I get to teach my class !!!

Man I'm exited i asked my health teacher if i could teach the class about pot. I read what the text book had to say and i couldn't stand it i have to put the FACTS out there. I'm covering How it DOESN'T kill your brain cells it doesn't cause cancer studies are proving its a neuron protector It only effects your memory when your on it, so it doesn't damage your brain. How it helps prevent some diseases, like mad cow disease etc. also its helps prevent stroke. that people who call it a "gate way drug." are wrong pot doesn't make you try other drugs. Also there have been no marijuana caused deaths...unless it was involved by the users own irresponsibility
But I'm trying not to be bias so i will mention it does actually increase you chance of infection in the lungs and throat. cotton mouth paranoia...but that mainly happens with noobs.
So i was wondering if any one had any thing to add?
Ive also heard that cotton mouth is your body's way of getting rid of tar...but I'm not sure about that one. thanks guys !

how would cottonmouth get rid of tar? also i'd like to see where you read about pot stopping mad cow disease. that sounds made up to me. otherwise you have good points already. if i were you i'd point out the fact that many consider tobacco and alcohol as a gateway drug.

Yeah I'd leave that out. It made me LOL so I'm sure it will grab some giggles from your classmates too.

http://norml.org/index.cfm?Group_ID=7362 there's the link its saying CBD help prevent it i believe. And yea i thought the same thing about cotton mouth, so until i can get legitimate info on it i wont mention it. i don't want to spread false information. Thanks for the alcohol and tobacco ideas man

Im pretty sure smoking anything will cause cancer. I just dont think the risk assessment is as great as smoking cigs because there isnt any of that artifical shit in pot.

Marijauana is completely different from cigarette tar if you didn't know, cigarette tar causes permanent damage in your lungs by causing the alveoli in your lungs to burst and it leaves a coating of tar on your lungs. Marijauana tar does not stay in your lungs, and it temporarily inflame

No that is completely wrong, THC does not cause cancer. And marijuana smoke does not cause cancer. The reason that cigarettes cause cancer is because of the radiation, not from "carcinogens". THC has recently been proven to be an antioxidant, and reduce/stop tumor growth in rats.

I recently wrote a 10 page thesis paper on marijuana but I don't have it and I'm not going to try and find it. I suggest you believe what I said, because I know what I'm talking about. Maybe do a little of your own research.

So, when you say something like:
"Studies are proving it's a neuron protector"
Have you ever read a scientific study (e.g. looked it up on pubmed), or is that just something you heard.
If I were a student I would say: "What studies?, can you show me those and how they were done?", or would you simply link me to a NORML page with that phrase in it?

Why of course i have, I'm not foolish enough to assume every thing is correct that i hear, I've researched it on http://www.erowid.org/plants/cannabis/cannabis.shtml and ive read a couple of the heath related published articles in the health section. And unfortunately i cannot SHOW you how its done, i lack the finds to conduct that kind of research, but for what i don't know ive asked around and for every source i get I'm trying to find evidence to support it. And if you read the article link i posted, it covers more than just one disease, with scientific study.
And i like that your challenging me it keeps me on my toes.

just do as much research as possible. In both places. If you can, throw in a little lesson about pointed out major biases in articles. And debunk that FUCKING study that "proved" that weed increases the chance of becoming a schizophrenic.

here's a few. There's actually been research that shows marijuana does indeed have a neuro-protective effect and is especially helpful when combined with MDMA as it lessens the damage it (MDMA) does. But I cant find the exact study right now and dont feel like digging for it.

I never said THC causes cancer. Smoking anything can cause cancer. You smoke a tree long enough it can cause cancer. Thats not to say you WILL get cancer just like you may not get it from smoking cigs you may also get it from smoking anything. Dont let pot head THC freaks tell you otherwise. Its not the THC that causes it, its the smoke itself.
