well, North America is already suffering from an obesity and stupidity epidemic, and progressive “leaders” legalize and promote a drug to make it worse.

Those corrupt elites want the masses stoned, unfit and unmotivated. It’s the only way they can appear to be an “elite”.

"SSRI antidepressants are rumored to be the drugs associated with mass shooters. Those are prescription meds."

We weren't shown the drug backgrounds of all of them. But of those I found and can recall now, one was on a drug for ADHD. I might have missed another one. The others, whether or not on antidepressants, were on benzodiazepines, other drugs popular in raves and discos, some of those mixed with meth, coke and/or just meth. Some of them were potheads.

The effects on the intelligence level of present day college students is also high (no pun intended) but it is reflected in their stupidity, ignorance, and incompetence levels re real life.

Today’s millenials are like lemming, only they WANT to rush over the cliff or into the rivers because they’ve been taught to accept that as a normal way to do things.

We’re gonna need more rivers and cliffs to clean out this mob of millennial misfits.

True, but I don’t know why people make a big deal about more potent cannabis. It’s like comparing hard alcohol to beer. One simply needs to use less of it to achieve the same effect.

Then explain why the dems didn’t legalize when they had control of Congress, and Obama in the WH.

Also, explain why the progressive leaders of Massachusetts and California never legalized. It took the voters to do so by referendum.

Fact is, mj prohibition is a progressive big government program, and progressives are as loathe to give it up as some conservatives.

You should all listen to Trump on this issue => https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOpgIDMV07o

Those who are energetic and can think straight will do ok as long as they don’t have to prop up those who aren’t energetic and who can’t think straight.

While I don’t know if I can actually say that being in Vietnam had it’s benefit’s I can say this. Thai Sticks! When I got back to the real world the pot that was available was like drinking 3.2 beer.

Yes and yes.

Usage is up and sadly it seems we are sending dumber and dumber kids into college. Lower standards all the way around starting in the first grade and it just gets worse. Colleges used to serve a purpose now it seems they just serve themselves and their agenda. With federal involvement in the student loan department it got much worse.

Stoners generally are not motivated. I doubt they are a huge block of voters.

I am in my 50’s. I have high-school classmates who were bigtime dope fans who today are washing dishes and driving cabs.

Does nothing good IMHO.
