High potency seedless cannabis with 20% THC content or higher has been available for decades, not just recently.<br /><br />Yes, teenagers with still-developing brains should avoid mood and mind altering substances, but your average adult isn't going to suffer brain damage from some top-shelf dispensary grade marijuana.<br /><br />Plenty of your friends smoke cannabis daily, you just don't know it.autothreadshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12922732992155191413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-44596315712960410622018-04-23T11:22:52.505-07:002018-04-23T11:22:52.505-07:00Nothing is said about the demographics to provide ...Nothing is said about the demographics to provide specifics to better understand who is being affected. Because of this, I am of the opinion the frame of this article is being mis-represented. Growing up - a lot of people who I associated with smoked hash. However, all of us came from family units that were intact. We all had friends, we all had jobs, and most of pursued some level of formal education. Now in our fifties most of the guys I know from back then have jobs and families. So maybe it isn't the pot that is the issue. It's the lack of meaning, family, and community.Shaun Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17425084501514329529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-41156300967730512702018-04-23T10:00:37.471-07:002018-04-23T10:00:37.471-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Shaun Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17425084501514329529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-29004651745162314782018-04-23T07:52:14.865-07:002018-04-23T07:52:14.865-07:00I don't know anyone promoting marijuana for ch...I don't know anyone promoting marijuana for children. I do remember hearing that the marijuana is much more potent now than in decades past, so once-pothead parents (or grandparents) may under-worry about what the kids are getting into now.<br /><br />It does look like fear-mongering to suggest drugs CAUSE mental health issues or suicides, but it makes sense drug risk making existing mental issues worse. Statistical evidence is only weakly convincing.Ares Olympushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726811306826601686noreply@blogger.com
