Schwarzenegger: ‘Marijuana is not a drug’

weeds is not a drug its a herb or a weed depending on yer slant of said plant. i use it several times a week as i broke my back 7 years ago quite badly. i use weed because the alternative is to use morphine and other major inhibitors that ruin your life and reduce you to a dribbling wreck. my consultant told me to use weed as an alternative and i tried it, and hey presto instant relaxation and a good nights sleep.
i know there are arguments all over the place about it causing psycosis and mental health problems, but so do alcohol e,s cocaine, and speed. these are just as available and often the first choice of drug so the argument that weed leads on to other drugs doesnt hold with me realy. of course there are people who will try other drugs but how many people start drinking with a half of lager and end up doing a bottle of vodka a day. its a choice and limitation thing. make your choice and stay within limitations. :wink: if you arent capable of that you shouldnt be smoking, drinking, eating or living without someone making your decisions for you. no doubt some will disagree but id rather have a house full of stoned adults having a laugh and a good ole munchy party than go out to the pub and risk walking home through streets full of mashed teenagers all wanting to fight the world and smashin the shops up.

I don’t use it because I broke my back, nothing like that at all. I don’t use actual weed, I prefer hash, gives me a nice little buzz, helps to relax me.

I agree tho with Waspish, on the medical side of it. I smoked it during the time I was being treated with chemotherapy, it was far better than the morphine, which again, as Wasp said, and I agree, left me feeling little more than a zombie. I wasn’t able to function. As well as the morphine, I was being treated with anti-sickness drugs, the morphine and the anti-sickness caused constipation, so they gave me more drugs to help me go to the loo, then they had to give me even more drugs, to stop the trots! I lost a lot of weight, couldn’t eat, they gave me more drugs to boost my appetite. I had a shoe box full of drugs. My ex came round to see me one day, he rolled me a joint, i’d felt like absolute shyte all day. After he went, I went and slept for a couple of hours, he’d left some behind for me so I rolled myself another joint that evening. The next day I tipped all of the contents of the shoe box into the bin. Apart from when I had another dose of chemo, at which time they would also inject anti sick, I never took another one again. The chemo worked and the cancer went, and i’m still smokin puff. I don’t depend on it, if I haven’t got it then I haven’t got it, i’m not climbing the walls for it.

Weed can cause pshycosis, it’s happening in front of my eyes right now, to someone very dear to me, wer’e dealing with it, and so’s he, it’s not the only thing causing it though. Once again though, I agree with you Wasp, alchohol can cause severe effects on some people, and thats available to buy on the shelves in any supermarket you choose to walk into.

I’m not a hoodie :roll: I made it from 23 to 60 without suffering too many ill effects from smoking hash, in fact iv’e probably had more harm done to me from other ”normal” drugs. Anti biotics and such.

Your entitled to your opinion tho, as am I

Oh yea! I didn’t mug or steal from anyone to get it either,,,,,,like I said, can take it or leave it, or did you conveniently not read that part :roll:
