There was a movie called “Reefer Madness”. All my contemporaries laughed at it.
The Swiss and Swedish government did decade long studies of teenagers and who smoked pot and what happened to them as adults.
600% chance of developing schizophrenia as an adult.

Yes, our government reserves the right to protect the health and welfare of its citizens. What they can’t protect you from is your own stupidity.
My my SD..aren’t we a little bootlicker...
George Washington was growing hemp at Mount Vernon three years
later—presumably for its fiber, though it has been argued that
Washington was also concerned to increase the medicinal or
intoxicating potency of his marijuana plants.*
The asterisk footnote:
* The argument depends on a curious tradition, which may
or may not be sound, that the quality or quantity of marijuana
resin (hashish) is enhanced if the male and female plants are
separated *before* the females are pollinated. There can be no
doubt that Washington separated the males and the females. Two
entries in his diary supply the evidence:
May 12-13 1765: “Sowed Hemp at Muddy hole by Swamp.”
August 7, 1765: “—began to separate (sic) the Male from
the Female Hemp at Do—rather too late.”

Free Men don’t have to deal with this $%it...
Government does not have rights. Only people have rights and being stupid is one of them.
So every teenager who smoked pot got six cases of schizophrenia as an adult?
Fascinating science.
When I was a youth I smoked pot and nothing happened to me.... yes it did... no it did not... yes it did... they really are out to get me....
now, point out to me where in the constitution the federal government is specifically granted the power over any of the things I listed, including the war on drugs..
I do not want your opinion, just the facts.. and remember, any powers not SPECIFICALLY granted to the federal government are reserved by the states and the people respectively..
That's the kind of statement that reveals more about the person making it than the subject they're talking about.
