Well, I was busted by my parents last week and they didn't take it well at all. I promised to stop doing it but I asked if I could at least educate them on the subject so they see my reasoning behind doing it and they understand that it really isn't so harmfull. I am looking for a collection of facts, studies and links with good strong points and possitive aspects of the plant. Thank you Peace
shit i used to have this page bookmarked from another forum of tons of articles of stuff your looking for. Theres a post on here with the link but i doubt i can find it.
alright i think this is it but the page wont load on my computer http://www.hipforums.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=267536
Why not dig up the info on why it was made illegal and how far back in history its use goes. Not so long ago in this country you could buy it in stores.
All you have to do is mention how in 1935 it was said that "If marijuana is to be kept legal, woman will start eloping with negros" which said in front of the house or senate or something of importance.

gotta love our country. "There are 100,000 total marijuana smokers in the US, and most are Negroes, Hispanics, Filipinos, and entertainers. Their Satanic music, jazz, and swing, result from marijuana use. This marijuana causes white women to seek sexual relations with Negroes, entertainers, and any others." "...the primary reason to outlaw marijuana is its effect on the degenerate races." "Marijuana is an addictive drug which produces in its users insanity, criminality, and death." "Reefer makes darkies think they're as good as white men." - Harry J. Anslinger
40oz & chronic gave some really good posts. I'd also make a suggestion, you might not *like* it that much, but you might see that it makes sense. How are your grades? If your getting like - Bs - you could work hard and get As and work out a deal with your parents about it - as long as you are getting As, they won't punish you for smoking (you'd may have to promis a few other things - like - you'll limit where & when you smoke & such -but, you are going to college soon, right? you'll be able to smoke all you want) One other thought - there *are* some people who use it for personal and or spiritual develolpment, not just to have a good time ... maybe you can offer that angle to your parent - like, it gives you insights about whatever that you find very helpful ...)
Layla makes THE point. What you need is to show them that the ganj is not affecting your life. You really have no argument, no matter how much written info you provide, if you're fucking up.
