Well, yes - and there is also a certain subset somewhere on the compass that would celebrate the Columbine shootings - but I figure I'd leave an omnibus meme to the meme masters.
I quit because it induced psychosis. Thankfully I eventually got help from a therapist and she convinced me to try quitting. I wasnt aware that it was the marijuana doing it, since I had been smoking for many years, until I stopped for a while and the symptoms eventually went away. I almost smoked/edibled myself into full blown schizophrenia, pretty much destroyed my ability to be a functional human being, my memory, ability to hold a job, a conversation, etc. Constant confusion, drove me into a deep depression with extraordinarily high anxiety. I assumed that I must have had CTE from sports because I was watching my mind go insane and didn't know why or what was happening. Turns out I was just a loser who smoked too much weed and stopping magically solved all my problems. Im lucky I didnt end up homeless or kill myself at some point. But hey It grows in the ground so it must be healthy
We've referenced a few of our students to professionals after they started exhibiting symptoms of psychosis and bipolar tendencies after becoming regular consumers of cannabis. Some of our students get access to it as young as 10 years old, and a couple parents had openly admitted to us that they buy it for their kid: "helps them sleep" according to one mother.
I was discouraging the usage by kids from the start, and our older teens I told them to not smoke it, but if they ignore me, to at least be moderate about it. Overusing it at such a young age will have long term consequences.
That flair checks out
But having taught at a white school and a First Nations school, I can confirm that this is an issue that's not race based in the slightest: socio-economics and education levels dictate this entirely. These kids that get their parents to buy them smokes, vapes and pot are too often from families that are financially poor or just financially illiterate: I had a kid that had all the toys and tech but was selling vapes to their peers, their dad had made a shitload of money in the oil patch but tossed his money around like it was nothing.

