Broken Arrow schools warn legal marijuana could hurt students

[CHenry]

Fair enough, I understand your point.

But back in the young days, some of the appeal of drinking beer was because it wasn't allowed. "Breaking the Rules" is a motivator also.

Six of one/ half a dozen of the other.

Spot on.
I smoked it back in school and I turned out okay.

What "harm" would come to the adults/kids of MJ consumption? Serious question.

Less than Booze by a mile !!

It's adults buying for these kids and the parents letting them smoke it. I know a guy years got his step daughter to start smoking. F@$ing piece of ****.

Pretty serious pot proponents (Rogan for one) will acknowledge that young people shouldn't use it. Can screw up brain development in younglings, supposedly.

I wonder if the kids steal it from their parents if parents could get a contributing charge? Assuming pot wasn't properly locked up and all.

That does not seem like a precedent that most participants in a 2A forum would like to see established.

Pretty darn easy even when fully illegal.

Adults:

1) Paranoia
2) Malformed Sperm
3) Psychological Addiction

Children

1) Neurological Developmental Issues
2) Psychological Addiction

Alcohol has issues in large quantities as well, but so does food. When it comes to poison, it is usually about the dose.

Read the side effects on bottles of over the counter meds lately? Read the side effects of prescription meds?

I would agree with keeping drugs/alcohol away from kids. As for adults they should be "smart" enough to figure out if they will or do have a problem.

Can you imagine all of the money local stores will make due to the increase in snack sales?

None

High doses or over use of anything causes issues. The question is were you a 12 y/o, 16 y/o? the closer one is to adulthood physically the less neurological issues.

Google "marijuana induced psychosis", for openers. Also, "children, acute marijuana intoxication."

Any drug consumed regularly will become a part of your body's chemistry. Hence, an addiction. True for cigarettes. True for heroin. True for smokeless tobacco. True for marijuana. Etc.

There's tons of research to indicate marijuana is not "harmless." But addicts don't care about the facts. Just the high.
