Casual marijuana use may damage your brain

Yeah Paprika, MJ makes you smarter. Let's go with that

At least he is willing to share



Some times too willing



Roll over? Don't you mean roll another one

And I didn't like pot or smoke it except very very occasionally

That's okay. I think I smoked your share too.

And unless it was grown hydroponically in your basement chances are it is also covered in pesticides which can also be inhaled as you burn and inhale it. Anyone who thinks that smoking it is completely harmless is only fooling themselves. Still, having said that I believe arresting someone and locking them up for it is far worse.

And even far WORSER, I think, is the mandatory sentencing for just slightly over the "get a desk ticket citation" for it, and the "third strike you're out" legislation.

Actually in Denver there are plenty of total organic places, it is required here for the retail establishments to grow their own. You can tour their grow houses.

And btw, smoking is on the downswing, people here are getting into vaping and love, love, love their edibles.... Edibles are HUGE here both medicinally and recreationally.

I remember an episode of "Barney Miller", where Wojo's girlfriend brought brownies to the Precinct, and Detective Fish (played by Abe Vigoda) was able to chase a crook, leap from one building to another, and be in a really good mood.

Season 3, Episode 11: Hash
30 December 1976
Everyone on the squad except Barney is stoned by hashish-laced brownies made by Wojo's new girlfriend.

Precisely. I still chuckle walking down the road and seeing the green cross signs.

Nearly all research on the effects of marijuana have been on when it is smoked. Considering that it enters the body through a different means when eaten (digestion system rather than respiratory system), I wonder if the effect is different. I don't mean the intoxication but rather long term effects.

You sir have common sense. Something lacking in those who jumped on this. My BS detector immediately went off with this "study" and nearly all it's faults would have been jumped on by nearly everyone in this thread if it dealt with something like, oh, proving a gay gene.

EVERY study has flaws. But putting the word study in quotes is no way to debate its merits. And this is not the only study that links the two either.

[Bill the Cat]

I would like to point out that oh, the young people who smoked weed also drank.... Drinking is so good for the young brain.

A modified tu quoque isn't either...

I'm curious to know: what do you think of my comments about the study?
