LEGALIZING CANNABUS...

What could possibly go wrong?

What did "go wrong" here? Illegally grown cannabis was seized and destroyed. When illegal alcohol stills are seized and destroyed, is that evidence the the legality of alcohol has "gone wrong"?

the sheriffs pretend they don’t see anything.

That, not the legal grows, is your problem. A corrupt or corruption-permissive head sheriff needs to be voted out of office.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen that. I am aware of it.
I’ve read too many articles about scientific studies, including many posted here.
It’s not that I care, I’ve never had a desire to try it.

But there was that one date, cute as a button and 15 years younger than me. She had a deer in the headlights look to her when I mentioned that pot causes bipolar.
Absolutely Great date.
Then she went to the dark side.
But she was great the next day for 30 minutes until she went to the dark side.
And the next day, and the next.. for a week.
Then I got a text saying, “You deserve to know, I’m bipolar”.
Rats.

Wow! You need to publish this in some medical journal and here you’ve documented it and everything. They can’t overlook this conclusive evidence.

She didn’t want to believe it either.
I think she came back with “some people use pot to self”-medicate.
Yeah, sort of like more alcohol helps a hangover.

Not that pot is like alcohol. London researchers documented that long term pot use damages the same area of the brain that is seen as damaged in bipolar and schizophrenic patients.

Not saying all bi-polars are the result of pot usage. Nor am I sayng that everyone who uses pot will become bi-polar or schitzo.
It’s a risk you and yourself took.

A joke, not an accusation.

Documentation is on the internet. Here let me google that for you.

Both hemp and marijuana are cannabis. If it was 25% THC, it was Weed. If it was 1% THC, it could have been that the hemp crop went “hot”.

How is it that the US and the Netherlands have among the lowest rates of schizophrenia in the world, and Singapore has one of the highest?

Pot is not the only causative factor of Schizophrenia. There could be genetic, environment, or dietary factors at work in Singapore.

What does that mean? Are you suggesting that 25% THC cannabis spontaneously germinated from 1% THC cannabis? If so, do you have any evidence that this is possible? Growers of weed go to great efforts to raise THC levels.

I find it highly amusing that liberals in California have no problem at all waging a war on illegal drugs when for decades they told us that the war on drugs was not winnable.

ROTFL! From the very first result on that page: "The connection between the drug and the mental illness is not completely understood and is thought to be more complicated than a simple cause and effect."

We had a perfectly normal mud slinging and accusations and finger pointing going on and here you ruin with your "logic" and "sound reasoning". That's why we can't have anything nice around here.
