Pot alters brain development? Who knew?

I've smoked pot off and on for 20+ years and know many, many people with advanced degrees and high-paying jobs that do it.
Losers smoke pot but smoking pot doesn't turn you into a brain-dead moron. Bad science is bad science. |

A lot of the tendencies found in the study are 100% true with the people I know that smoke, but the issues were probably caused by shitty parenting and a poor template. |

The "we haven't studied it" argument is BS. |

The point I was raising is only that that the zeitgeist seems to be that pot is good for everything and everyone, which is not the case. And I find it strange that many of the same people who emote about smoking in every way, from not wanting to smell it to the cost to all our health care, don't seem to have any issues with inhaling caricinogenic smoke from this source into your lungs. There are even studies out there that would tell you that marijuana smoke contains more carcinogens than tobacco smoke. The debate seems to have moved from one realm of nonsense to another, from the irrationally bad to the irrationally good. |
I'm chiefing right now - in about an hour I'll be hitting CFO's over the head and taking their money.

To those bitching about Marijuana:
Do you use alcohol? If so, SHUT THE **** UP. |

A study came out last year that showed you can get a pretty heavy dose of pesticides from smoking pot. If there really are brain abnormalities, I wonder if they could be caused by the pesticides and not the pot itself? You would have to test and control for that, too, to know for sure.

I don't care personally. I have no interest in drugs any longer, and I'd like it if people could do however many drugs they want so long as it didn't impact anyone else. But in reality, we're moving ever more toward a welfare state and so in practice it will affect everyone else. I'm not for or against it really, but pot advocates often oversell it as some sort of a miracle tonic that cures what ails you, and I don't think that's any different from Reefer Madness type disingenous marketing. |
