He's right about this 1 dink. And i smoked heavy for 10 years...and think it should be legalized and taxed.

There are threads from right here in the PF, where if anyone even suggested that pot has side effects or drawbacks, you would get ww3...withb just as much fervor and effort as the Bible and Christian threads. Pot heads can tell you about every study thats ever been done that shows what they want it to, remember 739 uses for hemp...oils, 3tc etc etc...page after page of wall to wall text like I typed it myself. Super angry, and sometimes belligerent. Pot heads get super pissed if you talk bad about their Idol.

FTR...again, legalize it. Implement real time tests for THC DUI...enforce it just like alcohol. I want my kids clean and sober, but if I had to choose between them usong pot or alcohol, I would choose pot...less dangers.

Pot does have dangers though. It is very mentally addicitive to some people. Very. It can be very expensive, and people who are crappy will buy weed instead of groceries or clothes for their family. The single biggest downfall is that in my experience, in the vast, vast majority of users, it KILLS their initiative. When they get high, they sit on the couch playing games and munching instead of working, cutting grass, playing ball with junior, helping a neighbor...it kills the desire to get off your butt and be somebody. It is a drug of complacency, and definitely contributes to the generational sec8 housing and trailer park syndrome. From my experience, pot usage in these poor places can be 75% or more of teens and adults. They will never get off their butts and work their way to the top. Easier to smoke a blunt or fatty and wait for the 1st and 15th...

It also wrecks short term memory. There is a reason for the "where are my keeeeys maaaan???" Stereotype. Burnouts are just that...burned out. Can't remember what they had for lunch or where the car keys are...I have seen the effects in many, many people from my youth. I have also read medical studies that say when kids start smoking pot at 13 and 1r years old that they can stunt the emotional development that is supposed to hhappen in their brains. Leaving them stuck as the emotional wrecks that young teens are...unable to deal with failure, authority, life in general.

Pot might not be the devil like opiates are...but it us far from good for you, and far from innocent or without serious consequences. Pot heads get downright nasty when confronted with these truths.

Who knew that smoking pot at 13yrs old could stunt growth and development lol. Rest of this reads as something you would find in a 1980's memo from Nacy Reagan.

I'm sure smarter posters than me will give you a better answer, but here is my take.

1. Alcohol and THC are both depressants, so both have a similar effect. The more you drink, the more alcohol affects you, same with pot.

2. Given that pot is currently unregulated there is little data that could allow a good comparison of like quantities. I would suspect that regulation would come with legalization, either government regulation or commercial quality regs, which in the end would rationalize it to equate with alcohol. Therefore, a joint would probably end up equating to a glass of wine, bottle of beer, shot of whiskey standard (my opinion).

3. I would also predict the smoking laws would apply.

4. The other consideration would be the question of how legalized marijuana would affect healthcare. This debate would be interesting to me as I've heard that since it takes less pot to have the intended affect that it could lower cancer rates, however, it could also follow that people who smoke pot would do so in conjunction with their tobacco use so it would lead to increases in lung cancer, or no significant change.

You sure THC is a depressant. I always thought it was classified as a mind altering drug...at least it was when I was in college 35 years ago...I clearly remember my psychology class and specifically, the chapter on drugs

The NFL f**** him so bad. Dude had severe anxiety and he was a workhorse of a RB. There is no better coping medicine for somebody like him. "No bro, you gotta take opioids and anti-deppressants. Rules are rules."

You're right. He bore absolutely no responsibility whatsoever in his football career's demise.

That being said I will give the dude credit for standing up for his choice regardless of the consequence.

In what way did I absolve him of his part in the drama?

You said the NFL ****ed him and then all that sarcastic **** about 'rules are rules'. No. He ****ed himself. He chose weed over a short career as an All Pro running back. Too bad. Next man up.

The two are not mutually exclusive. The NFL can **** him and he can also **** himself.

That being said, he had 10,000 yards, made a lot of money, became a spokesperson, and is now parlaying all that drama into a business. I would bet good money he's not sitting there right now thinking "I wish I hadn't smoked weed".

I wonder if Erik Ainge is wishing he had abused weed instead of opiates?

In the case of RW, you are probably right. I really don't care. Like I said earlier I give him props to sticking what was important to him.. I am just not shedding any tears over his NFL career, and not blaming the NFL in any way whatsoever. It is all on RW. You disagree. I get it, and I can live with that.

In the case of EA, I don't really know enough to comment, but from what I DO know of opiate addicts (A nephew is a heroin addict) They don't GAS about much of anything.
