NBA players speak out on relaxing rules against marijuana use

[HereWeGoAgain]

Alcoholics say the same thing. Their best work was when they were drunk.

Or the other classic....I'm not an alcoholic,I only drink beer.

Alcoholics say the same thing. Their best work was when they were drunk.

I do remember back in the day when I was a ballboy for the Rockets and Rudy Tomjanovich smoked cigarettes and drank beer on the bench.

There are times when you just gotta stand up and cheer for drug addiction.

Nine in ten teens at drug clinics are being treated for marijuana use | Daily Mail Online

More More More, all you can stuff in to your bloated gut.

Marjuana linked to 'unbearable' sickness across US as use grows following legalisation

Who says there's nothing about pot to celebrate! It's more than just a homage to Hitler!

People are being treated for marijuana use?

Treated for what? Paranoia that the cops are going to walk into their room?

Read the article. You might learn something.

There should be NO treatment. Let them die in the streets, kill each other, jump out of windows. They are worthless drug addicts who are better off dead.

Weed and alcohol are the same...you can have a productive life while doing either or you cant.
Hell' I've smoked weed for 40 years as well as drinking yet I retired at 46.
Yet my brother went from making 150k a year to stealing every dime my Mother had due to alcohol addiction.
The monster will take you either way if you're susceptible to addiction.

.....and I wont even mention who's locker I found a coke spoon in.
Anyone that follows the NBA and the Rockets will have a pretty good guess.

My step great grandson had it all. He had a great career with a trajectory going straight up. He had a nice home, a wedding to plan. Everything was going great. Then for some reason he started using weed. Right after it was legalized. He says he's not addicted. He can stop any time he wants. He didn't stop when he lost his job, when he lost his home, when his fiancee walked out on him. He just likes it. It relaxes him. He now lives with his mother and my son. He works driving for Grubhub. He can't drive with passengers in his car. His life is over but he isn't worried. He's not addicted. He can stop any time he wants to. He just doesn't want to.

You can do better than that. Add some pizzazz to spice up the story. Maybe he robs a liquor store because the weed made him. Or maybe, and this will be juicy, maybe it makes him convert to Islam. That will really fire people up.

Yep....some can handle it and some cant.
Be it alcohol,weed or any number of drugs.
But it's up to the user to be aware of their addiction and make appropriate actions to counter them.

My brother pissed away a bright future due to alcohol,it could very well be any other drug.

Liberals and their penchant for listening to athletes and hollyweird.....I bet you take a teenagers advice on gun control...oh wait!

The column was thoughtful and provided insight as to weed and athletics in general, and whether testing positive matters.

Sorry you did not enjoy, or find it formative

Only you say that about yourself. Meanwhile the athletes have trophies and medals.

And some of the greatest literaries and musicians in history were drunks.
You want children to emulate potheads. There is a place in hell for your ilk.

I want them to do great things. If they want to smoke pot when they grow up, well, at least they’re using the safest drug in existence instead of the far more dangerous legal drugs that you support. Burn in hell, you inbred trash.

I don’t wish evil on children. You do.
Pot Fuels Surge in Drugged Driving Deaths

Of course you do. As a republican, you support slashing funding for programs that help keep youths off the street and helps them with addiction. As a republican, you support big pharma spreading opioids throughout the country. As a republican, you oppose the safest alternative to alcohol and painkillers that has ever existed.

You are again, sadly, on the wrong side of history. So no point really in further discussion.

I’m no Republican. I’m anti-democrat. Much of the opioid problem is heroin.
I’d bet $100 per opioid death that the victim started on pot. I’d be rich in short order.

You wouldn't end up with much money since damn near every single on of those opium deaths were addictions originally fueled by legally prescribed pain medications.

 

[Winston]

yea i read this in there...

A separate study — also based on FARS data — found that in states where medical marijuana was approved, traffic fatalities decrease by as much as 11 percent during the first year after legalization. Written by researchers at the University of Colorado, Oregon and Montana State University, the paper was published in 2013 in the Journal of Law & Economics.

Those authors theorized pot, for some, becomes a substitute for alcohol. They cited a recent, 13-percent drop in drunk-driving deaths in states where medical marijuana is legal.

