  Smoking cannabis can lead to manic behaviour: Hyperactivity, aggression and delusion are all strongly linked with the drug, researchers warn

The man killed by cannabis: 53-year-old died after four joint-a-day habit triggered fatal heart condition

[Berlin_Freeper]

• Scientists found a 'significant link' between marijuana and manic episodes
• Mania includes symptoms such as depression, anger and aggression
• Also includes hyperactivity, less need for sleep and feelings of elation 
• In extremes, can cause people to become delusional and hear voices
• Cannabis can make mania worse in people with bipolar disorder, they said

  You will easily recognize the above in this thread.

Wax, the ultimate distillation of marijuana, is so potent that it is said a single hit will keep a person high for more than a day.

“We have seen people have an onset of psychosis and even brain damage from that exposure to that high concentration of THC,” said Gary Hill, assistant special agent in charge at the DEA's San Diego office.

Reefer madness was an excellent film.

I never learned until after I quit smoking tobacco that nicotine is a production of the tobacco plant as a natural pesticide.

Worst of all, it leads to unemployment, welfare dependency and, ultimately, leftist voting tendencies.

Between dope and illegals, it is not looking good.

Then toss in “freebies”.

Our only hope is to keep the FSA (Free Sh*t Army) too stoned to move while we storm the Bastille, (metaphorically speaking, of course).

"...“We have seen people have an onset of psychosis and even brain damage..."

What a cute bedtime story for the anti-pot psycho's. Purely anecdotal, completely fabricated, and devoid of any factual basis or evidentiary support. Just like all these "pot horror stories" going back to H.J. Anslinger (sp?) in the 1930's (father of the all-time-classic "Reefer Madness," LMAO!!!!)

Then you have a guy like me. 40 years smoking the stuff, never had one problem, highly successful carreer, beautiful home/wife/family, and this factual case is mimicked by virtually every pot smoker I have known and associated with for the past 40 years.

These "scare the kiddies" fantasy tales are as old and re-hashed (pardon the pun) as they are false and pathetic. Grow up. Get a grip. 20-30% of the country (yes, it is that much) have been smoking the stuff daily since the 70's.

If there were going to be any tidal wave of horrific results, we'd have seen them decades ago.

That is the plain, unvarnished truth.... minus the estrogen needed to make it another offensive soap-opera.

"Worst of all, it leads to unemployment,..."

Nope. There was a definite shift away from democrats in 2014 =>

Colorado 2012 => House: 37D 28R; Senate: 19D 16R

Colorado 2014 => House: 34D 31R; Senate: 17D 18R

wow, you smoke all that dope and still think you’re a winner?

Gal 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
Gal 6:8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he tha t soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

[RaceBannon]

remember, people WHO GIVE UP LOOKING are taken off those rolls...

[TigersEye]

Ditto!

[Gargantua]

Wow. You must be a judge, right?

Even Satan can quote scripture, but can you tell me, who created the pot plant? When He created it, was it a mistake?

Try to be more mindful of the plank in your own eye. There's a good lad.

[Gargantua]

Please show me the quote where I said, “I’m a winner.” These phony, contrived, straw-man non-arguments are boring, predictable, and apparently just about your speed. Nice work, Schlomo.

I have never seen anyone become agressive, hyperbolic or delusional.

[Vendome]

I don’t smoke the stuff but, have many friend who do.

They run the gammut of low end earners to private jet owner.

None...none of them are crazy and are in fact highly productive.

Also, the nicest people.

They never miss work

They are never late

And can rationally discuss a wide variety of subjects.

Legalize this crap and be done with it.
