Correct, and by far the most important point.

 

Had she not fallen asleep in a pot induced stupor, maybe she would have let them out. Of course this is not to say she wouldn't have ended up doing more horrible things in the future, pot or no pot. She would have.

 

 

1. None.

 

2. I never said the pot was the initial cause. I just said it didn't help that she got sucked into her addiction and then fell asleep. She sounds like a horrible person to begin with so even if she didn't have to get her fix at that particular time, I'm sure she would have done more horrible things to those poor kids at some point. And the sexting didn't help the other kid did it? But nobody is in this thread defending all things sexting and absolving sexting from any blame for anything ever. And they shouldn't be. And they also shouldn't be here objecting to the notion that pot has negative impacts. But here they are not only objecting, but doubling down on its disease curing miracles.

just saying that

 

you could have posted that exact post w/o pot and no one would argue the point.

I have to side with the anti-dopers on this. Doesn't mean I am against it. People's standards do slip and they "chill" just a little too much and @ the wrong time. Now mix in the chronic and we got real problems. Aren't people lazy enough? Looking for one crutch too many?

But once pot is introduced it must be defended at all costs? I suppose I shouldn't be surprised in a thread dedicated to the notion that pot cures all diseases.

You pretty much brought up a red herring. Don't cry when people point that out to you

According to this thread pot does that.

 

 

Are you saying pot = death?

Nothing is a cure all but death.

 

Pot has many medicinal qualities. To deny it is silly.

 

Would you rather take opioids and become part of the epidemic where people are dying in droves?

 

I'll take my chances with a natural herb than a pharmaceutical made in a lab.

I highly doubt it. pun intended.

The study, published in The Lancet Psychiatry journal, looked at data from surveys of over a million teens on marijuana use between 1991 and 2014. The researchers, led by Dr. Deborah Hasin, a professor of epidemiology at Columbia University Medical Center, found that although more teens did use marijuana in 21 of the states where medical marijuana laws were approved, the rate of use did not increase after the laws were passed.

 

Teens?? The study was with teens? Who the !@#$ in talking teens? I'm talking dudes my age that smoked 40 years ago but have not since for one reason and on reason only. It was illegal. The number of boomers that will start smoking again once it becomes legal will skyrocket. Guaranteed.

Yeah, but they only have a good 20 years left, if that.

Sorry Chef, but that's funny.

 

People do "illegal" things all the time.

Today's digital world its texting, sexting, and some states using a cell phone while driving.

There is jaywalking, rolling through stop signs, running red lights, speeding, aggressive driving etc

 

If you have a wish or "desire" to smoke and you can get it legal or not people will smoke it. There won't be like turning on a switch opening a flood gate. Will the #'s of admitted smokers go up. I'm sure it will as the #'s already indicate the rate of use.

 

wrt teens, Wasn't the point about driving incidents?

Yeah, but they only have a good 20 years left, if that.

 

 

Making sense as usual.

I think he's indicating that a 60 year old may have 20 years remaining.

 

Well, unless pot cures all. :thumbsup:

Yes people do illegal things all the time. However that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying just the opposite. People don't do certain things because they're illegal and if the legal roadblock was removed they would be more inclined to do it. And something that is fun but could also lose you your job typically follows that rule more than running stop signs.

 

And to your point about teens and driving incidents. So boomers don't drive? :huh:
