This list was written by Hail Mary Jane.com These are by far some of the best marijuana documentaries to date. All of them are eye-opening and most of them make a serious case for the legalization of marijuana and/or medical marijuana. Except for Reefer Madness, I threw that in for a different reason. Sit back, spark a fat one up, and get ready to have your mind blown. Watch the streaming videos after the break!

Harvard Gazette: Study: Intelligence, cognition unaffected by heavy marijuana use

The new study of cognitive changes caused by heavy marijuana use has found no lasting effects 28 days after quitting. Following a month of abstinence, men and women who smoked pot at least 5,000 times in their lives performed just as well on psychological tests as people who used pot sparingly or not at all, according to a report in the latest edition of the Archives of General Psychiatry. That's the good news. The bad news, not included in the study, is that most heavy users admit that pot has had a negative effect on their physical and mental health as well their functioning on the job and socially. "If there's one thing I've learned from studying marijuana for more than a decade, it's that proponents and opponents of the drug will put opposite spins on these findings," says Harrison Pope, a Harvard professor of psychiatry and leader of the research. http://www.news.harvard.edu/gazette/2001/10.11/marijuana.html
Archaeologists recently found a 2,700-year-old pot stash , so we know humans have been smoking weed for thousands of years. But it was only about 20 years ago that neuroscientists began to understand how it affects our brains. Scientists have known for a while that the active ingredient in cannabis was a chemical called delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC for short.

See it fried my brain ! ;-) by mirlen101 Jul 24

Hmm sounds like a plan ! ;-) That reminds me I took some Vodka soaked some high quality bud in it for a few days put the liquid in a tray let it evaporate slowly at room temp . What remained was put THC ! It looked like such a tiny amount . I thought I'll just put a little in and light up ! BAM !!! Talk about instant face to floor ! ;-O OMG ! I'll never do that again ! I had super high tolerance back then and it Kicked My ASS ! by mirlen101 Jul 24

hehe, yeah im from norway so thats what he used, first you would need like 96% moonshine, then put a 5g bud in ca 300ml liquor, store it for three weeks, shake from time to time, filter it, then mix in water to make it like 20 to 30%. and then it should work fine by mrperrific Jul 24

Yah but you don't really get anything from the booze except taste. You might with Moon Shine but you would probably just explode ! ;-O So best to have a not so great friend try it first ! Just keep a fire exstinguisher handy ! ;-) by mirlen101 Jul 24

hehe lol, yeah i heard it from a friend as well that you could do that with vodka, and it would get you both drunk and stoned, with a surprisingly good taste. would be nice to try once, too bad big liquor companies cant make this in big scale by mrperrific Jul 23

I tried that too ! Actually I soaked it in Vodka ! ;-) It wasn't bad really ! ;-) But yes age does degrade the bud for sure ;-/ But with a preservative ( maybe Vodka ! ) you might get away with it ! ;-) I could never keep it that long though ! ;-) I think a few days is my record ! ;-) And that was with all my super will power ! ;-) by mirlen101 Jul 21

dont think you could, but it would be nice if buds were like a good cognac, better with age :D by mrperrific Jul 21

http://www.theweedblog.com/jamaican-study-of-pregnant-mothers-shows-that-marijuana-doesnt-harm-newborns/ By Janelle Stone It’s almost too taboo to discuss: pregnant women smoking marijuana. It’s a dirty little secret for women, particularly during the harrowing first trimester, who turn to cannabis for relief from nausea and stress. If you were to inquire about pot and pregnancy on the Web, Baby Center offers a strongly worded warning from Gerald Briggs, pharmacist clinical specialist. Briggs says that pot affects the baby’s growth and development and—gasp!

Pot could replace Ritalin as the cure for hyperactivity in children. A group of 124,000 physicians is lobbying the government to make it easier for them to study and prescribe marijuana to their patients. Once they've fully studied the drug — something that hasn't happened before — they're anticipating finding a lot of new, legitimate medical uses for the drug. Like calming hyperactive people down.

Marijuana (Weed) History and Facts

http://brainz.org/420-milestones-history-marijuana/ People around the world have been smoking marijuana for thousands of years while also using the hemp plant for everything from fabric and rope to ethanol fuel. Unfortunately, somewhere along the way, a man with a bit of power and enough determination decided pot was wicked, evil and narcotic. He moved mountains to make it illegal worldwide. In the U.S., the struggle continues to this day to overcome the lies and misconceptions about marijuana that the government spent billions to spread.
