That is strange; I must have made a mistake while making the link in html.
The website I was trying to link is www.pubmed.gov, which, when you use that address to go to the site, actually takes you to https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/. Since it is easiest to just type "www.pubmed.gov", that is the address I usually link.
PubMed is the primary medical research database used in the world (I'm testing if it links correctly here). It contains citations and abstracts for most quality medical research that occurs worldwide. If you want to know the status of the medical research on *any* topic, PubMed is the primary source that researchers (such as myself) use. It is also open to the public, although some journals are behind pay walls.
Your 2nd link merely states what anyone with a lick of sense knows: Smoking ANYTHING while pregnant is a bad idea.
The article linked specifically says that pregnant women perceive that it is perfectly safe to use marijuana. No doubt, they have this belief because of years of propaganda from NORML. We are about to see a wave of marijuana babies, to join the cocaine babies, alcohol babies, etc., that we already have.
Your 3rd link ... In reality this article says there needs to be more research.
*Every* article will state that more research is needed.
I pointed out that this article is behind a paywall, meaning that I could not read it to see what it actually says about cardiac damage. And the abstract quite clearly states that there is some evidence that marijuana causes cardiac damage/adverse events.
Your 4th link says what we’ve known for a long time: Kids shouldn’t use cannabis. Nothing new there.
Kids are using marijuana at alarming levels. Plus, kids have a sense of being invulnerable, which only makes them more likely to experiment with the stuff. Making it "legal" only leads to more of that use. Furthermore, in terms of brain development, they remain kids until about age 25--legal adulthood, but still susceptible to certain kinds of the brain damage that marijuana causes.
Your 5th try at the apple is hilarious. Of course people with thought disorders will behave badly if given cannabis.
Look at the abstract again: it says that it is difficult to determine whether marijuana is the cause of those disorders, or if those disorders make it more likely for people to use marijuana. There is some research that shows that marijuana actually precipitates psychotic disorders.
It would be great if Fedzilla pulled it’s head out of the sand and allowed real unbiased research on the subject.
I'm not certain what you think I've been linking here. This *is* the actual research on the subject, published by real medical researchers. The fact that it does not align with NORML propaganda does not invalidate it.
On the contrary, kids were reporting for years before marijuana was legal in any state that they could get marijuana more easily than (legal for adults) beer or cigarettes.
“We are about to see a wave of marijuana babies, to join the cocaine babies, alcohol babies, etc., that we already have.”
Wow, do you tell fortunes regularly or just in cannabis threads?
“Kids are using marijuana at alarming levels”
Again, that’s nothing new since kids shouldn’t be using alcohol or cannabis or tobacco, etc. Any use by kids is alarming. I give you an “h” for hysterical.
“There is some research that shows that marijuana actually precipitates psychotic disorders.”
Until you actually have evidence of any thing of the sort you’re just making stuff up again.
“The fact that it does not align with NORML propaganda does not invalidate it. “
Loving the logical fallacy. Only person talking about NORML is you lololol. You might want to stick your head out of your prohibitionist box. 74% of voters here in Florida decided medical marijuana should be legal. Do you honestly think all of them were either NORML members or just drinking NORML’s Kool-aid?
Truly hilarious.
