I am doing PhD in Electrical Engineering/Physics at ECE at Purdue on nano-electronics. Is that scientific enough for you? :crackup:

Yes, it takes about 6 years. Because it's a Direct PhD program. But that's off topic.

And when you say "ganja" it really sounds cute. Instead of junkie, ganja user sounds really gay ... Good for you ganja user.

Keep enjoying yourself, dopehead.

Then you should know enough about logic not to commit so many logical fallacies. And you should know that Wikipedia is not an acceptable academic source!

Being stuck out there in the middle of all those cornfields, it's small wonder you are so naive.

Oh my, the last thing I would ever want is to sound homosexual! OK, in the future, I will keep it more redneck for you!

Your puerile insult aside, I will :)

By the way, you never answered my question. Do you drink?

But ultimately, my points still stand:
-There is no evidence of chemical dependency on cannabis (you provided no evidence to the contrary)
-It is extremely difficult to fatally OD on cannabis
-Cannabis has less potential for addiction than nicotine and alcohol
-Withdrawal from cannabis is even milder than withdrawal from caffeine
-Alcohol use is as strongly or even more strongly correlated with abuse of "hard drugs" than cannabis

I mean i really didn't want to jump in this "debate" but this is pretty.. this is a pretty stupid debate. anyone who honestly thinks weed is just as / more dangerous than other hard drugs, or alcohol has exactly 0% experience with either weed or hard drugs. This is just silly on so many levels.


1. Weed is not addictive. I've been in AA/NA, I have seen.. probably over 500 addicts come threw the rooms of AA/NA, and outside of the ones that the court makes the people go to NA/AA I honestly don't know one person, not one, who was there because of Weed. That's no exaggeration. NOt saying that the people there didn't smoke weed, but that's not what drove them to recovery.

In fact it's quite the opposite. As a sponsor myself at one point, which is someone who walked a new recovering person through the 12 steps, someone who talks to their sponsees everyday to make sure they are doing okay and doing what they are supposed to do, more than once i've told a sponsee to go smoke a joint to make it through the night if they were having cravings really bad.. it eases the cravings and has prevented many serious relapses... i.e the marijuana maintenance program

(you don't have to tell me the hicprocy of someone in AA to go smoke a joint lol that's why I left, AA is too impractical.. to me, the way i see it if smoking a joint or 2 is going to keep you from going on a 500 dollar crack cocaine binge that will send you right back on the streets, then by all means light one up. But AA doesn't see it that way and a lot of people in AA relaspe for the stupid reason that AA makes them see alld rugs as equal)


2. There are only 2 drugs that have physical withdrawal symptoms.. As bad as crack/meth is, stimulants really don't have any physical withdraw symptoms.. outside of diarrhea and just wanting it really bad, you'll be okay for the most part.

the first is opiates. Not just heroin but pills like hydro's have very very bad withdrawal symptoms and you usually have to taper off the drug in combination with taking some type of medicine like methadone to get off the drug, because the physical withdraws can be very very bad.

the other is alcohol. If you are a serious alcoholic, like we are talking Bill Wilson level alcoholic not a guy that just has 2-3 six packs a week, like if you are in AA you will meet girls that have to have a 6 pack just to get out of bed and function. like once you get to that level, there is no cold turkey, you have to go to a hospital and get get detoxed. they have to put you on medication and keep you there for 3-4 days. and even with the medicine and being in a hospital ti's a *****, and this is before you can walk into any rehab

if you don't do this, you have a pretty damn good chance of dying.

i was in AA with a guy who was on federal probation and was a bad alcoholic, like the Bill Wilson level alcoholic, and his parole officer did not know he was drinking again, and he tired to get off, and the pain was so bad he called his parole officer and told them take me back to jail i dont' give a siht at this point but i have to go to detox. and he went back to jail.


and this coming from someone who wouldn not lose an ounce of sleep if weed was taken off the earth tomorrow. i could care less it's not bad but it's not something i have to have. I enjoy a good bourbon more than i weed, much more actually however I am not so ignorant as to the effects of alcohol where i can say it's more safe than weed is. it's not. it's not even close.

