If you rolled up a paper no filling just paper and 'smoked' it would it be harmful to your body?
It would burn to quickly, but it wouldn't be any worse for you than being near candles or a campfire.
What is the significance of the number 420 in relation to marijuana?
I always heard that it is some kind of police code, for some kind of marijuana offense. But apparently that isn't true at all. According to snopes.com, it originated in 1971 at San Rafael High School in California. It was just a slang term that some kids used to remember when they were all supposed to meet up to smoke weed (at 4:20 pm). It caught on from there.

How long marijuana stay in your saliva?
For daily smokers, it can take anywhere from 2 to 6 weeks, or a month on average, to be clean for a urine test.
For occasional smokers -- people who smoke only a couple of times a week or less -- it's more like 2 weeks to one month.
For a blood test, it takes less time: 2 weeks, but possibly up to 3 weeks, for daily users, and only 2 to 4 days for occasional users.
For saliva tests, it also takes less time. Most sources I've seen say 3 to 5 days, although you might want to wait a week or more, to be safe.
Hair tests are different. Once you use a drug, it's in your hair permanently, until you stop using and grow a completely new head of hair. Since hair grows at a rate of about half an inch a month, it takes about a year or two to grow a completely new head of hair (maybe only 6 months for men with short hair).
Hair tests typically test only the last 1.5 inches of hair (which would mean you'd need to be clean for a minimum of 90 days). But, longer hair samples can be used, if the employer requests it. So, hair tests can potentially detect a drug up to two years after you've used it, if you have long hair.
THC, the primary component of cannabis, remains testable in the blood for up to 48 hours, urine for 7 to 30 days, and hair up to six months.
anywhere from 5 days to 5 years

Why should the US legalize marijuana?
I ask the same question brother. There are many theories floating about as to why cannabis is not legal. I for one believe that scientists have done a splendid job at demonstrating its medical efficacy as well as its recreational harmlessness. Of course like any other drug there are responsibilities that go with its use, and I think that this notion needs to be emphasized a little more strongly amongst the pro-cannabis activists such as myself.
Is there a fool proof way to pass a marijuana drug test?
Yep, don't smoke marijuana or use any other illicit drugs!
Can you pass a saliva swab drug test when you last smoked 6 days ago?
YES! the saliva test for marijuana is the same as tabacco....insurance guy explained that to my husband and I. It takes about 3 or 4 days...IF you are on day 6, then you should be fine! Good Luck!!tg
Can you absorb THC through your skin if you walk into a room filled with marijuana smoke?
Yes, small amounts, but not enough to be noticeable. You would have to be in an extremely smokey room for hours to barely feel it, but you would probably feel it from breathing it in first, after about 15 min of heavy secondhand smoke. It would leave your body fast, within the day, you could eat pot everyday and completely fine. If you hold a sticky bud in your hand for 20 minutes in the sun, you will sweat and feel the stickiness and effects of the herb.
Is putting marijuana in the freezer bad?
Freezing it will preserve the condition that it's in, so it's definitely not bad. But, if it's dank ass weed, the trichomes will probably end up falling off. If you keep it in a glass jar (with a lid obviously), that shouldn't be a problem.
How much THC in urine will cause a fail?
I depends on the quantity of the THC and the last time you smoked. The is no other way to tell if your clean bout to have a drug test but there is always a way to speed up the proccess. End if there is just a little but little little bit it will not be read on the computer
Is it ok to smoke marijuana while taking ceftin?
Whenever you're taking two drugs at the same time, there may be interactions. This is true even when one of them is a food supplement that you bought at a health food store, and also true when one of them is marijuana. When two drugs interact, there may be additional side effects, or the effect of one of the drugs might be decreased -- or increased.
Tell the doctor who prescribed the cephalexin that you sometimes smoke weed, and ask whether it will interact with the cephalexin.
an emotional effect is when something that happens to you, effects you emotionally. this means it has an effect or the emotions you experience during that time. for example my dog died. this has an emotional effect on me because i loved my dog so i was emotionally connected to him. emotional effects can effect people in many different ways such as crying, happiness ect. when someone is emotionally effects by something it usually means they had an emotional connecting to it so they feel emotionally effected when something happens to it/thing.
Is mixing weed and Adderall and alcohol okay?
