I'd like to side-step my way into this argument and express my opinions on it.
First, to whoever was talking about it killing brain cells, it doesn't. This has been disprooven 100%. In recent studies, marijuana has shown to possibly stimulate brain cell growth.
On the addiction thing, marijuana is less addictive than coffee. Marijuana is classified as non-addictive, which basically means that a user will not experience withdraws. It is not physically addictive. It is, however, psychologically addictive. The thing is, every substance in psychologically addictive. Psychological addiction is basically just a strong craving for something. You are probably psychologically addicted to many things at this very moment. Does that mean these things should be illegal?
About cancer, marijuana has not been proven, ever, to cause cancer. At all. There has not been a single case of somebody getting cancer due to marijuana use alone.
This is widely known, but it's worth stating anyway: Nobody, in the vast history of marijuana use, has ever died it. It is physically impossible to overdose on marijuana.
Now: to the benefits. Marijuana has shown to treat a WIDE range of illnesses, from a common migraine to Parkinson's. The potential money from marijuana regulation is ridiculous. What's arguably better, is that the DEA's budget would focus more on drugs that actually harm people, such as crack and heroin. 90% of the DEA's budget is currently focused on marijuana only.
Murders and rapists are being let out of jail to make room for people who were put in jail for possessing a plant. YOUR tax dollars are going towards punishing people who possessed a plant. Billions of dollars.
Marijuana can be abused. Somebody can have the "SMOKE WEEED ERRYDAY' mindset, and they can mess their lives up. This isn't marijuana's fault though. These people were going to ruin their lives anyway. You don't see the 40 year old father of two who occasionally smokes pot ruining his life because of it. It's always the lazy guys who would have never made anything of themselves anyway.
So yes, marijuana can be abused. But so can cheeseburgers. I can take a fork and jam it in my eye, but does that mean we should make forks illegal? We should make it illegal because some dumbasses don't know how it use it properly? No.
I guess that wraps things up for now. I'll gladly talk more about it if you guys want me to, though.
Actually I am pretty sure no1 has said it kils brain cells,
One person did, but I can't remember who they are. They said something about not wanting to try marijuana because they don't like the idea of dead brain cells.
what has been said however is that it does lower the production of endorphins in the pituitary gland (We have a completely different name for it so if my spelling is bad just don't think about it). Whiiich means if you become a lazy bum who smokes every day 24/7 for a year you'll have a hard time stopping because the usage of marijuana is your main release of endorphines by now, which also means this can be met with two responses anger and depression. I am pretty sure that one was never proven wrong, since I am pretty sure i've seen a chemical reason for this.
The pituitary gland controls sex and reproductive functions. It has no control over the endorphins passing through your brain, IIRC. Maybe you just named it wrong.
Like I said, marijuana is scientifically classified as non-addictive. This means that a user will not exdpierence withdraws. When you say that marijuana as the main release of endorphins causes either anger or depression, where are getting this information? Because this is withdraws. That's what being physically addicted to something does, but marijuana is not physically addictive.
Let's say you're right though. Let's say that if you smoke marijuana too often, it can give you wild mood swings. I still don't think ti should be illegal. Like I said before, you CAN abuse it, but you can abuse anything. These people who fuck their lives up because of marijuana, they were going to fuck their lives up anyway. It's just part of the marijuana culture.
To the post above me, if you're trying to make a joke about how long my post is, then get the hell off the debate section. You don't belong here.
Actually the B(beta)endorphine that goes on to the spinal cord is released from the pituitary gland. Might be a flaw in that but I don't know since I am debating in another language =)
What I meant by it causing depression or anger is due to the fact that you have a lower amount of endorphines surfing trough your body which may cause 1 of two anger or depression, the fact is that your main endorphin rush comes from smoking weed when you are that far gone. By that I mean that your body is so used to smoking weed and getting it's endorphines that way that it is literally the main way your body knows how to get endorphines released. When you have less endorphines small things like lets say a break upp can be as catastrophical as your girl dying in a car crash, which can lead to a depression due to how litle is needed to break you down. It may also do anoter thing which is you get anoyed about how few good thoughts you can muster upp about yourself so you literally go crazy just thinking about how you can't say anything good bout yourself and get very very angry.
I am not against legalisation I am just stating that it is not completely without side effects, and people should know what they are getting into.
I guess that makes sense. My only problem is that there really isn't any science to back it up. I completely agree that there are side effects that people should know about. For instance, inhaling smoke is never good, no matter what kind of smoke it is. Marijuana can also slowly damage the cilia, and with abuse can leave it so damaged that you get sick much easier and much more often. I hate seeing ignorant people go around talking about how it's completely safe, because it simply isn't. But as long as you know how to control yourself, it isn't a problem.

I just played it a few times on the Fretta server. It's pretty good.

You can't just remove every mod except Rank?

Having 'Vanilla' in the server's name and tags would definitely bring it more traffic. It's hard for me to find Vanilla servers anymore, there aren't many servers that include 'Vanilla' in their tags. I think the respawn time should be set to default, the map selection should include some of the original maps, and rounds per map should be lowered. Playing the same map over and over gets old quick, especially if it's something like Frontier.
I'm going to try to play a bit more, for the last couple weeks I've been playing a lot of Left 4 Dead and Gmod.
I'm the only one in the server right now, and it's 9:30 EST. The server should have a good amount of people.

If that Highlander match is still a possibility, I'd love to be a part of it.

Why does the server require a password?
Edit: Never mind. 6 v. 6 matches.

I believe Notch stated that he took inspiration from this game.
This is correct.

I did some research on it, and most people trade it for 1 refined. I just want to craft my first hat.

I think the respawn times are the biggest issue. It gives the attacking team too much of an advantage.
