Ok after my last post I went back to your OP and tried to read it. I now have some comments for you that are negative. You start out with...

Quote:

hey this is a short article/research paper i wrote about a year ago im now trying to get published anywhere they would like to post it.

It's not a short article. It's friggin' long.
Then you said..........

Quote:

Feel free to copy it as long as the contents arent changed in any way. here is a link to the pdf file: http://freemo.syncleus.com/marijuana.pdf i will copy and paste it here for you lazy people.

Saying that you would copy and paste it for the lazy people made me think you were acting like a arrogant jerk. You get more flies with sugar than with vinegar. It doesn't take much energy to click on a link. It implies that you think pot smokers are a lazy bunch of fucks that can't even handle clicking on a link, but yet the title of your post is "Marijuana:it isn't as bad as you think."
Then I read this..........

Marijuana: It’s Not as Bad as You Think
Written By: Jeffrey Phillips Freeman; May 20, 2003
Marijuana has been around and consumed for over a thousand years. Many people
are not well learned about the effects of marijuana and mostly rely on what they hear on
TV or from other anti-drug sources. Obviously, these sources are greatly biased and
willingly disregard the pursuit of truth in order to achieve a “drug-free” America. Over
the years these anti-drug campaigns have imbued the people with many fears and lies
about marijuana. Some of the most compelling facts that many people aren’t aware of
are, for example, that marijuana won’t cause lung cancer, isn’t addictive, wont kill brain
cells or make you dumb, doesn’t hinder driving ability, and is much less likely to cause
emphysema then cigarettes. But these facts have been twisted, hidden, or completely
falsified throughout the years and many people may find these claims surprising. I hope
to try to balance these lies with truth; however there is over 50 years of lies to overcome.
Cannabis is a weed that will grow wild in most regions and can be found growing
in the wild in the Americas and many parts of Europe. When fully mature and flowered
the flowering tops or leaves must be cut off and dried before it can be smoked. After
being smoked its effects usually take up to 10 minutes before onset. An additional 5 to 10
minutes are required for the full effects to occur; this is followed by a 15 to 30 minute
plateau. Then 45 to 60 minutes for the come down; after effects may take an additional
30 to 60 minutes1.

That is as far as I got. It is boring. If you never have heard of pot or smoked it or had nothing to do with it, then maybe. To me it was it was like the teacher in the Ferris Beuller movie or Charlie Browns teacher in the cartoons.
Sorry. This is my truthful opinion and I won't bother to try to read it all again. It is boring.........

There you go. You want it....you got it....Toyota.

Frankly I don't find that's it's at all to long.
However I can see why some people do. It's in the formatting.
Any time I see an article that is basically just single spaced text I find myself not really wanting to deal with it.

So, why not go back, adjust some of the sentence structure and break down the body as a whole to include paragraph headings etc.

Perhaps less important but technically incorrect is the following -
"Smoking marijuana thru a vaporizer or as pure oil called hash oil can even further reduce the health risks".
One does not "smoke" when using a vaporizer. You might reword it as follows or however you prefer.
Using marijuana by way of a vaporizer or as ....................

Nice work and congratulations on it's inclusion in Wikipedia.
Can you give us a direct link to your article on their site?

That is probably more what he is looking for. Good review sterbo.

1tokeovertheline: I appreciate your candir. Im sorry i came off as defensive. It wasnt intnetional. Remarking about lazy people was not intended to point the finger at pot smokers as being lazy, but rather at society as a whole. People are lazy, whether you smoke pot or not. As for the size; if it were simply written as a forum post, or as a sloagon to rally the troops id agree entirely. But its meant to be an educational research paper, 2 and a half pages seems perfectly reasonable. Dont take this as being defensive, only take it as trying to explain a point of view.

Sterbo: thanks for the point, very valid. As for a direct link to the article on wikipedia...

just go here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabis_%28drug%29 then scroll down to the very bottom under the heading "External Links", it is the last link in the list entitled "Research paper on the effects of marijuana"
