OT -RE: Marijuana -True Confessions

[Guest guest]

I wholeheartedly agree with these comments. Having smoked daily from 16 to

41 and having achieved everything I have wanted to in terms of career,

family and material goods, I am troubled by sweeping statements such as

'they are all lazy'!. I have seen NO evidence that smoking pot causes any

mental health problems. Indeed, a more compelling argument is that people

who smoke pot and then have mental health problems would have had them had

they never smoked. I would also suggest that people with underlying mental

health problems may be drawn to cannabis to help them relax or escape. By

the way, I am by no means an exception. I know literally hundreds of people

who just get on with their lives.

Also worth mentioning is that during the last world cup (soccer) that was

held in Europe, the rival fans were tearing each other and town centres

apart when they met for the games. That was until they arrived in Amsterdam,

where pot is not exactly legal, but more than tolerated by the government.

Once there, the violence stopped, when the fans had a smoke instead of a

drink. I'd say that was a good thing!

Its too easy to blame things we don't know enough about. At the next summit

of world leaders we should seal the room and fill it with marijuana smoke.

We'd then see the real positive effects of this evil? drug!!!

Of course I suspect if one eats, drinks, and sleeps mj or anything else,they

will probably display some symptoms as brought out by . Sort of like

overdoing carrot juice and glowing like one.

I have that sick knowing feeling that the ills of the world are not mj induced

but rather greedy, corrupt, and evil men..........not teens smoking pot.

Perhaps mostly Lobbyists? Joe C.
