Yeah, let’s see it...
And before ya post some bogus link. Here it is in the first line according to the CDC...

Don’t [ deposit from a bull that looks like Art Briles ] because you were wrong (both from a statistical and logical POV). You asked that question with a very clear purpose of implying that weed leads to heroin use.

They may or may not have gotten their start smoking weed, but there’s that whole causation and correlation thing.
Do you think that maybe the type of person who is likely to get into heroin is also likely to smoke weed? Could you then suppose that the fact that they started smoking weed first had absolutely nothing to do with the fact that they eventually started shooting heroin?
FWIW, I have a ton of highly successful friends (almost all with families, all in their 30’s and 40’s) who smoke weed. Some just occasionally, some every day. It has become much more common place... a lot of people now do it to relax after work instead of drinking.
Both my kids must be smoking a lot of weed.I think we will likely discover that weed leads to a profound level of apathy. Most will work through it but I think we will see a higher level of people who have no ambition to do anything and will be happy to choose to live off of the hard work of others.
Nobody is mad. Dont be so paranoid.No legit doctors claim marijuana is more harmful than alcohol. I never said there were no effects on health; luckily a lot of those are positive. Why are you so mad about it?
Yall should relax. Like others, I'm really only here to detail the thread.Nobody came into this talking health food or cure-all. So let's be intellectually honest.
It's an intoxicant. It will have negative effects. Point I think SBF was trying to make is that - while not "good" for you per se - data suggests better for you systemically than alcohol. That's it. We'll get better health data as this steps out of the shadows and soon we'll figure it all out.
You dont like hookers from Taipei? Racist, IMOWhat a terrible analogy. Go sit on your porch old man.
Not so sure. I mentioned a string of hookers from across the pond and it didn't get a rise out of anybody.Two words and I could send this thread to General Board hell in a matter of seconds.
Along with apathy I think overuse of MJ leads to a loss of ambition. Back in the day, I saw a lot of people who just got used to getting by. Worked just enough to get high and get some munchies. I’m pro legalization but there is a risk in overdoing everything whether it’s alcohol, drugs, sex, food, sports forums... but I don’t think you should legislate against being dumb.I think we will likely discover that weed leads to a profound level of apathy.

Waste of my time. You are quoting CDC generalizations. There are many large studies that demonstrate THC is a gateway drug, leads to physical addiction, increases the odds of psychosis, and can cause irreversible brain damage uncontaminated by other substances. It’s incredibly dangerous, especially for those under 25 in which the brain hasn’t fully developed.
But what do I know, I’m only subspecialized in adolescent addictions.
Be careful what you take for it.I have strep throat currently, so I have some time to read up and educate myself.
It’s tough to convince anyone against MJ to think otherwise.You just presented some strong generalizations. I’ve read over 50% of ppl over the age of 18 have tried marijuana at some point in their life. Of those, an estimated 44% still use it today. Based on your thoughts, we should see a high number of those ppl that have used cocaine or heroin. However, those numbers aren’t even close. Not even in the same ballpark. And further, that’s a large chunk of the US pop using this “incredibly dangerous” substance - wouldn’t we see a lot of people coming forward experiencing psychosis and irreversible brain damage? Does that happen, sure, but a very very low percentage. Instead, I see a ton of ppl that use it to help take the edge off and relax, similarly to ppl getting a drink after work.
Let’s see the data that support these claims. If you sub-specialized adolescent addiction, surely you are familiar with these many large studies that demonstrate marijuana is a gateway drug. I’d love to take a look... for real. I have strep throat currently, so I have some time to read up and educate myself.
I 100% agree people should not start this before 25 (when brain is fully matured). Knowledge of that effect on brain development is based on good science.Waste of my time.

Much more likely they started with other opioidsYep. Addiction is horrible. Do you suppose there is a single person among those heroin deaths that didn’t get their start smoking weed? And no, I’m not saying they were addicted to grass. Just tossing out a question...
