I don't think it's good for your health if you have a family history of Schizophrenia.

Now how long will it take for someone to invent an electronic joint similar to an electronic cigarette?

I think a vaporizer is pretty close to what you are looking for.

Can you walk around with one held between your fingers? No question, though, the vaporizer's functionality is one part of it.

Does it, like the electronic cigs, leave no smell too? Not that it has to, but I am curious.

The vapes i'm use to only leave a very mild herbal smell and rarely visible vapor. Its when I really box an enclosed area for a whole day of sessions that the room starts smelling a bit funny, but nothing close to even a puff of mj or cigarette in an enclosed area.

I do see your point in how it could effect people negatively as it is a drug. I have seen it make some people irresponsible, but I think it mainly depends on how responsible you are to begin with, or how mature you are. It is natural and as far as we can tell, it is a safe drug, but it is still a drug. That means that some of the people that use it are people that do drugs. I'm talking about hard drugs like meth, heroin, crack, and others. These types of people do not care about their health or their life, and should be avoided. |

Tolerence develops with any drug. Being able to have more and function isn't a good thing. Lots of alcoholics can't funtion as well without, that's because they are alcoholics. Same goes for almost any drug. Your also restating the natural fallacy. Whether something occurs in nature has no bearing on whether it is good for you or not. Too much of anything is bad for you. Too much water can kill you.

If alcohol was illegal right now, there'd be a guy in here who LOVED to drink making the same points you're making now. "A little wine is shown to have health benefits. Just a little buzz from alcohol makes menial jobs much more enjoyable. My tolerance level is high enough so I could have a few drinks and you wouldn't even know it." If marijuana is made legal, it will be treated as alcohol. So you should get used to the similarities now and treat it similarly. Just as you wouldn't be respected showing up to a job with a buzz, you won't be respected showing up to a job high. You won't be allowed to drive under the influence of either. You'll be expected to enjoy it responsibly as a mind altering substance. Society isn't going to all of a sudden go "You're right, marijuana isn't harmful at all! You can be high whenever you want, high five!".

Smoking MJ on a regular basis has been proven to cause neurological changes. Receptors fire slower, memory retention, and there's evidence that it augments the parts of the brain that we think control/define personality. The problem is we know so little about the brain that it's hard to draw conclusions as to whether MJ is either bad or good. There is evidence that it causes blood vessels in the lungs to contract after long-term use but so does smoking and any pollution in general.

Again, you're going on with "government has tried to show they are harmful...". I just showed you two documents outlining the chemical make-up of marijuana smoke which shows it contains carcinogens. There are plenty of studies on the effects of marijuana use inhibiting learning and brain development. I like how none of that qualifies as "proof" but a youtube documentary is "proof" that it cures cancer. Do you see the double standard? This is what's known as Special Pleading. To be clear, I don't think marijuana is overly harmful. Definitely, not more harmful than other things people do to themselves. But when you start professing that there are NO NEGATIVE effects at ALL and THAT IT CURES CANCER, you start losing support for your cause. Marijuana and Alcohol can be dangerous if used irresponsibly. And I believe they should be legal. People should be able to use substances responsibly and assess the risks for themselves.

I have seen countless stories on the internet about marijuana curing cancer and other ailments. I even showed you a few of them. Not sure if you even looked at any of them but I don't really care if you did. I've done alot of research on cancer, and on marijuana, even the endocannabinoid system. We still do not even really know all the functions of the endocanabinoid system. Why do we have cannabinoids in our body? What is their purpose? Could it be that these are in the body to help us? |

You should first become a skeptic. You should read up on philosophy and epistemology to understand what "truth" is on how we go about determining what is true. You should read up on science, understand the peer review system, why it's there and why it's important. Understand that it's a necessary but not sufficient part of the process. You should read up on claims of ufo's/alien abductions, big foot, etc. Ask yourself if you believe those claims since they are supported primarily by anecdotal evidence. In order to determine whether or not something is true or reliable (either scientifically or logically), you first need the tools to do so. If you don't acquire these tools, all you can do is leave the work to people who DO have those tools and trust their expert opinion. If you're not comfortable with that, you'll have to put in some work.
