I didn't think so, that is why I didn't quote any. So are you willing to admit you pick and choose your "research" based on your agenda?
I simply picked an article from Herb.Com to support the point I made, which you disagreed with. I was right, and you were wrong. Everyone knows about the pot induced panic attacks, so I don't know why you even tried to deny their existence, or call is "very rare".

High THC has long been known to be toxic to vulnerable groups, and for some reason, teenage boys may have psychotic breaks as a result. This has been suspected by medical doctors for many years, and now we know experimentally that pure (synthetic) THC is certainly psycho-toxic to vulnerable people.
man, ain't no kid smoking good THC and getting up to do anything besides eat some chips and play some music or video games.

it's also obvious Finn wants to smoke some tree's because no one is this obsessed with weed unless they want some of it.

Please don't twist my words.

You said, and I quote:

I called you out on that because it is EXTREMELY uncommon. The only times people call ambulances is when they consumed too much edibles or were using synthetic pot. So your statement is FALSE. People can experience anxiety, of course, I never denied that. But when using cannabis in its natural form, calling of ambulances is EXTREMELY RARE.

Besides, your deflection won't work. Either Herb.Com is a credible source or it isn't. You can't have it both ways. If you are going to quote them, you darn well better believe in them or your credibility just went out the window...

No one argues he was stoned when he committed the shooting. The point is that his brain might have been altered by intake the psycho-toxins. They should look into it.

I'm having a bit of trouble taking the Reefer Madness mentality seriously. The only thing that I see the chronic use of weed doing is making what could be a productive worker useless. If the average marijuana user has no intention of going out, the only thing that is in danger is the dozen White Castle murder burgers in the freezer.

As somebody familiar with both marijuana and SSRIs like Lexipro, I can tell you that marijuana does NOT in any way induce or promote a feeling of wanting to either commit suicide, go shoot a place up, or anything of the sort. SSRIs can do this, however. All the big pharma drugs they get you hooked on for depression are much more likely to induce these feelings. In the end I believe personal development work should replace these drugs and though I don't necessarily believe in "banning" anything based on principle, I think these drugs are overperscribed.

Just another anti-weed person trying to justify their reasoning for banning the drug with more bull. Also, just because something is genetically engineered does not mean it's bad, poison, or anything of the sort. Quite the contrary in fact...genetic engineering can be quite beneficial.

In fact, most produce we have today looks nothing like the produce of the past. We've been doing selective breeding for thousands of years. Google "old pictures of watermelon" to see an example. The gold pineapple is another example.. back when I worked in the produce department as a teen those pineapples were just getting popular and were $5 each while the old style pineapple, the type they still can, was $2. These days you ONLY find the golden variety and the more sour tasting ones simply aren't available fresh anymore.

What difference does it make if it's done over time with selective breeding versus it being done in a lab? One of the great things they've done is to create high oleic varieties of vegetable oils which is good because oleic acid is more shelf stable and better for the body. It's one of the few oils everyone can universally agree on is good for you. I cook with butter or high oleic sunflower oil and use any salad dressing or mayo that is higher in omega 9 and lower in omega 6 which rules out still about 80% of products which use cheap, high omega 6 soybean oil.

People have this assumption that natural is good, but there's plenty of things in nature that can kill you if you ingest them.

Smoking pot, doing pot effects the human body point blank.
If anyone thinks that it does not is in denial.
