In reply to the discussion: Patrick Kennedy spouts nonsense on Amendment 64 (Legal Cannabis in Colorado) [View all]tech3149
(4,452 posts)6. I've listened to him on a couple of show interview over the last week
He truly seems sincere on his position and some points have validity. Pot today is waaay better than it was in the '70's but most people I know that still smoke don't ingest anymore than they want or can handle. That usually means a few tokes is good for a buzz when it might have been a joint or two.
Already there are those that question the validity of the study he bases his opinion on re: effect on IQ over long term regular use.

OP
Patrick has his own drug of choice. Perhaps that industry is fronting him some aged stock.

The anti marijuana people are mostly hypocrites and crazies. Anti science, usually 'former' abusers
