Federal Appeals Court Finds Prohibition on Medical Marijuana Users Owning Firearms Violates the Second Amendment
‘The Second Amendment does not permit the federal government to categorically deem all medical marijuana patients to be too dangerous to exercise their core constitutional rights,’ a lawyer for the plaintiffs says.
That's another one of those decisions where the court decided the outcome first, then wrote the opinion to support their preordained result.
Basically, this decision is stupid. It's like saying laws against public drunkenness violate Constitutional Rights to free travel. Constitutional Rights end where the individual becomes a danger to either themselves or others when exercising their rights. Being addicted to an illegal substance and not being allowed to play with guns is a no brainer. Unless you're one of the addicted.
I will not go so far as to say marijuana is harmless, but I have never watched anybody get smoked up and go tear up a bar or saloon or other. I was kind of wondering when I saw the decision if, maybe, it might open the conversation towards legalising Marijuana nationally. I think that would make sense.
I am also inclined to believe that marijuana is no more addicting than any other substance which will affect you psychologically. It certainly isn’t like shooting heroin.
I don’t know. They’ll issue us our marching orders soon enough.
I'm no proof of the long term effects you suspect. However, I made much better decisions after I no longer smoked the stuff.The problem is that there are multiple studies that say otherwise beginning in the 1970's and as recently as within the last decade or so. Worse, today's pot is a lot stronger than the old stuff, is more addicting, and carries with it irreversible mental illness in the form of paranoia and delusions.
It's not harmless like most people think. It's not even moderately bad for you like alcohol. The shit is literally poison that fucks up your brain forever even if you quit. The biggest obstacle to sorting the issue out is that most people imbibe and think that because it doesn't make them go nutso, then it's fine. It's harmless. Just a relaxant.
Yet just look at the messed up social issues of today in a world where most people use pot regularly and ask yourself if there's a connection. Those who use pot will say no. Those who know how bad it is either give up, because you can't take on the entire world by yourself, or post their opinions online to a readership that mostly supports the dangerous use of it.

That's because you didn't smoke enough. I have toked every day since 1969 and am now a Country Squire. Cheers.
The behavioral problems associated with the use of strong forms of cannabis are likely caused by methylation of DNA, which has epigenetic effects (turning on or shutting off the expression of certain genes). These behavioral problems can include psychosis, and epigenetic effects can be intergenerational.The problem is that there are multiple studies that say otherwise beginning in the 1970's and as recently as within the last decade or so.

Pot made you think you’re a station wagon.
