Yes now can we PLEASE stop talking about this.
It has been done to DEATH.
So has abortion and gay marriage. If we rid the ED of the hot issues, we'd probably die of boredom.
We could discuss more important issues, for example why you should all hail me as your new emperor.
Putting that aside, considering latest studies suggest strongly that Marijuana has a negative effect on intelligence it don't see why it should be legal. What i do think should change is the punishment for using and having Marijuana, which seems a bit over the top from my point of view.
Source for these studies? I've seen some that state that marijuana may affect short-term memory, but nothing really about affecting someone's intelligence.
But really, I don't see anything too damaging with marijuana, compared to something like alcohol.
More importantly, Chronic use slows down reaction time, even when not on the drug; permanent, idk.
But enough to were driving cars and operating heavy machinery is beyond dangerous limits, and it generally slows people down, which is bad in that, it would take them 3-4 times longer to think of something, I.E. lowers intelligence.
The difference is small amounts of alcohol can be okay where as any amount of marijuana is bad.
Small amounts can even be healthy, where as with marijuana it just has very little positive benefit even in small amounts. The danger with alcohol is over use, but it gets flushed out of the system with relatively little use, in a matter of hours. Marijuana might stick around for days or weeks and has long term effects even with small use.
