i hate to be one of the 100000000 fags liek O DAMN NIGGA ROLLIN DEEP NIGGA PUFFIN DAT CHRONIIICCCCCC but i pretty much am hahaa but i have a few comments to add.
i did a speech about industrial hemp and marijuana at my school and got an A for it...
marijuana was made illegal because the hemp paper industry was absolutely SMOKING the tree paper industry, interestingly enough, the tree paper industry was run by rich white bitches who chilled with the twisted government officials, and the hemp paper industry was run by mexicans. marijuana was officially made illegal for racial and economical disadvantages for whitey in the illegal drug prohibition act of 1923 (i think haha im bad with dates, THATS WHAT MARIJUANA DOES!!! just killin brain cells haha)
the majority of marijuana facts are from a series of studies based on hypothesis with no actual data from 1922. the most famous statistics are of course from the truth adds from like 2004 or so stating something the effect of, one joint has 4 times as much tar as a cigarette, and that marijuana reduces your reaction time by like 30% or so. in regards to tar, this is true BUT the context is ridiculous. TAR doesnt mean fucking road tar which is what a lot of schools tell you, it means plant matter in an inorganic (as the carbon has been burned up, but its still organic depending on how you bend the term scientifically), which is gross for sure, idk if youve ever smoked a fatty and pulled out the crutch for the last few hits and wanted to throw up when a teaspoon of gross goo falls out haha, but its naaaaaaaaaaasttyy, but that doesnt contain the carcinogins and the impossible to break down crap this cigarettes do. tar from pot in your lungs is gone in a matter of hours. of course that doesnt mean that pot isnt bad from your lungs at all... dont expect to run 10 miles in the mountains with crazy blunt lung syndrome, but its not awful.
now to my main fact from the last paragraph... when they say that marijuana has 4 times as much tar as tobacco, thats a hypothesis based on the idea of smoking the average cigarette smokers daily intake, 1 pack per day... now, one pack of cigarettes has 16 grams of tobacco in it. have you ever tried smoking 16 grams of weed in one day? how long were you awake haha? thats really not feasable. to stay high all day you could smoke like 2 grams a day. im sure somebody heres smoked almost 16 grams in a day but like, no one does that haha thats over a half ounce. and costs over $100 usually for good shit.
in regards to being tired all of the time if youre a huge stoner... not true, once you start smoking all of the time, like all day every day, it becomes coffee, you cant get started without it, cant stay up without it. not that i smoke that much but i have plenty of friends that do or have for a sustained period of time.
and for addiction. CHOCOLATE IS PHYSICALLY ADDICTIVE!!! haha its true, chocolate is more addictive than pot. chocolate is technically a 'drug' depending on how you use the term. its the cousin of cocaine! some of the same chemicals that give you the buzz of cocaina are in cacao.
and for school and shit im in the same boat as you... honors student!
