Marijuana can enhance comprehension & holistic thinking.

In the video you are watching, Joe Rogan speaks about his DMT experiences. DMT is produced in the brain, you are essentially tripping every night when you sleep, that’s not chemically ‘altering’ anything. There is so much we will never be able to comprehend, just like a dog cannot comprehend the intricacies of a computer system.

As I said I do feel sad for the people that require such an "enhancement". Not much unlike those who are plagued by ignorance and are unable to achieve the fairly basic intellectual processes a human is capable of, depending on substances to achieve the same goal is similar.

Sleeping is in fact a completely different state of consciousness, it simply is not the state of complete awareness through which humans perceive the world. DMT being produced during sleeping would excuse/rationalize its intake as much as messing with one's blood pressure and heart rate to reach REM levels would.

The intake of anything that has an immediate effect on the functioning of your neurotransmitters is by definition chemically messing with your (state of) consciousness.

dave30... That is the most ignorant, nonsensical opinion I have ever seen on the internet.

First of all..

there is a proven risk of mental problems and reduced fertility.

No there isn’t, only for people with genetic defects. If you have a history of mental illness, for example.

Substance abuse in general, that includes tobacco & alcohol can all reduce fertility, it's not a valid reason for illegalisation. The people of California & Holland haven’t stopped procreating.

i don't think our culture is mature enough. How many demotivated, uninspired people are there in our country already ?

Cliché alert.. It all depends on the individual, you can abuse ANY substance. There are uninspired/demotived people EVERYWHERE, including the Netherlands where weed is tolerated.

Or you can actually take a stand and impose a real deterrent such as tough prison sentences even for "personal use possession"

^ This particular part of your post is so borderline retarded it's actually frightening...

You want to lock somebody in a cage with rapists and murderers for personal use?, they are doing no harm to anyone. Marijuana is safer & better for you than alcohol.

It's a shame ignorant daily mail readers like yourself are able to spout nonsensical opinions and get reactions...

That's life I guess.

Hey, i'm sorry but it's bad for you. That shit your smoking it's against the will of god, i knew a man next door to me who had pain in his wooden leg, he used to smoke a lot of that shit and he died. He used to sell me stripey paint back in the day, that stuff is against the will of god and i'm sorry you need to put that down right now.

Otherwise you are gonna get so fucked up in the afterlife.

Precisely.

BlueLion sees nothing wrong with personal & recreational marijuana use. Yet wants us to get hold of it through dealers illegally lmao, rather than a nice shop so it can be safely regulated, like in the netherlands.

Incorrect on so many levels.

1 - I see plenty of things wrong with smoking marijuana. Not because of the mental or physical health implications, but because of what Kostas so excellent summarises here:

In the same way the video (which I'm watching right now) is a sad reflection on the world. When people (who appear to be no strangers to the intellectual processes that define our species) need to chemically alter their cognitive state to gain insight on existential issues you know we fucked up so bad there's hardly any coming back.

2 - where and when did I even say I want people to be able to get hold of weed through illegal means?

3 - the Netherlands is a freak example. It is the only country in the world where things are relegated thus, because of its left-wing nigh-radicalism. Holland is a freely-regulated state with an incredibly liberal and laid-back government, using it as an example in a world where conservatism rules the roost is not the best of case studies in my opinion.

It's a shame ignorant daily mail readers like yourself are able to spout nonsensical opinions and get reactions...

That's life I guess.

You call people ignorant, yet you are completely intolerant of an opinion that even slightly contradicts or challenges your own.

Marijuana is damaging for your health TermX and makes you violent, it's true!

Achohol > Marijuana

Alcohol is just as bad. My cousin went through the worst shit I have ever seen from smoking dope. No history in my family of any mental problems in regards to drugs but somehow he ended up with schizophrenia from marijuana. Worst 8 years of my familes lives.

My biggest obsession or addiction I should say is the internet. I waste way too much time on the damn web.

Do you mean porn? :Goober:

This entire thread is shocking, it's basically become a debate over weed. If anyone came on this forum they'd think we were advocating drugs use, smh.

What does smh mean BlueLion? Surely not the Sydney Morning Herald, which is what I as a Sydneysider interpret it.

I think this topic should be deleted. Half of the damn posts are TX attacking and disregarding people's opinions.

Also in the Netherlands they are restricting weed to nationals and people with things called 'Weed Cards'.

It will be appealed, tourists won't be banned until 2013/15. The rest of Holland and 'Amsterdam' are two different things anyway, Amsterdam stands alone when it comes to policy, the council won't implement it.

Also, the government has fallen, new elections may be just around the corner.

Thank, all the information I knew about the topic was second hand. There is still hope for my eventual travels!
