I found this video this morning while watching an ALS bucket challenge video. I ended up clapping and cheering with the video.

This is for everyone who believes that there's no medical benefit to marijuana and wants to continue to criminalize those who use it for any reason.

Marijuana is saving Charlotte's life.

It's saving my life. Not from the same condition that Charlotte's has. In my case it's helping me to beat breast cancer.

Please watch this 18 minute video to the end. Send it out to everyone you know.

Doing so just might save a life.

Think Marijuana Is For Stoners? Meet A 6-Year-Old Girl Who Might Just Disagree With You On That.
 
And destroying brain cells.




You didn't watch the video did you?

Take the time to watch and you might want to retract the post above.

The medical marijuana developed in this video has no THC in it. Just the CBC which is what has most of the medical properties in it.

No brain cells are being destroyed. In fact, the girl in the video has a brain disease called epilepsy. Which caused her to have around 400 grand mall seizures a day. Those seizures cause brain damage.

The medical marijuana is stopping the seizures and brain damage.
 
And destroying brain cells.

So's alcohol. Would question the downside though. If dumb enough to drink alcohol in the first place loosing brain cells probably wont be noticed. :)

Any and all of that stuff does more harm than good (in the long run).



:bsflag:

I see you choose the easiest, possible response you can muster. Don't hurt yourself. Maybe you ought to smoke another doobie.

SAFER - Marijuana vs. Alcohol

"Alcohol use damages the brain. Marijuana use does not. Despite the myths we've heard throughout our lives about marijuana killing brain cells, it turns out that a growing number of studies seem to indicate that marijuana actually has neuroprotective properties. This means that it works to protect brain cells from harm. For example, one recent study found that teens who used marijuana as well as alcohol suffered significantly less damage to the white matter in their brains. Of course, what is beyond question is that alcohol damages brain cells."

* Alcohol use is linked to cancer. Marijuana use is not. Alcohol use is associated with a wide variety of cancers, including cancers of the esophagus, stomach, colon, lungs, pancreas, liver and prostate. Marijuana use has not been conclusively associated with any form of cancer. In fact, one study recently contradicted the long-time government claim that marijuana use is associated with head and neck cancers. It found that marijuana use actually reduced the likelihood of head and neck cancers. If you are concerned about marijuana being associated with lung cancer, you may be interested in the results of the largest case-controlled study ever conducted to investigate the respiratory effects of marijuana smoking and cigarette smoking. Released in 2006, the study, conducted by Dr. Donald Tashkin at the University of California at Los Angeles, found that marijuana smoking was not associated with an increased risk of developing lung cancer. Surprisingly, the researchers found that people who smoked marijuana actually had lower incidences of cancer compared to non-users of the drug.

* Alcohol is more addictive than marijuana. Addiction researchers have consistently reported that marijuana is far less addictive than alcohol based on a number of factors. In particular, alcohol use can result in significant and potentially fatal physical withdrawal, whereas marijuana has not been found to produce any symptoms of physical withdrawal. Those who use alcohol are also much more likely to develop dependence and build tolerance.

* Alcohol use increases the risk of injury to the consumer. Marijuana use does not. Many people who have consumed alcohol or know others who have consumed alcohol would not be surprised to hear that it greatly increases the risk of serious injury. Research published this year in the journal Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research, found that 36 percent of hospitalized assaults and 21 percent of all injuries are attributable to alcohol use by the injured person. Meanwhile, the American Journal of Emergency Medicine reported that lifetime use of marijuana is rarely associated with emergency room visits. According to the British Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs, this is because: "Cannabis differs from alcohol … in one major respect. It does not seem to increase risk-taking behavior. This means that cannabis rarely contributes to violence either to others or to oneself, whereas alcohol use is a major factor in deliberate self-harm, domestic accidents and violence." Interestingly enough, some research has even shown that marijuana use has been associated with a decreased risk of injury."

Every "high" pothead I've ever TRIED to have a conversation with sounded like he had an IQ of about 10 (and I'm being generous). Pot, simply put, makes a person stupid!! Drunks, too, are blathering idiots.
 
There are hard core drug addicts that will just not accept how deadly marijuana is. May just as well try to deal directly with the bong itself. Same result.

Even the idiots that smoke heavily and come into my store "straight" are as dumb as rocks. By reading many posts in this forum I'm willing to bet that there are a lot of "heads" here as well. Do you get high?

You should tell that to 6 year old girl in the video and her parents.

It's helping to save my life so you should look my husband and my child in the eye and tell them I should die from cancer because you believe it does more harm than good.

I would be dead right now without medical marijuana.

That little girl in the video would be dead now without medical marijuana.

No, I'm too busy. :) I tried it...Three times think it is in college. Was each time already fairly drunk so never saw what the big deal was. Noticed slight increase in color though, was about it.

Then you can't really comment on what pot does to a person's thought process. Even when someone isn't smoking it will remain in the system for a month or more (speaking of chronic users). You can tell by Dana's responses that pot doesn't help one think clearly.
