    What other chemicals?

    Cannabis contains over 300 compounds...Cannabinoids can serve as appetite stimulants, antiemetics, antispasmodics, and have some analgesic effects.

    Yeah, weed is a drug in the broad sense of the term "drug," in the same way coffee is a drug. I personally think that if there's any actual serious harm in pot it comes from the actual act of smoking, not from weed itself.

    Here we demonstrate that Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the main active component of marijuana, induces human glioma cell death through stimulation of autophagy.

    Gave Google a look and this is what I got:

    "It's not quite as bad as driving drunk but it's still bad. You tend to be wreckless when driving drunk. When you drive high you're actually too careful and paranoid. Your reflexes and reaction times are slower which is the greatest danger. Also, you're mind tends to wander and get overloaded making it hard to concentrate on just driving. It's really not safe."

    This sums it up pretty well.

    Also, Gael, it's because THC (The main active chemical in marijuana) helps fight cancer, so it's far less harmful than tobacco. The reason I say it's not personally an issue with pot is because if I was high the last thing I'd want to do is go out driving. It's very different from alcohol, because it doesn't impair my judgment nearly as much. When I'm drunk I tend to do things that sound absolutely fantastic at the time but looking back I realize how bad my decision making was. When high I just want to chill, you know... The effects aren't really comparable.

    And yeah, there are big double standards. Tobacco and Alcohol, our famous legal drugs are terrible for your health, moreso than most illegal drugs, but are socially acceptable. And anyway, why should the government control what we do with ourselves in the first place, eh?

    What would be hilarious is driving while tripping on LSD.

    Did I see Star Trek online? Now I can be bored with players around the globe!

    Are you implying Star Trek is boring? Egad!

    Doing drugs is cowardly. It means that you are giving up, that you can't be bothered accepting your life for what it is so you trick yourself to believe that it's something its not. When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. You don't run away and pretend they're oranges. Plus, marijuana is highly addictive (yes, it is) and studies have shown that it can cause the serious psychotic disorder known as schizophrenia and your chances increase by four times if you do it before you turn 16. There is no reason to start and even less of a reason for it to be legalized. PLEASE, DON"T DO DRUGS!!!

    Wat

    @Gael: Yeah, that could be an issue. Not so much with pot but definitely with alcohol and some other drugs.

    I've been playing it all day. It's so fantastic. The online is top notch, the best online mode on the wii.

    Let's sum this up:

    Every game in this list is 1. A game that's already been announced or2. an existing franchise with an added digit or an HD slapped in frontof it. No new games this year?

    Blizzard doesn't show its games at E3, it saves them for Blizzcon (Why are Warcraft, Diablo and Starcraft in that list)

    Shin Megami Tensei Online came out years ago

    Mass Effect is a EA franchise not Sony

    This is fake.

    This guy sucks at faking this, he wasn't very creative.

    I'mseeing some real games in there so I'm kinda on the fence as to thisdocuments legitimacy. Real games include Epic Mickey, Spider-Man:Shattered Dimensions (can't wait for that one) Super Mario Galaxy 2,

    Yeah, but those are games that have already been officially announced...

    I have lucid dreams whenever I'm practicing some sort of dream recall, which is usually just me sitting down after I've woken up and retelling myself the dream before I forget it. If it's anything interesting I write it down. You're also more likely to get lucid dreams if you go back to sleep after having woken up in the middle of the night. My lucid dreams have been mostly just me aware of my dreaming, not so much controlling them.

    For me, prom was more about hanging out with friends and chowing down food rather than dancing, so I would have gone even if I didn't have a date. I danced for like 10 minutes maybe, since most of what they were playing was shitty rap music anyway.

    You only graduate from high school once in your life.

    And? I think the "Do you smoke weed" thread looks even worse. Makes a very bad impression like we're some creeps.

    Oh cool. I like graduation parties. And PH, why wouldn't you go to your graduation. 10 years from now you'll be like "Man I'm such a dumbass for not going to my graduation"

    Graduation, as well as prom, are great.
