Interesting articles on Marijuana?

I know a ton of them, is there any health aspect of marijuana that you're particularly interested in?

 

yes, a lot, I'll be able to get them for you in a few minutes

 

I know the scientific process involves forming a hypothesis then testing to see if it's valid. Like you said you want articles that show its usefulness and how it isn't harmful (your hypothesis). I think a better way is to look at the available evidence with an open mind, maybe you'll find that it's a safe substance with beneficial properties or maybe you'll find that it's a dangerous substance that will harm those who use it and the society they live in. That way your research won't be biased.

hey amsterdamage, I copied that post of yours into a debate I'm having on another forum, hope you don't mind but lemme know if you want to take credit for it; I'd just as soon not have this forum get overrun by a few thousand people from a different forum is why I just pasted the links.

 

its 4:20 am

 

no problem man, I don't mind or need any credit

..I'm just trying to learn as much as I can about the health aspects regarding marijuana, when I find something interesting I like to post it here in the City
cos I believe everybody pro-marijuana should know everything they can about it and the bullshit arguments being used to keep it illegal.


Happy tokin' man

 

i wanna say thanks to amsterdamage for the awesome links! i saved them all to word, i havn't looked at them all yet.. but damn!

+rep if i can figure out how to do it.

 

I feel like bumping this post again, it's been a huge help in my debates on other forums.
