More important, I wonder whether the tens of millions of Americans incarcerated over this issue, the highest rate in the world, have declined. It would make it easier to start dozens of wars since WW2 using that propaganda line about "Freedom."
lol...I know I saw that and it doesn't surprise me one bit with the emphasis this State puts on public education.
Im sure at some point everyone in the US will be walking around stoned out other freaking mind, right? My sis in law is a head emergency room Nurse at a large Portland hospital and she says there is a huge spike in young people coming in all freaked out and paranoid after they toked for the first time. Growing up in the 50/60's the pot in match boxes was fairly harmless and then the lids were too.
As soon as the gubment gets ahold of anything, it’s ruined. There will be Prozac and rat poison mixed in the weed in no time I’m sure. Can’t have anything in it’s pure form, it wouldn’t be safe.
So it's better that in some states (e.g. Michigan), well over a fourth of all men are felons? You're just going to have to let Americans do what Americans want to do. Your sister-in-law is not Queen.
Who said she was queen? She'd be the last person I know that would want to be queen, she's more of a servant. I just mentioned her observation with regards to impact of pot on hospital visits.
Ha! Excellent pick up! I purposely used the term "believe in science", as a little poke at those that do the same in regard to climate change. I see nothing in or about science that has to do with a persons belief system.
Shitloads of peeps going to the emergency room because they smoked weed? For paranoia? That’s unbelievable.
pot is not a danger to society in general anymore than soda pop or cigarettes...less so than those two items...my experience is that meth sends people to the hospital freaked out more than pot ever will....alcohol will send more people to the hospital including the person who drank in most cases...driving on a public road is one of the riskiest things humans do...some whacko cut me off on the hiway today weaving in and out of traffic like a bumble bee....20 miles down the road he was at the light two cars ahead of me..not worth the crazy driving to gain 15 yards in 20 miles ..speed kills...pot smokers don't drive like that
Another simple rule of thumb....if you have panic attacks or borderline fears don't partake in substances that can enhance those things. When in doubt.....leave it out
science is not about a belief system in my view...it's purely scientific method....when something is demonstrable to our human senses in general it's scientific....paranormal belief I would not consider scientific information. Chronic marijuana users that start using before the brain is fully formed apparently alter the shape of the brain a bit...I personally do not advocate for being a chronic user of something that is meant for medicinal or mild recreational use...some people abuse food..chronic eaters.....apparently tobacco over the years, alcohol and salt changed the shape of my systolic heart chamber....gave up those things and it's shrinking to a normal size now. People need to know when to stop consuming period
I always emphasized to students that grades and scores can give you a head start in academia or help you get a scholarship but education is about knowledge...how to acquire it and use it...you teach students to learn..they either do something with that or not. Many kids know they are going to work at the mill as soon as they finish HS....grades or test scores aren't keeping them from the mill job. Most people in general learn what they are interested in the most long after HS..or even college in many cases. There's no finite time limit on your path to knowledge and information...some figure it out young...others take decades to discover their path...
This is a real shame. One should be aware of their assets and aptitudes as early as possible. It is helpful as hell in earning living. to maximize you assets first, leave your weakness to be filled in later.
A man's got to know his limitations. But I don't think a few years or decades of exploration is a bad thing. Maximizing wealth isn't everyone's prime directive. The journey is the reward. barfo
Yeah, it often is quite obvious. In downtown Portland, it seem the dominant prime directive is dereliction.
lot of good people holding down jobs in downtown Portland...bums are all over the planet...from what I see they are also fallout from the search for booze....wake up with a tall malt liquor and you probably won't make the job interview
