That dizzy feeling isn’t the weed – Chinese pesticides used on pot farms linked to nausea, memory loss and even cancer | Daily Mail Online
I don’t know anything about pot, except it seems to make a lot of people, besides Willie Nelson, unproductive and unmotivated.
And although it’s supposed to be non-addictive, the people who use it seem to base their lives around it.
Never base your life around a substance unless it’s insulin.
What I know about it: the mild stuff impedes linear thought, makes pretentious music sound awesome and deep, and makes you boring to other people. Done regularly, it dulls the wit, and promotes withdrawal from social situations. The modern heavy-duty stuff is all that 10X, and if taken enough at early ages, can induce psychosis in a small number of users. Did I miss anything?
I would change “small number” to “small share.” Even a “small share” can be an unfortunately large number, when applied to a large population.
There was a good op ed in the WSJ a few weeks back about the change in the federal classification and how bad MJ (especially the current stuff) is for people. I liked the analogy to both tobacco and the opioid pushes. These ‘consensus’ in the medical community don’t just happen out of thin air. Great interview.
