*Waits for furious potheads*

I'm almost no longer a teenager, thank god this won't affect me and I can continue to smoke every day.

Ok so a depressed teen seeks to remedy their feelings on their own by smoking some weed. This doesn't indicate that smoking weed causes depression. Or maybe depression causes a whole host of problems, one of which can be drug abuse. Which leads me to..



Ok so 8 percent of teens that smoke weed to ease depression either believe it actually helps or they just plain like it. I don't really believe in true drug abuse when it comes to marijuana. I would think someone would have to have some kind of obsessive mental problem to actually let weed mess up your life. Some people can handle it better than others. Just like how some are better at holding their liquor and not getting all out of control sloppy drunk.

The only real threat of weed "abuse" is those garbage random drug tests given by employers that invade your personal privacy. I can understand a pre-employment test, but if I'm not acting strange and doing a crappy job, then you can just leave me the fuck alone please.

Anyways, I don't believe anyone under 18 should be smoking anyhow. I've heard it can lead to a loss of mental growth in the brain if smoked while you're still growing up. This article just doesn't seem to present any strong arguments though. Plus it's fucking Chinese propaganda!

That article single-handedly lowered the IQ of every person on the internet. Is anyone dumb enough to consider this article to be factual? I mean, there aren't even any reliable sources quoted.

Prohibition of cannabis is ridiculous.
Overgrow the government.

You need to meet more people, but still, the smart ones are not likely to mention pot or refer to it in any way whatsoever.

Pot never lowered anyone's IQ.
