lol what is this 1998?
Cigarettes and caffeine to keep you working during the week, alcohol on the weekends to depress those uppers. Nothing else is allowed.
The dead giveaway of junk science propaganda is when they start with moaning about "high potency" cannabis. We've ALWAYS had very potent cannabis, though not always widely available. In the Sixties and Seventies, it was Acapulco Gold, Panama Red, Maui Wowee, and a variety of hash. – More potent cannabis is actually healthier because you smoke less of it to get the same effect. – Just like alcohol consumers don't drink the same about of Vodka as they do beer. – Start making sense.
What if mentally ill people are more likely to use marijuana? Correlation does not equal causation.
This "new" information comes from the prohibitionist agencies NIH and NIDA. They have been desperately funding research for decades, looking for some significant harm of cannabis to prop up the fraudulent prohibition. In all that time, they have not found even ONE. If they had, they, the DEA, the ONDCP, etc. would be shouting it from the roof tops and it would be on everyone's tongue. – Instead:
[Crickets chirping] — So, ironically, even NIDA has given cannabis a clean bill of health! — As the DEA's own administrative law judge, Francis Young, concluded after an exhaustive review of the evidence: "Marijuana, in its natural form, is one of the safest therapeutically active substances known to man."
I knew there was going to be problems here when they opened it up worrying about "high potency" cannabis. We've always had very potent cannabis, though not available all the time. In. the Sixties and Seventies, it was Acapulco Gold, Panama Red, Maui Wowee, and a variety of hash. – More potent cannabis is actually healthier because you smoke less of it to get the same effect. — So this silly hand-wringing signals Buffalo Chips ahead!

Where are the studies on alcohol??
I would love for them to discuss who is funding this research. I bet you it's big Pharma
Are the "WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN" fascists howling again?
Pretty sure joe Rogan said this 3 years ago.
Theses bimbos eat the lies up too..😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣 Oh please. "These are observational studies…" Eat black licorice you weirdo. 🤣🤣🤣
Toke up!
Surveying is the worst kind of study😂
"The human mind doesn't develop until you're in your 20s"…. So whys is okay to push the LGBT movement on kids???????? You can't have it both ways!!!!
Decades long study??? Sounds like someone was getting HIGH ON THEJOB
Lies
This is stupid I know people who suffer from mental illness and the weed doesn’t cause it it just makes it more prominent for some
🤣🤣🤣
“Gee I’m so surprised” said NOBODY
Of course people with mental health issues use more marijuana than others. Just as people with headaches use more aspirin than those who don't get headaches. It doesnt mean there's a causal link.
What a bunch of fake non science bs!
🦆💨
''….don't prove….'' – good reporting ~
….love that misinformation, kids. Thank you ~
ENJOY MARIJUANA RESPONSIBLY. Just like any other mind altering substance 🤷♂️
Yea ok. I wished I was subject to Marijuana at 26.
BS….conservatives hate the Sacred Herb but they don't mind that alcohol in America kills at least, 440,000 people per year. This is the CDC's statistic. So, make alcohol illegal first!
Lololol 😊😁🤣🤣🤣. The news knows how to word things wrongfully and make it sound to make sense lol. Marijuana does affect young adults..but in a very positive way. I can't say anything else While respecting community guidelines….. Time to think like the news. Earth is third Rock from the sun 🌞. So now every country is a third world 🌍 country 😂🤣
