Chronic marijuana use by teenage boys does not appear to be linked to later physical or mental health issues such as depression, psychotic symptoms or asthma, according to a study published by the American Psychological Association.

They all sound like Tommy Chong. Actually, I think it’s him making the calls.

...while denying that drug abuse was more prevalent among psych. students on campus.

Exactly. These are some of the same clowns that celebrate bruce jenners insanity as if it were normal. If they say long term dope addiction is harmless, then the opposite is true.

Manmade global warming and now this.

More government paid-for studies.

And my heavy pot smoking friends from back in the day are today burnt out.

I’m an 82 year old cigarette smoker and doing just fine so maybe that means that cigarettes are harmless also.

Well, then the real question becomes: why have you continued to smoke cigarettes despite evidence that they are harmful? Is it because you believe you are free to make your own decisions about health risks? Why would you deny the freedom to others that you still enjoy? If we ban marijuana because we believe it is unhealthy, shouldn't we also ban tobacco? And alcohol? And soda?

The potheads you see in the media are a biased sample of exhibitionists.

Those who talk, don’t know. Those who know, don’t talk.

People who enjoy pot occasionally and have productive lives don’t participate in these sorts of surveys, for fear of later repercussions.

My opinion, of course.

I don’t know if cigarettes are harmless, but I defend your right to consume them.

Ah, weed! Numerous studies show that long term use can cause...uh...uh, what was I talking about? Ah, yes, weed!

Potheads don’t debate.

That's the drug talking.

[dware]

Pot Ping List!

Let me know if you want on or off.

[ConservingFreedom]

If a bunch of college potheads say so

Who - the researchers from the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center and Rutgers University, or the 36-year-olds they studied?

Oops, little typo there. Let me help: 4'7”

Huh?
