Other studies prove that life is a terminal disease. Happiness occurs between the ears and nowhere else.
I call it the pot worm, it is rather amazing to see the almost instant transformation of teens that start using it, once the worm gets into people’s heads, they become very similar, and many even adopt the same dress, hair, music, posters, speech patterns, mannerisms, etc.
The head of medical services at the University of California concluded this in 1964.
duuuude man, legalallaaize it and wait, wait, wait, legalize it and tax it man..
Duhh!! Everybody must get stoned!
I am not sure occasional pot smoking makes a difference but heavy and continual use definitely has an effect.
“Dude, wait..what?”
Anybody who is shocked that a drug like marijuana would affect the brain, especially in the young, is a fool. However, marijuana’s effect on the brain is irrelevant to the question of whether it should be legal for adults, or to the question of whether its illegality has a corrupting effect on government and law enforcement. As an example of this principle, alcohol has also been proven time and again to affect the brain, especially in the young. Consistency, people.
I know a man who has smoked every day for the past 30 plus years. He runs a successful business and provides jobs for more that 12 employees. Makes plenty of money, doesn't cheat on his wife or his taxes, and has been in business for more that 15 years. His behavior and mere existence shows that the stoner stereotype is just that, a stereotype.
The claim of this study is the 10th Amendment at work. Note that there is nothing in the 10th Amendment which prohibits the citizens of a state from making policy which ultimately shoots both feet off.
Let Social Darwinism take its course with respect to marijuana, and I hope other states learn from the mistakes of marijuana states. Perhaps a constitutional amendment restricting the use of marijuana will ultimately be in order.
Hardly need a study. All one needs to do is look at the choom-ganger in the White House, and all the dopehead dregs that voted for him.
Chocolate reshapes the brain, so what?
“I know a man who has smoked every day for the past 30 plus years”
I know over 20 people who smoked every day from the time they were 15 or so. Most have low level, undemanding jobs or still live with parents or relatives and work sporadically. Most are divorced or never married. Most have little ambition beyond getting high, hanging out or going to the bar.
I know people who smoke sometimes but don’t let it interfere with work or family. They do fine and have successful careers.
Instead of selecting individual drugs for chastisement, we should instead be researching WHY humans want to do drugs.
