I've got two sons. I love them both almost the same. One is a normal church going kid in his second year at JRCLS, married with a baby. The other is a dope feign and lives in my "basement." MJ has pretty much stolen my younger sons life from him. He's got one of the most brilliant minds I've ever known, and he's an idiot at the same time. He's 6'5" and 300 pounds of unbelievable strength, and is a dunking basketball player. He had BYU/OregonState/Oregon wanting his services for football. He was a legit pro prospect, and the voodoo weed stole his life from him. He claims he needs the weed to make his mind right, but it's evident to me that over the years weed has made his mind wrong. At 27, he's now 13 years into his addiction (he's tried but can't stop) and he's a barely functional human being. His goal is to become a professional gambler with a focus on the NBA. Is THC helping him with his bi-polar issues, or did THC cause his bi-polar issues? I think it exacerbated his problem to exponential proportions.
I'm sure like with most things MJ has a place somewhere in the world, but I sure as hell know it doesn't belong in our kids lives. It sucks the living out of them.
Just a personal everyday observation and opinion.

Not hard to find anecdotes about marijuana stunting development. Kids should absolutely stay away from it.

Parents are convinced it will cure their kids’ seizures, cancer patients think chemo will be easy on it, narcotic addicts with chronic pain are convinced it will cure all that ails then.
It’s a classic reverse psychology situation: the government says I can’t have it so now I really want it. Oh yeah and it probably works for everything!
The main thing that frequent marijuana use does is make it difficult to stay skinny, motivated, and mentally organized. That’s it. Sorry people — it doesn’t have all these magical mythical benefits you think it does!
For the record it should be legal nationally because putting people in jail for marijuana use is ridiculous. Imprisoning people for using marijuana is truly a “treatment” that is worse than the disease.*Banned*

Sad... I am sorry to hear this. Maybe Oregon, with their record high cannabis tax revenue, can use it to do some good with this problem."If there is one thing I am, it's always right." -Ted Nugent.

m all for legalization. Incarceration for marijuana possession/use is a waste of money and resources, and prolongs cycles of poverty and racism.
But...
What seems to be percolating out of this debate is this mistaken notion that marijuana is either harmless or a cure all. There are like three things that cannabis demonstrably works for (and in all three, as an adjunct to, and not as well as, other therapies)--with everything else, you're taking an expensive placebo or just want to get high. That's fine, just own it. But be careful! It won't kill you, but it's not harmless either. Hyperemesis syndrome is real, as are the near psychoses we see with first time users who overdo edibles and are crawling up the walls. Yes, it's safer than tobacco or alcohol, but it still deserves respect.
So I'm a little torn. The Church is making a ridiculous pivot on this, but they do make some good points about driving safety in Colorado, things that should be looked at more closely. If medical MJ, recreational is coming close behind, like it has in every other state. I think we need some good public education campaigns on safety, some good stiff laws on driving, and some better field tests for law enforcement, but for a hundred other reasons, it should be legalized. Once it is, the over the top claims will start to fall away.At least the Big Ten went after a big-time addition in Nebraska; the Pac-10 wanted a game so badly, it added Utah

In Oregon you'll be driving down a country road and all of a sudden you can smell pot.. you look over and you'll see a whole pot farm. 20 acres of pot plants. There's enough pot being grown in Oregon that they could provide for the whole country. Pot prices are down 80% off two years ago.
