Mom Whose Teen Son Became Addicted Warns About High-Potency Pot Negative Yahoo hit piece on weed by someone ignorant. Her son may be in trouble but blaming such on weed potency instead of his chosen lifestyle is nonsense. It is news articles like this where Yahoo's ban on commenting allows manipulation without consequence and balance. The more potent a drug, the stronger the possibility of addiction, Stuyt notes. A manipulative vague general statement. Sorry but it is not a physical addiction but rather a behavioral habit by choice just like eating enjoyable unhealthy food too much like potato chips and cookies. The fact some people have weak self control resisting little pleasures is not addiction. It is true there is always going to be an increased level of access of minors to weed, booze, cigarettes, and illegal drugs in any state where such is legal for adults because where there is money to be made, some older unemployed unskilled buyers will make money so. But legal or not, just like past decades that strategy didn't prevent kids from smoking nicotine where a buck was to be made. The way to decrease kids from use of any drug unfortunately is random piss testing at schools with consequences that is not an option ever muttered given politically correct attitudes and policies that have damaged our public schools systems in a list of ways.
I read the same article this morning at work. While it may be totally factual, it screamed of the reefer madness prohibition proponents. Cannabis made him push his younger brother into traffic? More likely adolescent impulsiveness. Cannabis made him rebellious? Would be all those boarding schools and deprogramming centers they sent him too likely a culprit? Can't blame all the strife of youth on a little plant imo.
"addicted to weed" man some people just want to be a victim so badly. As Arthur Morgan would say "get the hell out of here and be a godamn man"
First of all how many IQ points is the author of this article working with? 65? 70 on a good day? Tobacco and alcohol are legal in the entire US.... And how can "illegal drugs" be "legal" in certain states.... that would make them legal. Fuck me this is an impressive level of stupid. And where are we getting "legal states = more people selling to minors" from? If anything, logically that would be the opposite. Adults in legal states go to licensed dispensaries. In illegal states dealers sell drugs and they don't check IDs.... I mean you seriously have to be fucking stupid to believe this propaganda in 2021... Acknowledging there's no legitimacy to their argument, yet they won't let things like logic get in their way... Ahhh yes, violate children's right to privacy in a totally invasive, totalitarian, tyrannical way, all in the name of trying to get them not to smoke weed, which is probably among the lowest concern compared to any other drugs they could be abusing, including legal substances like alcohol or tobacco. I'm pretty drunk rn and this shit is still retarded as fuck
