“Heavy” Marijuana Use Up 80 Percent Since 2008

[DoobieDuck]

I don’t feel the kids should be allowed to do anything illegal.

There is no ANY reason why kids should NOT have acces to this "illegal drug" .....

OTH..I agree (in part) with you..the law is rediculous, yes, being the plant has been used for eons for medicinal purposes. Yet we can't allow our children to grow up breaking or flaunting the laws we have in place. How then will they learn right from wrong? The law needs changed first. Be well..DD

Maybe they should learn from the president, as long as you don't get caught doing it, you can do anything!

 

[Weird]

lets be honest here

DRUG USE SHIFTED to pot as it becomes legally available as an alternative

also look a the increase of overdose deaths and you'll see pharmaceutical opiate abuse and over dose have grown at a larger rate but being that big pharma makes a paycheck your not going to hear that side of the story

as pot continues to become an alternative to modern pharmacology you will see its use rise in replacement of traditional medicines, this and the fact that marijuana statistics are more available due to legality in some states

note the word use and not abuse was used, so this statistic could be used to justify the need for pot as an accessible medicine

CBM no sir, not a good idea either. When teaching them right from wrong "right" shouldn't ever be considered what-ever you can get away with before getting caught. Not a good scenario for children. Peace..DD

I'm just saying... that's the message Obama is sending out to our children. I definitely don't agree with it.

EDIT: just to be clear, 4sure most kids should not be using cannabis before or during school (or at all until the right maturity level) unless they have specific medical conditions epilepsy ect ect. but i believe i began to learn and understand things better when i began to use cannabis... though I started using into my 20's and the benefits only began after i developed a tolerance, so a student shouldn't have the tolerance to properly channel the effects of cannabis into a productive form and therefore shouldn't be using it for that purpose

right and wrong are measures of ones morality so what is right or moral to one may not be right or moral to another, I believe just is a better term.
children and people in general need to know the difference between right/wrong, just/unjust
when something is just or unjust, it is the same for all individuals yet what is right or wrong for one individual cannot automatically be said of others

bottom line is that the parents(good or bad in anyone's opinion), need to be the ones their children learn these things from. not the government or any elected officials or their school teachers or organized religion.

creatures need to experience and learn for themselves especially in situations like this, you cannot be told what a life experience is like or will be about, you must live it.
though some people have problems with many things in life and cannabis maybe one of those things for any given individual. Cannabis doesn't cause problems, even for young people, especially when used responsibly and the parents should be allowed to in force responsibility onto their children and no one else

my opinion,
peace

Maybe I'll get shot down for this, but I think being stoned in school is a bad idea. After school, that's a somewhat different story as long as the homework gets done. When I started smoking weed my grades went way up, but if I got cooked before class I just couldn't concentrate.

I'm not a big fan of public schools as they are now, but for most it's the only game in town. If you're there you might as well take advantage of whatever limited education's available.

I get kind of a sick feeling when I read so much mis-spelling, bad grammar, misuse of punctuation. I admit to being a bit of a language nazi but sheesh, enough is enough. Even some so-called professional journalists don't now how to use the language. Of course that's largely the fault of school systems that don't try to teach English, but the info's there. It's importand to learn how to communicate.

Same with basic math, geography, history, philosophy. Education's been dumbed down enough as it is. I can't help but think it's a deliberate strategy to generate low-wage workers who will be thankful for any pittance the fat cats throw at them.

The best way to fight them is to learn everything you can while the opportunity is there. At least im my case, that didn't include being baked in class. Raised hell with fact retention, critical thinking and analysis.

Same in my career. Tried working stoned a couple of times but when I did I made too many mistakes, missed too many details, had difficulty with quickly finding solutions. But when I got home a couple of good rips hit the spot, relaxed the brain for the next day's work. Of course your mileage may vary.

Anyhoo, I got this little rant and sermon out of my system. I think that without a good foundation it's hard to build a good life. The weenies who wrote that article are an example of people who never learned critical thinking, logic or science.

How can I " be well " if we can't allow our children to grow up breaking or flaunting the laws we have in place?

Is n't it the "bad guys" who put these laws in place...? > Then what message am I sending to my kids when telling them to follow "the bad guys laws" ?

To ignore & outsmart is what I have been teaching my (grand) children.

 

[greenmatter]

all the stories that the government has about weed are starting to sound like the stories you hear from 12 years old kids when YOU KNOW what happened, but they don't know you know.

they feel the game is over , even if they don't really understand how they got caught AGAIN. so they start going for that "panic fairytale hope the fuck he believes me" kinda thing ..... no holds barred bullshit

we got em cornered now ....... the truth is going to hurt them in the end more than us

Sorry, but cannabis is THE most medicinal plant on the face of the earth. Period.
Anyone who has a brain that works, and does the research, cannot come to any other conclusion.

Heavy... LOL these people take 3 pain pills a day and call 4 joints a week "Heavy".

The increased availability of cannabis has allowed more people (kids included) to self-medicate from this F'd up bullshit the govt and socialists call "society".

It should be a higher number of people medicating with more frequency.... our country needs it.

Stay Safe!
