Years of Smoking Weed May Leave You Grasping for Words​

When researchers looked at the marijuana habits of a group of people ages 18 to 30, and then again 25 years later, one finding rose above the fog: For every five years of lighting up, your ability to recall common words slides.

Cannabis use may be associated with suicidality in young adults​

An analysis of survey data from more than 280,000 young adults ages 18-35 showed that cannabis (marijuana) use was associated with increased risks of thoughts of suicide (suicidal ideation), suicide plan, and suicide attempt. These associations remained regardless of whether someone was also experiencing depression, and the risks were greater for women than for men. The study published online today in JAMA Network Open and was conducted by researchers at the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), part of the National Institutes of Health.

President Joe Biden wants to keep blocking Washington, D.C. from implementing marijuana sales. But on Wednesday, leaders of a U.S. House of Representatives subcommittee released a wide-ranging spending bill would lift that ban, in addition to protecting banks that service state-legal cannabis businesses.

Conan Lived Every Stoner’s Fantasy By Smoking Weed With Seth Rogen During His Final Week As A TBS Host​

This is Conan O’Brien’s final week as the host of Conan, and he’s in complete “f*ck it” mode. He didn’t bring back the Bugatti Veyron Mouse or play the master recording of “Satisfaction” by the Rolling Stones, but he did smoke weed during a live taping. Not just anyone’s weed either, but Seth Rogen’s weed.

"The federal government's current approach is a half-in, half-out regime that simultaneously tolerates and forbids local use of marijuana,” the conservative Supreme Court justice wrote.

He's right. The whole "it's legal, but illegal" thing is becoming tiresome. Everybody in government knows there's no putting the genie back in the bottle. What, the Feds are gonna start raiding dispensaries wholesale again? LOL, fuck off. There'd be riots and whatever party was in charge at the time would eat shit at the polls.

At this point prohibitionists are like those Japanese soldiers stranded on Pacific islands, fighting WWII into the 60's. The war is over. You lost. Find something new to complain about.

Putin is a War Criminal
And the federal prohibition maintains the banks (including PayPal) fear of doing business with the industry and health care businesses (like rehab) refusal to include it in treatment plans. The federal prohibition does nothing good and interferes with many positive options consumers want/need. Put a fucking stake in it already...

The left should beware the Thomas (Trojan) Horse, there's Federalism inside.

His complaint had to do with the technicalities as to IF the FEDS have the CONSTITUTIONAL POWER to make a LAW the states' citizens have to comply with. The technicality has to do with the dormant commerce clause that gives the FEDS that power when state law/action influences interstate commerce. The FEDS won in Gonzales v. Raich by saying the state's medical marijuana law that allowed for personal growth can be overcome by the federal prohibition. How can an individual who grows a small amount for personal, medical use on his own property and consumes that growth on the same property implicate interstate commerce?

He's trying to put the genie power of the feds back in the bottle. The Federalist papers generally pointed to the clause being a shield that protects the citizens of the state from federal power. Instead, due to decisions like Raich, it's used a sword to get federal power under any conceivable theory of commerce being affected. (A famous law found unconstitutional under the clause had to do with school firearms. People possessing a firearm within a certain distance from a school was made illegal federally. What does the possession of a firearm near a school have to do with commerce? Since there was no legislative finding on the matter, the Supremes found it unconstitutional as beyond federal power. It is said that all Congress needed to do was add a statement in the preamble saying something to the effect many firearms can be purchased in interstate commerce, therefore the law affects it, to make it all legal like. )

I am completely in Thomas' corner on this and other jurisprudence. I just want to warn those who LIKE more federal power might not want to tout Thomas' position too much. While you might like it on Cannabis, you won't like it on Gun Control. (And, a host of other issues.)

HAL is a StarChild
I've been saying it since the mid 1970's that Fed should legalize it, which means they'd tax the sales. Seeing what one legal state produces in one year and extrapolate....the national deficit could have a major chunk taken out of it and we wouldn't worry so much about China owning that debt.
