And adolescent pot use is an issue for parents, not cops.
It is all too apparent which of my students smoke too much and which don’t. Either the kids don’t realize how obvious it is which of them smoke, or they simply don’t care about the precipitous loss of IQ.
LOL! You beat me to it. Never felt any never felt any never felt any never felt any after-effects when I quit quit quit quit quit
This is nothing new, people. Anybody with half a brain would know that filling your head with chemicals while the brain is still in development will result in abnormal or retarded development. I will remind you geniuses that the study focuses on ADOLESCENT pot use (abuse, really) and therefore has no bearing on the legalization question, as nobody is making it legal for minors. In fact, the delicacy of adolescent brain development is such that a person with common sense would expect similar results if alcohol or tobacco use, or ritalin for that matter, were tracked in the same manner. The lack of simple logical thinking on these threads makes me believe that most of you were stoners when you were kids.
Most of the parents in this community probably PROMOTE the idea of marijuana smoking to their spawn...
So you agree that bad policing and police methods won’t be fixed by legalizing drugs.
One of the indicators of reduced IQ as a result of chronic early pot use was the tendency to respond to stimuli with irrational, irrelevant thoughts.

Stupid teenagers grow into stupid adults.
I seriously beleive that most leftists have stunted mental growth and capacity somehow in someway. They think like perpetual spoiled teenagers. You cannot talk sense into them no matter how logical the argument.
Think about it, then think about how many of these people you know who smoked pot. Of course, many make it out wiht their mind and sanity intact; but I would call them exceptions, not the rule.
I always state that no psych college textbook I had to read (pretty recent) was pro-legalizing marijuana and they were liberal.
Other than that the first question that came to me is when does the brain fully develop?
“In a recent paper in the Journal of Neuroscience (link is external), investigators described a study in which they monitored white matter changes in 103 healthy human subjects, ages 5 to 32 years. For each subject, they imaged the brain at least twice with an average period of four years between scans. Some tracts, such as sections of the corpus callosum, appeared to reach maturity during adolescence, but, in about 50 % of the older subjects, the association fiber tracts continued to mature. These fiber tracts may be important for the performance of complex cognitive tasks. Does the development of these pathways vary with experience and training, and can these tracts continue to grow throughout life?”

Then I wondered if the meds they use for mental illness has this side effect? The anti-boy med ritalin has long term effects on the amount of white matter. So, hey, all those jokes about men being daffy are because they are too dang boyish when kids.
Serious edit: the texts were ANTI-legalizing...LOL no I don’t smoke, but I did have epilepsy for 15 years and that fried some circuits.
fer sure.
How do you try pot once, a bunch of times? Would that not be more than once? LOL
this explains Jeb Bush.
I know a guy who has been smoking pot since 1967.Talk about a wasted life.
Guy next door ,young and in his mid thirties ,big pot user.
Looks like his head is always in the clouds.Talks slow,moves slow.
Sex act?
There is a reason it is called dope.
Sex addicts are like any other addict. WJC for example. Overdoing anything can make you null and void.
