It’s very bad for you. People should not smoke pot. It’s too strong and destroys mental health.
It’s a dropout drug. It ruins your give-a-hooter.
The term “pot head” has been around since the 1960s.
Perfectly normal and intelligent folks turned into something else...
Considering the way it is inhaled into the lungs, it is far, far more damaging to the lungs than tobacco.
None of them are actually addicted to pot, because pot is not an addictive substance.
Any of them can quit anytime they want to with no problem.
I get inquiries from western states to supply techs because there are so few out there that can pass drug screening.
Companies that provide services to pharmaceutical companies have to pay for flights from eastern states, hotels, car rentals, etc. because all the western techs are stoners. Pay is $150/hr, X2 for the middleman, X2 for the service provider = $600. If it were a local tech, he’d get $75, X2 for the service provider = $150.
And it is worth it to get people with intact brains.
And some people have been taking xanex for “anxiety” for 20 plus years.
Marijuana good! Tobacco......BAD! 1984 squared.
Should make us a stronger nation, no? More productive, stronger military, increased mental health? That’s the cliche, right, pot smokers are super productive, excel in cognitive abilities? I hope the Chinese don’t legalize pot.
Wow. I never saw this coming...
History repeats. From 1670-1750 gin addiction permeated urban British society. It culled the population of many with poor dispositions. Mostly they died and birth rates among them plummeted. Today given the decadence, hedonism and widespread drug use in society, the population is again being culled. A faithful, sober remnant will be at the core of America’s rebirth.
Legalization has nothing to do with this. It’s just people are willing to talk about it. Pot was plentiful—and less expensive—before legalization.
And what companies don’t drug test? The hyperbole in the article denotes a problem that is just not being seen.
Being able to vape high potency THC has changed the use profile for a lot of users, from the stoners of decades past.
People tend to develop high tolerances quickly with vaping, like a rat in a lab, who only has to hit a button for another dose. Kind of like the boiled frog phenomena, the total daily THC dose can climb to chronic stoner levels in just a few weeks. Relatively suddenly, other things in life can just be dropped.
That doesn’t happen to most occasional users, but for those that it does, the slide into habitual heavy use is can be much quicker than it is for alcohol.
Something to watch out for, in yourself, and your loved ones.
Articles like this help "addicts" see that they have problems and that they can solve those problems.
As an aside, I have known many full-time users over the years and can testify that, though every user may not experience addiction-like usage and the problems that come with it, pot can be potentially dangerous for some people.
I have had several friends sink into deep depression and many who have wasted much time and money on pot.
That said, pot abuse, like alcohol abuse, shouldn't be a legal problem too. It is sufficiently difficult to handle as a medical/behavioral problem.
There are weed wagons now in NYC
Flavored candies and such
Many young people lined up to buy, many Black
What does the future hold for these young Blacks and
other teens buying pot candy?
Not much. Not brain surgeons for sure
