"You can only get high off the dried leaves of the female plant"

Sort of true, but mostly untrue.

It's the FLOWERS of the female plant that get you the highest. (Also known as the "buds.")

The leaves themselves contain very little THC, and are next to useless for either medicinal or recreational purposes.

Hemp is not marijuana. Hemp is a neutered cousin of marijuana. You cannot grow hemp and marijuana in the same field because the hemp will sterilize the marijuana. Hemp cannot get you high. Hemp and marijuana are excellent plants for crop rotation because they both put nitrogen back into the soil. Most food crops like corn and wheat, pull nitrogen from the soil, which is why farmers use fertilizer which always has a nitrogen component. Instead of using a fallow field in rotation, hemp/marijuana actually put nitrogen and other minerals back into the soil which means farmers would use much less fertilizer. It is completely stupid that we criminalize the most valuable cash crop (hemp, not marijuana – although both should be legal) in the world. The U.S. was once the largest producer of rope in the world and then we outlawed hemp and we had to scramble to get rope during WWII for the Navy. Many people do not remember the government campaign during the war to induce people to grow hemp since Japan controlled the world supply of hemp during the war. Once the war was over, the ban went back into effect as if nothing had happened. It’s a shame.

Marijuana is not legal in Belgium, however it is in Netherland.

You blistering idiot, cannabis is NOT legal in Belgium.
It's SEMI legal in the Netherlands tough.
It's decriminalised in Germany and several other European countries.

GROWING and SELLING cannabis is still illegal in whole europe (except for rare licensed sellers in the Netherlands, with a very low limit)

GET INFORMED YOU IDIOT, and stop making false propaganda

Nobody has a problem with the production of hemp. Marijuana and hemp are not the same thing. One thing you should also know about marijuana is that becoming a regular user will make you a totally lazy waste of space. Buh, stoners annoy the hell out of me.

Whoever made this needs to get their facts straight. lol, and they are saying other people don't know the facts.

Saying that mariijuana doesn't increase your risk of lung cancer, and then recommending a vaporizer to avoid 'harmful smoke'?

I’m not sure that the number of deaths attributed to alcohol compared to marijuana is a fair comparison. Included within the figure presented here is the number deaths attributed to fatal car accidents where drunk driving is found to be the cause (The US CDC officially states there are roughly 300 deaths a year directly attributable to alcohol overdose.). Fatal accidents likely occur where drivers are stoned, but as no one tests for THC, who would know?

this website is soooo edgy…

ugh, your "infographic" or preachy b.s. makes me tired.

And it's not leagal why???????!!!!!!

#8 and #14 need changing.

#14 is easiest. Marijuana is a term used to refer to any wild growing tobacco plant.

#8. How is there no mention of the Marijuana Tax Stamp Act of 1937 ushered in by Anslinger. The US Supreme Court struck down that Act in 1967. And, the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, a UN treaty, in 1961 which was the basis for the Controlled Substances Act of 1970 which created the DEA. Then you have to talk about the 1971 and 1988 UN treaties.

The United States Constitution (as well as the U.S. Declaration of Independence and Bill of Rights) was actually written on parchment, which is treated animal skin. While it is true that hemp can be made into paper, parchment typically lasts much longer than paper of any type, making it a better choice for writing a master copy of a document of such great importance. However, the drafts of these documents may very well have been written on hemp paper, as that was a very common type of paper at that time.

Marijuana contribute's to lost of memories.

Number 5 is pretty false. Marijuana ≠ hemp. Hemp and marijuana are about as similar as humans and chimps. It's a different species. You get high by smoking Cannabis indica and Cannabis sativa. Hemp is Cannabis ruderalis.

nigga

Fuck all yall who thinks that pot is bad, do none of u realise that everbody smokes pot??? fuck no it doesnt make us lazy it jus makes us find something better to do with are time and if thats chilling out then so be it. they wouldnt give it away for medicinal purposes if it were bad…. Think about it.

Ive recently started smoking pot. And its awesome. Pot IS NOT a risk factor for lung cancer, according to the american medical journal. Recent studies in 2007 have also indicated cannabis would make a good anit tumour agent. www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/04/070417193338.htm. Pots awesome. If you dont like it….great…..cuz that just means more for the rest of us. Alot of people think pot was banned for health imppcationz. Well thats bullshit. If you looked into the american politicians who campaigned against weed u will c y. Alot of these politicians were recieving large amounts of money from the directors of a fibre producing company (Duvont i think,) this company in return wanted the goverment to ban hemp which was the strongest fibre known to man at that time because the company had managed to extract nylon from oil. Nylon sales skyrocketed after the ban of hemp and the company made serious money. I know for a fact more people drink and drive then people who get stoned and drive. Alcohol is responsible for more violent crimes then any oyher drug. Stoners just wana be left aline with a big bag of weed…not askin too much…

Legalize Marijuana <3
