Broken Arrow schools warn legal marijuana could hurt students

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.

Sugar, caffeine, and nicotine are WAY more addictive than the devil's lettuce.

I would agree. However the longer the time that one uses anything, the harder it is to quit. Nicotine and Caffeine do manifest physical issues when one quits, hence the term Physical Addiction.

Marijuana? I have known those that had much trouble quitting. It was more akin to going on a diet.

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

True, the only thing I've seen a pothead kill is a family-size bag of Doritos.

Heck, I don't touch the stuff and I can do that.

For the children. Still up in the air over 820 but even when illegal they still get it, just like liquor and other illegal drugs. Will it increase usage? Perhaps but at least it wouldn't be a life changing crime if a minor was caught with it.

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.

In the eyes of who?

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

REALLY?

Uh oh, you'd be a two bagger then.

REALLY?

Yep, retired after 32 years at a good job at age 53...and worth a few pennies.

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.

I was probably 14 or 15
id guess. And it was a handfull of times.
Are your disagreeing with me?

The hypocrisy here is RICH!
One has rights based on OSA members opinion only
