Speak for yourself Oga, and I don't think you are in a position to judge if you still have sense or not, even those in mental institutions still claim they are sane.
nigeria has more mentally ill people than california, even though marijuana is not legal in nigeria grin

Do some research on marijuana benefits to human health before comming on here to comment and pass judgments on issue you know nothing about. grin

if you have never smoked marijuana how can you tell what the effect are? grin grin

tell me, have you ever taken or smoked marijuana?
you are an ignorant individual. you are not a psychiatric but you have managed to conclude that some one you have never met is insane. grin

Marijuana does not make anyone high and does not cause hallucination, in any way that tobacco or alcohol does not and marijuana is safer.

All three substances are addictive and when abused cause some level of altered reality and perception and of all three, only marijuana is medicinal. As second hand smoke; I will prefer to inhale marijuana’s THC which is medicinal than tobacco tar, which is cancerous any day any time.

You don’t have to be a smoker to know that, knowledge is power, hit some google pages. Cigarette and alcohol are more dangerous and will kill you faster.

Plus, marijuana is a natural growing plant, no processing done, unlike the others. It was created by God and in the garden of Eden, it must have been there, because God created everything and yet, there was no commandment to Adam not to part take despite such command regarding the fruit of wisdom...and I can bet you that cigarette or tobacco or alcohol was no where in that Garden, because all these are man made.

FYI:
I don’t smoke, but I make a point to get enough knowledge about topics I don’t know, especially concerning those where my personal experience is lacking.
Are you afraid I will think you have sniffed some cannabis in secret? cheesy Was that why you added the disclaimer? wink

Anyway, I saw a few of my classmates getting high on marijuana in the university, so I have seen how quickly it can cause people to experience altered states of reality, faster than tobacco even does. The nicotine in tobacco causes addiction, yes. But from my observation, marijuana gets people more high, than tobacco can ever do. sad

To benefit from the THC and CBD (i.e. cannabidiol) in marijuana, the plant has to be processed into oils and supplements, in order to extract the THC or CBD. Smoking or sniffing marijuana will not deposit the THC or CBD in a usable form, in the smoker. undecided While THC is psychoactive, CBD is not.

tobbaco is highly adidctive and more dangerous than ganja, tobbaco and Alcohol have killed more people than ganja.

ask your Doctor he will tell you the same. yes! you can halucinate if you smoke ganja mixed with other harmful substsnces. if you smoke the real ganja, you will be fine!
trust me i know! grin

Let me guess....you did a survey on the after-effects of cannabis and tobacco on smokers within a specified population size, before you came to this conclusion?

Does tobacco make you high, or cause you to hallucinate?

Let it be brought to your attention that what people smoke in Naija and call weed is not marijuana. I don't know what it is but the smell is way much different than what they call marijuana here in USA.. I see people who smoke weed in USA and have never seen anyone go mad from smoking it, unless it is laced with hallucogenic drugs...

Nigerians don't want it legal for no concrete reason.


You see them telling us the negative effects of Weed when they haven't tasted it before.

Why don't you all taste it before you agree that Weed is bad?

Some Nigerians can be hypocrites. For Nigerians to accused innocent weed is an act of hateful belief.

Look at the happiness on their faces as if they have won jackpots! A country that legalized samesex marriage, gave unhampered will for youths and the petty underage to carry guns and cause mass murder here and there and now, a state in the country just legalized the smoking of a substance that wields the potency to cause insanity when taken over a long period of time. What a country!

Hope you won't apply for American Visa? or if given the opportunity to go to America you would also reject?

To hell with your Godly and Holy Africa.

speaking of conclusions, you have made a whole lot right from your first mention, I don't need to smoke marijuana to also know the adverse effects it has on human health, that it isn't affecting you negatively (which this is subject to evaluation) doesn't mean it isn't affecting others.
Legalizing it means more outlets will sell, it will be more accessible especially to teenagers who will use it to the point of abuse.

We that loves the ways of God and enforces what He hates, see how though we make life for ourselves. Whatever works for them though. We ban gays and marijuana but we don't help our starving neighbors. Our government loots our commonwealth dry and we harbor evils for each other. Who is the biggest hypocrite here?
The enforcement on these kinds of things has never worked. Right here in Nigeria though, the hard drugs market has caused a lot of embarrassment for us internationally. It's better NDLEA organises some unit to monitor people that have experience growing this weed and ensure it's strictly for somewhere like carlifonia so we can earn some forex from the chaos.

There are many benefits of marijuana, there are many benefits of guns, there are many benefits of alchohol etc the latter two were legalized and yes-today, we are dealing with the effects of that.

No matter how good, there are some things that should never get a government backing if you want a sane society-since you have not been able to deal with the human factor of abuse.

Use the "cavemen reasoning" again and you will have a harsh reply.
as I guess you know the benefits of electricity and cars so are you familiar with their negative effects on human life, I guess if your type was among on those that were to approve the public usage of the mentioned inventions you'll have ban them mumu,

One CAVEMAN in a third world country feels he knows more than a whole legislative and citizens of a whole California that legalized what they feel is beneficial to them, dumb caveman like you.

Expecting that harsh reply from you caveman.

more accesible to teenage? yea! right! I was 14 when i was able to access marijuana! grin i used to buy it right at the front gates of my school, i sold to more teenagers than Adults.legalising it means even teenagers can get accesss to it rather than buying from street corner dealers, do you think not legalising it will deter teenagers from getting access to it? look! you have no idea on issues of marijana so i am going to move on.

Honestly maybe the marijuana is finally taking a toll on you, who said anything about a pregnant woman?
So all the knowledge you have on marijuana is based on the fact that you have been smoking since 14?
That's disappointing, maybe you should be the one doing the research.

Just say you were trying to defend the fact that you have been smoking marijuana since 14, ( which is none of my business) my point is you can't rule out the abuse of it, which many are doing, being legal only increases the chances of abuse.

Exactly, that you were able to handle it doesn't mean that goes for everyone out there, they are people who probably started at age 14 too, but down the line, abuse was inevitable, not legalizing it is a way to curb the abuse at least to an extent.
Okay, tell me it has no negative effect whatsoever on human health.
