And doper refuse to admit there is any downside to mj legalization.
What you posted is factual and even I as a layman have done enough research to have seen all of that and more in my readings.
Thank you.
One of the worst aspects of drug addiction is that the drugs destroy the parts of the brain that are responsible for impulse control/self-control. So they seek the elusive feelings of euphoria and cannot “just say no.” Your story about your friend’s daughter illustrates that.
One of my coworkers told me that when he was a boy, his father worked at a rehab clinic, and he went often to help out. One of the clinic workers was a former addict who was clean for twenty years. Then one day, when my coworker went to help at the clinic, that worker was gone. He found out that the clinic worker had relapsed, after 20 years, and ODed. This event was what inspired my coworker to become a scientist.
Addiction does not go away and is very difficult to treat because it damages the brain in ways that cement the addicted behavior.
