Queen Victoria used to smoke it.
There was an attempt to legalise it for medicinal purpose - helps ease the pain of arthritis & other painful conditions.
There are lots of different types - squidgy, black etc.
You can get it in a resin form or leaves.
The plants are not that easy to grow. They need really bright lights & several different chemicals.
It can give you major munchie urges.
An athlete had his olympic medal taken off him as his blood test revealed he'd taken cannabis - would not help him run faster, if anything it would have slowed him down as it is a relaxant.
That is the interesting facts that I know.
Now, where have my munchies gone???

I agree with the person who suggested norml, they are a good source, but they are pro-marijuana so watch out for a little bias. A couple interesting facts I can give you are under the Marijuana Tax Stamp Act of 1937, a person could legally sell marijuana if they went into their state revenue offices and presented the marijuana that they were going to sell, of course, the second you possessed the marijuana without the license, you were arrested it was a catch 22. And none other than Timothy Leary himself got the bill declared unconstitutional in 196?, can't remember the year. Which led to the controlled substances act of 1970. Marijuana was originally thought to have caused insanity, violence, and over sexualization of youths, I would suggest seeing the movie "reefer madness" it is a 1930's film against marijuana that shows what people actually thought it did.

Marijuana was made illegal by the government through lies and informational cover-ups. It is not a stepping stone to harder drugs. It is less harmful and causes way fewer problems than alcohol. It should be legal for use by adults with the same restrictions as alcohol. It came close to legalization during the Carter administration.

I smoke weed ALL DAY EVERY DAY--- what do U want to know?
Contact an organization called "N.O.R.M.A.L" it's a acronym for something,( I forgot- lol- fact # 1: it causes memory loss) but it is a real organization that lobbies to have marijuana legalized, they have every known fact about it, both good and bad.
GOOD LUCK. ( I'm high right now)

You'll end up getting caught eventually. About half the people I know smoke pot and they are getting dumber every year. But of course, they think they are doing GREAT.
