Stiletto Stoners – Women Who Smoke Pot NBC – Beverly Hills NORML90210.org

February 23, 2010 - Posted by admin

FOR THE LATEST MARIJUANA RELATED NEWS: www.NORML90210.org Marie Claire editor-in-chief Joanna Coles disagreed with Hollands view that there is a large social stigma attached to smoking marijuana. I have to say, thats not what we are hearing from readers, she said on the Today Show. First of all, its decriminalized in 13 states, and I dont think this is a generation of people who get excited about the fact that its illegal. The inspiration for the article, Coles said, was hearing from readers that they were feeling stressed. Clearly, the economy is a great deal of stress for people and they wanted a way to unwind. And they found more and more of them were doing this [smoking marijuana] and they found it had less impact on them when they were going to work the next morning. So they didnt want to drink. Its cheap and they felt they could do it in the privacy of their own home, and it was a very effective way to calm down. Holland agreed that marijuana may be a less harmful drug than alcohol, saying that marijuana has psycho-therapeutic properties that booze lacks. Its more of a mind drug, she said. Alcohols sort of a deadening, numbing maybe more like a body drug. On pot, people are unwinding and theyre relaxing, but theyre also able to think and maybe analyze or think clearly I think cannabis is more functional than alcohol, certainly in terms of anxiety. It can be a treatment or a medicine. Coles added that the Marie Claire article seems to have struck a nerve with readers. For additional information Contact: Cheryl Shuman www.NORML90210.org

    THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY

    “More recently, scientists reported that cannabidiol, one of the chemicals found in marijuana, slows growth of breast cancer cells growing in laboratory dishes. However, this substance has not been tested in humans or even in animals that have cancer yet. Cannabidiol levels in marijuana are low, so any benefit from this compound would require use of a purified and concentrated form.”

    @boopster1000 The dumbing down of America was done in 1937. Would you have fallen for all the lies they were saying about Cannabis? Or are you still believing the lies? All it takes is to do simple research. The ones who smoke it and smoke it and smoke it are the stoners and still the most damage they do is eat all your food while sitting on your couch. While others smoke it chill out and listen to some music or just chat with friends. Yeah that’s dangerous and dumbing down.
