unfortunately, there is no way that is accurate.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 06:15 PM) And how many people only doing it because it is 'cool' or 'anti-establishment' will stop? Short term you may have an increase in users, but I think that long term you won't see much of a difference. if you can buy weed at the store, it's going to be consumed more. no question. i see more of a situation where some one smokes a joint after work rather than drinks a 6 pack. and honestly i prefer stoners to drunks.

QUOTE (Texsox @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 02:36 PM) Seems like there have been other studies. IIRC weren't there a lot of studies that showed how wonderful tobacco was? yea there have been. even the article quotes the guy running the study as saying " previous studies found that marijuana tar has 50 percent higher concentrations of chemicals linked to cancer than tobacco cigarette tar." smoking pot isn't good for you, but neither is boozing. and illegal booze causes way more problems then it solves. i feel the same way about marijuana

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 12:47 PM) I question why they used those two celebrities, you know? Of all the people with huge fame in america, they chose paris hilton and britney spears to be paired with Barack Obama. Trying a little sub-conscious workings are you McCain? hopefully no one accidentally votes for Paris Hilton. i suppose they could just recount votes and the ones written in for Paris Hilton would be changed to Obama due to voter intent. Those ballots were confusing!

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 12:52 PM) To my knowledge there are no links between marijuana use and cancer. There was a guy on another board I go to that had access to databases of medical studies (not open membership unfortunately or I'd go dig it up) and he couldn't find any studies that said there was. just as with tobacco, marijuana smoke contains a lot of bad stuff like carcinogens. but I am still for legalizing marijuana

QUOTE (Rex Kicka** @ Jul 26, 2008 -> 08:27 AM) If John Edwards would refuse to do the "Not The Father" dance, this clearly doesn't belong on Maury. why would he do that? that's the best part for contestants on the Maury show. a good dance and he would see his approval ratings (and chance at VP) sky rocket.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 25, 2008 -> 09:29 PM) Social Security. Anyway...this doesn't prove the government should be running everything. But if I were to campaign on the point that we'd gone well too far in stripping the government and trying to drown it in the streets of new orleans a bathtub as Grover Norquist suggested and as GW Bush has casually tried to do...here's an example of how we've swung way too far and it's costing us a lot. There's many others. This one's just pretty damn obvious and blatant. whoa, social security is the gold standard for a government program that is working? ouch. i hope you aren't depending on that for retirement, the money is going to be gone when we are old. and G W has increased government spending, he's a hack

wow, what a great win.
