Possession of Cannabis As California was one of the first of the fifty states in the US to decriminalize marijuana through the medical marijuana program, there are an awful lot of laws that concern cannabis. These laws are enforced to protect the public from problems with the drug like abuse and illegal possession. While marijuana is legal for medical marijuana patients in California, it is still not legal on a federal level which causes many disputes between federal and state governments. The laws concerning cannabis are always changing as new ideas come into the mix so what might be true today, is not necessarily true tomorrow. Even though it is legal to have small amounts of marijuana for patients, we are still a long way away from achieving the full legality of marijuana. But as long as I can smoke and get high at the end of the day, it’s good enough for me. The medical marijuana program, while by no means perfect, still puts limitations on things like the amount one can have on the person. For example, possession of an ounce or less of marijuana for non patients is now considered an infraction rather than a misdemeanor. This law was changed in January of 2011 and shows no sign of changing in the near future. Though possession of larger amounts can lead to a fine and jail...

These days, growing weed has become an exact science that one can monitor and manipulate with ease. While many still do their growing outside, many more have moved on to a different way of growing weed. With just a few things to get started with like a hydroponic system, fluorescent lighting, and nutrients, you too can have dank weed with just a little practice and effort. Different Ways to Do It When growing indoors, one could also effectively use the tried and true method of growing in a pot. This method will still produce potent weed if enough care is given to the plant. For this, nutrient rich soil is really the key, along again with fluorescent lighting. As always, growing weed takes time with method as well and one must be patient in order to receive a good yield. When growing from a pot or even from soil at all, some think that their plant will come out better. Soil is definitely more natural than growing a plant produced only by hydroponics, but both of these methods produce quality cannabis. Hydroponic systems give the grower a greater control over their plants’ environments. Some say that the failure of the system will lead to the death of all the plants without soil to keep it alive. But in opposition to this, others are fully on board with the hydroponics...

Marijuana vs. Alcohol An interesting speculation that people often make is that marijuana is worse for the body than alcohol. As popular as this notion is, it really could not be any farther from the truth. While neither of these intoxicants are particularly good for the user, marijuana does hold a clear edge over the more popular and widely accepted alcohol. When one gets down to the facts, it is a mystery why alcohol has achieved such acceptance over the much less harmful marijuana. This aversion to weed is due in part to an anti marijuana campaign that swayed the minds of the public many years ago. The campaign was started by Harry Anslinger and still continues to have an effect on our laws about Marijuana today. The negative side effects of alcohol are easy to see because they are so much more extreme than those of other safer intoxicants. Many people are prone to violence after having a bit too much to drink. Users becoming violent is definitely the biggest problem with using alcohol. Those who drink alcohol in excess are often associated with over confidence which may lead to drunk driving. Apart from that, it is impossible to die from a marijuana overdose but this can indeed happen with alcohol. When drinking with friends, one should always remember moderation and the negative side effects of the liquid...

The Facts Despite being one of the most widely used substances in the world, many people are unaware of a lot of the facts about marijuana. In short, marijuana is a plant that grows naturally in many different regions of the planet that produces a euphoric high when smoked. There are many different strains of the plant which are either sought after or looked over by more experienced smokers. Despite many common misconceptions, marijuana is generally much less harmful to one’s body than other substances like alcohol or harder drugs. No matter what it is that you choose to smoke, it is going to have adverse effects on your respiratory system. But the good news about weed is that it is not attributed to death or overdose which are two of the biggest problems with other drugs.Overall, marijuana is a recreational drug that gets a lot of bad publicity that it really doesn’t deserve.   The short term effects of marijuana are why the plant is so highly prized by users. A euphoric feeling overcomes the user upon smoking which many refer to as the high or the buzz. Like with many drugs, THC, the chemical in weed that gets one high, causes the brain to release dopamine which is what creates the good feeling. Marijuana also has more negative side effects like loss of coordination and short term...
