*NSFW - Although I don't smoke pot, I feel that it is safer than alcohol, the people I've seen on it are usually very mellow, relaxed, non-violent people. It should not be illegal.

"Never conceal your stash in plain sight."

SOMEONE GET CAPTAIN OBVIOUS HIS CAPE AND TIGHTS

My god what a hassle. Where I'm from cops would only take it away unless it's a large quantity. Getting arrested for carrying one joint is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Way to waste taxpayer money!

This must be Trip Fisk's younger brother.

Enjoy your permanent brain damage and lung cancer.

Talk out your arse much cobalt?

[edit] Toxicity
According to the Merck Index,[2] the LD50 (dosage lethal to 50% of rats tested) of Δ9-THC by inhalation is 42 mg/kg of body weight. That is the equivalent of a man weighing 75 kg (165 lb) inhaling the THC found in 21 grams of extremely high-potency (15% THC) marijuana all in one sitting, assuming no THC is lost through smoke loss or absorption by the lungs. For oral consumption, the LD50 for male rats is 1270 mg/kg, and 730 mg/kg for females—equivalent to the THC in about a pound of 15% THC marijuana.[3] The ratio of cannabis material required to saturate cannabinoid receptors to the amount required for a fatal overdose is 1:40,000.[4] There have been no reported deaths or permanent injuries sustained as a result of a marijuana overdose. It is practically impossible to overdose on marijuana, as the user would certainly either fall asleep or otherwise become incapacitated from the effects of the drug before being able to consume enough THC to be mortally toxic. According to a United Kingdom government report, using cannabis is less dangerous than tobacco, prescription drugs, and alcohol in social harms, physical harm and addiction.[5]





[edit] Confounding combination
The most obvious confounding factor in cannabis research is the prevalent usage of other recreational drugs, including alcohol and tobacco.[6] One paper claims marijuana use can increase risk of squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck. [7] Such complications demonstrate the need for studies on cannabis that have stronger controls, and investigations into the symptoms of cannabis use that may also be caused by tobacco. Some people question whether the agencies that do the research try to make an honest effort to present an accurate, unbiased summary of the evidence, or whether they "cherry-pick" their data, and others caution that the raw data, and not the final conclusions, are what should be examined.[8]

However, contrasting studies have linked the smoking of cannabis to lung cancer and the growth of cancerous tumors.[9][10][11][12] A 2002 report by the British Lung Foundation estimated that three to four cannabis cigarettes a day were associated with the same amount of damage to the lungs as 20 or more tobacco cigarettes a day.[13] Some of these finding may be attributed to the well-known custom that many British citizens often mix tobacco with marijuana. It should also be noted that a recent study conducted at a lab in UCLA has found no link between marijuana usage and lung cancer.[citation needed]

Cannabis also has a synergistic toxic effect with the food additive Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and possibly the related compound butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT). The study concluded, "Exposure to marijuana smoke in conjunction with BHA, a common food additive, may promote deleterious health effects in the lung." BHA & BHT are man-made fat preservatives, and are found in many packaged foods including: plastics in boxed Cereal, Jello, Slim Jims, and more. [14]


[edit] Memory
Cannabis is known to act on the hippocampus (an area of the brain associated with memory and learning), and impair short term memory and attention for the duration of its effects and in some cases for the next day[15]. In the long term, some studies point to enhancement of particular types of memory.[16] Cannabis was found to be neuroprotective against excitotoxicity and is therefore beneficial for the prevention of progressive degenerative diseases like Alzheimer's disease.[17] A 1998 report commissioned in France by Health Secretary of State Bernard Condevaux and directed by Dr. Pierre-Bernard Roques determined that, "former results suggesting anatomic changes in the brain of chronic cannabis users, measured by tomography, were not confirmed by the accurate modern neuro-imaging techniques," (like MRI). "Moreover, morphological impairment of the hippocampus [which plays a part in memory and navigation] of rat after administration of very high doses of THC (Langfield et al., 1988) was not shown (Slikker et al., 1992)" (translated). He concluded that cannabis does not have any neurotoxicity as defined in the report, unlike alcohol and cocaine.[18][19][20]


[edit] Adulterated cannabis
Contaminants may be found in hashish when consumed from soap bar-type sources[21]. The dried flowers of the plant may be contaminated by the plant taking up heavy metals and other toxins from its growing environment[22]. Recently, there have been reports of herbal cannabis being adulterated with minute (silica [usually glass or sand], or sugar} crystals in the UK and Ireland. These crystals resemble THC in appearance, yet are much heavier, and so serve again to increase the weight, and hence street value of the cannabis[23].