Nothing bad. I do not know of a single drug or medication that is dangerous to take with marijuana. Marijauna is neither a stimulant nor a depressant; it is a mild hallucinogen, and so it does not affect the heart or central nervous system the way most other drugs do.
How many chemicals are in cannabis?
Cannabis contains 421 chemicals, 60 of which are "cannaboids" (US science journal) Cannabis contains 421 chemicals, 60 of which are "cannaboids" (US science journal)
How does eating marijuana make you high?
Weed gets you high because it is a natural element that contains THC. The THC becomes active by burning it and the reaction emits a chemical that your brain counteracts with your body's own natural cures. From these "cures" you get the "High" sensation.
How long does THC stay in your system for daily smokers?
It depends mostly on your body weight and metabolism. If you have a fast metabolism you can get clean in under 20 days but if you have a slow metabolism it can take as long as 45 days. My nephew once had to drop and he had smoked 17 days before his test and tested clean. He is also really scrawny and has a fast metabolism. I on the other hand have a slower metabolism and weight 160 Lbs. I had a urine test; so, I stopped smoking 40 days in advanced and still dropped dirty. It goes to show ya. You never quite know. It's best to judge it yourself by weight and metabolism then some chart that is universal for everyone because that chart doesn't exists.
Can marijuana help Parkinson's disease?
YES,
Nearly half of Parkinson's disease patients who
have tried marijuana say the drug helped relieve their symptoms, according
to a survey of patients with the degenerative neurological disorder.
Dr. Evzin Ruzicka, an attending neurologist at Charles University in Prague
in the Czech Republic, reported the findings here at the Movement Disorders
Society's Seventh International Congress of Parkinson's Disease and
Movement Disorders. Ruzicka is also a consultant at the Prague Movement
Disorders Center.
"It's difficult to directly study the medical effects of cannabis in the
Czech Republic, where we conducted our research, because of its illegal
status," Ruzicka told Reuters Health. "Therefore, we had to conduct
anonymous surveys. To our knowledge, this is the first study to assess the
effect of cannabis on Parkinson's disease, and our findings suggest it may
alleviate some symptoms."
Ruzicka and his colleagues chose to investigate marijuana's effects on
Parkinson's disease after hearing from several patients that they had tried
the drug and it had helped them.
The investigators asked all patients who were treated for Parkinson's
disease at their center to complete a questionnaire that asked about
cannabis use and about several Parkinson's disease symptoms, including
overall symptoms; tremor while at rest; bradykinesia, or slow movement;
muscle rigidity; and dyskinesias, or involuntary movements. Dyskinesias are
caused by levodopa, the mainstay medication in Parkinson's treatment.
Among the 630 patients to whom the investigators sent questionnaires, 339
(54%) returned them. The responders' average age was about 66, and they had
had Parkinson's disease for an average of roughly 9 years. Among the
responders, 25% reported that they had used cannabis. Most had used it
orally, either as fresh or dried leaves.
Within this group, 39 patients (46%) reported that their Parkinson's
disease symptoms in general were relieved after they started using
cannabis. In terms of specific symptoms, 26 (31%) reported an improvement
in tremor while at rest, and 38 (45%) experienced a relief of bradykinesia.
Relief of muscle rigidity was reported by 32 (38%), and 12 (14%) said they
had an improvement in levodopa-induced dyskinesias.
The respondents reported that the improvement in symptoms occurred an
average of 1.7 months after they had started using cannabis. Patients who
used it for at least three months were more likely to experience symptom
relief than those with shorter experience, the investigators reported.
This delay between the beginning of cannabis use and the relief of symptoms
made it unlikely that the respondents were having a placebo effect, Ruzicka
said. A placebo effect can occur when the individual taking a treatment
experiences a benefit even if the "treatment," such as a sugar pill,
contains no active ingredients.
They found no relationship between the length of cannabis use and the
effect on involuntary movements. However, daily marijuana users reported
more improvement in their dyskinesias than those using it less often.
The investigators speculated that the effect of cannabis on Parkinson's
disease symptoms may be due to interaction among cannabis, certain brain
receptors that respond to cannabis and endogenous cannabinoids or
cannabis-like substances within the body.
He and colleagues plan to investigate a relationship between cannabis use
and relief of Parkinson's disease symptoms by collaborating in further
studies with investigators in the United Kingdom, Ruzicka told Reuters Health.
