why it becomes addictive

[access]

Here are the mental effects ive experienced:
We all have imperfections, pain in some area or another, physically and mentaly, It feels like these things, dont really disapear, but an almost awareness from the perception of an on looker. Like seeing yourself from a 3rd person point of view. Your hearing, or perseption of hearing definitely come into play, noises seem louder then they really are. Vision is changed in the respect that you take in objects as more of a whole and less focusing in on areas in or around the object. It gives you a sense of comfort and peace with yourself and the ppl around you. Makes you feel calm and relaxed.

Here are the physical effects ive experienced:
It definately helps take away arthritis pain wich i have much of, perception is changed in that of scale, things seem scaled up including ones self, so you seem to see more.

I think that the only bad point about it is wen u dont have it or dont ration it properly, if i get myself to a point were my pain goes away I stop and dont think about having more till the pain comes back. This doesnt mean it cant be abused tho, if you take in excess you'll only need in excess later to get same effect, but just like you have alcohalics you'll also have potheads, its just ashame the worst out of the two is the legal one.

For many ppl the pain was always there before they started smoking , since it takes away the pain, we stop having to cope with it, and get used to not coping with it, so when we go without, the pain seems new n fresh even tho it was always there and was just being temporarily covered from smoking, this is what makes it hard to quit, because who doesnt wanna be pain free right?

I think research needs to be done, ive given you my research, and many others on this forum and around the globe give theirs, why doesnt the goverment step up and do the research that so many others have done and want them to do? Same reason that hydrogen power generators and electric cars arnt here or public, its sad really that monitary value has taken over not only the ppl but the ppls goverment as well.

-just my thoughts

Most goverments are run by big companies and I am sure they don't feel that they can make much profit form legal weed . I have somked weed for many years and I can tell you that my smoking weed was cause I had some pain of my own that I did not want to deal with so I can undrerstand what you are saying .

There has always been speculation that if weed was legalized, it wouldn't be such a problem. The reason they argue is because since it is illegal, many kids think it is "cool" or something, which is idiotic. If it were legalized, there would be little profit since anyone could grow and sell it and there'd be less incentive for people to produce because the super-high profit margins would be gone.

There is nothing wrong with weed , I don't know why these goverments are making such a problem with it . The cost of herbs these days are alway going up and I am sure that it will not be cheap for weed also .

The time when weed would be legalised would bring many problems alonwith it. Consider this: Since it is illegal, you have to make some effort in obtaining it and pay more price. Now when it becomes legal, it is easily available and school kids and college going kids can have it whenever they want to have it. And since it is a nice feeling when you are under the effect of mj, you would take it day-in-night-out.

And no one of us, atleast I think so, would like such a scene.