[edit] Pregnancy
Studies have found that children of marijuana-smoking mothers more frequently suffer from permanent cognitive deficits, concentration disorders, hyperactivity, and impaired social interactions than non-exposed children of the same age and social background.[24][25] A recent study with participation of scientists from Europe and the United States, have now identified that endogenous cannabinoids, molecules naturally produced by our brains and functionally similar to THC from cannabis, play unexpectedly significant roles in establishing how certain nerve cells connect to each other. The formation of connections among nerve cells occurs during a relatively short period in the fetal brain. The study tries to give a closer understanding of if and when cannabis damages the fetal brain[26][27].[28]

Other studies on Jamaica have suggested that cannabis use by expectant mothers does not appear to cause birth defects or developmental delays in their newborn children.[29][30] In a study in 1994 of Twenty-four Jamaican neonates exposed to marijuana prenatally and 20 non exposed neonates comparisons were made at 3 days and 1 month old, using the Brazelton Neonatal Assessment Scale, including supplementary items to capture possible subtle effects. Results showed there were no significant differences between exposed and nonexposed neonates on day 3. At 1 month, the exposed neonates showed better physiological stability and required less examiner facilitation to reach organized states. The neonates of heavy-marijuana-using mothers had better scores on autonomic stability, quality of alertness, irritability, and self-regulation and were judged to be more rewarding for caregivers. This work was supported by the March of Dimes Foundation.[31]


[edit] Cancer
On 23 May 2006, Donald Tashkin, M.D., Professor of Medicine at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA in Los Angeles announced that the use of cannabis does not appear to increase the risk of developing lung cancer, or increase the risk of head and neck cancers, such as cancer of the tongue, mouth, throat, or esophagus.[32]The study involved 2252 participants, with some of the most chronic marijuana smokers having smoked over 22,000 marijuana cigarettes.[32][33][34][35] The finding of Donald Tashkin, M.D., and his team of researchers in 2006 refines their earlier studies published in a Dec. 17th 2000 edition of the peer-reviewed journal Cancer Epidemiology Biomarker and Prevention.[12] Many opponents of marijuana incorrectly cite the original finding of UCLA Medical Center from 2000 as "proof" that marijuana leaves the users at higher risk for cancer of the lung, and cancerous tumors,[9] even though the researchers at the UCLA Medical Center have revised their finding with a more in-depth study on the effects of the use of marijuana. This seemed to contradict assumptions made after some studies, like those from Dale Geirringer et al., which found that 118 carcinogens were produced when marijuana underwent combustion, and two carcinogens {2-Methyl-2, 4(2H-1-benzopyran-5-ol) & 5-[Acetyl benz[e]azulene-3,8-dione} formed when marijuana underwent vaporization with the Volcano Vaporizer.[36] To help explain this seemingly chemical proof of carcinogenity inherent in the process of combustion, Tashkin noted that "one possible explanation for the new findings, he said, is that THC, a chemical in marijuana smoke, may encourage aging cells to die earlier and therefore be less likely to undergo cancerous transformation."[32]

Heh. "Vee-Hic-Al."

Hey, I've got a great way to not get caught. Don't smoke marijuana.

"Age twelve to infinity?" Seems like some pot smokers live to a ripe old age.

//Hey, I've got a great way to not get caught. Don't smoke marijuana.//

I don't smoke much myself, but I'm an American idealist and I still believe that people have every right in the world to defy laws that are unreasonable. And I can't see how anyone could disagree that our pot laws are unreasonable. (I'm not going to go into how much less dangerous pot is than alcohol, Xanax, etc. You've heard all those arguments already.)

Hard for a dog to smell up high? Man, this guy is as stupid as he sounds.
Wtf does hight have anything to do with it? Yeah, maybe it it was 60 feet up, but what is three feet going to matter?

