Government encourages smoking pot, drinking, homosexuality, illegal immigration.....

crazy world we live in...

Isn’t ‘deceived and alienated’ a hallmark of the relationship between republicans and many of their politicians?

[ScottinVA]

Why would being deceived and alienated matter? They got their pot... all is right in their world.

Couch locked all day pot users have what I always thought of as an instant negative response syndrome

Kind of like post menopausal wives

Shrinks call it oppositional disorder

Amotivational disorder and tedious narcissism too

Minor personality disorders associated with folks who stay intoxicated on marihuana

That and procrastination syndrome which is part of amotivationalism

It doesn’t happen to everyone though

Me for example from age 14-27

Nothing could stifle me but it could some

I smoked all day every day but I have a close immediate family member couch locked stoned all day everyday watching life happen

Dude, they stink. Smoking pot smells worse than cigarettes.

[Axenolith]

Because they’re out to get you of course.

[Crucial]

That’s what happens when you smile so much weed your mind can’t keep up with the unimpaired around you.

But really, people turn to pot as an escape from the problems and many people are walking piles of problems sometimes. Some are definitely born with mental impairments.

Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you’re always afraid
You step out of line, the man come and take you away…

One pot-smoking relative of mine suffered from extreme paranoia and depression, and committed suicide.

Another, from delusions and paranoia, and has withdrawn from nearly every social relationship, including close family.

But I wonder if mentally ill and troubled people who seek out marijuana are attempting self-medication and get harmful effects that outweigh the beneficial - there are dozens of psychoactive substances in cannabis - THC seems to cause the high and also anxiety and psychosis, CBD to cause the mellowness and calm.

More likely they will just stare at their fishtank til they make the 2AM run to Dublin Donuts. :-)

here in Washington state where my fellow citizens are blowing their minds up daily they came out with a study that showed that meth use has actually gone up....

hmmmmm......

I thought pot was going to solve all these problems....
