Well they wanted a cute kid to match their prom dress and lock down their man. When none of that works out well it's like winning a goldfish at a carnival. You don't really have a tank or food for it so you hope a plant vase and some crushed Doritos do the trick.

And I used to drink coffee as a kid.

I think a lot of parents see it as not much different than soda though, tbh.

A lot of parents aren't really parenting but trying to be their best friend. "I'll be the cool parent and let them do what they want" but that just means you're not being a parent. Quite often they're not even being provided for

When mixed with alcohol or they have serious sensitivity to caffiene.

Your argument is akin to banning cold medicine because mixing it with shit will fuck you up, or banning peanuts because some people are allergic.

The idea that smart people at one point outnumbered the dumb ones... Yeah, no.

Oh, well fair enough. Still, I think it's hard to argue that our governments haven't tried to regulate against handing out Darwin awards to our dullest stars.

energy drinks can be very dangerous in high quantities...

whereas pot has been proven to cure pretty much everything.

So, if anything, you SHOULD have them both together... the pot cures the caffeine burnout

Because it's a fallacious attack. I have to prove I, a 26 year old, aren't 16 to buy energy drinks because the UK loves it's moral crusades based on nothing.

It's not some magic cure all, but it's not harmful either and I absolutely despise overregulation particularly from a puritanical "for your own good" stance.

Yes, except in the case of energy drinks anything more than zero is overconsumption.

Smoking pot isn't healthy as you think. Some side effects include:

Lowers IQ points
Breathing problems
Increased risk of heart attack and stroke
Inhibits sexual functions
Decreased memory
Decreased cognitive functions

There's a lot more. Don't have the time or the space to list them all

Inhibits sexual functions


My ass. Marijuana makes me horny as hell and everything seems to work better.

I've been on basically every side of the debate over weed. I was a teetotaler as a kid in spite of my parents being avid smokers. My mom would always try to make me smoke with her, especially when I was miserable and hysterical, but it just made me angry. Of course once it was legal and I tried it, I was hooked. It being good for my MS is nice but that's sort of a bonus. I just love me some weed. Though I AM glad I didn't use it as a teenager since all of that stuff is indeed bad for developing brains.

It really annoys me when people go stretching for every possible reason marijuana can be bad for a person, likely or not. But it also annoys me when people act like it's 100% safe, or when people claim it's the cure for everything. Marijuana does not cure ANYTHING. It's a treatment, not a cure.

There are so many substances that could inhibit the development of a teenager's brain that to single out marijuana (the least detrimental of them all) is ridiculous.

I don't think developing teens should smoke marijuana regularly but I do think the cannabis plant should be a more regular part of our lives in many, many more ways than getting high.
