Can pot be “used in moderation”? I thought that a single puff can get you high, thus affecting your reasoning? (I’ve never tried it, nor would I ever do so, but I have plenty of friends who have smoked pot and they all claim that it affects you immediately.) You certainly need more than a sip of wine to affect your brain.
For millennia, the most advanced civilizations in the world have enjoyed alcohol in moderation. There is no similar tradition for use of other drugs. I would never advocate legalizing the recreational use of mind-altering drugs. But then again, I also think that drunkenness, which denies a person of the reasoning ability that is God’s gift to mankind, should be illegal. (If that makes me a bad conservative, tough titties.)

Interesting thought...Does Marijuana
Still make people paranoid, even in places it is legal?
It's one thing to freak over an approaching ambulance if pot is illegal, but who is coming to take the user away if it's considered okay?

Does Marijuana Induce Psychosis? I dunno, but do know of two cases where constance use in the mid teen years resulted in big time psychoses, in mid 30s...
Could be just a coincidence.

Apparently it is fairly firmly linked to some pretty serious manifestations in a subset of the user population who may already be inclined toward instability but are not symptomatic. If they are already otherwise medicated, perhaps there is an interaction going on.

Rape is about control. If you can control a cat you can control anything. When you’ve got the Viking Kitties the pillaging is a given. I think we’ll start by pillaging a pot shop.

“Yes it does.
There are a couple of very good medical studies that show this”
Well that and the scientific film “Reefer Madness” :-)

I think it has a psychotic affect on the user regardless of its legality. I know because it screwed me up.

Believe what you will. But I’ve never smoked a cigarette or a cigar, either.

RE:”

(Ive never tried it, nor would I ever do so, but I have plenty of friends who have smoked pot and they all claim that it affects you immediately.) You certainly need more than a sip of wine to affect your brain.” I am on the fence on pot legalization.
In a vacuum it seems like a bad idea but as a substitute for alcohol it has its pluses and its minuses, and your minus has legitimacy. Plus its hard for cops to prove with drivers.
But alcohol has many minuses too that pot doesn't have.
I always post ‘no’ on threads lowering the legal age for drinking, it was 18 when I turned 18 and it wasn't pretty.
Of course most of those same kids under 18 drinking back in those days smoked pot too,

Kids smoking pot is a disaster, but then again kids drinking can be pretty ugly too.

One more thought, now we got a state that legalized it.
Other states should wait to see how that experiment works out.
They are the guinea pigs.
