When Adolescents Give Up Pot, Their Cognition Quickly Improves

moochiethinks:

But wait … I thought it was Natural™ & Safe™ …

(/sarcasm)

Except this isn’t
something we should be sarcastic or joke about. This is very serious.

I mean, if NPR is reporting on the detrimental effects of pot on teens, it’s got to be worse than most of the general populace was led to believe. And I’ve heard quite a number of pro-marijuana reports on NPR in the last 15 years.

Look, working in
medical, I hear it from actual, real doctors all the time. Marijuana is a
gateway drug to other drugs. It’s very harmful, especially for teens. I’ve
heard from every single theacher I know (& that is not an exaggeration in
any way) that kids who smoke dope, & it’s quite obvious which kids are
using, fail classes & typically drop out of school. They see it constantly.

We’ve been sold a
bill of good. Liberals want to make pot legal to court the Youth Vote™ because
power is all they see & care about, rather than the health & well-being
of teens & young people. Vote for the Democrats ‘cos they gave you DOPE!

The experiment is
failing. And it’s harming society. What’s going to happen when teens who are far more accepting of pot grow up & use as adults. We’re already seeing significantly increased traffic accidents in every state that has legalized it. And we’re not just seeing people driving under the influence, but actively smoking while driving.

It’s Natural™ remember. People are going to justify bad behavior in any way they can.

Legality does not equal morality.

We are now in the
What Could It Hurt?™ phase. Soon, we’ll be in the How Could We Know?™ phase.

By then it’ll be
far too late.
