I sometimes post on the very bad impact of drug legalization, such as increased car crashes and ED visits. I was talking to a friend in the medical field and she mentioned the massive increase in drop out rates in states that legalized drugs. I had not heard of this (media blackout?) but I did some research and found it to be true:
We agreed to let states set marijuana policy for a few years without federal interference because we want to use states as laboratories and get some data. The data are in and they stink. I don’t know how any parent in America can support this based on the above study and all the negative impact we are seeing as a result of legalization. The experiment has failed. Time to lock American’s dangerous drugs back in the cabinet.
Anyone can find a study to support any claim if you look hard enough. Studies contractic studies and studies are often funded by special interest groups conducted with a bias.

You say the same thing when pot users post some piece of dubious science to rationalize their drug use here, right?
The “study” does not claim to have included any pot users.
Besides, I doubt that many high schoolers have medical conditions such as cancer or arthritis to allow them to obtain marijuana prescriptions. How many arthritic teenagers do you know?
If you drink alcohol yet support the continuing prohibition of marijuana you are a hypocrite.
Our first "Oh yeah! Well what about alcohol?!?!" post! That was quick! Only the fourth response. The obligatory "Reefer Madness" mention cannot be far away!

It comes up quickly because it's such a good point. And thank you for pointing out I forgot to mention reefer madness. I'll be sure to bring it up in the next anti-pot thread started by hypocritical alcohol drinkers.

Maybe all the vidja games are cramping up their hands?
