Think it's harmless? Now nine in ten teens at drug clinics are being treated for marijuana use

Fentanil is cheap as carp. That’ll calm ‘em down.

“But the fact is, irrational fear is one of the common first immediate effects of smoking MJ.”

I’ve never tried it and never will but that is exactly what my daughter told me. Because of that she’s done with it.

[Trailerpark Badass]

“Synthetic” pot and pot are not even remotely the same thing.

[sparklite2]

What is their treatment for grass use? Denial of munchies?

[Fungi]

Of course they’re not pot head.

[Trailerpark Badass]

Lol, a FR thread about drug use is as absurdly entertaining as a FR thread about guns. A lot of people with almost no experience throwing around crap they really don’t understand.

[mewzilla]

It doesn’t have to be addictive to do long term damage to the brain of an adolescent user.

[Trailerpark Badass]

And yet, you conflate the two, dumbass.

[Jim W N]

Glad to hear it. You and your daughter are lucky.

[Noamie]

Ken, so your point is that we cannot talk realistically about the bad/harmful aspects of pot ...because alcohol exists?

Solid argument. Go with that.

[Trailerpark Badass]

Odd non-sequitor.

[Mr.Unique]

Actual drug addiction or simply being taken to a clinic??

If you commit a crime and happen to be high or in possession, it suddenly turns into a drug issue.

It keeps the rehabs in business.

Goood post

Most here don’t know the effect of pot except they don’t like who smokes it where they live

In the south where most white people are righties of some order outside of hipster urban areas pot smokers tend to be like anybody else

It’s like guns with liberals....
They fear who have them but know little about them themselves

"What is their treatment for grass use? Denial of munchies?"

Benzos (e.g., Xanax) and healthy stuff like that. Fix 'em right up after a couple years or so. Oh...and a couple of years of talking to the typical, state and local government funded, Freudian psychoanalyst. In many states, it's even legal to get THC to cure the effects from years of smoking pot. It's official and academic, you know, so it cures everything (not to mention, very lucrative for state and local government folks). See how it all works?

[Big, stinky load of irony and sarcasm in there somewhere.]

[Noamie]

Not a single twin study on animals or humans has shown any damage or any changes from even the highest concentrations of cannabis.
——
cite these “studies.” Seriously. One of the problems we have is that Americans have been prohibited from conducting studies on weed because of its schedule. Its why we have synthc. Please post links to this important research.

[familyop]

The same medical professionals are part of the gun control lobby, too. They hope to get everyone under their control someday.

[Telepathic Intruder]

Unlike many things, “experience” in drug use makes one less of an expert. Typically when I say pot is both addictive and harmful, it’s easy to tell who is really in denial due to the characteristic bitter and angry reaction. You don’t get that worked up about something unless you’re trying to convince yourself more than anyone else.

The worst I can say about it is that it can be very detrimental to motivation. Dangerous? No. Deadly? No. Nobody’s daughter smokes too much and gets raped at a party because she is dead stoned. Dead drunk, yes it happens all the time. And worse.

I don’t make light of it, but I will also call bs where it is due.

I’ve known some brilliant unmotivated people that made nothing of their lives. And that was a waste.

[familyop]

I like to think of it as part of a good plan.

“causing psychosis”

Bogus claim. Considering very few graduates today know the scientific approach and merely write for political purposes to receive grant money, I’ll wait until a peer reviewed research paper that follow proper scientific protocols has been published.

You might as well tell me there is global warming because some research grant says so.