You go ahead and rationalize intoxication and your addiction. You’re a dangerously ignorant addict.
Maybe inject a little PCP in your system against your will and we’ll call it even.

learn what an addict is dumbass....and your ignorance of pot smoking is just as bad as your girlfriends....

You are ignorant. At least I respect people who have adverse reactions to substances and foods and don’t believe I can attack them with those substances and say I know more about their own physiology than they do. That would be the height of arrogance.
Nothing worse than arrogance rooted in ignorance.
I used pot probably before you were born so don’t even...

yea you smoked pot before.....you can tell by the fucking shit you say about it....and were did i not respect those with adverse reactions?...i have been commenting on the bullshit you have been throwing up here.....and you are right,nothing worse than arrogance rooted in ignorance......like your arrogance against ill people who have had positive results by using it.....

I smoked pot between 1970 and 1975. You speak arrogantly from abject ignorance. Not a good platform.

You smoked dirt. I mean at best, perhaps it was Chiba, or Redbud--maybe some Santa Marta Gold at the end. A seeded full blown Sativa out of South America, maybe push three pecent THC, on a damn good day.

Today, it is Girl Scout Cookie, Afghan Goo, and the legendary and elusive Jack Herer. THC content sometimes pushing 25% and almost always domestically produced. Mind numbing or mind blowing, you have your choice and you can target specific medical conditions, from hypertension to any and all forms of pain.

Marijuana use linked to greater psychosis risk in teens

Essentially debunked by recent research:

Harvard: Marijuana Doesn't Cause Schizophrenia

Marijuana Risk For Psychosis Much Lower Than Previously Thought, Though Certain Patients Shouldn't Smoke

Some of the effects of some strains of marijuana mimic psychosis, but it’s a temporary effect that doesn’t persist beyond the high. True organic psychosis is rare, and scientists and physicians now believe that the link between organic psychosis and marijuana is due to those with serious mental illness (schizophrenia, etc.) using mj to self medicate - not that mj causes those illnesses.

The most current research shows that marijuana alleviates the symptoms of anxiety, depression, PTSD and other mental disorders and is a net benefit to most mental health sufferers. It is contraindicated for sufferers of serious psychotic disorders.

Current research is also being done into the remarkable curative powers of ketamine and LSD in treating PTSD among military combat veterans; it is likely that will become a standard treatment within the next couple of decades.

In the future our descendants will look back on you rabid teetotalers and consider you barbarians responsible for the suffering of millions of people - by denying them remarkable, natural, non-addictive medicines, and by incarcerating millions of people for possessing, sharing and using it.

What is it about pot advocates that make them devoid of conscience?
I don't need a study to try tell me that what pot did to me and others didn't really happen. It did, it does.
Very arrogant.

if you smoked the stuff for 5 years,whatever it did to you,is on you,because you could have quit at anytime.....

The monster will take you either way if you're susceptible to addiction.

There are more functioning people who smoke weed than there are who get drunk every day.

They really aren't the "same" - Weed is a whole bunch easier on the body.

Ever had a pot hangover? Me neither

My step great grandson had it all. He had a great career with a trajectory going straight up. He had a nice home, a wedding to plan. Everything was going great. Then for some reason he started using weed. Right after it was legalized. He says he's not addicted. He can stop any time he wants. He didn't stop when he lost his job, when he lost his home, when his fiancee walked out on him. He just likes it. It relaxes him. He now lives with his mother and my son. He works driving for Grubhub. He can't drive with passengers in his car. His life is over but he isn't worried. He's not addicted. He can stop any time he wants to. He just doesn't want to.

You can do better than that. Add some pizzazz to spice up the story. Maybe he robs a liquor store because the weed made him. Or maybe, and this will be juicy, maybe it makes him convert to Islam. That will really fire people up.

i hear ya....pot made him do all that......maybe it was his great grandmother who made him go over the cliff...

There is no arguing with addicts, no matter what the source of addiction. These are black guys whose addictions are meaningless. Let them take drugs, blame head injuries for their disintegration, and fade away to the graveyard.

Not buying this ^ tall tale Tips. There is something more going on with your step great grandson than just smoking pot.

Cut it with the horror stories - and know what you're talking about prior to posting.

You know, I was a Drug and Alcohol Program Advisor (DAPA) the last 8 years of my military career. What Tipsy is describing is more indicative of someone with an alcohol problem, and not marijuana.
