Fifty years ago, the evidence against marijuana was mostly based on anecdote and experience. Since then, decades of rigorous, well-scrutinized medical and scientific research around the world has established that marijuana has a wide range of ill effects and limited benefit.
In the aggregate, the homelessness problem is a combination of mental health, economic distress, and drug abuse -- including marijuana. The policy problem is that the rights revolution of the 1960s makes it difficult to commit even the obviously mentally ill to confinement and compulsory treatment. Spending on foreign aid has nothing to do with that.
The point that I especially urge you to investigate for yourself is that there is compelling evidence that in susceptible individuals, marijuana triggers and promotes mental illness, which is sometimes expressed violently. If so, then how would you address the risk to the public?
If ya think these young kids are slaughtering classrooms full of kids because they have a buzz on pot, you and your sources are full of s**t. No offense though.
Read this carefully; Anyone who’d do what the mental case in Uvalde did, was very disturbed before they ever touched pot. You’d have to be really stupid or have your own personal agenda not to agree.
Once again, the ugly truth is we’re not caring for our own people who clearly have mental issues. Homeless mental cases are everywhere. We all know the story. What a disgrace!
A big reason for this is we’re to damn busy sending billions out in foreign aid, Ukraine, all them. Hundreds of billions! Enough to build and staff dozens of mental hospitals/facilities from coast to coast.
Btw, after the COVID 19 epic charade, I seen and heard the enought from the, “Medical experts” to last me a lifetime. They made complete asses out of themselves.