If the best weed was made in america and not by brown people in south and central america it would have been legalized it has nothing to do with the effects of the drug on you


And then to bring the conversation back to the OP's point, you can't be a hypocrite with women. so, you are hell bent on any girl who touches weed at all, but you are perfectly fine with a chick letting you ram it in her ass in the back of her car after a first date lol. you can't have it both ways. you want your girl to be naughy enough to come over your house with whip cream and ice and a fan and tell you to get naked in the bed room i'm going to show you how i can use all this at once lol, but when the girl is doing something that is.. nauhgy or bad that benefits just HER like smoking a bowl with some friends, she's a bad girl with low morals. if you aren't going to let a girl live a little.. agt all.. you are going to unqualify just about every girl you know. Oh, i see, it's only good when it benefits YOU lol.

For someone purportedly so educated Boilermaker your arguments are quite weak. Nothing personal. I think you're letting your feelings and personal judgments steer your argument, not to mention your sources are unsubstantiated and really laughable considering your field of study.

But I digress. This thread is getting off topic and approaching flame territory. Lets wrap it up.

Everyone who enters this debate, has a "dog" in this fight ; and that's precisely what I predicted in the first place ... The people who would jump at this would be users and nobody else would care.

Colossus is an admitted user, Lexington is using for 10-years , Backbreaker is an ex-addict who has done much harder stuff than Marijuana, so his reaction is expected. The empty arrogance of those who work in the "medical field" is laughable indeed. Just because you wipe the sh!t out of someone's ass ( Nothing personal Colo) doesn't make you any more reliable than my Subway sandwich artist. :) I am at least getting trained in doing/understanding research, what is your field of study? ( I must add that my own brother, sister-in-law, and father are doctors. My brother is an addiction psychiatrist in Mayo Clinic, sister-in-law is a psychiatry resident in Mayo - and my father is a Professor of Nephrology. So I won't take the word of a fledgling butt-hurt resident when it comes to the "harms of marijuana" and what are good sources and what are not. Or some obscure medical professional who also "partakes" in "ganja" that claims my sources are unsubstantiated. Or some ex-addict reporting from crack houses and personal experience. Nothing personal guys, just facts. My own sources are just fine!

I wrapped it up long time ago, everything I posted in this thread was accurate and was based on solid references. You can go and check them in your free time if you can stomach them. But you can't. Because most of you are addicted.

Let's remember the "classic hallmarks of addiction":

Classic hallmarks of addiction include: impaired control over substances/behavior, preoccupation with substance/behavior, continued use despite consequences, and denial.

This is my last post on this,

***EDIT*** I do respect the argument that there is a moral question involved, since people are being killed in other countries over the demand in the U.S. for weed and other drugs. But if it weren't illegal, I submit that the price would not be inflated and the trade would be regulated yet competitive. They call it the black market for a reason.
even this i find highly hypcoritical. considering the slew of members who love to beat their chest about how the women overseas (in underdeveloped countries) are so much nicer/better/eager to please/whatever than the ones are here, however the same thing that makes people kill each other in Columbia over coca plants and territory is the same reason why that Ukrainian 8.5 is willing to do back flips on your **** after knowing you for 30 minutes... there are no other choices/ways to get ahead in that society... if you are in Columbia and you want to become rich or powerful.. you are either going to play soccer or sale drugs. If you are a woman in Ukrainian and you want to get ahead.. you are going to probably end up doing a lot of fvcking.

"To me it's not even the rightness or the wrongness that gets under my skin but i despise hypocrites; i don't like people who are more than willing to use propaganda or morality arguments to make their case then turn around and ignore the same things on other issues when they don;t' want a case to be made.

I will smoke weed and do so guilt free. I will fvck a hot Ukrainian girl mercilessly If I were single. But I very well understand what I'm doing in both cases.

