How long and how often did you smoke cannabis?

Then shut up your delusional ravings.

[sport]

At what point will the tide turn and the very real damage caused by this drug be widely recognized and admitted?

It won't. The Government and the Powers That Be wants stoned zombies who will do as they are told without asking questions. They want zombies who had fried their brains with drugs.

[higgmeister]

I don't know much beyond they put the blame on smoking tons of weed.

All I'm saying is that if someone smoked tons of weed, then they dropped acid and used any number of other illicit pharmaceuticals.

Hint: that's why they called cannabis a gateway drug.

Another hint: it wasn't the cannabis that jacked their brains.

[irishjuggler]

Never.

And the truth hurts, chief. You should check out Alex Berenson’s writings on the subject. He was right about covid. And he was right about weed.

They’ll tell you that my neighbor was always mentally ill

It's like saying someone who broke an ankle falling into a pit is predisposed to fracture just because not everybody will suffer one.

[Irenic]

Probably not.

“Nothing was said to deny it may happen in the future.”

Which proves what, now?

[ifinnegan]

Yes. Climate change for sure.

[Right Wing Vegan]

Which proves what, now?

Exactly. There was nothing about that person's anecdote which indicated much about alcohol. (Nor even much about weed, in that particular case).

“There was nothing about that person’s anecdote which indicated much about alcohol. (Nor even much about weed”

That’s my point: it was posted in a weed thread, though no more relevant to weed than to alcohol.

[higgmeister]

I am too disinterested to reply right now. Maybe later. This is one of those things where you have to have lived it to understand it. I know you would rather stay clueless than to listen to the voice of experience.

[Right Wing Vegan]

Not exactly. You referred to alcohol with a quote and then said sarcastically “But it’s the weed that’s the problem.”

[NobleFree]

Your misinterpretation is not my problem. Cheers!

[NobleFree]

From your link:

“I found many, many cases where the causation appeared clear. In some cases it was as simple and obvious as, this person—with no history of violence—smoked, became psychotic, and committed a homicide.”

No, that’s not how causation is determined.

[irishjuggler]

Believe whatever fairy tales you want about the harmlessness of your favorite drugs, but the weed crowd’s arguments now mirror the tobacco industry’s arguments in the 1950s concerning cigarette-smoking and lung cancer. “Correlation isn’t causation.” “Most smokers don’t have/get lung cancer.” “Other confounding factors are at play.” Blah, blah, blah. It’ll likely take lawsuits to ultimately change the narrative, but it will happen eventually.

[Right Wing Vegan]

Your misinterpretation is not my problem. Cheers!

Then your faulty writing is not mine.

[NobleFree]

“Believe whatever fairy tales you want about the harmlessness”

Beat that straw man.

[NobleFree]

“your faulty writing”

ROTFL!

[Right Wing Vegan]

What are you laughing at, pot pixie?

You referred to alcohol with a quote and then said sarcastically “But it’s the weed that’s the problem," and later tried to say it meant that neither marijuana nor alcohol was a problem.

[Right Wing Vegan]

Just like writing “Cheers!” and yet coming back, you’re full of contradictions.
