Typical liberal scientist and media spin. Real headline should be, "Marijuana causes memory loss."

[Frumanchu]

Study results to be released tomorrow: "Despite numerous advances in biological science, human mortality rate remains steady at 100%"

you beat me to it.

now where in the hell did i put my joints and roach clip...

[RobRoy]

I don't think memory loss would be correct. I think the phrase "eases all memor..."...what was I talking about?

[WriteOn]

Makes you stupid, too.

Reduces traumatic memories, like that of a users first drug bust I guess? LOL

Come to think of it, it reduces all memories, doesn't it?

I don't know how we get pro-illegal-drug crowds here at FR.

Is this now the choice of all pushers and drug lords?

I'm just amazed how hard a few push the illegal drugs here. It seems an un-Godly vice. I don't see a conservative connection to drugs at all.

Is this being done in some bent version of a warped view of freedom? If so, how sad!

[bat-boy]

I post these articles because I get a kick out of pissing off jerk-offs like you.

This bud's for you....

[Dakmar]

Excuse me, genius, but could you explain to me what would motivate a drug pusher to want drugs to be legalized? Their entire profit is contigent on drugs being illegal. Did Al Capone ever demand that prohibition be repealed?

[Dakmar]

lol

[A CA Guy]

True, I'm not into the drug issue with as great a lust as you!

[A CA Guy]

How immature of you then I guess!

Well, enjoy yourself.

Well, I have heard the bootleggers fought against the repeal of prohibition.

[Khepera]

I was going to say something but now I forget what it was.

Memory loss is most profound in the presence of police.

"Wh . . . how'd that weed get in muh pocket?"

[Dakmar]

You apparently aren't into logic at all. See, if drugs were legal, they would be sold by legal businesses, requiring licenses, bonds, insurance, accountants, and all those things that your average crack dealer really can't comprehend. Prohibition is the only thing making their small, poorly run business profitable.

While it may seem to be an un-Godly vice to many, so is tobacco and alchohol. Funny how people want to the gummit intruding on some peoples activities but not others when basicly it's no worse an activity.

[Dakmar]

Have a few beers, you'll think of something to say.

" It's possible that the cannabinoids are important for the ability to relearn and readjust in a number of situations. "

I think this is an important find. When I first smoked weed, I was in college and it seemed to help me understand the world around me. It also helped me understand calculus. I loved doing calculus when I was stoned.

Now It makes a little more since. Weed helped me readjust to my new life away from home and to relearn mathematical theories studied but not understood in HS.

*sigh*

The pro-weed folks are at it again. It's such a pain to have to dodge the cops and go down to your local dealer to get weed, isn't it? Let's legalize it so you folks won't be pariahs any more. But then the lustre of being anti-establishment would be gone, wouldn't it?

Some people just never grow up.
