I think I can imagine what you mean. I'm not sure so could you please elaborate on the difference between cigar and cigarette smokers. There are of course those who smoke both.

Because I saw a change before and after they started smoking cannabis on a regular basis.

Add to this that they generally not only use cannabis, but also high quantities of alcohol and often "hard" drugs such as heroin or crack (classic cocaine is more common among successful people). |

Apart from that, and unlike cigarettes, cigars do not contain any of the many chemical additives that cigarettes contain. They are plain tobacco leaves.

What are the best sites against canabis and the other drugs?
Cannabis is claimed to have beneficial effects in treating chronic diseases such as AIDS and multiple sclerosis. The main psychoactive ingredient in cannabis is delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which is available legally as a prescribed drug in capsule form. In 1998 US researchers found that THC targets the same pain centres in the brain that morphine does, proving its usefulness in pain relief, and in November 1998, cannabis was legalized for medical use in six US states. Canada approved legislation for widespread medical use in August 2001. The British Medical Research Council approved a three-year study, commencing in December 1999, to assess the benefits of cannabis in alleviating some of the symptoms of multiple sclerosis. In October 2001, the British government put forward a proposal to reclassify cannabis from a Class B drug to a Class C drug. As such a Class C drug possession would carry less severe penalties. A report released in March 1999 by the Institute of Medicine in the USA said that cannabis should be clinically tested because it helps fight pain and nausea. A US study involving 3,882 people who had survived heart attacks revealed that smoking cannabis may increase the risk of a heart attack, by as much as five times for an hour after smoking. The risk may increase because cannabis increases the heart rate by about 40 beats a minute. From Canabis - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Canabis

after reading the last post, I finally made up my mind: I am giving up health insurance and I am going to grow big quanities of cannabis...

The problem of canabis is not simple - the last my post stressed that every poisson could be used for treatment in necessary amounts, but if the user is ...
The roots of stupid canabis usage are much more deep...I think this is kind of escape from world or narrow surrounding problems... |

Now, after discussion we could start discuss the demand text:
(Project) We demand to stop canabis legalisation, becouse of lots societies and communities health and criminal problems connected to the canabis usage. What is Your opinion? |

I am personally in favour of Cannabis legalization. The drugs possible harmful effects don't even get close to the damage that alcohol can do. Secondly, criminalization of the drug simply does not work. I have finished school this year and know out of experience that despite its illegality Cannabis is easier to get than ever. It is probably easier for an under 18 - year old to get weed in countries having prohibited it, than in the Netherlands.

And we smoked crushed dried leaves of eucaliptus, rolled on toilette paper. That was when I was in boarding school.

To be fair, I know you were just using an expression. I am only taking advantage of that to give a small leture. However, it is a common misconception that cannabis kills brain cells, which is actually the noble deed of alcohol, not cannabis. |

By the way, there are also the Australis and Ruderalis strains, though they are exotic and generally not used for cultivation. |

Canabis is for weak people, real men drink alcohol (and even this in reasonable limits). Everybody has some weakness though.
I'm not really against legalization at this moment either, neither against legalization of any drug for the matter. |

Damn, I must give it to you. You've made your case against "canabis". :-O

Even in Holland where cannabis is legal there's a strong crime link. There are also €2bn of cannabis exports from Holland annually and very little done to prevent it. Yet in the importation countries it's illegal. Time and again in Ireland there are seizures of cannabis that was exported from Holland. What I would like to know is why the European arrest warrant isn't used against Dutch exporters? It's used to enforce one country's censorship in other free societies, as in the Tobin case, so why not with drugs too?

I'm for legalization of drugs at this moment, not only marihuana, people over 18 should be allowed to use any drug they want. It's not illegal to bet your whole salary on 20,00 odds bet, it's not illegal to smash a new TV set for no reason and ultimately it's not illegal to make a complete idiot out of yourself. You can't protect stupid people against stupidities with stupid laws, especialy as law system is as effective as an unloaded gun in battle.
