Maybe where you're from, but in my city you'd be very surprised to find out how many 30+ Y/O's smoke.

That is aside the point though, MJ isn't dangerous, and frankly people will find a way to get it. If a young adult find access to it, it should be the parents responsibility to inform them. Not the Gov's to throw them in jail.

we are talking about weed, not meth.

anything thats going to make you more tired is going to limit how much you can drink, whether it be bynadryl or oxycottn.

your liver functions at lower efficiency when you are tired, causing an incresed build up of alcohol in your system compared to the same amount of alcohol had you not taken something that induces drowsyness or been well rested.

Marijuana is not harmless.



I agree that it should be legal so long as alcohol and tobacco are legal, but let's not kid ourselves.

That's true, I guess. There have been some studies that suggest, heavy sustained long-term use from adolescence to adulthood, has a potential to exasperate the symptoms of thos with the genetic pre disposition for schizophrenia.
Although there is strong evidence that refute that claim.
No matter the outcome, there are much better ways to deter children from using, rather than letting dealers decide what age is appropriate!
I mean, for the last 10 years, children of the United States have said its easier to buy illegal drugs than it is to buy alcohol or cigarettes.

suggests....

that doesn't mean smoke it...
i was at hempfest and some hippie intellectual was saying that they developed a glycerine based carrier for THC tinctures...
this makes it more child friendly as opposed to using alcohol for a carrier like most herbal "meds" do...


the pot procured at dispensaries is just a smorgasbord of foreign matter + ~20% THC content (if you're lucky and get the above average buds).
IMO go to the doc for severe nausea and get Dronabinol or marinol so that you are getting a pure product. This way if you get called in on a urinalysis positive in thc then you could present your prescription from the pharmacy instead of your pot card..
there are people who look down on that pot card... and im pretty sure that federal law still doesn't recognize it.


lmk

federal law doesn't recognize prescription use either. any marijuana=illegal marijuana.

marinol is pharmaceutical its not sold at dispensaries.
you can only get this by going to an ACTUAL doctor in the medical field and getting a prescription..
this means that it is regulated and in exact dosages.

this is recognized by the federal government as a legit prescription.

"3.The research being presented is strictly about recreational use of marijuana cigarettes. Medical usage and other forms not considered"

I didn't say they didn't smoke, I just said the majority are highschool/university students.

And you can't say marijuana isn't dangerous, I would be you support the study that started this thread, yet are you denying the countless studies that link it to mentall illness? And the most dangerous thing about it is people do stupid things when they're on it. I've seen certain police chiefs and the like say the most common under the influence crime is pot, but it's way harder to prove that someone is high than it is to prove they've been drinking.

@everyone

and the countless times that ') deaths by pot" has been stated on signs, banners and ads...
what about accidents caused by irresponsibility after or during pot smoking sessions?
what about the trip to go get the pot or the trip to have it delivered?

if something happens during these instances are they not considered pot related deaths?




the thc intake of kids today (including U students) is greater than any doctor would prescribe if they were to prescribe marinol or dronabinol or any cannabinoid...
plus all the foreign matter that they take in when they burn up the flower buds cant be healthy at all...