Speaking of hypocrisy, California med card users are getting bumped off of organ transplant lists. When their turn to get an organ arrives, they cross-reference the med card list and if the patient is on it, then that's just too bad for them.

alcohol is responsible for more crime, STDS, anti social behaviour and of course , serious health implications than weed.
that said, I wouldnt kick a woman out of bed for having a drink, one of my plates like me, likes whisky, not hardcore by any means, we can just share a couple of glasses and its pretty cool.
it would be immensly hypocritical for me to next a woman for using weed, however weed usually involves smoking it...and that stinks, and smoking also caries its own health risks.
occassional weed user is ok with me

What's your dog? Did you get jilted by a girl who happened to smoke weed? Did someone break poor Boilermaker's heart?
You say this:
Just because you wipe the sh!t out of someone's ass ( Nothing personal Colo) doesn't make you any more reliable than my Subway sandwich artist. :)
And then go on to this:
My brother is an addiction psychiatrist in Mayo Clinic, sister-in-law is a psychiatry resident in Mayo - and my father is a Professor of Nephrology.
Oh I see, so now you're an expert by association? :crackup:

Notably, check out this excerpt from the Mayo Clinic addiction psychiatry fellowship page:

Mayo Clinic Addiction Psychiatry Program said:
Master the pharmacology and neuropharmacology of all the major substances of dependence, including alcohol, amphetamines, stimulants, hallucinogens, benzodiazepines, sedative hypnotics and nicotine. You will acquire knowledge of signs and symptoms of use and dependence, withdrawal and overdose, as well as brain systems that sub-serve addictive processes.
It's funny, if cannabis is as bad as you say it is, shouldn't it be an important part of a world-leading addiction psychiatry program's curriculum? Yet it doesn't even warrant mentioning. Hmmm......

So I won't take the word of a fledgling butt-hurt resident when it comes to the "harms of marijuana" and what are good sources and what are not.
And I won't take the word of a person who's expertise in the field consists of doing a few Google searches.

Even if all your sources are acceptable (and they aren't), none of them even dispute any of the points I made. None of them claim that it's possible to fatally overdose on cannabis, none of them claim that there are dangerous withdrawal symptoms and none of them claim that it is more addictive than alcohol and tobacco.

Or some obscure medical professional who also "partakes" in "ganja" that claims my sources are unsubstantiated. Or some ex-addict reporting from crack houses and personal experience. Nothing personal guys, just facts. My own sources are just fine!

I wrapped it up long time ago, everything I posted in this thread was accurate and was based on solid references.

You can go and check them in your free time if you can stomach them. But you can't. Because most of you are addicted.
I did and I even quoted them for your reference. It's obvious that you are the one who hasn't even read your own sources! Now you resort to childish insults to avoid addressing the points.

Let's remember the "classic hallmarks of addiction":
Sure.

Classic hallmarks of addiction include: impaired control over substances/behavior
I'm pretty sure once a month usage of a substance that is less addictive and less toxic than alcohol doesn't constitute "impaired control." Once again, you refuse to answer the question: do you drink?

Do you drink at all Boilermaker? Because if you do so once a month or more, then you are yourself an addict according to your own criteria.

preoccupation with substance/behavior
]

So using weed once a month constitutes "preoccupation?" Well then I have a few more addictions I need to confess.

I also occasionally use cheeseburgers....in fact more than once per month! A few times a month, I also like to drink sodas as well. Damn NYC for banning those large size soft drinks!

Oh, and sometimes, I like to go to these things called bars where they serve up a potentially addictive substance which can cause terrible withdrawal symptoms and chemical dependence. It's called alcohol. I know it's bad for me, but for some reason, it seems to really draw crowds of pretty girls. Some people even call it a "social lubricant."

continued use despite consequences,
Consequences which include food tasting better and music from the 60s sounding totally awesome!

and denial.
The only thing anyone is denying here are your blatant falsehoods.

This is my last post on this,
Good riddance.