Someone point this moron to the MythBusters.

mmmm, illegal-brownies...

Upvote for a cop recognizing personal liberty.

Everyone knows every study is final and 100% conclusive, and wikipedia is the perfect authority.

Smokers shouldn't be in cars with a portable supply, any more than someone should have to stash open liquor containers there (also like this slackjawed redneck). There are DUI laws as well as moral responsibilities we all share as part of the privilege of driving in a society. Smoke it at home, and stay the hell off the streets, lest your freedom take away someone else's life.

"Well how do we get it home then?" Your habit, your problem.

"It's a really good idea to hide your stash in hard to find places"

Upvote for there being a beer in the center console

Why have an un-smoked doobie in your car at all? Seems like a waste to me.

VeHICKal... know your veHICKal

I just love when people like this guy justify their speil by way of keeping 'good AMERICAN people with FAMILIES out of prison'... not emotive at all.

I have no problem with mull, but man, that kind of shit at the start is ridiculous.

"There are DUI laws as well as moral responsibilities we all share as part of the privilege of driving in a society. Smoke it at home, and stay the hell off the streets, lest your freedom take away someone else's life."

Yes, that's where our society needs to be: Making laws from fear. Great one, viewer_999, way to miss the point of freedom entirely. And, I'm not sure where you're from, but we have a thing in the States known as freedom of movement, and since the only way to move you or your family from one state to another is via vehicle, then I'm not sure driving should be a priviledge in the first place.

Did that guy really just suggest that pot smokers be creative?

"Yes, that's where our society needs to be: Making laws from fear."

I have a healthy fear of idiots under the influence driving down the road putting MY life in danger. So yes, in the case of stupid dopeheads driving down the road, society does need a law prohibiting it.

And as a side note, anyone who actually believes the crap in this video should check out my Ebay auctions for beachfront property in Wyoming.

How do you know they're putting your life in danger? You cannot just assume someone is putting your life in danger because they have narcotics in their car. That's just silly. As an aside, my point wasn't for bolstering anarchy, it was to point out how critical we should be of making laws from fear instead of reason.

None in Arizona, BillO? That's too bad.
Well, will you at least throw the Golden Gate in free?

Yes, that's where our society needs to be: Making laws from fear.

If putting forward the reality of yearly DUI related fatalities is just "spreading fear" then what exactly would be adequate justification? Or for any rule of society? It's also illegal to set fire to a packed movie theater because oh, you may just hurt some people... but that's a conspiracy too; it's just spreading fear!

since the only way to move you or your family from one state to another is via vehicle, then I'm not sure driving should be a priviledge in the first place.

You make odd statements. You need to move your family, and therefore toting ready-to-enjoy doobies around in your car is fine? It is not, and you are permitted to drive in this country, provided you do so according to the rules. In my opinion, the rules are too lax. It's a multi-ton device, a lethal weapon when used carelessly. Tens of thousands die yearly. A drunk driver should lose his/her license for life. Ride the damned bus if you're so irresponsible.

Note that anything I've posted is completely separate from opinions on legalization and the inconsistencies and short sightedness revolving around that -- this is only about DUI. Keep it off the road.

^Then by your logic, the government should outlaw sidewalks because they're too close to those multi-ton devices, also known as vehicles. Hell, just outlaw automotives entirely, for that matter.

blankfist do you realize how ridiculous you sound? We make laws because people get hurt or killed otherwise. Not to instill 'fear' in people. People generate their own fear because they can't stay in the confines of a normal society. Freedom cannot be guaranteed without laws to govern it. Freedom doesn't mean you can do whatever you want it means you have more choices if you comply with laws.

Well, umm, he kind of worked with them on a daily basis for several years.

ok this is for all yall smart asses that think yall know anything about this man...He is from Big Sandy Texas. I know this man personally along with his wife candy daughter kelsie... the guy that said he must be Trip Frisks younger brother...WRONG!!!

he is a very smart man and whoever is burning his videos and putting them on the web i got something for you...the money he makes selling these videos feed his kids, his handycap son. So if you want to see the videos he comes out with just by the dam things instead of burning and posting them on the web ILLEGALLY
