Wait ... what?
Doctors orders-cheaper than a new lung.
Long term pot smoking results in mental illness. Who’d a thunk it?
“....problems including depressing and anxiety from their cannabis addictions.”
Does this mean the “well ...alcohol is worse than pot.” argument has folded like a cheap beach chair?
“The most recent statistics, from 2020-21, revealed 3,279 cases.”
most recent stats are there are more than 600,000 alcoholics in the UK. This seems like a tiny number in contrast.
here...
Over 55s “grew up in quite a permissive culture with a lack of harm awareness of substances?” Just wait....
“Over 55s “grew up in quite a permissive culture with a lack of harm awareness of substances?””
Quite true.
Horse harkey
That’s the way it works. There is no chemical you can put into your body to change the way you feel that doesn’t have negative consequences.
Gee, what a surprise.
They have always been lunatics. Smoking pot is simply something that lunatics tend to do. Why, because they are lunatics. For further information, refer to the members of the Biden Administration.
BS.
Not so sure about the ‘lack of harm awareness.” How about lack of accepting what they were being taught. In the 70s many high school health classes covered all the dangers of street drugs. The cool kids smoked and some popped pills, and there was a lot of pressure to “give it a try”. When you are young, you are immortal, invincible and smarter than everyone else.
Drugs may overload your serotonin so it might stop working. Have some magnesium and St. John’s Wort to get that going again.
Pot was everywhere in the 60’s
Just about everybody smoked it
Then we all grew up
And our jobs had drug testing
So we didn’t smoke it
Then we all retired
I will take a toke now and again if someone has some
But it ain’t the same pot as it was back then
So the forgetfulness and brain fog are permanent.
All of the FR potheads are going to start flaming away on this thread.
