Side effects vary by individuals. Although the angel heads who figure that mixing MJ with PCP for a better high are far from calm.

To observe a stoner is a lesion in stupidity.

[Vermont Lt]

A lesion? Isn’t that a tumor or some kind of skin disease.

Or did you mean “lesson.”

[Vaduz]

lesson

One down side, our ultra-Left county council decided we need more diversity in our quiet, crime free neighborhood, so they built a low income-Section 8-homeless apartment building one block away.

They are doing the exact same thing where I live. I expect them to fill the housing with the next wave of refugees to hit the US.

Time to move to Steven's County.

You are probably right about that.

Last week at Safeway a family of six Hispanic newbies were standing around a self-serve check-out station while the assistant store manager explained to them, in Spanish, how to scan their food and use their EBT Card.

I thought the 1960”s were insane.

But this - this is premeditated cultural and economic suicide.

I detest pot and the people promoting it.

I saw good kids get off track with it when in high school in the late 70’s.
Now my 20 year son thinks he has to use it. It is slowly diminishing him.

I would execute the people selling it if I could find them.

[Kaslin]

For the world of me I can not see how anyone can smoke that stinking weed.

[ConservingFreedom]

I would execute the people selling it if I could find them.

In Colorado and Washington you can find their stores using the yellow pages.

What part of “it might tend to make some people more aggressive” do you understand?

[ConservingFreedom]

One of the "positive" benefits of MJ according to its proponents is that, unlike alcohol, it tends to relax users and make them less aggressive. [...] If MJ has a calming effect, why didn't it calm the black males killed in the recent high profile incidents? [emphasis added]

Which part of "tends" did you not understand?

What part of “it might tend to make some people more aggressive” do you understand?

I understand that it's the first time you've made that statement; I also understand that even if true it doesn't contradict the population-wide generalization that pot "tends to relax users and make them less aggressive."

[central_va]

Stupidity lesions, you should know all about that.

[central_va]

I am sorry for your son and especially you. You may have to lick him out of the house. (If you haven't already done so).

Pot is harmless, yeah right. One of the biggest de motivators that there is.

[tacticalogic]

I understand that it's the first time you've made that statement; I also understand that even if true it doesn't contradict the population-wide generalization that pot "tends to relax users and make them less aggressive."

It works the same way for gun control. Being armed tends to make you safer, but for a gun control proponent one instance of someone having their own gun used against them will trump all other evidence.

[driftless2]

Maybe it does...I’ve never used the drug first-hand. I’m a pretty calm person. My contention is that maybe MJ calms some groups and not others.

[ConservingFreedom]

My contention is that maybe MJ calms some groups and not others.

Wouldn't shock me - but the calmed group seems to outnumber the uncalmed group.

[ConservingFreedom]

Pot is harmless, yeah right.

Who says pot is harmless? Water is not harmless.
