Weed Makes You Crazy and Gives You Heart Disease. Why’s It Legal?
New York Post ^ | Sep. 29, 2023

Posted on 09/29/2023 4:08:28 PM PDT by nickcarraway

The evidence for keeping weed illegal keeps mounting — even as the laws get looser. A new, peer-reviewed study (on a significant data set of nearly 60,000 Canadians) has shown that adults who misuse pot have a 60% higher risk of experiencing their first heart attack, stroke, or other major cardiovascular event.

In other words: Weed’s not a harmless vice. It’s a killer, like cigarettes. And unlike cigarettes, it literally drives people insane.

A massive Danish study based on nearly 7 million health records drew a strong correlation between heavy cannabis use and increased risk of schizophrenia in young men.

That’s to say nothing of the fact that pot, no matter what its advocates claim, likely serves as a gateway drug: Evidence suggests a link between cannabis use in kids and later opioid use, and the drug can play a role in rewiring the reward circuitry in young brains.

Almost all gang-bangers are smoking Weed. If someone’s an azzhole, being intoxicated on anything makes them a bigger one. The problem with Weed is that people use it all day. If it is Indica, they may decide to not work

They’re not intentionally funny. They’re Ed Wood funny.

They were all about moral depravity. The “lessons” of those movies were a lie to get around Hays. Then of course in the long term they became favorite movies to watch stoned.

Oh I know all about it. I had a California bf who played lead guitar and was as liberal as can be. We got stoned together for years. He thought them a riot, I found them tiresome.

You know that old song, ‘She was French champagne, I was beer...’ that was us alright. He was Mother Jones, I was Mad Magazine’. His friends were all liberals. I did not know I was a conservative till years later.

Funny is subjective. For me things like Get Smart is funny.

“Almost all gang-bangers are smoking Weed.”

But none of them drink?

“The problem with Weed is that people use it all day.”

Some do, some don’t - as with alcohol

“If it is Indica, they may decide to not work”

If it’s booze, they may decide to not work.

So, making claims you won’t support - as always. Your lazy windbaggery never fails to amuse.

“alcohol not involved.”

False:

“The Cleveland gunman is one of at least 30 mass shooters since 1966 who have had problems with alcohol misuse, according to The Violence Project, a nonprofit that tracks a narrowly defined subset of mass gun attacks: those that occur in public places, take four or more lives, and have no connection to any underlying criminal activity.

“Alcohol is implicated in everyday shootings, too. An estimated one in three gun homicide perpetrators drank heavily before killing their victims, according to a recent report from Johns Hopkins”

Unlike you, I did read my FBI link: 10% alcohol abuse, 13% drug abuse.

Why do you continue to embarrass yourself?

60% of Americans are either obese or close to it. All that fat causes strokes, heart attacks, diabetes…. I propose a BMI tax or a body fat percentage tax. Fatties are just a big a problem as alcohol, weed, …. More than anything we need a politician tax. Any political position mus purchase an annual tax stamp. 10K for local, 50K for state and 150K for federal office holders. You know for the chillens.
