* Increased sensations
* Increased awareness of patterns and colors
* Respect for music and other arts

How about marijuana does not kill brain cells or give you cancer, alot of people think its a terrible drug but how many people have overdosed on marijuana? Zero. Not one person in the last 10,000 years of known marijuana use, not one person smoked, ate or drank enough THC to kill themselves, its physically impossible. I mean, you can die from too much water!!!!!!!! But you could smoke weed all day and it doesn't even hurt you.

You have to watch the movie The Union: The Business Behind Getting High. Its an excellent documentary that I can almost grantee will change the prospective of people that hate a lil ol weed!
