) Ted Turner(Turner Broadcasting)
3) Stephen King (successful writer)
4) Usain Bolt (olympic gold medalist for christ-sakes)
5) Bill Maher (tv personality)
6) Jeff Bridges (actor)
7) Barack Obama(in his younger days)
The list goes on and on. Just because society has attached a negative label on it does not make it true. You probably believe all muslims are extremists too. Please enlighten yourself with some information.

Click on the panels to see this information. Some people just choose to be blind to some facts. Besides his website is very untrusting because it also tells you how to get away with passing a drug test. Where's the honesty in this person now? How about you too? People will do anything to get away with illegal crap.
What you will also notice is that if one were to make a combined list of the negative effects of alcohol and cigarettes, it would be much much scarier than anything you will find about marijuana. There are plenty of dangerous and damaging things available for adults to legally do to themselves. What is it about marijuana that makes it cross the line into something which should be illegal? Did you know it was made illegal in 1939 after 60 seconds of debate in which certain Congressmen misunderstood or misrepresented the findings of the American Medical Association which concluded there was no reason for it to be illegal? Are we just keeping it illegal out of force of habit? What is it about a legal adult who is aware of the risks consuming cannibis doing so in their own home that you think should be the business of the police? How are they hurting their community (and be extra sure that if you answer, I couldn't say the same thing about alcohol or cigarettes)?

Actually, he couldn't. In order to consume a lethal dose of marijuana, you would need to consume anywhere between 1/3 your body weight to 1500 pounds in one sitting. If you're wondering why that is such a large range, it's because we really don't know what a lethal dose is, no one has ever been able to do it. The farthest they've been able to get from animal testing is that you could eat 46 pounds of properly prepared marijuana or 10 pounds of hash in one sitting and survive. We have no record, anywhere in the entire world, throughout all of modern or ancient medicine, of a single cannabis induced death. Neither in the long term nor in the short term. Even children's Tylenol and ibuprofen (motrin) don't have track records as good as weed. So no, it is not possible for him to smoke himself to death unless he manages to asphyxiate himself.
Whereas Alcohol kills 20,000 people in the U.S. per year just from alcohol poisoning, not including kidney failure or other health problems. And compared to what cigarettes do, alcohol barely even registers. These are numbers from government studies. Not rhetoric, not jargon, numbers. Numbers do not lie. The numbers clearly show that alcohol, cigarettes, even Tylenol are all more dangerous than marijuana. We have thousands of confirmed deaths from drugs, both legal and illegal, but not a single one of them is from cannabis. I am giving you an actual study by actual scientists with actual numbers funded by the U.S. government itself which backs up my claim. What is your response? I want something cited or you are wasting your time and mine.
Alcohol is legal but people cannot go to work "under the influence." Alcohol is legal but people cannot drive "under the influence."
Forget this "less than an ounce" BS. I can buy twenty gallons of liquor if I wish..but I cannot open it in my vehicle. Package marijuana sealed.......open container? "off to jail you go" GIVE EXTRA TIME FOR STUPIDITY.
Those of you who think it will not eventually be legalized are really "NON-THINKING INDIVIDUALS."
Assuming we will still have a free voting society in 20 years, who do you think will be running for office and voting those people in
and out of office?
I will tell you. The 65% shown above that are charged with a misdemeanor of "less than an ounce of marijuana."
I can legally make enough alcoholic beverage for my personal consumption right now, if I so desired. I don't so desire. So I pay taxes on my occasional six-pack.
Gambling was previously illegal. If someone gave you a winning scratch off ticket in a Christmas card worth $1000, what would you do?
A good preacher man would give 10% to the church as a tithe.....but most would have a little secret that their wife would not even know about. C'mon be honest, you know I am right.
You know anyone using the educational grants from Lotto revenue? That nasty old gambling money? Sure you do? Gambling is less sinful when it is laundered through the old 'Hope Grant Washing Machine', isn't it?
THINK. Put cocaine dealers and meth dealers in jail. Keep them there for my part. Legalize marijuana, tax it high, seal it tight.....Put the 'weed from the ground' money back in America, maybe we can manage that production without importing it from China.
What is wrong with that picture?
