[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I smoked pot almost every day when I was attending an MCPS high school 30 years ago. This is not new. [/quote]

[b]The pot of today is different - stronger[/b] and mixed with chemicals in a different delivery method.[/quote]

DP. That's what they said 30 years ago  too, when I was in high school (not in MCPS, and I never smoked pot).[/quote]

So the rise in psychosis among adolescents is just made up?

I don't know what to tell you. They actually did say this. They have been saying "The pot of today is different - stronger" since at least the 1970s.[/quote]

So you're not going to engage with facts or data. Just keep repeating, "They used to say this in the past" as a means of dismissing concerns about the issue, among real people today?[/quote]

Why aren't you engaging with the fact that people have been saying ""The pot of today is different - stronger" since at least the 1970s? Was it not true then, but it's true now?[/quote]

[b]Because why does it matter?[/b] A reasonable hypothesis is that it was not true then but it is now. I'm pointing you to recent studies and journalism on the topic. That to me is more important and relevant.[/quote]

If Chicken Little has been saying "The sky is falling!" for 50 years, people are unlikely to believe that the sky actually is falling now. Or, alternatively, if the boy has been crying WOLF for 50 years, people are unlikely to believe that there actually is a wolf now.[/quote]
