(regarding marijuana)
It is far worse than alcohol, in that it is an open door to demons.

Yes, it is far worse than alcohol
Umm, no. Alcohol is worse.

Take a note of the chart at the bottom
Damn demons of peace, relaxation, giggles, and munchies... The angels of drunken violence, depression, and life-destruction are far preferable.
Yeah, like nicotine is worse than strychnine... and so what? if I want to damage a few thousands of brain cells I'm perfectly free of doing it as long as I dont damage anyone else. But if I was in your shoes, I'd be careful, you might kill those few neurons you've been left with.
Jeff! pass it on, U sticky fingers!
Tdevil -- While I don't recommend driving while stoned, I think you're right.
Similarly, I've never seen nor heard of anyone beating his wife or, really, becoming violent in anyway because he was stoned.
I've never seen or heard of anyone physically addicted to pot. No one gets the shaky DTs waiting for his next toke.
If there were actually any demons, they would be stampeding through the aircraft hanger doors opened by alcohol.
A drunk driver is likely to run a stop sign, whereas a stoner is more likely to wait for it to turn green...
An amusing way to put it, but it's probably true. The only study I know of comparing the two (from the Netherlands) concluded that people who were driving stoned almost universally recognized that they were impaired and drove slower than normal.
Open to demons?, neurological disorders by association or what?. Let´s put it clear, is marijuana dangerous?, if not moderated yes. Is it worse than alcohol?, nope. Is it open to demons?, before you go forward, what is a demon to you, a red horned guy with cloven feet or what?
i agree, way worse. except you can't overdose, you can't become physically addicted, and it won't make you fat.
"Tdevil -- While I don't recommend driving while stoned, I think you're right."
Oh, come on, the only thing the guy on pot driving will crash into is his garage door as he is backing out, going 2mph.
matt: "i agree, way worse. except you can't overdose, you can't become physically addicted, and it won't make you fat."
Absolutely correct on the first two. Not sure about the third. I knew a girl in high school with the nickname of "Wideload" whose obesity was reportedly caused by giving in to marijuana-induced munchies on a regular basis.
Oh, absolutely. I used to live with someone in college who took drugs occasionally, and he did terrible things. He criticized Bush, and listened to Noam Chomsky (I believe), and he even cooked. Clearly the man was possessed.
Except that this is the real world, where demons don't exist.
Marijuana has a total of one case of reported death since the 60s. Compare that to the alcohol figures, and let's use percentages to adjust for number of users.
...Fuck, man, can you be more wrong?
If you want to enjoy the weed in peace, lock your doors and close the window curtains. Do not - I repeat, do not - leave the door open. If you do, demons will get in and try to Bogart your stash. (At least that's what I think Aimel is implying.)
you know jezebelle, i'm sure thats entirely possible, but, i think she probably would have been fat anyways. i never get the munchies so much that i'd eat more than a regular meal.
According to GOVT studies, pot does'nt have an effect on mortality, nothing to show it is a 'gateway' drug, it IS a medicinal drug, and even FOUR studies that show that it may PREVENT cancer.
The W.H.O. put out a study years ago that showed that marijuana is less harmful then booze or smoking (duh) but the story was kept hush (the evidence is there if you want to look for it, it was published).
Pot is a natural growing plant with no additives.
Alcohol is poison, and getting drunk is essentially poisoning yourself but just a little. At least that's the plan when one starts. Overdosing is impossible with pot unless you have the concentrated, made-in-the-lab stuff.
There are literally books of information about the negative effects of alcohol. But hey, these religious types have never let facts get in the way of an argument before! So what if most of the folks incarcerated in America are in for non-violent drug offences, they're full of demons!
"The demons of relaxation, pain relief, and anti-nausea."
Little factoid here: when my mother was in chemotherapy about 8 years ago, she was told that marijuana would help relieve her symptoms IF she had smoked it before. Since she never had, she was told that starting during chemo would only make her more sick.
(She went through chemo just fine on standard anti-nausea pills, so it never became an issue.)
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
