[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pot will be legal everywhere before your kid turns 30. It's not a big deal. Quite frankly I'd rather see college boys smoke pot than drink - it tones down aggression and probably helps a really driven kid deal with stress. Don't worry about it at all! If you live in DC get yourself some and try it - you'll see that it's no big deal.[/quote]

Such an ignorant statement.  Pot fucks people up.  It alters brain chemistry, kills motivatiom and is a gateway drug to more serious addictive substances.  I have seen the devestating affects of pot firsthand on two relatives.  It is not a gentle drug not to be worried about.  It is a big deal and you are perpetuating mistruths.[/quote]

Pot can have really strong effects on someone who already struggles with depression. For otherwise healthy adults, it shouldn't be a problem.

It's hit-or-miss for anxiety IME. [/quote]

The bottom line is that you don't know what effect it will have on any one person.  You just don't know.  It may have no effect on some people and cause others to think evryone is out to get them.  [b]For someone to say that pot is harmless and not to worry about it is misguided.[/b][/quote]

This is true. But it's less harmful than alcohol. And quite possibly less harmful than sugar.

I disagree, and I smoked plenty of pot in my day.
