I hear the movie Refer Madness is playing again.

What a lot of nonsense that it causes any lasting problems. Millions of people out there are living proof that is bunk.

For adult use you’re right, for adolescent use you’re not.

Depends when they start using...

One thing that I have always wondered about: if you have never smoked it before, it may take a couple or more times smoking it to have an affect and get the high. And forever after this acclimation, the user can feel the affect and the high. Even years later.

Non-medical conclusion: it changes your brain chemistry permanently.

Its true.... And this sensitization is permanent. That means that using forever changes your brain chemistry to be receptive to THC.

...

But those beginner's mistakes don't necessarily account for everything. Some experts also think there's a “sensitization period” during which you won't feel high. That's because THC, the psychoactive compound in cannabis, can cause your brain to increase its amount of cannabinoid receptors. You'll have to wait for your body to create enough receptors in order to feel high, which might take a couple of tries.

Sorry, but this is a cutting edge medical study. Other medical studies recently done show the link between heavy cannabis consumption, schizophrenia, and violence.

Yes... violence. Not because they are stoned, but because of the suppression of the prefrontal lobes of the brain.

Interesting enough, the recent advances in brain studies show the suppression of the brain core with just one dosage of psyllium that lasts over a year. While useful for treating some forms of depression it does cause personality changes.

Due to a misspent youth I am quite familiar with the effects of these drugs on people, if you have spent much time with a schroomer, you may have noticed their increasing loss of connection with reality or simple cognitive discernment.

Isn’t it interesting that the Government now is trying to sell this to the citizenry, one would think they do not have our best interests at heart.

Statements like this are what the younger people are pointing to as evidence that pot does no harm.

You must be proud.

You can look at American culture and society today and THINK that it has nothing to do with drug use? Drug use is a sacrament of the left. It's why we live in a depraved culture that is increasingly becoming more easily manipulated and led by leftist propaganda.

You couldn’t be more wrong. Marijuana may offer some pleasure to its users but physicians have been well aware of its detrimental neuropsychiatric and other bad physiological outcomes including diminished spermatogenesis. Use it if you like but at least be aware of the downside especially to adolescents.
