Florida marijuana initiative in jeopardy despite having one million signatures

Oh you were for real?
I don’t know how anyone can seriously say weed makes you a better person or a better community.

 

Yeah, I wasn’t sure how to take his comment so I fired back.
Appreciate it.

 

Whoa! No! Blew my mind with that I had to look it up. I never made live resin because every video showed a chemistry lab setup and let just say my experience with chemistry in college was a series of unfortunate events. Seems doable for a normal person and the potency and flavor would be significantly superior to mine.

 

On the news, the TV news just now. MJ recommended by DoH to be downgraded to Schedule 3 drug like Tylenol 3 (with Codeine).


The Department of Health and Human Services has recommended to the Drug Enforcement Administration that it should downgrade marijuana from a Schedule 1 to a Schedule 3 controlled substance, which is defined as having "a moderate to low potential for physical and psychological dependence."1 hour ago

Dan Kendra? Is that you?

 

I have never been a big pot smoker. I imagine most of what i smoked was at UF. I smoked enough to know you never really new how strong it was. I like drinking beer I know how drunk I will be usually.

 

A perfect example of how fallible statistics can be. Nobody can source data that shows how many auto deaths are related to cannabis versus alcohol, but you can tell us there's a 4 to 6 percent increase associated with legalization of pot? I'm sure your data collection methods are superb. Your post gets a well-deserved c'mon man.

 

Levity..

 

Nah I alcohol was there all along.

Always knew my brain was my ticket to success and never wanted to risk ruining it..

 

Yeah no one ever ruined their brain with alcohol....

 

Rudy says HI!

 

Oof!

 

Not the point of my concerns.

High potency THC has increased risk to cause psychosis in young adults and people at risk.
You don’t get that from drinking a few beers daily, but you can get it from smoking or ingesting THC daily.

It’s being billed as a cure for anxiety/depression and there isn’t one study that shows it helps that long term. Most Psychiatrists agree over time it worsens anxiety/depression.

The weed lovers will defend it until their death and justify the defense by whataboutism with the negative parts of ETOH.

Give it time when enough people are using it regularly you won’t be able to ignore it.
Teen use has gone up in every state where it’s legal, boy that’s a great thing……

 

Honestly I never gave a crap one way or the other about weed. Until I’ve seen and met people and kids who developed psychosis.

Info is out there. So far it’s had limited access but as you get more use in the population you’ll see the impact of this “harmless” natural drug.

 

I see a lot of psychosis here from people I’m pretty sure don’t partake. I’d wager there is an order of magnitude less psychosis among heavy MJ users than Trump supporters. Why the faux concern for them but not your ilk?
PS you should stop watching reefer madness it’s giving you nightmares.

 

You should do a bit of research. You won’t because you don’t want to know about the dangers of your drug of choice. Instead you disparage people who don’t need drugs to enjoy life.
You really need help with your fixation on Trump and his supporters, it’s bordering on an obsession.

 

Certainly statistics are fallible and studies have their limitations, but good time series methods can detect significant association in trends. However, given the limitations, and that it's only one study, and that accidents didn't skyrocket over the past decade but did increase, it's why I wrote probably a small effect (key words are probably and small). Not trying to claim any absolute.

 

Swing and a miss, I partake once a month or so. You and the ilk come across as very sour people. Not buying any joy combing from that direction.

 

Come on, you’ve gone on and on about how much you love mind altering substances.
Perhaps that’s why your posts are limited to trashing the right.

 

We agree on little but I 100% agree with what you said. I have just as many conservative friends that like an occasional toke as I do liberal, so I don't think it is political, more generational and I think truly a moral question in many eyes. I don't understand the moral opposition, all while they are having a beer or a cocktail!
