Like...totally dude...I think smoking pot for the last 30 years has made me more conservative in my outlook...
Just another BS study...
Look...crazy people all drink water....therefore drinking water makes you crazy...
Bleh....
Correlation does not equal causality...
LOL! Exactly! Just like I keep telling my boss about our corporate office folks, "There's got to be something in the water up there". Although, they're not crazy, just totally incompetant.
"Correlation does not equal causality..."Truly, the standards for scientific research have fallen so far for something like this to be published. I would be embarrassed to publish as pathetic an article as this. It is comparable to the AGW studies . . . I think it, therefore it is.
Like Yogi Berra would say, it's Reefer Madness all over again.
The only reason I have the Libertarian “bent” that pot should be legalized is this:
I spent an entire summer working on a Master Gardener project in “the projects.” When it finally hits you, that the only people in these impoverished areas who seem well off are the F*CKING DRUG DEALERS, you change your tune. This is not unlike the Mafia (and I’m full blooded Italian, btw) that used to pin money on the statue of the Virgin Mary during the Feast of the Assumption.
It is a dangerous tragedy when in certain neighborhoods of this country, that the only people with money and able to give charity are the DRUG DEALERS. This is a complete replication of Prohibition. And these bastards use this lure to grab youngsters to do their bidding.
Just as the end of Prohibition ended their murderous and profitable reign, we need to end the criminalization of pot. Which, btw, I tried one time (about a hundred years ago during a Super Bowl party). I fell asleep afterwards and missed the outcome of the game. Getting high? Really? Somehow, the smell of an Egyptian’s sandal in the middle of July would have been like Chanel No. 5 compared to that “fragrance.”
Over the coming years, as the biological effects of marijuana and the mechanisms of mental disorders are better understood, the case against marijuana will get stronger and stronger. Mercifully, we can also hope that therapies will be developed that help treat mental disorders caused by marijuana use.
