[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I voted against it.

Pot makes you dumb. A little pot makes you a little dumb, and a lot of pot makes you really dumb.

It’s not in our interest as a society to be even further dumbed down. [/quote]

Alcohol does the same thing, but it’s a heck of a lot more addictive. [/quote]

DP - alcohol doesn’t increase risk for psychosis.  It doesn’t produce smoke that’s harmful for those around the person smoking weed.[/quote]

Are you really arguing alcohol is less harmful than weed?[/quote]

No, I’m not.  I’m arguing that weed isn’t harmless, as a shocking amount of educated people seem to think.

As to the psychosis issue: I should have been more specific.  Cannabis use in adolescence specifically increases risk for psychosis and schizophrenia.  Alcohol might increase that risk slightly, but not nearly as much as cannabis.

But again, the real problem is that people think cannabis is NBD.  It IS a big deal.  It’s NOT okay to smoke weed during pregnancy, or give it to your teenagers, or smoke it regularly around your kids.[/quote]

NO ONE is suggesting weed for minors or pregnant women. Obviously. 🙄[/quote]
Juul wasn’t supposed to be sold to minors either and yet…[/quote]
