That has a lot more to do with the genetics that were passed down to him than it does with marijuana.
“Yeah, I got the daughter in the clinic, getting cured off the Wild Turkey. And, the older boy, bless his soul, is preparing for his career.”
“College?”
“Carnival.”
“You got to be proud.”
“Oh, yeah. Yeah, last season he was a pixie-dust spreader on the Tilt-O-Whirl. He thinks that maybe next year, He’ll be guessing people’s weight or barking for the Yak woman. You ever see her?”
“No.”
“She’s got these big horns growing right out above her ears. Yeah, she’s ugly as sin, but a sweet gal. And, a hell of a good cook.”
this is Vermont’s Cannabis page. Still think its a joke? See the “.gov” ending to it? Doctors (and patients) need info.

It must have come from his mothers side as my blood lines are not addictive to pot.
LMFAO you are taking this a little too seriously
. Sure people need to be aware of certain things about it but for the most part it is very safe. The stuff I keep hearing people bring up about "Marijuana induced psychosis" but that is extremely rare and is an already underlying issue. While i don't think smoking pot is a joke and shouldn't be done by very young people I will absolutely say it is extremely mild. Obviously smoking anything is bad for you but many people are moving to edibles, and it's not like someone is going to smoke a pack of 20 Marijuana cigarettes every day like they might if they use tobacco... Marijuana is extremely mild, especially compared to something like alcohol. I personally don't have a problem with people who drink responsibly but when you compare the two drugs it's not even close as far as being dangerous. If I had a kid I would much rather them experiment with weed or just smoke weed in general than to be a drinker.
Here are just a few facts and statistics about Marijuana and Alcohol. It is really annoying to me how hypocritical some people are when it comes to using Marijuana. When you compare the dangers of Marijuana and Alcohol it is not even close as to which one is more dangerous. Someone could list facts and statistics like these all day, overall it is actually pretty safe. The old joke about the most harmful effect of weed is jail time is actually pretty true:
- Alcohol kills 86,000 people a year
- Over 40% of all violent crime is alcohol related.
- Marijuana increases the odds of a wreck by 83% but Alcohol increases the odds of a wreck by more than 2,200%
- You cannot overdose on Marijuana... Nobody has EVER died overdosing on weed.

Just for the record, I took a drug test for a job on Tuesday and passed for both Marijuana and Alcohol. This wasn't something I even had to prep for or worry about in the slightest. I occasionally use THC but not too often, and it's actually been a couple months for me.
*EDIT* - Like I said I have zero problems with people using Alcohol and it being legal. Personally I don't drink at all anymore but would definitely take a shot or two of some good small batch Bourbon under the right circumstances, and only use Marijuana maybe once or twice every month or two.

True that. I think there are a lot of good reasons not to use marijuana, so I don't. I also think there are a lot of good reasons not to drink alcohol, so I don't.
And yet I somehow get through the day without lecturing other consenting adults about their use of either.
I quit alcohol, caffeine and cutting back on nicotine.
Alcohol caused the most problems, then caffeine, nicotine.
Marijuana fits in nicely.

I hear that. I smoked cigarettes for 11 years and had quite the caffeine dependency. I'd venture to say most of those claiming to have never tried any drugs at least have themselves a caffeine addiction
caffeine can be quite insidious. It becomes a substitute for sleep/rest and/or food for many people.
"Only 5 hours of sleep? No problem, I will binge on coffee all day, even tho I will crash multiple times and feel like shit too."
Lost in this post is the fact that Willie Nelson is 86 YEARS OLD. Apparently marijuana is so deadly, dangerous, and destructive that you can smoke it nonstop for nearly 80 years and still tour as a musician. I also hear Willie's balls are both firing on all cylinders.
Why would you care if Willies balls are firing on all cylinders? He is the Pope of druggies. Not sure I’d look at him as a hero.
I smoked weed as a youth, and did my share of drinking in college. All of the arguments against weed could apply to alcohol as well. So why should marijuana be illegal and alcohol legal? In fact, though I haven't smoked it in 26 years, I much preferred it to alcohol. You can't overdose on weed, like you can alcohol. You're not falling down, puking everywhere if you overdo it. The high is way better, and you don't have a massive hangover the next day. No one smokes marijuana over and over during the day, like cigarettes, so lung damage (if any) is minimized. And smoking isn't the only delivery method. Best of all, I've never seen a high person get all angry and start fights, like I saw on "O" Street pretty much every Saturday night. I've never heard of a guy sexually assaulting a woman high on weed - an event that happens to drunk girls on college campuses every weekend.
Either legalize it, and tax it, or make alcohol illegal. But don't feel all morally superior opposing the legalization of marijuana, when alcohol, cigarettes, gambling, trans fats, pornography, yada yada is widely available to everybody. I'd be willing to bet those paycheck advance/title loan places have done just as much harm to society as marijuana.
With that said, studies have demonstrated that marijuana use is very bad on the developing brain. So I would not recommend someone using it in their teens or early 20's. "When you're young, you're stupid to do it. When you're old, you're stupid not to do it."

don't forget over the counter sugar, the original gateway drug. Killed millions and wrecked lives.
I will say this i have never heard of a kid dying from pot but many have died from hazing at universities. Pot or any drug is not good for your body but it is a fact it is less harmful then wisky and some prescription drugs.
Benzos and opiates are legal and deadly. Even the great rush limbou or how ever you spell the morons name was preaching jail time for people who smoke pot and he lost his hearing to pain pills had his sec out buying them on the street.. Pot is not harmless but i would rather my kid smoke it then drink booze>

safer than booze and I would also say safer than sugar, nicotine and caffeine
Breast growth? Really? For the first time in my life I hear that smoking grows breasts ... To be honest, I have never heard of testicular cancer developing from cannabis. It would be nice to make sure that the article mentioned in the post is valid. All my life I smoked cigarettes, weed, drank acohol and at the moment I have no health problems. I do not know why, perhaps because of the fact that I think about it the least. I hardly smoke any cigarettes lately since I switched to shatter from getkush.io. A great tool to help you take your mind off your daily problems. Sometimes I mix it with alcohol, but this is only on weekends

problem is, everyone has their own idea of being unproductive.
social media, netflix, video games, sports, drinking, etc are all unproductive in the economic sense.
what makes marijuana the outlier?
So is lying. So is stealing So is laziness. So is selfishness. So is lack of empathy. So is greed.
We are all guilty of these to one degree or another but we never became felons.
Go Blue!
What revelations do you think are going to come out that have been hidden away for the last 60 years? People smoking pot is nothing new. Only legally being able to do it. And let's be honest, the laws didn't stop anyone.
Is it just smoking or do other forms of thc delivery have the same impact?
Oh it's not.. I never said it was the outlier, those are your words, not mine. See how easily people twist things, even if they didn't mean to do it?
I don't really care about pot, it was just a generalization I made about it making people unproductive, which is true. I didn't demonize it and have said before on this board that alcohol is way worse and causes much bigger problems in society than weed.
Nicotine by itself, is as safe as caffeine. It makes you smarter, but it is addictive. Just like caffeine. Cigarettes are bad from the smoke, combustion, and particulate matter.
