Cannabis is no soft drug, UN warns
    #5795303 - 06/27/06 09:51 AM (17 years, 7 months ago)

http://www.smh.com.au/news/world/cannabis-is-no-soft-drug-un-warns/2006/06/27/1151174201752.html

"Today the harmful characteristics of cannabis are no longer that different from those of other plant-based drugs such as cocaine and heroin," he said.

The UN report estimates that 160 million people use the drug worldwide, with a growing market for stronger strains.

The study claimed a "significant" number of cannabis users experienced panic attacks, paranoia and "psychotic symptoms" during cannabis intoxication.

actualy i kinda agree that loads of people ARE expiriancing these symptoms... the question is how they deal with it! it doesn't mean that most cannabis users are crazy but IMHO cannabis is INDEED not the benign drug we stoners would like to belive :shrug:

i've had my problames with weed but i've gotten over it and learned when i should smoke and how much (but not all people are as mathodic as me...)

I get really anxious when I smoke.. I only smoke a little if I'm drinking and the mood is right..oherwise, Im not a pothead anymore.  I can't help but pace around the room when I'm blazed, looking for something to clean :lol:

Every drug has side effects. But the answer is not to make them illegal but to objectively inform people of the risks. Nearly everything has risks but people should be able, and are in most cases besides drugs, to make their own decision.

you're right... i was only making the point that cannabis isn't as benign as stoners often make it out to be!

and maybe more so today because of the change in social communication? its a diffrent world out there right now then 20 years ago... social interaction has changed alot...

What is with the barrage of anti-cannabis propaganda lately? It's really, really pissing me off.

no shit... ppl have bad trips on weed to and the paranoia and what not is ppl getting nervous about it, weed is NOT like other drugs which are usually poisons like alcohol causing ure high, your brain has a speacil receptor the tetrahydrocanibinoid which reacts to the THC so in a way you could say are brain is adapted and built to smoke wee unlike other drus, FUCK what the UN says

No, the whole point of smoking weed is to alter your consciousness. But instead I get paranoid because I think the gestapo is going to kick down my door and make me do what they want, think what they want, and buy what they want.
Oh wait.... the TV already does that for them!

THC resembles a chemical which is produced within the body, and binds to the receptor site for that said chemical.

The receptors are not there to "specifically" get high on cannabis. It just so happens that THC is chemically similiar to an endogenous compound. Same story for tryptamines (LSD, Psilocybin.)