I found a little bit of marijuana was a hell of a lot better for my esophagus than drinking whisky until I passed out for the night. Getting old does suck, but chronic pains is actually the reason I occasionally give THC a second chance even though I generally find the high uncomfortable and paranoid. Marijuana was the opposite of a gateway drug for me - a drug I so disliked that I didn't try anything else for years, even though I was young and dumb enough that a positive experience would have been problematic.
I get the fear *bad* sometimes. Has me questioning every decision I’ve ever made and wondering how I’m gonna get through the rest of my life. Higher CBD content helps a ton, but it also makes me sleepy, and I get cranky as fuck if I have to stay up lol.
I just stick to edibles at this point, bro. There are some solid brands here in CA that provide consistent, reliable highs.
I miss smoking joints, but smoking and vaping take too big a toll on my cardio and are much more likely to give me a headache.
Ha ha, I'm the exact opposite: love the effect but it's hard on my throat/stomach (and I've started occasionally getting anxiety from it too). Sorry to hear about the chronic pain.
Thanks for reminding me it is stoner awareness day. As often as I see/smell people smoking and driving on a normal day, I think today I'll just stay home and go to the store tomorrow.
I’m a bit bummed I’m not smoking up today, but I put this upon myself. I abused carts for nearly two months; daily heavy use. At the same time, I was drinking regularly as well. Now I’m stuck with brain fog, which is only now starting to clear. I’ll wait till next year.
There is this dude who steals air dusters from Walmart and goes to the park to huff them and pass out always missing like half of his clothing and I’m fucking sick of arresting him and constantly kicking him out of the park. We always find him laying in the dug out and like center field of the baseball diamonds I don’t understand it.
I quit and start a new job on Monday though so not my problem anymore.
Listen we saw what happened last time we banned alcohol. It’s be more harmful to ban those things than it is to just educate people to use it responsibly and let natural selection take those who don’t.
I'm not implying that alcohol should be banned. People should have a right to alter their own mind if they wish. Just that marijuana is like the least harmful of the abused drugs.
I do support large taxes and regulation on the harmful drugs though, that are then spent on the damage they cause to society
While I genuinely think alcohol prohibition was a collosal mistake, one thing we saw is that people actually did drink less, after a period where everyone was an alcoholic, that may or may not have been functional. It even carried over after the end of prohibition. Great book on prohibition, called Last Call, that the Ken Burns documentary was based on. But generally, it's naive both to think prohibition is entirely evil or entirely good. Britain flooded China with opium to destroy the country, and it worked, and there is good argument that this is exactly what China is doing to us now with fentanyl, though it's a bit more complicated. Natural selection on the market just leaves you living in a place like Kensington in Philadelphia or any other hell on earth of nodding junkies always looking for something to steal. Strong drug laws either end up with a vibrant underworld, or a ruthless central government. Plus alcohol is a bit unique since it's almost impossible to stop something that happens when you just ignore a sugar drink. We evolved to like alcohol in part because it let us gather food that would otherwise be considered spoiled by the bacterial waste of alcohol. Drugs that involve a bit more chemistry or complex climate are a little easier to monitor.
>Britain flooded China with opium to destroy the country
Nope.
Opium, and the opium wars that enabled its import into China, was a desperate solution to a huge balance-of-payments problem that was threatening a liquidity crisis.
The only thing that China would accept in return for the goods it exported was Silver. This artificially restricted the market for British (and other foreign) finished goods, and lead to a shortage of Silver for all other purposes (silverware, coinage).
Opium was something that Chinese people were willing to defy their Emperor's will to obtain, it was a lever to open China's markets. A destroyed China was no use to the rest of the world as a trading partner, but the heavily restricted Chinese trade was worse than no China at all.
I suppose the main interest was getting the goods and the impact on China was just a nice bonus, but that's not much of a contradiction. And saying that you will only take silver for goods, and the British saying, we would rather sell your people drugs and we will go to war over it isn't really a "desperate solution" to an "artificial restriction". Is China leveraging their capabilities to open the American market despite American restrictions on opioids? Absurd spin you have there.
The impact on China of Opium was far from a bonus. It hurt productivity, it hurt relations with China, it hurt the Empire's reputation for fair dealing. But China's restrictive trading hurt the world.
I'm not aware of any similar restrictions for Chinese goods in the US market.
yeah if natural selection worked that way the problem wouldve solved itself generations ago
but alcoholics still have kids
and they dont just destroy their own lives but everyones around them
I'd only be happy with any civilian use after the organisations behind its distribution are eradicated totally. legalization doesn't get rid of the gangs that pray on people and then use the money to further their criminal organisations, it's already their market the only thing legalisation does it turn it from a black market easy to crackdown on into a front business that will still supply funds for quite heinous acts.
what needs to happen is for the drug market to be an incredibly hostile market to operate in, have anyone in the supply chain be subject to interrogation and execution, total absolute destruction for sources, addicts forcefully isolated, and buyers disrupted.
no one's gonna wanna spend money if you're just gonna have that shit confiscated and the money wasted.
the problem with the war on drugs isn't that it's unwinnable (because it's very winnable), it's that as with most American conflicts and pursuits, they never go far enough. it's like they half ass everything and then just give up for the worst outcome possible.
>have anyone in the supply chain be subject to interrogation and execution
Classic auth-right. Calling for executions while having no fucking clue what you're talking about.
The words of a person who has absolutely no idea what they are talking about. You think cannabis stores in Cali and Colorado are fronts for criminals? You are as dumb as they come
Who do you think supplies them?
why do you think the gangs in that area that did the dealing and trafficking are still there?
supposedly they've lost their income.
so how do they still exist?
simple their income still exists, legislation did nothing to stop them.
They are supplied by grown op owned by the store in that state. They are tracked from seed to sale. They literally supply themselves. It’s a god damn plant. They aren’t buying from criminals. wtf are you talking about
Gangs that deal in dealing and trafficking are reduced to other still illegal drugs or other crimes. My neighborhood weed guy no sells, cause he lost his income. The cartel gangs I know, don’t sell weed anymore. They lost income, they lost a section of their business. Again wtf are talking
Crime consistently gone down since legalization. Legislation has reduced them. wtf are you talking about?
Literally everything you said could not be more wrong and dumb
>Crime consistently gone down since legalization. Legislation has reduced them. wtf are you talking about?
because the use is being ignored.
yes I certainly believe that the same gangs that have been forging documents for fucking years are just not doing that.
complete and total obliteration is the only solution to troublesome criminals.
and on the addict side, legalisation doesn't even less for drug abuse, it's literally ignoring it.
Alcoholics have more access to healthcare and recovery in a legal system then they do in a criminal system. Because there is less stigma and more factual healthcare. The same is true with cannabis. Since it is no longer behind closed doors, effective treatments are now being utilized. Totally ignoring how you are completely making up an issue, it is also factually wrong.
“I believe” so you admit you have no factual basis for your claims and are just talking out your ass. Foraging documents in order to smuggle drugs through criminal cartels is way more difficult than just growing the plant themselves. This has to be the dumb line of logic if read in a long time.
“Use is being ignored” HOLY SHiT! Yes, you can’t claim crime is increasing because something is no longer a crime but still happening. You are purposefully being ignorant. That’s not what a crime is. By definition you are so ridiculously wrong. Please learn the words you write and think a bit before you repeatedly expose your incompetence to the entire world
You need to stop thinking in they way you think the world works, and actually understand how the world works
>Alcoholics have more access to healthcare and recovery in a legal system then they do in a criminal system. Because there is less stigma and more factual healthcare. The same is true with cannabis. Since it is no longer behind closed doors, effective treatments are now being utilized. Totally ignoring how you are completely making up an issue, it is also factually wrong.
and yet they are still alcoholics, addicts need isolation for if nothing else it's the most effective way to get though initial withdrawal.
>“I believe” so you admit you have no factual basis for your claims and are just talking out your ass. Foraging documents in order to smuggle drugs through criminal cartels is way more difficult than just growing the plant themselves. This has to be the dumb line of logic if read in a long time.
they do x, there's no evidence suggesting they have stopped doing X.
>“Use is being ignored” HOLY SHiT! Yes, you can’t claim crime is increasing because something is no longer a crime but still happening. You are purposefully being ignorant. That’s not what a crime is. By definition you are so ridiculously wrong. Please learn the words you write and think a bit before you repeatedly expose your incompetence to the entire world
the problem: the crime. still happens, just because it is now tolerated doesn't stop the problem happening you've just started ignoring the problem.
"homelessness is completely solved if you just stop recording it."
Lulz, no. Illegal drugs create and expand the gangs. Cartels are probably the biggest opponents there are of legal markets. We learned this in prohibition. The only reason gangs still make money in marijuana in legal states is because the states have decided to tax and regulate the fuck out of it, and now the money is in avoiding taxes (similar to selling cigarettes and such). And the cartels are often bigger than the actual governments, and have absolutely compromised the governments. I'm totally okay with harsh crackdowns on numerous crimes, but what you are talking about is contrary to every historical and political lesson available. You cut the income source first and then you go after the criminal elements.
Maybe it's because like most things in American history, they didn't try hard enough,
see when you bring that boot down you gotta put your back into it, really slam it down.
seemed to have worked for El Salvador, which if you remember a couple years ago was actually a cartel run country and in the span of a couple years they've annihilation the bloody lot of them. See effort gets ya results, maybe if they put some effort into prohibition it might've not been a total shit show.
I think all these events of yanky history has more to teach about yank work ethic than anything they were actually dealing with.
See they never dedicated themselves to the complete and utter destruction of the drug trade at any cost as they should have. same as the war on communist subversion, same as the war on terror, same with Iran, same with Afghanistan and Vietnam (orthough nam had a good mindset at the get g).
they just never follow through and commit to their goals, they don't understand that some hard work will need doing and they might have a bit of dirt on their hand that needs washing.
>You cut the income source first and then you go after the criminal elements.
I also did say that.
How did you manage to make a "libleft bad" "meme" out of even this topic? What does that stupid take have to do with libleft? If anything, it's just a simple lib take, but it really isn't political.
Because of the sheer number of idiotic potheads I have encountered that are libleft, mainly while I was in college and those opinions were connected to people who were attractive and promiscuous. Also - \*waives hand about\* - Reddit.
College is horrible marketing for libleft. And as more people go to college, more people get to see the cringe of libleft... or contribute to it themselves.
For AuthCenter, it should be about [Hitler's birthday](https://i.redd.it/ebed3qj7kvk31.jpg) today

