PS no, I don't smoke pot. I'm just tired of seeing your weekly hysteria.

This study is invalid.

Sex differences in cannabis effects on brain volume and cognition were also observed.

It’s not the weed.”
If we get universal healthcare someday (which I would like) is that what we should be paying for? People have to take care of themselves at some point.

Hasn't this been discussed ad nauseam already?

I don’t know, has it? I just wish I could say “you’re doing this to yourself and there are people with actual emergencies who need us.” These are 22 year olds coming in twice a week for their vomiting problem!

You are more than welcome to say that. That wasn't your question though. You want the insurance to not pay for their treatment which is a slippery slope. Should you treat an obese man who comes in with a heart attack or a stroke? After all, it was probably caused by his obesity. Should we be giving insulin to diabetics who could get off with better eating and losing weight?

You really want me to answer that?
My own father is on dialysis and wants me to donate my kidney while he continues to eat potato chips and anything else he wants. “I can’t help it if I have a craving.”
I can tell you right now that money is everything to my dad and if there were some sort of financial incentive, he would never have gotten obese in the first place.

I can't tell what you mean. You're all over the place and can't keep your thoughts coherent. You don't want your father to get dialysis? Or you want insurance to pay him to stop eating chips?

How does that make it invalid?

The U.S. cannabis industry is projected to reach nearly $47 billion in 2026, with significant growth expected due to increasing legalization and consumer acceptance. The market is also anticipated to continue expanding, potentially reaching $428.22 billion by 2032.

The industry invests heavily in lobbying state and federal legislators.

American youth are experiencing an epidemic of anxiety.

Marijuana use by youth has exponentially increased.

Doubt this is a mere coincidence.

The reefer madness is getting weird around here. Are they the same posters obsessively posting about alcohol?

Now they’ll just post angrily and call me a stoner/drunk (I hate how weed makes me feel and I have one drink a month)

Keep telling yourself that instead of addressing the actual reasons. The vast majority of teens are not using weed or vaping.

I know. It's pure lunacy.

I don't want my taxes paying for these fools.

The brains of men and women are the same.

There is a major problem with a country who almost got rid of the cigarettes smoker problems then legalizes marijuana instead. You can't make up this level of insanity.

Now it's a huge problem.

Oh dear. Is it even worth trying to have a discussion based on facts with you?
