Why do you think they call it dope.
I remember that one.
It’s true.
Can’t stop laughing!
They know to what gender they want to change.
In fact they know every damn thing! Again, can’t stop laughing!
From the article: “However, marijuana use did not appear to cause any other harms to the teenage brain, his team found.”

It’s thought that while cannabis does not cause schizophrenia in those who do not have a genetic predisposition, it can “set it off” in those who do. It’s still debated, granted, but it does at least appear that cannabis use triggers psychotic episodes in those genetically at risk for schizophrenia:

And what about lowered IQ in teens who become heavy users early on, or regular users during their teen/young adult years? And what about other neurocognitive effects?
Persistent cannabis users show neuropsychological decline from childhood to midlife:

Smoke weed regularly in your teens (even the milder 1970s stuff), lose 8 IQ points (does not affect adults the same way):

Pot is not a totally harmless substance. If adults want to mess with it, fine. Lots of adults pickle their livers and brains by abusing alcohol. But it looks to be quite harmful to developing brains. And our brains continue to develop into our mid twenties, so ...
I think I was addicted when a teen. What stopped me? College math, responsibilities, and martial arts. Can’t do weed and martial arts. I suppose some can, but not me.
Tried some weed about ten years ago and was so danged strong I got absolutely paranoid.
No kidding?
A time for developing coping skills spent in a trance. Yep.
Good memory! Bad punctuation, though, lol, JK.
Would you share, when you first heard that true one, who were the “you” and who were the “they?”
Cool that you know this stuff!
But the potency of marijuana has quadrupled over the past couple of decades and the concentration of THC is far higher in today's products, especially in vapes and edibles, than it was in the past," Richter said.
Cannabis potency is established through raids and seizures.
That cannabis is tested and, yes, today's seized cannabis is stronger
because most of the cannabis seized these days isn't low THC ditch weed.
Better weed is sold so the potency, based on seizures, is naturally going to go up.
The claim being made is a ruse.
...cannabis samples seized by the DEA...
I’m about to smoke pot again......with all this carp going on.
That's why early use of //marijuana\\ significantly increases the risk of substance use problems.
That's why early use of marijuana alcohol significantly increases the risk of substance use problems.
That's why early use of marijuana tobacco significantly increases the risk of substance use problems.
That's why early use of marijuana pain medication significantly increases the risk of substance use problems.
Typo or not, that's funny either way!
Of course they are. That’s why the RAT politicians are pushing so hard to let them “vote.” Little high bass turds will vote for commie RATS every time.
Marijuana is a religion, not a drug. Users of alcohol or cocaine, etc. will allow you to criticize those drugs. Marijuana users feel about marijuana like Muslims feel about Allah. You must never criticize it. It is perfect like Allah, and can do anything.
Use of marijuana significantly increases the risk of voting for socialism.
Let that be a lesson to you. /s
WOW. That’s some grade A hyperbole there.
LOL You have been proving my point.
LOL You have been proving my point.
What point is that?