Scientists hope to use a marijuana-like chemical in the brain to treat Parkinson's Disease and schizophrenia. The chemical, known as anandamide, helps to regulate body movement and coordination. A team from the University of California Irvine believes it can be used to treat diseases which produce uncontrollable movements such as tics and shaking. The researchers have used anandamide to limit brain activity in rats. Writing in the journal Nature Neuroscience, they said anandamide interferes with the effects of nerve cells that transmit dopamine, the message-carrying chemical responsible for stimulating movement and other motor behaviour in the brain. Uncontrolled production of dopamine has been blamed for some of the symptoms of schizophrenia and the nervous tics and outbursts associated with Tourette's syndrome. A lack of dopamine is blamed for the shaking and motor hesitation that marks Parkinson's disease. Major breakthrough
The actor Michael J Fox has Parkinson's Disease
Daniele Piomelli, an associate professor of pharmacology at UCI, said the research had shown for the first time how anandamides work in the brain to produce normal motor activity. He said: "Patients with schizophrenia and other diseases have reported that marijuana appears to relieve some of their symptoms, but scientists have never found a physiological reason why. "By understanding how the anandamide system works similarly to marijuana, we can explore new ways to treat these diseases more effectively." But Professor Piomelli said cannabis itself did not offer any kind of cure. "Marijuana doesn't provide the regulatory effects on dopamine in the brain that we're looking for," he said. Anandamide, named after the Sanskrit word for "bliss and tranquillity," is used by a network of nerve cells in an area of the brain called the striatum, which coordinates body movements and other motor behaviour, the researchers said. Normally nerve cells regulate this behaviour by releasing anandamides at the same time they release dopamine. The anandamides bind to cannabinoid receptors, which are where tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the active ingredient in marijuana, docks onto cells. When the team blocked these receptors, rats experienced severe nervous tics and other uncontrolled motor activity. Professor Piomelli said new drugs that mimic the effects of anandamides could offer gentler treatments for some diseases. He said: "Current drugs certainly halt the actions of dopamine, but the side effects, including sedation and dizziness, are very severe," he said. In a commentary, Professor David Self of Yale University said the approach could be used to develop drugs that help Parkinson's treatments, which try to boost production of dopamine in the brain but whose effects wear off after a few years. Drugs that stimulate the cannabinoid receptor might also be used against Huntington's disease, a fatal and incurable disease first marked by jerks and spasms, Professor Self added.
What should you do when you find someone is smoking weed?
Let them smoke. There minding there own buisness and not harming anyone. If people can enjoy alcohol in the open, people should at least be able to smoke weed in private, a much less harmful and potentially benificial substance.
Will second hand weed show on a hair test three weeks ago?
No, it won't, because only a trace will have settled in the hair, and will have been washed out. The hair test detects THC which has been deposited in the hair from the body, so it can be proven that a smoker has stopped taking cannibis, and how long ago that was.The test is not sensitive enough to detect the tiny amount you would have inhaled while you were in the car.
They worked for me, but I also stopped smoking for 9 days before the test. So was it abstinence, or the drink, or both? I don't know. It's worth a try, especially if you cannot postpone the test until you are clean. But obviously, the smart thing to do is to abstain from marijuana for as long as possible before the test.
The product I used was called Herbal Clean, but I didn't buy it at GNC. It was a non-chain store in Hell's Kitchen, New York City.
I just told the salesperson, "I have a drug test, I smoke marijuana, do you have any products for that?" and he went and got it for me. But I was reading a blog on some website, and a person said that he went into GNC for one of those drinks, and as soon as he said the words "drug test" the salesperson said she couldn't help because what he was asking for was illegal.
So, just in case you run into a salesperson like that, who is totally uncool, don't mention anything about drug tests. Just say, "I need something to cleanse my system, do you have any Herbal Clean?"
Can niacin cleanse your system of weed?
Drink a lot of water morning of. Take niacin following directions on bottle. too much then skin feels like a sunburn. Niacin and a lot of water (32oz) with a small amount of apple cider vinegar. Then drink a coke for impurities. These are 2 different methods mixed. Some say just the apple cider vinegar alone. The full treatment has worked for me many times. Unless it goes to a lab. Then S.O.L from my experience. GOOD LUCK
