Open my eyes?

“prescribing” pot to a kid for laziness or ADHD is pure stupidity. People who do that deserve bullets to brains.
I don’t care what adults do. As long as its legal to fire or not to hire them because of drug use then I don’t care.
Word on that. I meant for the diseases I had discussed earlier. ADHD? Don’t think so. there are two drugs and a cup of coffee for that.
The only cure for laziness, is hunger. Not the hunger of avarice or achievement but the hunger like “Guess I better do some work, lest I starve again, tonight”..
LOL
Agree there! But who in the hell prescribes pot to a kid for "laziness or ADHD"?
Pot would make them more lazy. And Ritalin is the usual medication for ADHD. They give hyperactive kids Ritalin (speed) because it has an opposite effect on them before puberty, it slows them down where it would speed an adult up. Pot would be useless for ADHD.
I worked in a Middle School while I was getting a Psych (Behavioral Science) degree in the 1990's and I could tell you Ritalin horror stories that were all too common at the time.
A kid starts getting more hyperactive so the pediatrician (who does know a damn thing about ADD or ADHD ) ups his dose, as a result the kid gets even more hyperactive so the doctor continues upping his dose, until the kid is bouncing off the walls like a speed demon! Why? Because Ritalin must be adjusted downward when the kid goes through puberty, but the doctor didn't know that because no one told him! Meanwhile, the kid has become an even bigger problem for his school, his parents and himself -- and there were fifty just like him at our school each year! I spent half my day dealing with ADD and ADHD kids with their prescribed drug problems.
Prescribed meds are not always the panacea that drug companies would like you to believe. Most of these kids would have been better without taking anything and learning to deal with their feelings and behavior.
