Marijuana Poisoning Children in Record Numbers, Study Shows.

[Genx87]

I read it. Hospitalization for mj "poisoning" is an absurdity. Dr Wang took a page from the lawyers' handbook- he's just churning fees, filling beds & spreading FUD.

Indoctrinated as you are, you wouldn't recognize that if beaten half to death with it. Nor would you recognize your own denial if drowning in it.

Of course MJ poisoning is absurd. Just like your post about conservatives like Palin, Cheney, and Rush limbaugh. You have a derangement syndrome where you see conservative boogeymen in every story. You have built these people into bigger than life villans where you cant escape.

Try not to feed the troll. It may be tough. Smoke some weed if you need help getting through it.

I escaped long ago. Take a look at yourself, and the mental cage you live in, the one they've convinced you is some sort of freedom.

You've got lots of company, quite by design.

So, uhh, who was it that's supported MJ legalization for decades? Conservatives? And why not, even when wrapped in their sheepskins of Libertopianism?

Because the last thing conservative leaders want is for people to open their minds. They want you to close your mind, wrapped tightly around the little turdlets of ideology they fed you. They don't want to have to hunt for your buttons- they want to push 'em right where they found 'em last time, and all the times before that. Feel good? Of course. It's supposed to, to get you to feel all smug & self righteous. You're all dialed in as a receptor & a repeater, not as a thinker or evaluator. Not that you have the vaguest chance of ever figuring that out. All you have to do is believe, believe, believe...

Never question what you believe, OK? That's right, be a good little conservative drone. It's safer that way.

Jesus, every post of yours is a communist manifesto.

FWIW, I believe Sharon Levy, who is quoted in the article is liberal, and is part of an organization run by liberal Patrick Kennedy aimed at trying to tighten Marijuana laws.

It's addicting like peeing in the shower is addicting. A better word is habit forming.

I peed a few times in the shower when I would face the shower head and have the water directly on my face. After about 3 times whenever I would assume that position I would feel my bladder tingling even if I had just urinated before the shower. It took a solid 2-3 weeks of diligently peeing before my showers and resisting the urge to force out a tinkle before I was over the habit and my bladder no longer tingled.

Don't be fooled by propaganda, peeing in the shower has not only been shown to be safe, it's also been proven in clinical trials to slow cancer growth. Peeing in the shower is considered the third most popular recreational activity not only in the United States but in much of the world. Peeing in the shower doesn't impair your ability to drive as much as alcohol. Congress was lied to by yellow journalism.

Peeing in the shower can be used to eliminate pain and suffering humanely. Your teen has a better chance of dieing from alcohol or becoming pregnant then they do messing up their lives form peeing in the shower.

Peeing in the shower does not support terrorism.

No you didn't, you just got a new cage.

You're really clueless if you think this is a left right issue. There are many conservatives that support legalization, and many liberals that support criminalization.

Never question what you believe, OK? That's right, be a good little conservative drone. It's safer that way.

You are the exact same way just on the progressive side.

Oh look, a liberal saying what!?!

(Patrick) Kennedy, the younger son of Edward M. Kennedy and a former member of Congress from Rhode Island, was strong and direct, telling the Post, “Marijuana destroys the brain and expedites psychosis. It’s just overall a very dangerous drug.” ...

...
The prospect of Patrick Kennedy’s involvement gives hope to those who believe the U.S. has been surrendering the war on drugs.
Reuters broke the story, “Patrick Kennedy On Marijuana: Former Rep. Leads Campaign Against Legal Pot,” which was picked up by the Huffington Post and other liberal outlets. Kennedy “is taking aim at what he sees as knee-jerk support for marijuana legalization among his fellow liberals,” it said

http://www.aim.org/aim-column/a-kennedy-shocks-the-pro-dope-liberal-media/

Yes, it's definitely a conservative article, but it wrecks your legalization is a liberal ideal BS like a freight train.

You're sooo lame. Communist Manifesto? Hardly. That's just a convenient rationalization for your own Denial. Yeh, I typed something you didn't want to read or understand, so just label me as a Commie to ease the transition into lala land.

Here's the quote from the article-

"There is a lot of information that may not be entirely accurate about how benign marijuana is," said Dr. Sharon Levy, an assistant professor of pediatrics at Harvard Medical School, who wrote an accompanying journal editorial.

Tell us what that means, other than her spreading FUD. Here's Patrick Kennedy spreading some of his own, assertion w/o documentation-

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs...95a20ae-59e3-11e2-88d0-c4cf65c3ad15_blog.html

And he gets called on his bullshit over and over, but he just repeats himself as if he were making sense the first time-

http://dailycaller.com/2013/01/11/f...-kicks-off-anti-marijuana-effort-in-colorado/

Kennedy is a recovering addict (oxycontin) & alcoholic. They're known to get a little bit goofy over any sort of drugs, attempting to force their own abstinence onto others as if others need it the same way they do. That's obvious from his attempts to equate cannabis use with his own dependence on other substances.

Brain damage? He may be suffering from it, himself, and it's not from cannabis, obviously.

Yeah, habit forming is probably a more accurate description for those who enjoy MJ often. There gets to be a point for some, though, where they are so functional while stoned that they'd rather be stoned all the time. That goes a little beyond habit forming, I think.

I find your analogy to be weird...

