NO marijuana for kids!!!!!

[the big wheel]

Lol caseterd, obviously your personally somewhere way past Mary and somewhere between crack and meth, too bad you can't remember how you got started. It is fact and it is proven addiction leads to worse addiction.

Ahhh ahhh ah ummm tax ahh ummm ahh

Well then, when the "stigma" of cocaine, heroine, fentanyl, crack, meth,....and such becomes more socially acceptable we can legalize them too!

The stigma of those drugs will never die because they are too damaging. Marijuana is proven to be much safer than alcohol and should have been legalized decades ago.

Haha. I don’t use any drugs, that includes alcohol. It is not proven marijuana leads to other harder drugs that is a myth. What I can agree with you on is trudeau is a total joke and I don’t like him at all.

Hahaha agreed on last part.

Without anything to back it up....I thought people aren't mentally "mature" until they reach about twenty five (probably varies from person to person like everything else)....so lets impair that important developmental stage of our youths lives.

Then there's the argument about not punishing the recreational users because of the chronic users.

Kind of a no win debate.

Even people in "high" places tried smoking marijuana....but they never inhaled! No pun intended....

No one is saying we are going to force feed kids marijuana. Teaching kids the truth about marijuana is important. Trying to scare kids into not using drugs dosent work. The kids are going to be the ones who decide what they are going to do so let’s give them the tools to make good decisions.

I know a former very heavy user (while in high school), he would disagree that it doesn't do any permanent harm.

I know a guy who thinks the earth is flat. Must be true. He told me. Haha

Alcohol has killed more people, ruined more families and fried more brains than anything besides legal drugs. The side effects of alcohol and prescription drugs are monstrous. Furthermore, prescription drugs have killed many innocent people. But did ever hear anything like that about Mary Jane?

Why people need anything at all is the question but I did enjoy that tall rum and coke tonight and the cool beer all summer. We are strange and pathetic infidels😄

Sumdumguy I agree with you. We have a double standard when it comes to substance abuse. But alcohol is much more serious problem than weed. I don't encourage my kids to smoke weed or abuse alcohol. But alcohol abuse is ingrained in our culture more than weed use.

The greatest risk for most of our families, is dying because of a traffic accident. Many of which are caused by alcohol alone and combinations of other drugs, including prescription drugs. Saskatchewan has the worst record in the country.

Addictions are a mental health issue. We have tried to solve addiction problems by treating addicts as criminals, which doesn't work.

A large part of the opioid crisis has been caused by the over prescription of opioids by doctors. Patients become addicted and can't stop, so they resort to street sources which are now extremely dangerous because of fentanyl and carefentanil. This is affecting young and old, rich and poor.

Weed is potentially a trigger for mental disorders in the young brain and is best to be avoided. But it is probably less dangerous and much less addictive that alcohol. Both are now widely available to school aged children.

We should ask ourselves why there are so many people in our society that need to escape reality with alcohol and other substances? And I also enjoy a cold beer, or a glass of wine.

The best thing we can do is educate children and their parents about the risks and implications of all substances and be honest in admitting that we are all responsible in some way.

We also need more treatment beds and addiction programs to treat addicts.

We haven't been treating them as criminals. Drug dealers get smaller fines than a daily drug deal with a kid in school.
The lawyers and judges get paid to do a clusterfk job where nothing happens little slap in the wrist but they do it so they make money continual cycle drug dealers laugh and aren't afraid of ever getting caught. Money talks slap huge fines and it would have been a whole different story.

It is a proven scientific fact weed takes away brain growth in young people. Where are you people getting that it doesn't?

[the big wheel]

And yes alcohol is a serious problem and it's available everywhere right??
