No kidding. If they can’t handle a difference of opinion, they clearly can’t deal with anything.

One cannot have a logical conversation with a pothead.

I grew up in a place where marijuana use was wide spread and accepted. The police basically ignored it for my entire life. I have tons of friends and relatives who have been long time users. Since it was legalized in this state usage has gone way up and the problems users have caused for people like myself who worked in public safety and emergency medical treatment have increased greatly.

But it is not just young people that have difficulties caused by marijuana. The older people that I know who have been longtime users typically have predictable and sometimes severe issues that cause them great difficulties. Marijuana is a scourge on society largely because the issues that it causes are glossed over by propponents.

Plenty of people drink alcohol and it doesn’t ruin their lives.
But some folks can’t handle it at all and it messes them up.

Why should cannabis be any different?
Lots of folks strongly insist that it’s harmless. And maybe it is for most people.
But some people seem to react badly to it.

“Reefer Madness” is treated like a joke, but it probably pays to educate people that if you’re smoking this stuff and things are getting weird, or your life is going downhill, then maybe — just maybe — you’re one of the people who shouldn’t use the stuff.

But I’m afraid the current culture treats such caution as some sort of prim, puritanical ignorance.

Can’t be. FR’s own lunatic libertarians (open borders; freedom to be a fag; legalized prostitution; vending machine narcotics; open borders; freedom to murder the unborn) assure us it’s a harmless drug.

It also seems to me, that it may depend on the type of Pot, not all Pot is the same. Or, so I’m told.

Long ago and far away it was 1967, I was 16, and you could get a bag of Mexican ditch weed for $15 an “ounce”. Smoke two joints and it’d feel like you had a couple of beers and it was FUN. Fast forward 10 years to age 26 and it had been hybridized and amplified to “Maui Wowie” and other “brands” for about $150 an “ounce”. Two puffs and you were catatonic for 3 hours. NO FUN. I quit. That’s the stuff that people are smoking these days. No wonder they’re getting psychosis!

But its OK now because its legal some places and the government can tax the hell out of it.

I see marijuana psychos walking around every day. Marijuana causes brain damage, psychosis and schizophrenia.

Lovely FUD.

Been using cannabis every day since February 2015.

Every aspect of my life has been immensely improved since.
After being unable to work due to depression with psychotic features & severe anxiety for 10+ years it’s a blessing to be symptom free & working 2 jobs.

THC content of marijuana grown for commercial use today is about 30 times what it was 40 years ago when the templates for most attitudes were being formed.

It is far more addictive than ever before, and the effect on the immature brain (under about 25 years old) is damaging. I know there will be the usual ignoramuses here spouting their drivel, but the facts need to faced.

Tisk, tisk. Tis but a harmless little weed. Just for fun and medicinal purposes. No harm can come of it.

The babies who bathed in high levels of thc in the womb should be hitting school in CO. In 30 years, have never seen such high levels and we only test a tiny percent of them.
However, i do have to wonder about the chicken and egg.. whatever drove them to smoke at addictive levels could be the real source of the problem.

Not surprising. Cannabis is a neurotoxin that is especially harmful to immature brains. Read the scholarly research. There's no shortage of it:

Legalizing Marijuana is a Terrible Idea

Or don't and just believe the propaganda put out there by the pot-pushers.
