All you have to do is look at Barry.
Conservatives have been saying this for a LONG time.
According to a new study published in the Journal of Neuroscience, researchers from Harvard and Northwestern studied the brains of 18- to 25-year-olds, half of whom smoked pot recreationally and half of whom didn’t. What they found was rather shocking: Even those who only smoked few times a week had significant brain abnormalities in the areas that control emotion and motivation.

Now will the Pot Dope Heads Shut Up?
That explains why so many states are ‘legalizing’ pot and opening pot shops, (”medical marijuana”)
They need more shrunken-brained idiots walking around. They will demand services from the government, not hold a job, and vote democrat when they are lucid enough to check a box.
A shift for Harvard, longtime bastion of the movement for dope for human advancement.
I guess as a sheeple conservative I’m supposed to think Harvard is a valid school based on the title of this study.
Seriously, if people want to bash themselves on their insteps repeatedly with claw hammers for fun, I am bound and determined to let them, and not care one whit if they cripple themselves.
There is not a single, legitimate argument that anyone can make that for some magical reason, they have the authority to make the hammer-bashers stop.
If it’s not your foot, and not your hammer, it is not your business. So butt out.
This study may be true and correct, but as to legalizing or not, I don’t suspect keeping it illegal will stop anybody from using it.
So still I ask: so what?
I used to work in drug rehab and noticed something interesting. Alcoholics or heroin junkies once they are gotten off their drug of choice tend to be less airheaded than most of the pot smokers I’ve known. Pot tends to stop any emotional development. My unscientific research says that this is why people in their 50s and 60s that still behave like children. Pot heads.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited. None to regulate agricultural production is given, and therefore legislation by Congress for that purpose is forbidden (emphasis added).” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
In fact, the only reason that the feds had historically prohibited the production of intoxicating liquors was because the states had amended the Constitution, as evidenced by the 18th Amendment, to grant the feds the specific power to do so. But also note that the feds lost the power to prohibit intrastate alcohol production when the states ratified the 21st Amendment which repealed the 18th Amendment.
Getting back to the 10th Amendment-protected intrastate marijuana industry, the medical understanding of any bad effects of use of marijuana magnified by its widespread use have arguably been delayed by constitutionally indefensible interference with intrastate marijuana commerce by the corrupt feds imo.
Note that the individual states can regulate the intrastate production of anything that they want to, ultimately depending on what the legal majority voters of a given state want imo.
That’s ok, thanks to socialized medicine and welfare the healthy can pay for all of these brain abnormalities.
It’s probably behind the increasing popularity of conspiracy tales (paranoia).
Marijuana has many well-documented health benefits. It can also be abused, like anything else. It is especially dangerous to developing teenager brains.
Alcohol is many more times dangerous, however. And to deny the economic threat and resulting bias against it from pharmaceutical and chemical companies is inexcusable.
Overall, weed’s benefits vastly outweigh it’s threats FOR ADULTS, especially when compared with the daggers of alcohol and prescription anti-anxiety and antidepressant meds.
And that’s not even getting into what possible legal right the government has in deciding what a person can or cannot ingest. That old problem of freedom gets in the way over and over again.
You know what the difference is between someone who smokes weed, and someone who smokes weed and commits an injury against someone else while under the influence?
Everything.
Weak are the worshippers of a weed. Looks like they’re brain damaged, too.
What was the question? I was listening to the Allman Brothers.
FOR PEACE!
FOR POT!
FOR LEGAL HOOKERS!
FOR RON PAUL!