My thoughs are:
why is it any of our business if a person smokes a joint in the privacy of his/her own home. Im not condoning drinking and driving or smoking and driving. I am merely talking about the substance itself. Its none of our business. Our rights are not violated by someone doing such thing.
Furthermore, why does the govnt have it considered to be a higher class drug or a most dangerous drug yet they call it a gateway drug. How can a gateway drug be more dangerous drugs that it is so called opening the gates to. This govnt is so screwed up and backwards its unreal. There are more drugs in the US now since the war on drugs started than there ever has been. I think the govnt wants it like that. They make a bunch of money off of it and probably help get the stuff in here from other countries. I dont put anything past our govnt. PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!!
Marijuana also may affect your mental health. Studies show that early use may increase your risk of developing psychosis [a severe mental disorder in which there is a loss of contact with reality, including false ideas about what is happening (delusions) and seeing or hearing things that aren’t there (hallucinations)], particularly if you carry a genetic vulnerability to the disease. Also, rates of marijuana use are often higher in people with symptoms of depression or anxiety—but it is very difficult to determine which came first, so we don’t yet know whether they are causally related.
This is just what we need.... more uneducated mental nut jobs running around.
"For example, because marijuana affects brain function, your ability to do complex tasks could be compromised, as well as your pursuit of academic, athletic, or other life goals that require you to be 100 percent focused and alert."
Now remember how Micheal Phelps, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and 12 U.S. presidents (3 of whom also grew it) have smoked weed. Cannabis, like any other drug including alcohol, can have negative consequences when people lack self control. If an adult decides they want to nevertheless privately enjoy themselves this way, that's their prerogative, and I don't see what the government or police have to do with it. Legalizing weed doesn't force you to do it.
Don't use your name....use your name...who cares. But ditch anonymous. There are too many of you and watching you arguing with each other is like trying to untangle fishing line.
The Institute of Medicine published in its Mar. 1999 report titled "Marijuana and Medicine: Assessing the Science Base":"The cardiovascular changes [from marijuana use] have not posed a health problem for healthy, young users of marijuana or THC. However, such changes in heart rate and blood pressure could present a serious problem for older patients, especially those with coronary arterial or cerebrovascular disease.
Cardiovascular diseases are the leading causes of death in the United States (coronary heart disease is first; stroke is third), so any effect of marijuana use on cardiovascular disease could have a substantial impact on public health. The magnitude of the impact remains to be determined as chronic marijuana users from the late 1960s enter the age when coronary arterial and cerebrovascular diseases become common.
Smoking marijuana is also known to decrease maximal exercise performance. That, with the increased heart rate, could theoretically induce angina, so, this raises the possibility that patients with symptomatic coronary artery disease should be advised not to smoke marijuana, and THC might be contraindicated in patients with restricted cardiovascular function."

And for the person that keeps posting Anonymous we know you are he same person. It's amazing how much you can tell us about it but don't do the drug. I have to google this stuff to keep up with the crap you seem to pull out of your mind. My advice to you is to ride off into your delusional sunset and quite trying to make people believe it is safe.
And I have not reposted every single reply. A couple of redditors and myself have posted. Not everyone will buy into propaganda.
The are an accident waiting to happen or an injury waiting to happen.
Pot smokers are prone to cause injury to themselves or co-workers.
We can legalize it all we want but ask yourself this one question:
Would you let a pot head drive your kids to school everyday?
Would you go to sleep on a charter bus and let a pot head take you to a casino?
Would you trust a pot head with your valuable things?
We are just opening up a pandora box with legalizing this drug.
Would you let a drunk drive your kids to school everyday?
Would you go to sleep on a charter bus and let a drunk take you to a casino?
Would you trust a drunk with your valuable things?
We are just opening up a pandora box with legalizing this drug.
(see what I did there?)
(put the weed down?)
It will never be legalized.
"ADDICTED TO" is the biggest cop-out in America.
Thanking you in advance.
I truly want to know that answer from you if you do not mind.
Win-Win
LEGALIZE THE WEED!
Here's the conclusion from what I've read of the comments. We should legalize pot and make alcohol and cigarettes illegal !
On a personal level, the experiences that I have observed, as a family member, were not good. when comparing the early years to the latter, there is personality changes that the abuser takes on. I would compare it to the movie the bodysnatchers. Sometimes they are very happy and then they are dark.
