At some point relatively soon marijuana will be legal federally.
Wonder if users, besides the Vice President, will be allowed to work in the Biden Administration then?

We can call it "The Chill Administration."

We could use one of those after the decidedly hyperac.. Squirrel! ...tive administration we just had.

Chronic Marijuana use has been shown to decease IQ by an average of 8 points. Sure did with Al Gore. His roommate in one college said he smoked marijuana every day. He flunked out of a couple colleges because of it. No wonder it's illegal in China. It gives creedence to their beliefs that Americans are stupid and lazy. Just 8 IQ points can take you from Nobel Prize level to a run of the mill community college professor level. And an average MSU Psych student from average to dull normal.

I can definitely say that there's a lot of people on this forum that could benefit from some marijuana.


They/them, non-binary and proud.

Cannabis Almost as Addictive as Opioids Among Teens, Study Finds
A year after first trying cannabis, almost 10.7% of adolescents age 12 to 17 met the criteria of addiction. Those in the same age group who tried prescription opioids had a similar addiction rate of 11.2%, according to the study, published Monday in JAMA Pediatrics.

The findings contradict widely-held perceptions that cannabis isn’t particularly addictive and may attract attention amid a broad U.S. push to liberalize its use. The rates of addiction were significant, especially since teenagers’ brains are still developing, according to Nora Volkow, an author of the study and the current director of the U.S.’s National Institute on Drug Abuse.

What stands out to me is that according to the study, marijuana is more addictive than cocaine.

STUDY SUBJECTS (FIRST TIME USERS) ADDICTION RATE AFTER 1 YEAR ADDICTION RATE AFTER 3 YEARS
Cannabis (age 12-17) 10.7% 20.1%
Cannabis (18-25) 6.4% 10.9%
Opioid (12-17) 11.2% 10.6%
Opioid (18-25) 6.9% 7.3%
Cocaine (18-25) 5.6% 6.4%
Heroin (18-25) 30.9% 42.5%


New York and Chicago were all in with respect to their sanctuary status — until they were hit with the challenge of actually providing sanctuary. In other words, typical liberal hypocrisy.

I’ll bet you tobacco use (which isn’t there for some reason) is more addictive than most of those.

This is a clown study. Opioids and cocaine are far more addictive than marijuana. Opioids are also deadly whereas marijuana related incidents are very minor and almost always traffic related(driving while high). You are exaggerating the addictive qualities of marijuana and the danger.

I assumed Joe was high when he said he plans on running for a second term.

Why would he say otherwise even if he were planning to not?

He would immediately be a lame duck and his legislative agenda would be dead in the water. Plus If Trump runs again in 24 he would be the Democrats best hope. In other words he may very well run again. There’s no advantage to revealing that now. NONE.

And after 22 we can start talking about 24. Not everybody files to run for re-election the day they start the job.
