Legalize MJ?? Is marijuana 'good' for your love life?

This is just one of many articles written about marijuana..Most of what you hear is not about the physical and mental problems associated with the drug. Because, according to the users..they're fine.

Everyone poo pooed the possibility of it increasing the onset of schizophrenia and that it doesn't make a society that's already fat and lazy and uninspired, more so..

Sounds like the legalization of pot will benefit the producers of Viagra or help the population control forces..whatever the case..you're only messing with the head on your shoulders if you think it has no effect.

A large sample size would help validate those tests results in the article.

Every drug, whether it be alcohol, nicotine, caffeine, or a natural herb such as marijuana, has a negative affect.

Doesn't mean drugs should be illegal though.

I will continue to blaze regularly, with gusto, thanking the weed gods for my sanity in this fast-paced, stress-filled world.

 

Lots of perfectly legal things can destroy your love life. Are you saying weed ruins relationships anymore than, say, adultery?

 

I'm saying that in the pursuit of a sexual encounter..there's not much worse than a guy who can't get it together..and denies the reasons behind it..

 

Many men encounter erectile dysfunction at the age they're speaking of regardless of weed intake during their youth.

I don't see the big dead really. *shrugs*

I say enjoy a healthy sex life during your youth and and prime and thank modern science for the blue pill.

 

Legalize MJ?? Is marijuana 'good' for your love life?


YES! Makes reaching the Orgasm oh so good! Even if you are flying solo!

 

Get high, get dead...

Drug use involved in 25% of fatal crashes, study finds
23 June`11 - Drivers who die in crashes test positive for drugs 25% of the time, a new study finds.

 

Get drunk, get dead would be equally applicable.

I hope you aren't advocating a return to Prohibition.

 

Just for sake of clarity...
24.9%+37%+58%+5%=124.9%

Which means there is overlap. Meaning some of the drug crash fatalities also had alcohol in their systems. 24.9% as a matter of fact.

Hmmm... why does 24.9% sound familiar...

Oh that's right... that was the amount of fatal crashes involving drugs...
Shame we don't have a source on that study huh? Anyway... let's continue...

22%(marijuana use) of 25%(total drug use rounded) is what... 5.5%?

So 5.5% - 25% (amount of overlap) = around 4% ASSUMING there is an even distribution.

Really would like that study to see the actual numbers. I can only extrapolate on assumptions.

I also wonder if this includes causality... meaning who was at fault for the accident...

 

It's never been an issue for me.

Why do the majority of your posts always seem to be just slightly off-topic...slightly?

 

Found it. Remarkably incomplete... however does shed some light.

http://www.jsad.com/jsad/downloadar...r_Types_of_Fatal_Crashes_OPEN_ACCESS/4911.pdf

The 4 kinds of fatalities involving drugs and alcohol involve cannabinoids at the following intervals:
1.243 1.224 1.199 1.071 for a total of 4.737
This usage was combined with alcohol at the following intervals
0.403 0.471 0.818 0.501 for a total of 2.193

so 2.544 of 4.737 were weed only fatalities.

So instead of deducting a mere 25% we should deduct 45%.
45% of 5.5% is about 2.5%

3% of fatalities, according to that studies data, involve though cannot be directly attributed, to MJ use.

BTW... these 4 fatality indicators are speeding (reasonable), failure to yield (very fine), inattention (oh yeah... weed specifically on that one), and seat belt non-use (huh... what? Not wearing your seatbelt? Are you (*)(*)(*)(*)ing kidding me?)

Totally biased study written by people who's career is dedicated to this mission.

3%

nword PLEASE.

 

Legalizing weed is good for the free market and Liberty in a free society.

That it can have unwanted physical effects is as irrelevant as those attributed to alcohol or any legal drug.

 

I once dated a gal named Mary Jane who was a product of the drug infested 1960s. This gal for all intents and purposes led a lazy non productive life as a result of her 24/7 habit of smoking da weed. She managed to get herself hooked up with the entire package of welfare benefits so as to support her lazy drug addicted arse. It is my un-professional but hands on experienced opinion that Mary Jane had acquired a 24/7 deer-in-da-headlights stare at the age of 20, and 19 years later at the age of 39 acquired Altzheimers Disease because of her chronic bout with smoking da weed. And now you ask if smoking da weed could possibly hamper one's love life? LOL...That were a goodin, for sure.

 

What a wonderful little bit of anecdotal evidence. Please correlate marijuana use with Alzheimers.

DOH

MJ might have kept off the onset for MJ for several years.

 

The debate over legalizing marijuana is not one where each study makes a difference. I mean, if you want to argue pot is harmless, it is not. Pot has negative effects, but so does alcohol, tobacco, nicotine and a sodium. If not used in moderation, it can make you a space cadet, etc.

However, the big picture is that the illegality of marijuana also has many many negative effects. First is the massive black market driving drug violence. Just like prohibition led to organized crime, so does pot prohibition. Second, there are many many users who are not bad people who get their lives destroyed for pot convictions, etc. There is the amount of money spend on the war on drugs.

Now the other reality is that pot is still able to be found and a teen is probably easier to buy pot than alcohol. So the deterrent of illegality is not stopping a lot of the negative effects, but causing many more.

Legalize pot an you would have a massive reduction in violent crime and drug gangs, large increase in tax revenue while eliminating a large expense in law enforcement and jail expenses, and society would have the ability to handle and educate about the harm of pot like it does with alcohol.

It certainly is not perfect, but nothing is. I mean, my father and father in law and one brother in law all have had issues with alcohol. You could argue it should be banned too. But prohibition proved that was a bad idea, and the prohibition of pot is virtually the same pros and cons, except pot is not as addictive as alcohol.

 

Yes, marijuana is good for your sex life. So is Cialis.

 

And that would be just 'your altered' opinion..

 

?? If you know any statistics, you will be aware that the numbers in the study you quote indicate that only alcohol poses a significant danger. In the absence of alcohol, other drugs have little effect on driving or crashes. Also, "drugs" can mean a lot of different things, including legal drugs that impair driving ability, like cough syrup, antihistamines, painkillers, etc.

 

Let's don't pretend that inhaling SMOKE into your lungs is good for you.

Legalize Weed...fine.

but don't try and make it sound like it's healthy to smoke it.

 

Pot is less harmful than alcohol in every way. If there is any one drug that merits prohibition on the basis of its medical effects on the user, that drug is alcohol. And although most people don't realize it, alcohol prohibition was actually very successful -- at first. Domestic abuse and divorce rates plummeted, crime rates fell off a cliff, the jails were emptied. But soon the economics of prohibition took over, and within 10 years everything was worse than it had been before prohibition. With pot, there is not even the excuse that it was a significant societal problem before prohibition. It BECAME a problem BECAUSE OF prohibition.

 

I tend to agree. However most people are unaware of vaporizers.

 

First time I've ever agreed with Barney Frank about anything.

 

Smoking pot gives a guy a blazing boner that lasts for hours, but gives a gal cotton (*)(*)(*)(*)(*). With lube, it all works.

Also, I would rather ride in a car with someone that smoked a joint than someone who drank a pint of vodka.

 

Uh...the benefits actually outweigh the smoke problem, and even then I've never heard of someone getting lung cancer from it or dying.

Of course, there are other ways to ingest it.

 

Sex while high is probably the best thing ever
