SANTA CRUZ, CA--In the first rigorous study comparing marijuana use in the Netherlands and the United States, researchers have found no evidence that decriminalization of marijuana leads to increased drug use. The results suggest that drug policies may have less impact on marijuana use than is currently thought. The findings appear in the May issue of the American Journal of Public Health. Craig Reinarman, professor of sociology at the University of California, Santa Cruz, coauthored the article, "The Limited Relevance of Drug Policy: Cannabis in Amsterdam and in San Francisco," with Peter D. A. Cohen, director of the Centre for Drug Research (CEDRO) at the University o…

Marijuana In My System....

For the last few months now i have been smoking daily and i was wondering how long it takes for my system to be clean marijuana for say a blood or urine test. I know that its roughly 28 days but i have been smoking heavily and expected it to take longer but recently i heard off a friend that the more you smoke the quicker it leaves your system due to your body being more immune to it. Also is there anything that can mask the cannabis in my system to keep blood or urine tests from picking it up. Any help would be appreciated Peace Tracid

New Study Explains How Pot Kills Cancer Cells By Steve Kubby A new study published in Nature Reviews-Cancer provides an historic and detailed explanation about how THC and natural cannabinoids counteract cancer, but preserve normal cells. The study by Manuel Guzmán of Madrid Spain found that cannabinoids, the active components of marijuana, inhibit tumor growth in laboratory animals. They do so by modulating key cell-signalling pathways, thereby inducing direct growth arrest and death of tumor cells, as well as by inhibiting the growth of blood vessels that supply the tumor. The Guzman study is very important according to Dr. Ethan Russo , a neurologist and world …

A link to the abstract and the full text: (EDs sorry just checked the link to the full text and it is a pay site and unfortunently there is no access) http://www.blackwell-synergy.com/links/doi...03.00401.x/abs/ Respiratory health effects of cannabis: Position Statement of The Thoracic Society of Australia and New Zealand D. R. Taylor1 and W. Hall2,3 Abstract Both the gaseous and the particulate phases of tobacco and cannabis smoke contain a similar range of harmful chemicals. However, differing patterns of inhalation mean that smoking a 'joint' of cannabis results in exposure to significantly greater amounts of combusted material than with a tobacco cigarette. T…

Yo!

But then when i go 'round a mate's place 4 a chop, i hear all these d*kheads talking about "nah, it's only if u mix your weed with niccotine.." I actually don't Nik my weed, i prefer it straight, and I feel fine.

does this happen to anyone else here...? when i have any THC at all, even just one cone, in a few minutes i get this really intense tingling through my whole body (most intense in the feet, legs and chest). it's most noticable when i'm sitting still or lying down, or even just standing. it's the best feeling ever... better than anything. and the thing is, if i really let go i can still feel it the next day in the feet and lower legs. it's like the muscles are contracting really slowly and it feels great. fuck, i dunno. it's pretty weird. no one else i know experiences it, but i remember john birmingham said on triple j one time that he was aware of and could feel all…

It seems whoever is around the site at the time a new poll starts votes, but when the thread dies off new members don't vote in the old polls. Some polls have been up for ages, and still only have around 50 votes. So this is just an encouragement to all new members, and all old members for that matter, to have a look through the pinned polls in this forum and cast a vote if you haven't already. The more people that vote the more meaningful these polls will be. cheers. PS - I'll bump this topic from time to time as a continuing reminder.
