Explains why technology exploded 100 years ago instead of a thousand...bunch of brain dead drug addicts...

You mean, when all the great man, from scientist to the ones that created your loved constitution, smoked it?
[/quote]

The key is use, not abuse...but most that get wrapped up in it are self-medicating for emotional problems...which is why it's a controlled substance.

Man are you serious?..I can't even believe you said that on a conspiracy site..
[/quote]

It's not just a conspiracy site...and everything isn't a conspiracy anyway...

Brief, I think you should watch this video.

Run from the Cure.. a true story about marijuana's medicinal effects.

I wish I knew how to embed this.. if someone here can do it, I'd sure appreciate it.. also, if you could let me know how to do it, I'd like that even better.

The Opium poppy, coca plant, and many others have great medicinal value...but pot needs no modification and therefore has to be regulated as such...when properly administered it has great benefits...when abused it makes for a worthless person.
[/quote]

Actually, some guy overdosed by eating too many opium seed pods from live plants, so not quite true.  He had or was making a documentary about it.
[/quote]

That's my whole point...these wonderful plants are controlled because of idiots that THINK they can control and handle them but end up destroying their mind and bodies...
[/quote]

Does that mean we should be regulating water too? Drink too much water in too short a time, and you die. 
Anything taken to eccess is dangerous. Marijuana is certainly not any more dangerous than many other substances that are not regulated at all.
Did you watch the video? The guy who the story is about, is the most unasuming person you would meet and about your age.

No need to take this to it's logical extreme and onto absurdity unless you just want to play games...
[/quote]

LOL!!! But Brief.... I thought you liked to play games.

:cut what! off!:

Yeah I do, but I've been real busy lately :)

Promise you won't get high on H2O while I'm gone!

Original Message Nearly two pounds of still-green plant material found in a 2,700-year-old grave in the Gobi Desert has just been identified as the world's oldest marijuana stash, according to a paper in the latest issue of the Journal of Experimental Botany.

A barrage of tests proves the marijuana possessed potent psychoactive properties and casts doubt on the theory that the ancients only grew the plant for hemp in order to make clothing, rope and other objects.
They apparently were getting high too.

Lead author Ethan Russo told Discovery News that the marijuana "is quite similar" to what's grown today.
"We know from both the chemical analysis and genetics that it could produce THC (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid synthase, the main psychoactive chemical in the plant)," he explained, adding that no one could feel its effects today, due to decomposition over the millennia.
