  • Because the people who put the bible together were a bunch of fucking politicians long after jesus was dead, fucking duh

  • He tells them all to sell their cloaks to buy swords, and the line after that they say they've already got two swords between the lot of them, and jesus says yeah actually that's enough. Then two or three lines later when they attempt to actually use their swords to defend jesus from arrest he rebukes them. As a justification for use of violent force it's pretty flimsy.

  • Doesn't matter how many people choose to interpret it that way if they can't justify that interpretation

  • Ecclesiastes is old testament, jesus brought the new covenant, if you claim to be a follower if christ then not only are you no longer bound by the edicts of the old testament but are actively denigrating christ's sacrifice by failing to adhere to the new instead

  • They're not manufacturing anything, jesus himself said turn the other cheek

  • Been there, worth it

  • You're not sorry for shit, you're just upset that you got caught deliberately misrepresenting the contents of those studies, and now you're looking to do the same thing about me personally because you don't have to a leg to stand on and you know it. Nobody ever calls daily coffee drinkers addicts, it's psychoactive and far easier to die from. Your bullshit is painfully obvious and nobody is buying it. Get a job.

  • Idk what part of "you lost" is confusing you, you have been proven completely wrong and as predicted you refuse to admit it. The personal attacks are entirely warranted, you're a lying sack of shit.

  • Fair, I've been smoking pretty close to daily for over 20 years now and only met one person who managed to smoke/eat enough weed to trigger hyperemesis. It requires absurd dosages constantly for weeks without stopping, not impossible but definitely nowhere near as big a problem as this article or some commenters are suggesting.

  • Several more paragraphs of alarmist drug war bullshit, didn't work the first time idk why you'd think repeating the same failed strategy would yield different results.

    I never said smoking anything was safe or harmless, I said marijuana was safer than any other recreational drug by far regardless of ingestion method, and that any method other than inhalation completely negates any respiratory effects.

    Your first study, linked directly because it's actually really easy to do https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8229290/

    From the conclusion: "...data are not sufficiently strong to suggest that cannabis use adversely affects the progression of viral diseases...it is also evident that cannabis or its constituents, including THC and CBD, have some beneficial effects such as improving appetite and food intake in patients with HIV/AIDS and positive effects in patients with hepatic steatosis"

    So not only does your first source not support your claims, it actually says a whole bunch of the opposite!

    Your second study https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7442038/

    Again, direct quotes: "We have evidence suggesting that cannabis use, primarily THC in cannabis, in genetically predisposed or at-risk populations, leads to earlier diagnosis of psychosis/schizophrenia."

    Oh hey look, that's literally exactly what I said! And it goes on

    "Recent trials in therapeutic CBD use are showing its alleviating effect on positive symptoms of schizophrenia and its opposing effect on THC, which warrants further research."

    So not only is there no evidence of any risk of psychosis or schizophrenia for anyone who isn't already genetically predisposed, but there's actually evidence that specific cannabinoids in isolation can alleviate symptoms! Wow, another source betrays you

    Your third study https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S014976341100073X

    And more direct quotes that clearly illustrate how stupid you are: "...cannabis use is clearly not an essential or sufficient risk factor as not all schizophrenic patients have used cannabis and the majority of cannabis users do not develop schizophrenia."

    I don't doubt for a moment that you could post a dozen more studies, and I'm just as certain that they'd all also do nothing to support your inane claims. You lose! If you had any dignity at all you'd admit it, but I think we both know you don't.

  • No proof whatsoever that the referenced psychotic disorders were caused by cannabis use, correlative misrepresentation is nothing new for anti-marijuana propaganda.

    Smoking anything is bad for lung health, does nothing to change the fact that marijuana is the safest recreational substance in existence, especially when ingested in any other way.

    "May supress the immune sustem" no evidence provided lol, unsubstantiated speculation, embarassingly weak

    "Can increase risk of developing schizophrenia" also well documented that it has no chance whatsoever of causing schizophrenia in individuals that aren't already hereditarily prone to developing it, at most it can accelerate onset

    I'm not going to waste my time individually addressing the many unsubstantiated claims you've copypasted here, it's clear you don't actually give a shit about what's true and are just here to push an agenda. Get a job.