MJ is entirely a mental dependency fabricated in their mind because they use it so regularly it becomes a part of their daily lifestyle. Whereas all those other substances create a chemical dependency within a user's body. Some can be quite painful and even threaten death if the user was a chronic abuser (alcohol is one of those). MJ users might be mildly irritable and have some sleep problems for a week or so after they quit.

I agree, it is much more mild compared to the substances you're referring to - a completely different level of addiction. With MJ, it is a want to be stoned, as opposed to a physical need.

There are many that support legalization, but won't vote for it because of the soccer moms fear of it, and their votes, guess what, liberals do that too. Only an idiot calls it a left right issue.

Thank you. I stand corrected. So, uhh, tell me- when will HOR Repubs let Polis' bill out of committee, anyway? How many of them will be waving the anti-marijuana save the children OMG Eeebill! banner for their constituents in 2014? All of them? 99%? Do they help formulate voter opinions, or just follow them? (pick the latter to be graded as a total tool)

Here's a list of pending MMJ bills and who introduced them-

See any (R)'s next to those names? Do Dems need to consider soccer moms less than Repubs, or what? What evidence do you have to support the soccer mom anti-marijuana meme, anyway? Ouija board?

And does every Democrat support, and plan on voting for those bills? Do you think not a single Republican will vote for any of them? BTW, Congress is not the sum of "conservatives", or "liberals", and most career politicians are not really conservative, or liberal, they are dollar bill green. It's a simple fact that there are conservatives that support legalization, and that number is growing. It is also a simple fact that there are liberals that do not support legalization.

 

[Incorruptible]

Conservative raving twits are conservative raving twits, always.

Marijuana "poisoning"? Really? There is no fatal dose, other than being hit by a bale of it falling out of an airplane.

A lot more toddlers are dangerously poisoned by things like chewing tobacco, cigarettes, alcohol, bleach, drain cleaner & poisonous ornamental plants than by marijuana, but that's not what "conservatives" want to hear, is it? Of course not. They want to hear about the evils of something their trusted sources identified as "evil" w/o any factual basis whatsoever. As always, they Believe!, with a capital B and an exclamation point.

Why do they Believe? Because they've been propagandized & indoctrinated since they could first understand the meaning of words.

Why is marijuana illegal? Because right wing propagandists haven't figured out how to continue indoctrination when people use the stuff. Their head isn't in the target zone that's been carefully triangulated for generations. The emotional hooks & handles are different, not as prone to self righteousness & denial, nor to greed & ego, all of which are the bedrock of so-called "conservative" thought, along with a fear of being wrong about anything, ever, even shit they don't comprehend at all.

Stoners recognize Rush as a big fat idiot, The Sarah! as a total bimbo, Dick Cheney as a total Dick, and all the right wing gas bags as just that.

Nobody likes to lose their audience, particularly right wingers with Calvinist social agendas, so they'll fight like hell to make sure that the only legal intoxicants are both stupefying & addictive. They understand stupid- they exploit it all the time. It's their meat & potatoes. Parroting their line of shit is what our conservative posters do all the time, even as they're dumb enough to believe that it was their idea in the first place.

It's the leftist idiot once again attacking Conservatives. Love how you have to attack your enemies since you can't debate them.

 

[IGBT]

it's dope. It's for dopers. All dopers think they use in moderation. It's called denial. Nearly all dopers think the sky is falling.

Really, because when I was younger it wasn't out of the norm to smoke an ounce a day. Yet, I never thought the sky was falling. I also quit (years back) it was the easiest thing to drop.

Guess what I still think it should be legal. Not because I would start smoking again, but because of what it can treat. With lesser side effects.

Also I'd simply rather be around a stoner then a drunk any day of the week.

Heh. And it's a simple fact that, on balance, "conservatives" oppose legalization a helluva lot more than "liberals". In legislatures with Repub majorities, legalization bills generally won't make it out of committee. Period. End of subject.

“I think it mainly reflects the underlying attitude of the populations of the state; there are clearly very different political views on average between say red states and blue states,” says Harvard Economics Professor Jeffrey Miron.

Yes, more conservatives oppose legalization, that doesn't change that it isn't simply a left/right issue. There are liberals that oppose legalization as vehemently as any conservative. Though I guess to a simpleton like yourself everything has to be broken down into bite-sized, easily labeled partitions.

Weed has LOTS of negative side effects, particularly when taken daily. It does affect brain development, so it certainly could be considered dangerous for small children with growing brains.


And a lot of these stoners who insist it's safe haven't stopped smoking for a couple of days since they started toking.

Talk to the people who have gone through weed withdrawal and get their perspective.


Weed, like almost any drug, is safe in moderation. But these kids claiming weed is 100% safe to use in excess have no idea what they're talking about.

Dear god..............

Is this what this country has come too?

Is addiction to marijuana as strong as cigarettes or alcohol? Or do we not talk about the fact that the three most addictive DRUGS on the planet are cigarettes, alcohol, and coffee (caffeine)? I havent smoked weed in a couple weeks and wont until I feel like it, if one night I decide im in the mood then ill toke it up, but if im not in the mood I wont. Its just not that big of a deal.

Correct, but some people DO get withdrawals from weed after they do it on daily basis.

But that's completely normal, it's no different than your typical Caffine or Sugar withdrawal (maybe light headache etc).

My wife gets hit pretty hard, but I don't.....so it's random for every person.
