Or did the studies put the cart before the horse. In that those studied were already at an increased risk before the Marijuana use and were self medicating.
All of the Psychologists or Psychiatrist, I have ever been around were Psychotics trying to find out what is wrong with themselves including my own brother with a Psychology degree.
Hard to distinguish that from the goals achieved by the right.
That won’t do it for me. Cigarette smokers rarely babble incoherently. LOL

Smoking marijuana is much like smoking cigarettes... when the damage shows up its too late and for some people it causes no damage and others its a death sentence.
My Grandparents both smoked Chesterfields’ 3 to 4 packs a day... one went to 93 without an issue, the other lived in hell on earth with chronic Emphysema then congestive heart failure done at 64.
Your mileage may vary.
Personal friend from childhood smoked marijuana from age 16 till 44.. got lost driving to work in the town he grew up in.age 44... was put on Alzheimer’s medication, lost driver’s license while on those meds, recovered from it and no longer smokes marijuana
The author is literally a NY Times fiction writer.
I have a family member that everyone knows smokes. He’s an absolute idiot most times. My kids think he’s funny. I told them they are not to grow up and be like him.
That was great.
One drink does not make one drunk.
One smoke does make one stupid.
Have there been any studies on what the use of marijuana by pregnant females has on the brains of their developing embryos?
The drunk driver blows past a stop sign. The stoned driver sits there waiting for it to turn green.
Just curious - have they also looked into whether these propensities may be there before and may be a reason why one ends up indulging regularly?
Or are they just assuming the pot causes them and the issues weren’t germane to the high use of pot....
Not saying they’re wrong, just saying the study ain’t necessarily 100% valid.
I believe this. My parents often say the same. My generation however...it's much harder to tell. Too many dead brains, and they can't all be caused by serious mj use.
My ex got way into weed after we broke up, and first he got paranoid. Then after a couple years he became convinced that the ghost of Gandhi was coming to his room at night to talk about the end of the world in 2012.
And I resent their presence. They have nothing to offer and if an original thought ever crossed their vacuous minds, it'd be the shortest trip on the planet.
They have no credibility and no forum because libertarianism is stupid. It only appeals to addicts. Addicts applaud anything that enables their addiction.
But they're here. On a conservative forum. Go figure.
No, it most certainly is not!
LOL! My favorite pothead joke.
“Whereas, alcohol makes them clever?”
The negatives associated with alcohol do not make marijuana safe.
Human beings have always had a tendency to take things that destroy them.
