Marijuana Use May Damage Brain Function

[Mr. Shaman]

there's nothing political about a medical study except in the funhouse mirror that passes for your mind.

Did you ever hear of medical lobbyists in Washington?

Yeah.....that's what they call themselves....medical-lobbyists.....

No shit Sherlock? I so did not know that.... except that every major study around the world says the same thing.

alcohol kills brain cells, too...

i've still never seen anyone who could explain the diff between someone having a drink at the end of the day and someone smoking some pot.... except i've never heard of potheads getting into bar fights.

nothing abused is good... including burgers and chocolate.

but we don't make everything illegal.

I've gotten into a couple of bar fights ... when I was drunk.



My drunken bar fight record is 0-2 FTR.

Chronic pot smokers beware.

A new study found that regularly smoking marijuana may lower cognitive function, especially if the person starts smoking before 16 years of age.

Study authors from Harvard-affiliated McLean Hospital wanted to examine the effects of chronic marijuana use on brain function.
In a paper presented today at the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience in San Diego, Dr. Staci Gruber, lead author of the small study, reported that study participants who began smoking pot before 16 years of age performed significantly worse on cognitive function tests than both non-smokers and those who became chronic smokers later in life.

Researchers defined chronic marijuana use as smoking pot at least five of the last seven days and a minimum of 3,000 joints in a lifetime. The average age of study participants was 22 years old. The data showed that chronic pot smokers repeated errors more often than the two other groups, even after the authors corrected them. They also had more trouble maintaining a set of rules, suggesting an inability to maintain focus.

May Damage?

Considering the bone headed responses given by potheads here to defend their weeds, there can be no doubt that the weapon that the Mexicans use against the children of the United States is working to lower the American race to their standards.

Yeah?

So what's your excuse?

see... alcohol bad.

But then again it may not.

This is just another unscientific study with few controls and too many variables. It is the typical statist reaction to the recent success of Medical Marijuana and the push to legalize it. It comes with the standard bs propaganda like this little gem

"With the lack of legalization, marijuana is getting stronger and stronger all the time,"

"We have to be clear about getting the message out that marijuana isn't really a benign substance,"

What they don't say is that it is more benign that the current governement approved recreational drugs available for use to adults.

 

[Mr. Shaman]

show me where anyone is promoting teens smoking pot. How much you wanna bet chronic teenage drinking is just as bad.
You small governemnt freaks are fucking hillarious. Not to morons, teens can get pot easier than beer because one is regulated and the other is not.
thanks for supporting the Mexican Cartels!

Don't pot smokers influence the families they live with?

Yeah.....whatta tragedy.....

I was discussing this with a friend the other night, a friend I happen to know used to smoke pot. It brought up a phenomenon I've noticed in other discussions, and never understood: the idea that I'm supposed to change or hide my negative opinion about something just because I know someone who does it (or did it).

I stated, quite clearly, that in my opinion, people who choose to smoke marijuana are not the brightest lights on the midway. My friend got all huffy and said, "Well, thanks for saying I'm stupid." I shrugged and said, "Just because I like you doesn't mean it wasn't still a dumbassed decision." He sulked for about ten minutes before changing the subject.

Does anyone out there understand why liking someone means I have to agree with everything they do and believe they're perfect?

 

[Truthmatters]

I started at like 15, maybe that's why I can't spell.

They are talking the kids who smoke all day long.

Any kid who has a home in which they can get away with smoking all day long has bigger problems than pot.

Were all gonna die. Give me a break. Give the old fart booze and stop supporting street gangs.

some people just don't have smart friends, the pot smokers I know have advanced degrees and are mostly upper middle class and rich. Most of us have friends in the same socio economic status. As if not smoking makes one smart. LOFL

Not smoking might not make one smart overall, but it sure as hell is a smarter choice in specific than smoking is.

 

[Big Fitz]

It's called dope for damn good reason.

All the hazards of smoking with all the downside of alcohol. Yeah, good choice.

And always attracts worse characters who've progressed beyond pot.
