I am not a big advocate of pot-lol. Some like it an some don't. And that is fine.
But I just get tired of seeing it vilified with misinformation, while alcohol is the big problem.
I just get pissed at all the myths about pot as this being a very dangerous drug.
It is the safest of all the drugs. By far!
Yes, there is a pandemic of kids smoking too much pot, but that is true of cigarettes and alcohol!
But for seniors, as Harvard research discovered, it "normalizes" brain function, "improves executive action (ability to function) and in increases neurogenesis.
Rhetorical: Go look at statistics comparing it to alcohol e.g. fetal alcohol syndrome, no fetal pot syndrome.
Or cocain babies. Or violence against women. When have you ever seen a pot smoker fight, anyone?
People don't get stoned and then go beat their wives-lol!
But when people get drunk it is just a matter of WHEN the fights will start.
And kids are not fearful when their parents smoke pot, but they are when they drink!
And science knows alcohol causes severe brain damage. Stanford tried to use alcoholic cadavers for their medical research and couldn't do it because the brain was so destroyed.
And there is no evidence pot causes memory loss, or even impairment.
Just the opposite.
I know pot can help one think better, not left brain activity e.g. I never play poker stoned, but it does help right brain (creative) activity to see what we usually don't see.
And intellectual seeing is my favorite thing.
I am almost 84, and I live by myself, drive to the YMCA and poker room most days without trouble.
And I still make a living playing poker, and have smoked it for over 60 years. but just a few puffs when I do.
I almost never forget anything, and don't have any trouble mentally. My nervous system isn't as quick, but that is not pot.
You have read my posts, do they seem simplistic, or stupid? Well, maybe stupid, but that's not pot either-lol.
And I was the state director of alcoholism and drug abuse in my state and wrote the first state plan, by myself, and put the program together, so I have seen the research.
