Whether dangerous or not...

Submitted by cristina.smith95 on Wed, 07/29/2009 - 18:38

Cannabis is not dangerous literally if we don't tolerate the use of it and utilize it properly whenever it is just medically needed. However, it is still a drug. The perception of it is still there. The only thing we can help ourselves to know whether we are abusing the use of it or not, is to educate ourselves more about it.

i could say that smoking marijuana is overall more harmfull than smoking normal tabacco. it can increase the risk of having head cancer and lungs complication.

You said that the perception is there! That its a drug. Do you mean that its the perception of the culture and world or that it is your own perception?

If it is your own perception then why is it like that?

Isn't perception really just a label?

Who said that cannabis was a drug anyway? God? or you?

I don't think that there is a society that votes on what is a drug or not. I think its not even a perception. I think its an existing entitity. What makes an existing entity? By how it doesn't exist. Let me give an example. Because of the lack of butterfly wings, and the form of an elephant, we know it is an elephant.

Here's what I mean. Something exists in a certain way because of the way it doesn't exist. We say, "oh its not a ball." And thats what makes it a ball actually. We are literally seeing things backwards.

So something that doesn't exist. Empty space. Because of empty space there is something. Get it?

We see...oh the thing doesn't have an ear...it doesn't have a tail, then we actually say "its this."

We don't really know what the thing is. It is a lack of parts.

We are forming our projections of reality by the absence of form.

form is emptiness emptiness is form, as the heart sutra says.

when we are looking at nothing, we are seeing something.

That is what is meant by perception.

It is the abscence of reality that constructs our view.

the view is original wisdom which is empty. milarepa

what is empty? Our view...and you.

A view could be anything...

try to pretend....remember!

A view is not anything

Good/bad?

Why do we see things as good or bad? They really are good or bad it seems....

Just ask yourself, is it good or bad, seriously.

Why?

We want to ignore it with all our heart

something is making us see this.

I don't know what are you trying to say here. God don't need to tell that cannabis can cure. God created things that is useful in other way. That's how cannabis take on place. They got this medicinal character that can cure correspondent illnesses. I know that medical cannabis got bad side effect. I got a question for you? I you got illness that only cannabis can cure? would you still call it bad?

No doubt about it. Marijuana has a lot of advantages and disadvantages. It feels good. Anything that feels good will somehow be abused eventually. That's human nature.

Marijuana can cause temporary toxic psychosis if you take it in very large doses (eaten rather than smoked). But this does not cause profound changes in human behavior.

Marijuana is a herbal medicine. It gives a relieving sensation that soothes certain physical illness. I am just curious if it really also helps cure cancer.

I don't know if it can cure cancer. But I've heard that it can cure lungs diseases. I was wondering why since we all know that smoking marijuana is a dangerous thing to do. But how come it can cure lung diseases? I don't know the scientifically explaination about this, I just read it way before and I forgot the whole information.

george Says...


cancers are untreatable. but there are certain compounds found in cannabis that have proven to stop prostate cancer cells from multiplying. same with lung diseases.

sherwin Says...


so if this cannabis can stop prostate cancer cells from multiplying, does it mean to say that this can also protect us against having prostate cancer? any more information for this?

Probably this would allow the abusive use of marijuana if dispensaries won't ask for a prescription from a physician.

kimberly Says...


generally speaking, Cannabis is a gateway drug. It is not addictive if used for medical purposes. but if abused, it may lead to the use of other addictive drugs.

i don't know if it actually cures cancer but i heard that it can help with the discomfort caused by chemo. this can also stimulate apetite which is usually decreased while on chemo.