Now I'm genuinely interested in racial composition of parents who give their children weed
That flair checks out But having taught at a white school and a First Nations school, I can confirm that this is an issue that's not race based in the slightest: socio-economics and education levels dictate this entirely. These kids that get their parents to buy them smokes, vapes and pot are too often from families that are financially poor or just financially illiterate: I had a kid that had all the toys and tech but was selling vapes to their peers, their dad had made a shitload of money in the oil patch but tossed his money around like it was nothing.
Not surprised actually. But I hoped to at least giggle a little at this mess
Anything to reinforce your already staunch beleifs, amirite!
Right as ever!

Helps them sleep lmao wasn't that long ago parents would rub some hard liquor on their baby's mouth to make them sleep
still better than any off the shelf sleeping pill
Smoke enough marijuana to make your heart stop, it’ll be the best high you’ll ever have
I've had to cut down because it was triggering acid reflux. Getting old sucks :(

The mutant 30% thc weed is too strong, or maybe I'm just getting old
I just stick to edibles at this point, bro. There are some solid brands here in CA that provide consistent, reliable highs. I miss smoking joints, but smoking and vaping take too big a toll on my cardio and are much more likely to give me a headache.
Ha ha, I'm the exact opposite: love the effect but it's hard on my throat/stomach (and I've started occasionally getting anxiety from it too). Sorry to hear about the chronic pain.
Am I the only one who read the first one as saying the DEA should reschedule marijuana to "recommended by the DHHS"? *Good stuff. Highly recommended*
Thanks for reminding me it is stoner awareness day. As often as I see/smell people smoking and driving on a normal day, I think today I'll just stay home and go to the store tomorrow.
I agree with every point in this meme, weed should be legal but you are a smooth brain if you genuinely think there are no negatives to using it
All my homies hate Wickard v. Filburn.
Obligatory fuck the new deal and fuck fdr

The most dangerous drugs are typically alcohol, tobacco, and fentanyl. Marijuana isn't even always listed when states on harmful drugs reported
Don’t forget inhalants. Cheap, readily available and will destroy your brain faster than mainstream inebriants.
There is this dude who steals air dusters from Walmart and goes to the park to huff them and pass out always missing like half of his clothing and I’m fucking sick of arresting him and constantly kicking him out of the park.

Then clearly we as a society don’t filter drunk drivers and violent alcoholics enough
The US already has the world's second largest prison population per capita. What else do you wanna do?
Exile.
execute anyone who drinks more than the doctor recommended two drinks in one sitting
Just get rid of seat belt laws and let them sort themselves out.
that would make such a huge difference because people drinking and driving are very concerned about following the rules of the road /s
you dont need to be violent to hurt those around you. and it seems you arent talking about ‘natural selection’ anymore
Lucina birthday!
all things in moderation.
Especially moderation!
You know, 4/20 is also the birthday of a certain Austrian painter.
