I am against all kinds of drugs, vaping etc for health reason. So I will continue to vote against it.

My adult kids voted for it because they saw it as a vote towards racial equity. They are idiots. No one should have access to drugs.

Thank you. My adult kid is an idiot too. There's no universe in which an intoxicated populace is a good.

Before we had an intoxicated and incarcerated populace. Was that better?

Maybe both are bad?

Now we are going to have a more intoxicated populace.

They'll be pushing for shrooms next, watch.

Oh no. Shrooms. Those non-habit forming, depression relieving, no physical harm when taken for long periods, things that grow naturally. We should totally throw non-violenr people in jail over plants. It’s great for the country.

Opium also grows naturally. Is that your criteria for legalization?

Go back and read the entire sentence.

Exactly. All these liberals in name only in MD who want MJ users arrested because they don't like the smell. Horrific people, to tell you the truth.

I voted for it. I do not think weed should be criminalized, and for generations it has been used as an excuse to incarcerate black people u fairly and disproportionately.

I think that impaired driving should be illegal.

I think drug possession and use should not lead to jail time but could be handled more as a public health/mental health issue.

Marijuana use is akin to alcohol use IMHO.

Probably. But we as a nation have not conducted sufficient medical research because it's illegal (significantly, at the federal level), so there are difficulties getting funding to conduct the research. Additionally, since it has been illegal while alcohol has not, we also have decades of health information on both use and misuse. It's going to take at least a generation before we get a more accurate picture of what cannabis does to people.

Don’t need government funded research to tell us that weed makes you stupid.

Curiously, it's also linked to almost every mass shooting. Uvalde, Pulse, Stoneman Douglass, Gabby Giffords' shooter, Columbine. And more.

I would assume that research conducted in other countries would be acceptable?

You left out, "in public." You can smoke whatever you want in your home.

I thought you were going to say that having a penis is “also linked to almost every mass shooting” but then you went and surprised me.

There isn't much there past a decade, either.

Weed is NOT benign. I see that with my adult son.

is it a good time to point out that correlation and causation are not the same? because I think it's always a good time .

Did you know that line, “correlation is not causation” was coined by the tobacco industry?

Seems like a pretty relevant fact considering the present circumstance.

You are casting doubt on a bedrock principle of statistics and science by implying a link to some popular corporate villains is really just another example of how desperate some people are to persecute cannabis users.

“If you are looking only for the exact phrase, Google ngram book search records the first appearance of that phrase in its corpus in a May 17th, 1900 review of racist eugenicist Karl Pearson's The Grammar of Science titled "BIOLOGY AS AN “EXACT” SCIENCE" in Nature by one F.A.D., who writes:

As the author [Pearson] himself elsewhere points out, correlation does not imply causation, though the converse is no doubt true enough.”

But no matter what, the origin of a specific phrase is no reason to challenge the validity of a fundamental statistical principle.
