Does any one not do drugs

why do corporate drug tests only practically test for marijuana use, and not alchohol, or cocaine use (marijuana stays in the system for weeks, while alchol is undectecable hours after use, and cocaine days after)? its because we are a classist society, and big business' dont feel the need to test for alcohol because of the ridiculous ammount of money behind it, or cocaine because of its aristocratic ....? P.S. i'm drunk, but wish i was high. racist 2, mexico produces most of the weed, while who produces hops, n barley, and beer, white countries.
 
wow i'm ashamed of the skiing world i dont want to send a measage of "all skier's are hudge stoner's" but when skiing get's big i think thats were it's going to be
 
I just watched a documentary on the history channel about how weed became illegal. The government used false propaganda and education to trick america into thinking weed was an evil drug, when in fact, New York scientists found that it was not harmful whatsoever. Another example of the government corruption is that weed was legal under 1 ounce once, but you needed a stamp for it to be legal. The only way to get the stamp was to present the marijuana, but if you had weed to present then it was illegal because it didn't have a stamp. its fucked up. all you people that look down on weed are victims of government propaganda and have been tricked.
 
you ignorant fuck. THis was a history channel documentary. Its called hooked,illegal drugs: why they are illegal.
 
i do a lot of drugs, and I like them. People who hate on drugs have no idea, they should just mind thier own business.
 
how the hell is weed not harmfull whatsoever? its a fact that it screws you up. it may not do a ton, but it definatly has an effect.
 
please elaborate dumbshit, im sick of idiots like you saying oh it definitely messes you up, please show me some scientific evidence or even any evidence at all that backs up your bullshit claims, saying what you just said just proves your an ignorant bastard
 
so ur saying people that don't do it are idiots? i could say the same thing about people smoking, but i have nothing to back up why you do it. if you do it just because u like it, then do it. if u like it because u just wanna feel like a rebel to society, then u'd be an idiot.
 
heres some stuff i found

Effects on the Brain

Scientists have learned a great deal about how THC acts in the brain to produce its many effects. When someone smokes marijuana, THC rapidly passes from the lungs into the bloodstream, which carries the chemical to organs throughout the body, including the brain.

In the brain, THC connects to specific sites called cannabinoid receptors on nerve cells and influences the activity of those cells. Some brain areas have many cannabinoid receptors; others have few or none. Many cannabinoid receptors are found in the parts of the brain that influence pleasure, memory, thought, concentration, sensory and time perception, and coordinated movement(5).

The short-term effects of marijuana can include problems with memory and learning; distorted perception; difficulty in thinking and problem solving; loss of coordination; and increased heart rate. Research findings for long-term marijuana use indicate some changes in the brain similar to those seen after long-term use of other major drugs of abuse. For example, cannabinoid (THC or synthetic forms of THC) withdrawal in chronically exposed animals leads to an increase in the activation of the stress-response system(6) and changes in the activity of nerve cells containing dopamine(7). Dopamine neurons are involved in the regulation of motivation and reward, and are directly or indirectly affected by all drugs of abuse.

Effects on the Heart

One study has indicated that a user’s risk of heart attack more than quadruples in the first hour after smoking marijuana(8). The researchers suggest that such an effect might occur from marijuana’s effects on blood pressure and heart rate and reduced oxygen-carrying capacity of blood.

Effects on the Lungs

A study of 450 individuals found that people who smoke marijuana frequently but do not smoke tobacco have more health problems and miss more days of work than nonsmokers(9). Many of the extra sick days among the marijuana smokers in the study were for respiratory illnesses.

Even infrequent use can cause burning and stinging of the mouth and throat, often accompanied by a heavy cough. Someone who smokes marijuana regularly may have many of the same respiratory problems that tobacco smokers do, such as daily cough and phlegm production, more frequent acute chest illness, a heightened risk of lung infections, and a greater tendency to obstructed airways(10). Smoking marijuana increases the likelihood of developing cancer of the head or neck, and the more marijuana smoked the greater the increase(11). A study comparing 173 cancer patients and 176 healthy individuals produced strong evidence that marijuana smoking doubled or tripled the risk of these cancers.

