What child?

Lol... yet another person who watched a short clip regarding a study, about which they know nothing, and now takes the responses to it as Gospel.

---

You said "Cutting off usage for a few months should remove any supposed affects of THC." My question is if that will reverse the autism attributed to daddy doping?

---

Then you completely didn't understand my post. In the interview, he asks her if the DNA damage they proclaim it causes in sperm is permanent. She said it was not and shouldn't be a factor after a few months of non-usage.

Again, I don't blindly accept a random study that someone posts a 2 minute clip about as gospel. But even in this interview, it's not discussed as a permanent issue. If you were looking to try to get pregnant, then stop usage for a while and then have at it.

But I don't buy most of this bull***** If you're that worried about THC, what are your stances on vaccines, plastics in our food, how our crops are grown, etc. We've seen an increase in autism diagnoses over the last 30 years or so, and different groups claim it is correlated to many different culprits. Hell, there's more information out there on vaccines being a huge issue. This is literally a single study that has not been challenged or replicated.

Impossible. Homeless guy down the street told me it cured cancer and was harmless.

Homeless people aren't smoking much weed. They're on everything else including alcohol. Lol

Predictable. People say weed is bad then pot heads are all "but but but alcohol…."

Marijuana ideologues won't read this. Too many facts.



Link to book.

Did everyone just miss that this was a study done on 24 people, in which 12 had some observed effect. Lol

There's some irony here. I've never used so maybe I'm not an expert. I had 3 roommates my first 3 semesters at A&M. They all failed out and ended up back at home because they couldn't get out of bed to go to class because they were f'd up every morning. All of them one and done. I've known several people in my life that have failing or failed kids that have one thing in common. I'm not saying other things don't contribute to lack of motivation and failure. If it works for you and makes you sharper and more successful keep it up.

Might be the person not the weed.

I have partaken with numerous successful people from doctors to business owners.

I had 4 sick days in 19 years. Now I play golf like you but just a bit younger

I don't do weed. I spent way too many years with a clearance to get into it. Got my initial clearance at 19 as a co-op student.

Funny thing is that I now work for a place that doesn't care or test.

I just have zero urge to get into it.

But, I know several successful people that do weed...but not at work. Kind of like people that drink a lot but...not at work.

lol. Ok boomers!!!

Well the common denominator wasn't the people.

Must have made the ones I know all smart and successful then

Hope everyone had a great 4/20 yesterday! I slept like a rock

Alcohol, Pot/THC, Tobacco, etc. are not beneficial to the brain. Hard drugs are worse. Not really debatable.

Social stigmas exist with all of them, but less so with alcohol.

Long term/heavy use with any of these results with issues that can have significant health issues, hard drugs being the leader in this category. Not really debatable.

The real issue that I have witnessed in my life, is that alcohol does not necessarily lead to anything more than alcohol issues, which are bad, but a focused issue.

The real issue that I have witnessed is, due to the nature of being truly unregulated (no matter which State), is that MJ exposes users to other drugs that are unregulated/illegal due to the nature of distribution and becomes an easy gateway to the harder drugs that likely have an irreversible outcome to the negative effect.

When it gets down to it, it is largely a cultural discipline effect. I know lots of people that drink alcohol a bit to the excess, but never let it affect their familial or professional lives. Same with Pot. However, I have seen people get into a pipeline of help with alcohol to correct their ways. Differentially, I have seen people that liked Pot slide into the darker drugs with a lesser off ramp. I've seen both type users that can handle every day life just fine professionally.

As seeing both in the professional life, early in their careers, usually the one that is occasionally hungover seems to lessen the issue over time because of the pain of it. Not always. The one that gets stoned/high usually seems to feel like it does not affect them because of lack of hangover effect, defends their position because of the lack of pain and continues the use if not increasing it. Again, not always if they are career driven.

There is no solution other than choices that individuals make, that will affect them, their lives both personally and professionally.

Actually, it is very debatable considering there is a plethora of research that shows that "hard drugs" such as LSD can actually be very beneficial to the brain in microdose quantities.

The rest of your post is pretty laughable, but you do you.

They are STILL spouting the failed DARE program talking points. Propaganda runs deep.

Study brought to us by Budweiser?

Yup. Shows you how well decades of brainwashing can work.

If anybody is interested, marijuana was added to the Schedule 1 drug list temporarily. It was added until the Shafer Commission's report was publicized. That was in 1970.

In 1972 the Shafer Comission recommended that it be removed from the list because there was no evidence that it belonged on the list at all. In fact, the Commission compared marijuana use to that of........alcohol. And stated that it posed no social danger and proposed using education and other social measures to discourage use versus making it illegal. The Shafer Commision was made up of a mix of politicians and medical doctors.

Nixon chose not to do anything, and in 1974 the Senate Internal Security Subcommission (super duper medical folks here), chaired by James Eastland (D - Miss) recommended that it stay Schedule 1 because they (again, super duper medical folks here) determined it was dangerous. (Note: their "report" has pretty much universally been debunked by actual medical folks over the years).

A bit on Sen. James Eastland: Old school southern democrat. Plantation owner that came from old south money, fought vehemently for segregation and against civil rights, hated Jews, was pro Jim Crow. You know, typical democrat. He used his position to keep marijuana as a Schedule 1 because he saw it as a drug that blacks used and wanted a way to control and punish what he saw as an inferior race through the court system.

And it's been on the list - temporarily - since 1970.

Sure... i'm sure it had NOTHING to do with anything else. I have known more people who have destroyed their lives due to alcohol that anything else.

And, no **** boomer, if you wake up every day, get high, and stay high all day, then you aren't going to do anything. It's not the weed. It's everything else in that person's life that is causing them to simply give up on life. You seem to be under the impression that any smoker literally smokes all day long because you think it's highly addictive.

Your generation really is brainwashed by your "weed kills" ads.

Anyone who wakes up and immediately starts using any drug, including alcohol, has basically given up on life. They have issues that need to be addressed. The same can be said for ANY behavior people turn to in order to avoid responsibilities.

Also known to damage young, still developing brains.

Probably why segments of society known to be heavy users from a young age have very poor impulse control and are prone to homicidal violence within a split second.

So does alcohol, and nicotine, and sugar, and not allowing kids to be kids and learn through experience, etc.

Also - your second sentence, provide some context and data por favor.

The most pathetic line of argumentation that potheads engage in is "but alcohol is worse". If you aren't capable of defending it without comparisons to alcohol, then you've already lost.

I'm in favor of immediate reclassification to schedule II or III, and legalization on a state by state basis. At a minimum, the rescheduling needs to happen so it can really be studied. There is so much bad information coming from people who want to ban it and people who want to legalize it, that needs to end.

This is such a simpleton and rather dumb take. Just wanted to point that out.