They are always absent and not engaged in family bonding because they have to maintain that high. Those of us who do not smoke marijuana can see it and know that the abuser has checked out because of the pain that haven't been dealt with.
Tylenol has been proven to damage your liver. Advil, Aleive & Aspirin can damage your heart.
Aspirin can eat away your stomach lining.
Why aren't these outlawed??
If when you say whiskey you mean the devil's brew, the poison scourge, the bloody monster, that defiles innocence, dethrones reason, destroys the home, creates misery and poverty, yea, literally takes the bread from the mouths of little children; if you mean the evil drink that topples the Christian man and woman from the pinnacle of righteous, gracious living into the bottomless pit of degradation, and despair, and shame and helplessness, and hopelessness, then certainly I am against it.
But, if when you say whiskey you mean the oil of conversation, the philosophic wine, the ale that is consumed when good fellows get together, that puts a song in their hearts and laughter on their lips, and the warm glow of contentment in their eyes; if you mean Christmas cheer; if you mean the stimulating drink that puts the spring in the old gentleman's step on a frosty, crispy morning; if you mean the drink which enables a man to magnify his joy, and his happiness, and to forget, if only for a little while, life's great tragedies, and heartaches, and sorrows; if you mean that drink, the sale of which pours into our treasuries untold millions of dollars, which are used to provide tender care for our little crippled children, our blind, our deaf, our dumb, our pitiful aged and infirm; to build highways and hospitals and schools, then certainly I am for it.
This is my stand. I will not retreat from it. I will not compromise.
(A 1952 speech by Noah S. "Soggy" Sweat, Jr., a young lawmaker from the U.S. state of Mississippi, on the subject of whether Mississippi should continue to prohibit (which it did until 1966) or finally legalize alcoholic beverages.)
Dont trust me. Do the research yourselves. Its not addicting, and there is nothing to kicking the habit. You either do it or dont do it. No side affects what so ever. Dont do it and drive or operate machines at work but do it in the privacy of your home. Legalize it
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee
Little Jackie Paper loved that rascal Puff,
and brought him strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff. Oh
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee
Together they would travel on a boat with billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched on Puff's gigantic tail,
Noble kings and princes would bow whene'er they came,
Pirate ships would lower their flags when Puff roared out his name. Oh
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee
A dragon lives forever but not so little boys
Painted wings and giant rings make way for other toys.
One grey night it happened, Jackie Paper came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon, he ceased his fearless roar.
His head was bent in sorrow, green scales fell like rain,
Puff no longer went to play along the cherry lane.
Without his life-long friend, Puff could not be brave,
So Puff that mighty dragon sadly slipped into his cave. Oh
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea

I can pinpoint the exact moment this year when I finally admitted to myself that I had a problem. My love of “the taste of coffee” had extended at this point to a real need for the stuff. My taste evolved from decaffeinated filter to regular filter to powdered coffee to decaffeinated powder coffee to a little love affair with Turkish coffee…straight into the electric arms of espresso. It was a desperate moment, poignant and typical for most addicts who are hit with epiphany. The reality that I was addicted was equally opposed to my desire for the substance. I was, and am, stuck.
Just as any addict, I suppose, I am not ready to stop. Instead, I manage. I take a number of supplements to “off-set” the negative effects of over-stimulation:
a multivitamin
colostrum
vitamin C 500 mg.
a liquid multivitamin
When what I should REALLY be doing is to cut the habit completely. To eliminate the caffeine from my daily cycle of lows and highs. But, I need rewards in my life. At least for now. I rationalize that at least I’m not smoking cigarettes or drinking sugar drinks … but the reality is that caffeine plays a very important role in my life right.
Perhaps you’ve been able to shake the warm, steaming demon of coffee addiction. If so …how did you do it? And what do you recommend for others who want to kick the daily habit? Please let me know. Your feedback is most welcome.
The TV ads say 5-Hour Energy is quicker than coffee. At least the guy going to work seems pretty perky.
Of course the stuff tastes nasty and had caffiene too.
You will feel much better when you're off the stuff - and makes life easier when you aren't able to have your daily fix due to travel, illness or medical procedures.
