Reply #50: I understand we all like to toke it up...

but let's remember two things:

1. It's still smoking, which is still bad for you.

2. If your kids get into it and smoke a bunch, they will end up with smaller brains, less cognitive function, and lower communication and problem-solving skills. I can post links to the studies, and I can tell you from personal experience in the public schools that kids who smoke dope are handicapping themselves. Marijuana makes kids stupid.

That said, it appears pretty harmless for adults. Just keep it away from the teenagers.

Feel free to tell me that I'm a tool of big pharma or whatever, just keep it away from the teens.

And I know many feel that booze is worse, but booze takes a lot longer to do serious damage to a teen than dope or tobacco does in moderate doses.

Now I'm a tool of the alcohol industry too, I suppose.

Oh, well...
