"Long-term use of cannabis or medication derived from the drug impairs memory, conclude researchers"

Exactly it is why the far left wants cannabis unregulated along with voting, but they are ok with everything else being regulated to death..
If it gets legalized, it will be regulated.
:poke:
 
Some leftists here must be smokin' a lot because they always seem to forget the subject of the thread and end up derailing it especially when it concerns their TDS.
 
The reason it was made illegal in the first place was to protect the cotton barons from competition from hemp.
They were able to sell the idea it was a black vice, and, in the Jim Crow era, criminalizing hemp was easy to do.
 
Well all I can say to that is....wait what was I going to say?...oh yeah...if it is made legal ummmmm wait where was I? oh shit never mind....

And you see the far left religious dogma not connected to reality..

But then again what do expect from one where the long term effects on Cannabis will do zero damage..
 
Well of course lighting a plant on fire and inhaling the smoke into your lungs which then has an adverse affect on your brain isn't healthy. That would be painfully obvious despite the "safe" claims from users and whatever BS documents they can come up with.

The Great Debate: Alcohol vs Marijuana
Overdose
In most cases, drinking alcohol is not life-threatening. However, when people consume too much alcohol, it can be fatal. The CDC reports that nearly 88,000 alcohol-related deaths occur each year. And binge drinking accounted for about half of these deaths.
In comparison, the number of deaths caused by marijuana is almost zero. A study found that a fatal dose of TCH, the potent chemical in marijuana, would be between 15 and 70 grams. To give you an idea of how much marijuana that is, consider that a typical joint contains about half a gram of marijuana. That means that you would have to smoke between 238 and 1,113 joints in a day to overdose on marijuana. That’s a lot of joints.

Crime Rates
When it comes to what substance will put someone at risk for getting hurt or hurting others, alcohol is considered to cause the most harm.
A study on marijuana use and intimate partner violence found that couples who used marijuana had lower rates of intimate partner violence in the first 9 years of marriage. In fact, men who used marijuana were the least likely to commit an act of intimate partner violence against a spouse.
Driving
Driving stoned is considerably safer than driving drunk, but it is still dangerous.
Besides alcohol, marijuana is the most commonly detected drug in drivers involved in car accidents. One study found that marijuana increased the odds of being in car accident by 83%.
You may think that 83% is high, but when alcohol was involved, the odds of being in a car accident increased more than 2,200%!
When both alcohol and drugs were in the system, the risk of having a fatal car accident is especially high.
What’s the takeaway here? It’s never a good idea to drive under the influence of drugs or alcohol, but especially both.

Enough said.

No culture that so encourages alcohol consumption can be taken seriously when it prohibits marijuana.
