Relationships and AddictionWhether it's drugs, alcohol, gambling, sex, pornography, or anything else, addictions can be detrimental to the health of a relationship.
Marijuana is sold down here by the ounce. It is usually sold in those little resealable plastic bags like those you get prescription drugs in.
Then you can purchase the paper wrapper [ Bambu paper ] in the supermarket, wrap your own joint and smoke it. How To Roll A Blunt Out Of Fronto Leaf & Bambu!!! - Grasscity.com Forums
They sell pipes and papers at our convenience stores around our city, they even have specialty stores that sell all sorts of smoke items, bongs and such.... For tobacco use of course
ETA.. the MJ itself is sold like that here and sometimes completely sealed depending on the source.
I know that cravings for crack or heroin are ten times worse than any yen for weed. So if someone smokes some laced ganja, they know right away because the cravings are stronger and the high is different.
It is not a waste of money if addicts keep coming back for more of that "special weed." Maybe this doesn't make sense to you because you are not aware of what drug dealers do to increase potency. Weed can be laced with cocaine, Windex (yes, really) or any other drug that can be hidden in a spliff.

That sucks. All the more reason to legalise and control.
Where I live it is mostly home-grown and traded between friends, so you know it is safe.
More of a reason to know who you're getting it from.
P.S. I did a quick Google search on glass in bud. It appears there was a purported epidemic in the UK in 2008... The validity of that claim has been debated.
i think its fairly naive to think there are thieves and rip offs only in certain parts of the world.
its also been reported that they spray it with lead and other harmful metals you cant see or glues and other chemicals to give it the 'appearance' of having more resins in it to make it more appealing.
also i dont like the idea that the growing of this has spilled over into our forests and national parks along the west coast by the mostly mexican drug lords. hikers and campers getting caught up in booby traps and getting killed by accidentally coming across these criminals gardens.
one thing that could put a stop to these activities is to legalize it and take the profits away from these types of people.

I did not say it was only in that part of the world... But that is the only news worthy incident of it happening lately (2008), if you can find another incident of that happening more recently, I'd love to see a link, I could not find anything..
I won't debate the rest with you, don't know enough about it.
There is a lot of myth and paranoia about weed, most of it is teenage urban legend. I have smoked for 20 years in 4 countries and 2 continents and I have never seen even a single shred of credible evidence linking marijuana directly to a single death.
You can find identical scare stories about mobile phones, the MMR vaccine and bottled water left in a car.
Mature people know that these stories are just that, stories.

Basically what I have been trying to say since last week.
I have never smoked Marijuana, but I grew up around people who used to cultivate Marijuana and sell it. I have NEVER seen a man " high on weed " doing ANYTHING erratic of dangerous. Most times I would remember when those around me were " high " they ate lots of food and went to bed. They always hibernate after smoking.
Like almost anything else, it could be addictive ,and it should be controlled like alcohol, not banned. Too much resources is spent trying to enforce that ban.

Which is why it won`t be legalized.
The people who end up pocketing those resources are in positions of power and won`t give up their golden goose.
Weed is somthing the government should make legal. i dont do it, but i know many that do. i grew up with parents that will smoke crack, snort cocaine and pills. to me weed is the best choice if you wanna get a high. it doesnt effect your body in a bad way like other legal things (beer, nicotine...etc)
Plenty of studies on marijuana. It is NOT physically addictive it is all in your head. It is a matter for each person who is using whatever they are using to escape life's problems or realities when drugs and alcohol become the problem. I know, I've been through it, watched many, many people, been inside too many rooms not to be able to see how it affects others. As a medical marijuana advocate the history and chemical changes that are in reaserach and development to enhance cannabinoids such as the CDB's today are much different that they were back in the 50's and 60's when THC was enriched in the plants DNA just for that purpose

Again whatever "form" of addiction it falls under is a moot point to me; because I could easily say the same thing about alchohol not being addictive because it's never had that effect on me no matter how many times I consume it, but there's a million alchoholics & ex-alchoholics out there who would strongly beg to differ I'm sure.
