“Now nine in ten teens at drug clinics are being treated for marijuana use”
That’s funny right there, I don’t care WHO you are.
In Britain anyone under 18 caught with pot is compelled by the courts to attend rehab.
Like I said, pot is far less harmful than many other things. Note I said “less harmful” not harmless.
The articles you cite really don’t put the issue in proper context.
Cars can be very harmful, once introduced in society there has been a spike in traffic deaths — so should we ban cars?
The internet can be very addicting too, should we ban that?
Sex can have unwanted consequences, should we ban that?
Too much sugar and candy can kill you too, ban that?
Point is that people do stupid things and get addicted to practically anything.
IMHO, Pot falls into that category of it is stupid if you overuse and it greatly impairs
your ability to live responsibly — as MANY OTHER THINGS AS I MENTIONED ABOVE CAN DO TOO!
Like someone who can drink a beer and have a glass of wine once in a while, pot can also fall into that sphere of use.
Herion, meth, cociane and such substances are a completely different category of stupid — those substances should be heavily pursued by law enforcement — not too many casual users of those poisons.
Pot is nowhere near that category of stupid.
God Bless.
