Question by Aj: How long does THC stay in your system?
I was wondering, if I went and smoked pot for the first time tomorrow how long would it stay in my system? Would I be fine to take a urine test in about a month? I don’t want lectures telling me I shouldn’t do try it because I’m not gonna do it. I was just wondering because I’ve done “research” on it and I’ve gotten several different answers.

1 month

Answer by Ryan Noussairi
It really depends on your digestive system & metabolism & how quick they function. Urine stays in the body from 2 to 60 days. A good way to get it out of your system is to drink as many fluids as possible to “wash out” your digestive system. If that is not possible, try to dilute your pee that means when you pee fill the cup partially with WARM water. This is important because piss is warm, don’t over do it though or else it will just look like water. Taking those to steps & you’ll be well on your way back to smoking like bob marley!

Question by Lauren Luxe: What is your opinion on medical marijuana?
Do you believe it is helpful or destructive? Do you think it is beneficial or dangerous? Do you think it helps solve more problems than it creatives? Do you think it actually destroys white matter in your brain? Do you believe that brain cells are not capable of producing more brain cells?

There are many different views on the issue regarding medical grade marijuana.
A lot of published online reports contain falsified information to persuade people in order to create this idea that may not necessarily be true.

In your opinion, what is the best way to legalize marijuana?

And on that topic, what do you think will happen to all the other “addicts” who wish to legalize their own “drug of choice.”

In the wise words of Bob Marley, “Smoke the herb and it reveals yourself to you.” Do you think that is true?

In the words written in some texts, people believe that every plant, every animal, every living thing, somebody saw all of the uses for them and saw that it was “GOOD.”

What is your stance on this argument?
Please include supporting information and trustworthy sources. Thank you.

Answer by Boiled Angel
I believe it’s helpful, I believe it’s beneficial, I think it will solve problems, and I do not believe it destroys brain matter and the brain is capable of producing more brain cells.

I think the best way to legalize it is to market it and tax it. It will generate so much profit that it will pay for some of our debt. We will also save money from having to convict those who are charged with crimes involving it. Putting someone in prison is expensive!

I do believe Bob Marley’s words are true. From my experience with the stuff, I have found out many things about myself that I wouldn’t have realized otherwise.

I’m not saying Marijuana is the best thing in the world that will solve all of our problems, I just think it’s ridiculous that it’s illegal. It makes no sense. Well, it actually does make sense because there are a lot of greedy rich bastards out there who would fall if it became legal.

Answer by Mrs. Eric Cartman
Looks like someone is doing a paper, haha. Visit cracked.com and read the arguments for and against pot. Do a search.

As for my opinion, I’m 100% for it. Prescription drugs are dangerous; pot is not. I’ve known two truly sick people who benefitted greatly from it. Cops never get called in for a domestic violence situation when it’s weed. It’s all drunks. Most of the dangerous stuff is legal. You can get it from ABC liquor or the doctor. Weed is harmless. If drugs were legal, it would destroy the illegal drug trade. The govt spends millions fighting the drug trade, and drugs are easier for minors to get than beer. People are dying over WEED. Going to jail over weed. The prison systems want to keep it illegal because they want money. They want to house people. It turns normal citizens into criminals and gets them in the system. It’s greedy and it’s irrational.

Question by Katie D: What are some good teen books about disorders?
I read the book “Cut” but Patricia McCormick, “Perfect” By Natasha Friend, and I’m reading “Massive” by Julia Bell.

What are some other good ones about mental/personality disorders?

Even if they’re not teen books, I want some good ones.

Best answer:

Answer by Cheyenne
Go Ask Alice is a really good book. Its about a young girl with drug addictions. Its really emotional. And probably not anything like you would think. But, I won’t ruin the story line.
The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath is also really good. Its a bit disturbing, though, in some points.
I reccomend The Catcher in the Rye by J. D. Salinger, as well.
