The Democrat "Pot Vote"

[Spoonman]

the exact downside iis injured and killed in MVA, handicapped or killed by cerebellar hemorrhages, handicapped by psychosis and schizophrenia - all the very pleasant complications of marijuana intoxication.

Heck, you're a hoot old timer - I'm 53 and you make me seem "with it."

You are extremely misinformed about marijuana - should we base policy on the opinions of the blatently misinformed? Someone who thinks "no one ever smokes less than a full joint" ??

Or pot cause brain bleeding and breaks with reality????

You are so full of crap your eyes must be brown.

You want to live in your "Reefer Madness" world - fine. That's your choice. But you don't have the right to make that choice for anyone else.

dude, you're 53, you actually think you are winning on a message board, pwning someone, kicking someones ass. please key board warrior. pot has fried our brain plenty.

If I want to smoke a leaf? Who is small government conservative to tell me that I can't????

Wtf???

Arrests for drug offenses usually spike during Democratic presidencies, often a result of the Democrat President pandering to the reactionary right who are itching for the opportunity (like they need an excuse) to scream, "LIBERALS ARE SOFT ON CRIME!"

 

[KNB]

List one death caused by smoking marijuana. Cite medical references. Find the autopsy reports. Find one in the entire history of medical science.

What were their names? Who died from "cerebellar hemorrhages"? Who developed schizophrenia from smoking pot?

No doubt states are looking at that revenue and not at the tripling of fatal car crashes or the rise of poisoned children in the emergency rooms.

That is a stupendously ignorant statement Booze makes people loose their faculties - not pot.

Cops don't lock up pot smokers in detox - that is for shit faced drunks.

Marijuana poisioning - really.

I have never heard of anyone with a string of charges " driving while buzzed on thc " The cops can't tell if your high unless they smell it. If anything, pot causes people to be more focussed on the task at hand. You can tell at a glance when someone is drunk - the big piss stains are a dead give away, not to mention they can't talk, or walk.

You obviosly don't know shit about thc - you have formulated, and cemented a stance based on ignorance. You seem to accept all the alcohol induced accidents - I guess your hyperbole makes you feel better about your drug use. Three times the fatal accidents - your ridiculous. You think millions of people haven't been driving high for decades - get a grip!

[Meister]

And you're for huge big honking government if you agree with the war on drugs.

There's a big difference between safe and sane law enforcement and Democrats/Obama in government promoting drug use for votes..

I suspect you're lost in a pot cloud and incapable of logical thought...

Cannabis isn't a "drug". It's a plant.

That's your well thought out post?

Did you even read those links?

If stoned driving causes more car crashes, then you outlaw driving while stoned, not the Cannabis plant itself. That's why drunk driving is illegal but alcohol is not. Get it? Of course you don't.

As for kids and "weed poisoning"? Here's the first paragraph of the article that you listed:

"DENVER—Colorado doctors say looser pot laws are leading to more child poisonings for youngsters who are often attracted by drug-laced edibles like gummy worms or brownies.

From early 2005 to late 2009, Children's Hospital Colorado had no emergency-room visits by kids who had ingested marijuana. In the following two years, after medical marijuana became legal in Colorado, it had 14 cases. So far, no deaths have been reported."

14 cases!? Since 2009!? Holy SHIT! And NOT ONE DEATH!? Marijuana is SOOOOO DANGEROUS! Let's spend at least another $20b to wipe it all out and put sick people in cages.

Big government Conservatives love the Drug War.

Really. it is you, who obviously don't know shit about THC or are buried in the urban myths of your youth about it.

Did you check up at least ONE link I have provided? Or are you just pillowed in your comfortable ignorance from 30+ years ago when marijuana was considered benign?
well, then wise up - the world is not stuck in 1975 and research and knowledge has expanded. Including the real physical harm marijuana use is causing.

