Separate studies have shown that smoking weed is not the best for a developing mind. Like alcohol, its better to smoke when you have finnished growing, However the chances of me NOT haveing a pre 23 smoke/drink were non existent.

Another study has shown that the use of cannabis in the teens can assist someone manage addictive behaviour, That is, ppl who smoked when they were younger will have an easier time overcomming an addiction i.e. TOBACCO later in life, I defn had an easier time getting off TOBACCO than my no weed smoking mates, as a matter of fact. Everyone that I remember trying to quit the ciggies back then are still on them. Except me.

 

So there are arguments for and against, everyone that has a positive opinion on MJ should get intouch with the news papers and respond to any articels they have written on MJ, always sound as positive as possible, Dont call the pollies a pack of self loving fuckwits, this wont win over a journo even if they agree. GIVE then a GOOD story and they might run with it.

Amazing the benifits, great stroy.

 

I truly feel sorry for the people that would benifit from medical MJ.

Its sad that its left to the underworld controlling the market.

 

When I was a teenager alcohol had far worse impact on me everytime.

Nothing good came from binge drinking, except missery.

 

Always like to see a positive news story for once!
