Regular marijuana use muddles your brain more than you think: Study

You obviously don’t understand the comparison of alcohol Prohibition to pot prohibition at all. It doesn’t make other people stupid just because you can’t understand the simple concept.

Yeah of they are measuring gray matter, I’d like to see the before and after. I’m betting pot doesn’t cause smaller brains, I’m betting smaller brains are using pot.

It’s a destructive drug and I suspect we’ll see reams of medical research the next few years that will bear this out. Sorry potheads. The stuff is not good for you. OK duuuuuude!

I collect data from medical records for research, and everyone needs to know that we are told not to gather data on drug use because of HIPPA medical records privacy directives. So, once again, absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. Anecdotally I will tell you we see a large correlation between pot use and head and neck cancers, and lymphoma in patients with heavy opiate (legal and illegal) use.

What’s your point? You sound like a liberal when all you can do is call names. Alcohol prohibition and pot prohibition have similarities. That’s true. Both drugs do harm to those who use them, and the more they’re used the more harm they do. I think this is obvious.

[fr_freak]

Really? I sound like a liberal because of insults? All I see from posters like you are name-calling (the potheads, druggies, dopians, etc.) and silly strawmen that either ignore or trivialize the very real issues surrounding the War on Drugs in favor of smug self-righteousness.

There are two main arguments presented here constantly against the WoD: 1) the WoD has exceeded its Constitutional boundaries (asset forfeiture, no-knock raids, violations of states' rights, etc.), 2) the WoD has produced a mentality towhich violates the very concept of individual liberty upon which this country and its laws were supposedly based. In both cases the history of alcohol in the USA is an EXACT PARALLEL to marijuana prohibition, which is why it is constantly referred to.

Address those arguments and you might be taken seriously. Otherwise, it is just the usual inane jackassery.

Are you on dope now?

[fr_freak]

Screw you too.

[elhombrelibre]

Oh, you are using now.

[fr_freak]

Yeah, and you’re just trolling, as I suspected. Badly, too.

[right way right]

“I went on to crack.”

Hey, that’s better than Meth.

[right way right]

I have tried it recently, and can tell you that it muddles your brain just as much as you can think.

Wait....What?

[elhombrelibre]

In your pot-filled brain, I began trolling here two years before you to denounce the folly of marijuana? Is that what you’re saying between bong hits, maaaan?

[fr_freak]

Lol - this has to be the lamest attempt at trolling I've seen in a while. The funniest part is that you seem enough of a goofball to think you're actually being clever.

Heck, maybe you are actually a Freeper and not some loser nutbag who managed to log on to an old account. It wouldn't be the first time I've seen a Freeper go full retard and troll a particular thread or two, using the usual troll tells: ignoring logical points and just tossing out silly non-sequiturs and lame insults. Either way, you're still an ass. Ha

[elhombrelibre]

Your argument is with medical science, not with me. It’s not giving you the pro-pot conclusions you want. So you call me a troll instead of coming to grips with the fact that pot, like alcohol, has effects harmful to our health, which is actually a pretty common sense observation anyway. It’s your cognitive dissonance that makes you so angry.

[fr_freak]

Geez - again you miss the point entirely. Our little discussion, such as it is, started with your flippant remark about how “dopers” have some weird fixation on comparing pot to alcohol. That’s got nothing to do with medical science - it’s merely Constitutional Law and general legal principles. You’re all over the map, imagining that each of your random thoughts is pure genius that is beyond the understanding of anyone who disagrees with you. Truth is, those who support the police state via the War on Drugs, of which marijuana is its own little niche, have no rational basis for their position, which is why, as you did, they so often resort to arrogant name-calling and condescension.

[elhombrelibre]

Are you a drug user?

[fr_freak]

lol - there you go with your impressive debate skills again.

[kjam22]

They don’t call it “dope” for nothing....

[tacticalogic]

They don’t call it “dope” for nothing....

Any idea how much we're paying for them to do that?

[elhombrelibre]

Thanks. Good luck getting off of dope.
