Usually people who smoke MJ strongly deny its effects. That’s part of the reason its debilitating effects are muted - because so many people smoke the stuff and mute anything about its negative effects.

But pot causes psychosis. The degree of psychosis depends on the person, but it causes it. One way to tell that is generally anyone who smokes the stuff almost immediately feels a certain paranoia (especially back in the days when it was illegal).

No, I don’t think the government should regulate what adults choose to do do in their own private lives, but I wish the truth about MJ was more widespread. Screws up the memory something firece also.

The dude is a liberal douchebag. His mind was already fried before he started smoking weed.

Like all leftist turds, his insanity and psychosis increased proportionately to the level of his success in Hollywood. Fe and fortune are every bit as addictive as heroine or methamphetamine. The more you get, the more you need to maintain the “high”.

I suspect that douchebag is beginning to feel death creeping up on him and is now looking for an excuse for his depravity.

Suggest he just come out and admit he sold his soul for fame and fortune.

Otherwise, “F” him and the horse he rode in on.

“Big assumption that typical street marijuana does not contain other psychoactive drugs. Big mistake. Lot of weird drugs can aggravate existing conditions of all kinds when used to ‘strengthen’ marijuana.”

I highly doubt that any measurable amount of street weed contains other drugs.

But hopefully fear should drive all the users to your ‘legal’ store

Not to mention pesticides used by the growers. Pretty sure they are none too careful with the “do not use within X number of days of harvest” instructions.

Not come from a drug damaged brain. IMHO

" Dreyfuss, born and raised in Beverly Hills, California"

No, born in NYC and moved to California at the age of 9.

I believe this is also a big factor in the crazy street violence we’re seeing these days.

Unless he started smoking marijuana at age 6...

...he’s a dumbass, probably from overuse of marijuana (ironically, if being a lib wasn’t bad enough).

I don’t think there is any mental or emotional problem that smoking pot really helps with, except maybe temporarily.

I don’t know a single weed grower who would even think about using pesticides, but tobacco growers on the other hand...

In short, the answer would be “yes.”

What’s he worried about??? Two poles are better than one pole. Unipolars are so one dimensional. Plus we’re naturally smarter. I’m so smart and my brain is so big my head tilts to one side because I can’t hardly hold it up straight from all of the heavy knowledge there.

If you take any mind or mood altering substance long enough and regular enough it will have an impact on you physically and mentally.

Don't see how there could be a question here.

The illicit growers squatting in the national forests do and leave huge messes to boot.

Even though MJ is legal to grow, most states have made the regulatory and tax burden so heavy, that illicit MJ is still cheaper and thus vastly more profitable especially for the illicit growers stealing both land and water. These people don’t give a rat’s ass about the end user’s health.

Oh my, Spotted Owls...

Haven’t heard that in a long time, Maybe it’s time to get to get my bell bottoms and flannel shirts out of storage.

More seriously, our military bases and chemical pharma conglomerates are of such far greater concern this does even register
