NYT: We Were Wrong About Marijuana

[TNHarley]

It’s not less harmful. More and more credible studies are exposing the harm caused both physically and mentally through regular use.

This idea that it’s less harmful than alcohol or almost harmless is a myth.

heart disease, liver disease, kidney disease. How many people have died from death related to those? How many people died from overconsumption?
What disease does weed create? How many have died from weed related diseases? How many people have died from overconsumption? The answer is 0.
While ropey has a point about what we know, there is no way it is "worse" than alcohol.

 

[GLASNOST]

Anything can cause huge problems if it is misused

True.

... salt, coffee, fast food

Now you're going too far. Hands off the egg McMuffin!

I am libertarian. I won't outlaw it. I will suggest that if you are dumb enough to eat anything from McDonald's, do a few other things that will help you overcome the damage you are self inflicting...


eat sushi once a week, the real fish, not the crab
have at least two, preferably three, servings of high quality vegetables per day, like kale, spinach, not ketchup
reduce your salt intake when you can, because McD's loads it on

imo

Social use is the issue since chronic overuse of almost anything often leads to poor outcomes, since the addictive personality is that issue and not one of the choice of drug/drink notwithstanding.

Science would constrain the testing procedures to socially acceptable proportions for study.

So are guns...

That would be people. A firearm is just a tool. It can't be bad or good. It's just a tool. Sort of like the plane was tool for your Muslim buddies to fly into buildings. The plane wasn't bad or evil. It was just a plane.

All taxpayer funded CO2 FRAUD "faux skeptics" still want us to believe that a 757 flew at 600 mph with its nose 8 feet off the ground....



which is why all suck at basic science, they were rejects in other science related fields and then got CHOSEN to be part of taxpayer funded CO2 FRAUD...

REPEAT THE EXPERIMENT FOR US

FLY a 757 at 600 mph with nose 8 feet above ground
FLY a motorized paraglider for us for 3 miles and land it in a predetermined target.


If you can't repeat the experiment....

Don't you worry about me and my health. Whatever I do to compensate, "mean-mouthing" Egg McMuffin ain't one of them.

.... marijuana ..... is indeed causing huge problems with many people.

So are guns but you are buying them like hot cakes and think you need even more of them. Let's see now ..... curb the availablity of weed or guns ..... what a choice.

A firearm is just a tool. It can't be bad or good. It's just a tool.

Here we go again .....

Sort of like the plane was tool for your Muslim buddies ...

Ho-hum -----

Murder by the gun is an American thing.
American + gun = murder.

Solution 1: Eliminate the gun
Solution 2: Eliminate the American
Solution 3: Keep Americans away from guns, i.e. ban guns in the US.

Never heard of anyone getting violent after smoking, unlike alcohol.

Only means you haven't looked into the issue

In 2018, there was a criminal case of a young woman who smoked a bong containing a high dose of cannabis (marijuana) provided by her new boyfriend. She was unaccustomed to smoking pot. After taking a couple of hits, she went into his kitchen and brought out a handful of knives. She began stabbing her boyfriend over 100 times. He died from his wounds.

Can Cannabis Cause Psychosis?

Most people believe that using cannabis is harmless. However, cannabis can trigger psychosis, be addictive, cause severe vomiting, and have other untoward side effects.

When did you decide to make all of your decisions based on your own absurd conclusions and stack them up one upon the other?

I didn't. I'm a complex person. I just find it odd that the British became such huge pussies. There are laws to punish gun violence. It doesn't make a lot of sense to punish law abiding citizens for the bad acts of a few.

As I was saying, "American + gun = murder". Thanks for your support.

You've misspelt the word "confused".

And now comes the absurd conclusions upon which you build all of your decisions.

Very unusual, but can hardly be compared to what happens when some people are under the influence of alcohol. I would surmise the woman has other problems. The overwhelming number of people calm down under the influence. I’ve seen plenty of of people rage out after drinking, but have never seen it with weed.

A good friend's son had a psychotic break due 100% to the weed he was smoking.

Do some research, its becoming more and more common.

Any comments?

Why would I need to comment? 99,997 people out of 100,000 people who didn't commit violent acts with firearms, aren't going to have their firearms taken from them because 3 people out of 100,000 people did. We aren't pussies like the British.
