Heyas...

Haven't actively read the paper in decades.... happened to be shown this and figured I'd share.

Hats off to the University of Colorado for providing much-needed leadership where there has been little. Particularly disturbing is press coverage glorifying marijuana use with no discussion of how increasing marijuana use is impacting our state. While many misconceptions exist, two facts remain irrefutable: Marijuana use permanently damages the young developing brain, and today's marijuana is much more potent than ever before.
Marijuana, not alcohol, is the No.1 reason why children and adolescents are admitted to substance-dependence treatment today. In the last four years, drug-related suspensions at Colorado public schools have increased 45%. Meanwhile, with more marijuana dispensaries than Starbucks coffee shops, marijuana is as enticing and accessible than ever.
It is time for all of us, including the media, to step up. Our indeifference is putting the health and well being of our yout in jeapordy.

Anyone care to pick apart the "Irrefutable Facts" in this article?
There are literally thousands of sources of 'facts' that prove the opposite and I know that at least a few sombodies have quick access to the best of the best.


On a side note... In the 4+ years I've looked into the "medical" end of cannabis... the one thing I've found to be true is this:

"Anyone... and I mean ANYONE.... who dilligently studies this subject, with an open mind and from all avenues (for and against)... anyone who works with patients one on one using cannabis in concentrated oils/edibles/sub-linguals/lotions/etc...

Anyone who makes a serious study of this subject... finds out the truth and cannot refute the evidence they've researched and witnessed.

People are SOOOooooo programmed!


Discuss!

Hydro-Soil, Nice read! My son is sixteen years old..he is now and has been on the Honor Roll and Distinguished Honor Roll just about every report card! He is at least a year advanced in his math classes and most other classes and work too! He is a skateboarder and a smoker too! His choice..not directed by me in any way! Very smart kid! monkey5

[Hydro-Soil]

Way to go!

I really enjoy meeting folks that think for themselves... sounds like your kid is well on his way. You should be proud.

Stay Safe!

"Marijuana, not alcohol, is the No.1 reason why children and adolescents are admitted to substance-dependence treatment today."

That is very true. But the reason is that when kids and adults get caught with it and go to court, they are usually FORCED to admit they have a substance abuse problem to get into substance-dependence treatment, which they have to pay for, to make the problem go away and avoid jail time. Total bullshit money making process but that's the way it goes. Nice for the media to confirm whose pocket they are in.
As a side note, Vegas police suspended the DARE program for the public schools because of budget cuts. So no more bullshit being fed to kids.

[Hydro-Soil]

Don't talk to me about the DARE program...

Around here the kids, that were kept out of the program by their parents, were ridiculed and teased by the kids AND TEACHERS until they begged to be put into the program. Real nice.

My son learned: "Guess what?! I know where to get drugs and alcohol now!"

He also was taught kidnapping and extortion by police officers. How nice.

Screw public school and "Well Intentioned" people in the programs. They're simply tools with no logical thought or input on their own.

Stay Safe!

i agree with the fact that the public is totally delusional !!! "well intentioned" on the other hand is something i don't see too much of
