[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, it's not like we have decades of weed use to render this hysterical post completely meaningless. Sure, Sally, it's possible that you can experience psychosis, but it's not the norm. You know like people who use Tylenol can experience severe liver damage but it's not the norm and we keep using it.[/quote]

This post shows your ignorance.  Modern weed is not the equivalent to that in previous decades, and there is lots of emerging research on the impact of marijuana on mental health.  Sure, you can ignore the statistics and put yourself at risk, but unfortunately, society is paying a big cost for that risk-taking.  We have a history of alcoholism in my family and I told my kids that they needed to take that into account BEFORE starting to drink because you don't know if you will be one of the people affected until it's too late.

You know nothing about today's weed. In states where it is legal, it is regulated and safer than it was buyuing it on the street. But of course, you have an agenda against weed, so you really want to believe that it's the boogie man. Alcohol was and always will be more dangerous than weed. There is a reason that you can get a doctor to prescribe cannabis for medical issues. No one will prescribe alcohol. Also, what cost to society other than your hysteria is weed causing? [/quote]

She's not saying that weed is more dangerous than alcohol.  No one argues with you there.  What everyone except for you agrees, however, is that THC levels in weed have gotten significantly higher to the point where it a bong hit in the 1980s was like a light beer compared to a bong hit now which is like a shot of whiskey.  What everyone (except you) agrees as well is that the daily weed use is stealing the drive and mental acuity of our kids.  Is it because the THC content is substantially higher than in prior generations, causing addiction?  [/quote]