Mostly to the young, but also to the old farts still melting in their pot smoke of the youth long gone

actually it is quite to the contrary if one takes into consideration the consequences of such idiocy.
It is an extreme expansion of the government - all the regulating, controlling and enforcing agencies and all the ones which wil deal with the long term health impairment of the whole generation.

and a calculation on the tax revenue from the intoxicationg the youth mostly ( which did not materialize, BTW, neither in Washington nor in Colorado as the government got so greedy that it is still cheaper to buy illegal pot.

America legalized "Marihuana" during World War II.

As we all read in our history books, this is what caused the downfall of American civilization.

Microglial activation underlies cerebellar deficits produced by repeated cannabis exposure
Cerebellar Infarction in Adolescent Males Associated With Acute Marijuana Use
Chronic cannabis exposure can lead to cerebellar dysfunction in humans, but the neurobiological mechanisms involved remain incompletely understood. Our results suggest that cerebellar microglial activation plays a crucial role in the cerebellar deficits induced by repeated cannabis exposure.
Dose-related neurocognitive effects of marijuana use
Very heavy use of marijuana is associated with persistent decrements in neurocognitive performance even after 28 days of abstinence. It is unclear if these decrements will resolve with continued abstinence or become progressively worse with continued heavy marijuana use.

Cannabis use and risk of psychotic or affective mental health outcomes: a systematic review
we conclude that there is now sufficient evidence to warn young people that using cannabis could increase their risk of developing a psychotic illness later in life.
Cannabis use in young people: The risk for schizophrenia


To date, the research on the impact of its use has largely been epidemiological in nature and has consistently found that cannabis use is associated with schizophrenia outcomes later in life, even after controlling for several confounding factors.


This article is LONG but it describes the pathogenesis of marijuana-induced schizophrenia:
The cannabinoid receptor 1 associates with NMDA receptors to produce glutamatergic hypofunction: implications in psychosis and schizophrenia

Pathways to Psychosis in Cannabis Abuse - Clinical Schizophrenia & Related Psychoses - Walsh Medical Media


JAMA Network | JAMA Psychiatry | Cannabis Use and Earlier Onset of Psychosis: *A Systematic Meta-analysis

The results of this systematic review and meta-analysis represent strong scientific evidence for an association between substance use, particularly the use of cannabis, and an earlier age at onset of psychotic illnesses. The association between the extent of cannabis use in the substance-using group and the effect size as well as the weaker association between earlier age at onset and alcohol use support the hypothesis that cannabis use is a causal factor in psychotic disorders. The finding raises the important questions of whether cannabis and other substances can trigger psychosis by direct neurotoxic effects, by alterations in dopamine activity, or by other changes in neurotransmission and the extent to which any adverse effects on the brain are reversible.45,46 These results confirm the need for further neurobiological research to find the mechanisms by which cannabis use triggers or brings forward psychotic illness.

The results of this study provide strong evidence that reducing cannabis use could delay or even prevent some cases of psychosis. Reducing the use of cannabis could be one of the few ways of altering the outcome of the illness because earlier onset of schizophrenia is associated with a worse prognosis and because other factors associated with age at onset, such as family history and sex, cannot be changed.47 Building on several decades of research, this finding is an important breakthrough in our understanding of the relationship between cannabis use and psychosis. It raises the question of whether those substance users would still have gone on to develop psychosis a few years later. However, even if the onset of psychosis were inevitable, an extra 2 or 3 years of psychosis-free functioning could allow many patients to achieve the important developmental milestones of late adolescence and early adulthood that could lower the long-term disability arising from psychotic disorders. The results of this study confirm the need for a renewed public health warning about the potential for cannabis use to bring on psychotic illness.

stopping the war on drugs does not equate to legalization and glorification of the harmful substances, you do know that, don't you?

Oh, yes. It's SOOO dangerous.

How many people were listed as dying from marijuana-induced complications in 2013? In 2012? In 2011? 2010? 2009? Any year since 10,000BCE?

Zero.

Zero deaths reported by any doctor, anywhere, caused by smoking marijuana. So with all of your studies about the "increased risks" of whatever, there still have not been any documented cases of anyone dying from smoking Cannabis.

And Cannabis may cure cancer.