Marijuana use also has the potential to promote cancer of the lungs and other parts of the respiratory tract because it contains irritants and carcinogens(12, 13). In fact, marijuana smoke contains 50 to 70 percent more carcinogenic hydrocarbons than does tobacco smoke(14). It also produces high levels of an enzyme that converts certain hydrocarbons into their carcinogenic form—levels that may accelerate the changes that ultimately produce malignant cells(15). Marijuana users usually inhale more deeply and hold their breath longer than tobacco smokers do, which increases the lungs’ exposure to carcinogenic smoke. These facts suggest that, puff for puff, smoking marijuana may increase the risk of cancer more than smoking tobacco.
 
Alright big man this is for smoking weed which can cause all this stuff but what if you eat it? None of that bad shit happens. THere's more to weed than smoking dumbass.
 
simply wating weed will only : increase heart rate(TEMPORARILY), make you paranoid, increase appetite, make you high. IF I get high I understand more when im learning, leading to abetter education. I took a practice psat and got like 50th percentile. I took the real psat high and got into the semifinals of the NMSQT's. explain that
 
when im blazed i notice little things in movies better. its good for english when i have to analyze movies and stuff. shit i should have blazed before i watched aliens.

to prove you are more aware of whats happening in movies, watch dark side of oz.
 
Give it up, he just showed you that the "evidence" you claimed to not exist, does. And you can't claim that getting high made you do better. The scientific method shows that in order for an experiment to be valid, the results HAVE to be able to be replicated. PLUS, THEY'RE NOT EVEN THE SAME TEST!!! Fucking moron.
 
I didn't say anything about eh evidence being false I said it was about smoking weed, which when burned, creates tars and other chemical compounds which are bad for you. IF you had read my thread I said that eating weed would be a different test, as the guy who posted this said it applies to all forms of ingesting weed which is incorrect.
 
"THC embraces specific sites on cells called receptors and launches a series of reactions that lead to the drug's side effects. This realization led scientists to the discovery of one of the receptor's natural partners -- a derivative of a fatty acid, dubbed anandamide, after the Sanskrit word for bliss."

Anandamide binds to the receptors, but it's physiological purpose has not yet been found. It's not for THC, THC just happens to have a chemical make-up that allows it to bind to the same receptors.
 
and drinking doesn't? alchohol kills a ton of people a year. how many pot smoking deaths? zero. as far as long term effects, laziness, hunger, and that about covers it. not trying to brag or anything, but i've done coke, opium, ecstasy, shrooms and acid, but weed doesn't have any of the side effects as any of those drugs.
 
i havent. i have never been asked if i wanted to but its not like i would do it. I havent found a reason to do it
 
i drink, but its also part of my culture (im russian), dont smoke cause i get high enough off life and skiing
 
sorry, but thats almost as lame as thinking that snoop dog is high off "life" not possible...oh, i dont smoke weed either, but i sure as hell dont get high off life haha
 
Well obviously she doesn't physically become "high off life." But, what I think she means is that she doesn't have to smoke/eat a drug that changes how you view things to enjoy life. The same goes with me, I don't need to waste money on weed to have a good time. I can do that without doing it, so why should I bother doing it? Now you all aren't going to agree with me, but thats why it's my opinion
 
1st noone has ever died from smoking pot

2nd they only thing that can hurt you is carcnegens in the smoke... so use a water pipe and there is nothing harmful
 
ya people on here that say that they dont drink should. Just because when you go to college, the biggest fuck ups and kids who suck at getting drunk are the kids who never drank in HS
 
I would burn if i didn't live in my parents house, outside of that.. whatever. Drinking is a more unhealthy drug than smoking is, at least on the brain and liver and all of that. Smoking is not good for you, but is not horrible for you like most things are. When you think about it.. what IS good for you? Is there pretty much a single thing that any of you do or eat or whatever that isn't in some way shape or form bad for you?

Ever eaten a McDonald's cheeseburger? Bad for you. How about drank a soda? Bad for you. Drank coffee? Not so good, either.

As a whole I'm just saying choose what you want to do, do it. Don't do it if you don't want. I enjoy herb and I think herb is plenty good, if used in the right way and not used stupidly. We all know a buncha burnout stoner kids who are goin nowhere.. They're the statistics that keep weed illegal, not the hard working business men who enjoy burning down when they get home just like the guy who drinks a glass of wine when he gets home from work.
 
im not addicted to alcohol or weed or anything but on the occasion atleast like once or twice a month its fun to get shit faced so all you are pansy's
