It is impossible to overdose on pot. They have found it to kill cancer cells and no one has ever (legally on a death certificate) got cancer from it or died in a car accident from it. Smoking it can cause lung irritation and there are better ways to do it like eating or vaporizing it.
Almost all religions have used it in their ceremonies and it has been used for medicine since the early Chinese discovered it's uses. Not to mention all the uses for the Hemp fiber, like clothes, fuel, oxygen, etc.
Don't always believe what the government tells you. Governor Schwarzenegger used it and was caught on video. He needs to quit being a hypocrite and legalize it.  |
marijuana was made illegal because of some lies that the drug commisioner made up saying that it made u more agressive, such as making you want to kill ur brother, and for racial reasons.im not racist but white ppl back then said that it made a mexican or black man feel the right to look a white man in the eye, and caused a white woman to want to have sexual relations with a black man
