Proponents of mj are either deliberately obtuse or genuinely stupid. There is no other explanation.
You are correct. Drug use by young persons prevents emotional maturation.
> Only a fool, or an addict, or an addicted fool, could possibly think that one can regularly ingest a psychotropic drug and not have it adversely affect one’s brain.
or any of the millions of people who are voluntarily taking psychotropic drugs lovingly supplied by our medical exploitation industry
“ingest a psychotropic drug and not have it adversely affect one’s brain”
Alcohol is a psychotropic drug.
I heard an attorney, who’s wife is a mental health professional in NY, on Fox one morning not long ago. He had written a book, at his wife’s behest, about the mental health issues created by heavy marijuana use, some of which included violent episodes. The gist of that interview was that his wife is certain that heavy marijuana use is becoming a major factor in violent crime because of its impact on mental and emotional health, but that fact is being ignored. We need to press the pause button and study this a little more before we rush headlong into legalization. I am not an expert on the matter, but there are some voices crying in the wilderness on this subject.
For crying out loud, can’t we make a decision anymore in this country based on a careful review of facts? Politics and cultural expediency make 99% of our policy decisions these days. That is a recipe for disaster.
Hear!Hear! Thats the plain truth NO one wants to admit. Either a substance has an effect or it does not. If MJ dulls pain receptors as medicine it affects brain neurons. If it does NOT affect the brain then “medicinal” marijuana is a lie. If you have no pain what is it dulling? Your senses,your reactions,your thinking.How does that help an already disturbed brain?
