The first two are psychoactive; female flowers of the plant are the type that are smoked to produce a high, male flowers do not give anything but a slight headache. Cannabis Indica- Body stone, much shorter and fatter plant

Canabis Sativa- Head high, taller and thinner plant

Cannabis Ruderalis- Most common type of cannabis used for hemp.

The first two are psychoactive; female flowers of the plant are the type that are smoked to produce a high, male flowers do not give anything but a slight headache.

You are right, sometimes people abuse their rights, and that is sad. That is where we the people have to stand up. So she was at a smoking place and just couldn't take it, or what? EvilDon,

I am sorry to hear about your friend and your own.

So she was at a smoking place and just couldn’t take it, or what?

We simply ask if they do any illicit substances, and they're honest. We get massive voulmes of patients in the ER- drug seekers- who are there because of their addiction to opiate pain killers. if they're 'in pain,' we are still required by law to give them pain medication. It's sad. It's not only the textile industry that would suffer from cannabis legalization/decriminalization, but mainly the pharmaceutical companies. The statement made often by government officials claiming cannabis has no useful medical benefits is simply ridiculous... Simply because it is a plant, and users can grow their own makes it impossible for the pharmaceutical companies to regulate, tax, and distribute it. So they ignore all of the research on it, thinking it will go away. The fact of the matter is, with the federal cannabis dispensaries in California, they're not only going after the actual dispensaries that make too much profit, but the ones that have high volumes of cannabis passing through. Federal forces are essentially pissing over state's rights, because they still feel threatened by cannabis's growing support. It's a non-toxic PLANT with little/no psychological addiction rates (depends per person) and clear medical benefits: Stress reduction, prevents atheriosclerosis of the arteries, reduces pain, anti-inflammatory, bronchiodilator, has shown promise in destroying cancerous glioma cells in the CNS, mood elevator, reduces intra-ocular pressure for glaucoma patients, and probably more than that. And it MAKES YOU FEEL GOOD. What's wrong with that? It's no a panacea. It comes with side effects from smoking- so I vaporize, or bake it. LEGALIZE.

It's about as addictive as aspirin. I've gone for months smoking up every day and stopped because, basically, I was bored with it and wanted something else to do. You just can't absentmindedly stop drinking if it's become a habit, and I doubt you can just forget heroin without a second thought. I'd love to see some pothead go to a rehab clinic. Hell, in a lot of rehab clinics, pot is unofficially seen as an acceptable replacement for harder drugs. Bah, people do get addicted to weed (my own aunt comes to mind), but they’re blatantly idiots.

They became so addicted that they eventually pawned all his stuff when he was still going to elementary school so his parents could get a fix. Sure alcohol can do the same thing, maybe even McDonalds' foods, but what's wrong with eliminating one less evil in the world. A friend of mine had parents who were pot smokers.

The stalk of the marijauna plant is green and brittle with no fiber. The hemp plant has a brown, wooden core surrounded by hay-like fiber. Take a look at this site, I used to work here: www.barharborhemp.com Alec,
