Weed-Personal Narrative

This reminder of smoker’s etiquette attempts to rise from the back seat, but the bumping speakers drown it out. I am in the driver’s seat of my car, floating on a thick cloud of music and smoke. My eyes close, my lungs fill, my head nods and becomes lost inside a hip-hop haze of bass, high hats, and trumpets. Just before Big Boi introduces his “Spottieottiedopaliscious Angel” a hand cuts through the smoke and whacks me in the back of the head. Leaving the music, I turn around, take a huge toke, give the middle finger (all in good fun), and pass the joint to the backseat. For the next twenty minutes my friends and I sit in my car, parked, windows up, seats laid back, and fill every

Each year the United States government documents drug related deaths in our country, breaking the deaths down into categories of cause. These categories include tobacco, alcohol, prescription medications, illegal drug, and of course marijuana related deaths. Every year the number of deaths coming from marijuana is equivalent to zero. So why is there even controversy over the issue of legalization? Obviously, there are still some people out there who believe the drug is a topic for concern in our nation. In recent years, there has been tremendous progress being made in the field of medicine. University hospitals around the country have been proving again and again that the drug poses no threat to human health and well being, even

Wether you call it Hemp, Mary Jane, Pot, Weed; it doesn't matter. It is still Cannabis Sativa, or cannabis for short. And it is still illegal. The use of marijuana as an intoxicant in the United States became a problem of public concern in the 1930s.

My condition brought me into a situation, were i had no other option than getting marihuana for medical purposes, “- some people actually need to ask for the doctor to cure the symptom…when unfortunately the cancer doesn't go away-”. I was spending money on a variety of medicines, until my kidney failed. The moment when you realized medicines you take to save your life are also killing you at the same time, you are screwed…Cancer does not only kill you physically it kills you mentally too. After a chemo, you suffer a phycological downturn that doesn't allow you to spend time with your family. Cancer did not kill me yet, but it made me stop enjoying life.

My earliest moments of memory are of me in a bar. I never sat in that stool again after one particular night. My mom “buzz kill” came in the bar and flipped. My dad was very intoxicated, and my mom was not having it. She cursed my dad out, got in his face, and was out. Dragging me out of the bar with her I remember my dad chanting, “I’m free. I’m free”. My mom cried a lot that night. Her tears were not shed in front of me but in the shower. She would cry in that shower for a long time, and then come sleep with me. I slept with her up until the age of around 10. I would be so upset with my dad the day after he spent hours at the bar, but I always apologized to him for being mad. My mom and him had “words”, and he sobered up… kind of. There was a lot more to my dad’s alcoholism, but my mom shielded me from a majority of it. After my dad drastically changed his life, we got hella close. We bonded even more after my mom started poppin’ pills. “I’m waiting for this cough syrup to come down.” She took pain pills, sleeping pills, my grandma’s pills, my grandpa’s pills, or basically any pills she could. I didn’t understand it, I still don’t. I still think its because I wasn’t good enough for

Dr. Donald Abrams, who was originally denied the right to study medical marijuana by the DEA and NIDA in 1995, conducted a study to determine if using vaporization, a smokeless delivery system, could provide the equal results as smoked cannabis as well as reducing the risks associated with combustion byproducts produced by smoking. Abrams et al., (2007) utilized the Volcano device to determine the efficacy of a smokeless system. Cannabinoids were measured pre and post vaporization to determine if THC levels were comparable to levels received with smoked cannabis. It was found that using the smokeless system produced higher levels of THC concentrations in plasma at both 30 and 60 minute intervals as compared to smoked cannabis.

Marijuana is classified as a schedule I controlled substance because there are studies that suggest that it has a high potential for abuse and that there is no solid evidence that it has medical benefits. Medical institutes like the British Medical Association (BMA) state that marijuana has been linked to health issues such as heart disease, lung cancer, bronchitis, and emphysema. Most importantly the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which is in charge of approving and rejecting drugs for safe medical uses, has not approved smoked marijuana as a medical treatment. The FDA has stated that there is not enough reliable evidence showing that marijuana is a safe and an effective treatment. There is more evidence supporting that smoked marijuana

Have you ever been curious in trying something new, like a drug and how it would make you react or feel towards it? I have. I was fifthteen years old when I first tried marijuana. Since then I’ve like the way it made me feel and how it had changed the person I am today. Although, my reaction when I first tried it wasn't what I expected. Of course it was my first time. I felt abnormal, but it was a feeling where it gave me a physical sensation and felt great about it. “I love marijuana”, because it makes me feel more focus on what I am doing, it helped me increase my level in creativity, and is a great source of painkillers.

Minutes pasted before Arnold could even get his mouth to form coherent words. What Gerald just told him was unbelieveable. To think his best friend was hiding such a thing from him this entire time. At that moment, he felt nothing but sympathy for his friend, and the first thing that came out of his mouth was...

My ideal cannabis product to create would be a CBD infused tampon designed to ease the menstruation frustrations.

My hair was coated in pink hair coloring and my cheeks were streaked in the same shade. If it wasn’t for the crowd of all the other girls looking the exact same way I could have passed myself off as some little girl getting ready for her favorite sports team’s game. Instead I was surrounded by runners not famous athletes but elementry school girls all ready to run a five Kilometer run that hot and humid day. The line of runners and their guardians were talking back in forth groaning and moaning about the long wait for the start we all waited for the gun to go off and for the run to begin “Crack” the gun went and the first runners took off those in the back were stuck at a turtle's pace trying to get away from the clusters of people around them.

With the pain of the world stopping people from happiness and enjoying simple pleasures, sometimes there is a need for help. Marijuana brings millions of people relief from the sadness they feel on a day-to-day basis. This natural plant that helped so many people has puzzled the leaders of our nation for a long time.THC in marijuana causes people to experience a mild-huluciginic or high feeling .

Some of the arguments involve what philosophers call deontological moral concerns—roughly, concerns about the

In my illustrative essay I’m going to be writing about legalizing marijuana. It doesn’t seem like a good choice for some people but legalizing marijuana would probably change things a lot in our state. Legalizing marijuana would cut down some of the crime rate since people wouldn’t be in trouble for selling or being caught with it. It would also help the people who has to have it for their medical condition. Another thing about legalizing marijuana is that marijuana doesn’t really have long term effects on a person’s health unless they start smoking at a juvenile age.

During this time, my mother found that her diamond earrings were missing. She then subconsciously had a feeling that Becky knew where they were. My mother asked Becky about it and Becky just said she didn’t know anything about it, but that wasn’t the true story at all. By that time I was in Nebraska visiting my favorite aunt. A week went by and I had missed Mother’s day that year since our flight was canceled, so we stayed an extra day. The next day I finally get home, not to find a warm home with my family greeting me at the door, but instead to find my parents and my sister with a couple of suitcases in their hands walking to the car. I proceed to ask my mother what was wrong with my sister and she replied with “Yesterday Becky confessed that for the past year, she has been doing heroin.” My heart sank. I never thought it was that serious. My parents took her to rehab, and I went into my room and cried the rest of the day.
