well since its a slow night...I'll start.

I find it particularly amusing looking at the story links that come up on that page.
For every pro pot story there is an anti one.
"Marijuana may cause mental illness" then another story about another study that "Marijuana Ingredient May Help Alzheimer's" which is a mental desease

So many other drugs that are far more dangerous and they waste our time on crap like this. My .02

In Tuesday's study, 21 percent of people who reported first using marijuana before age 12 also reported that they later went on to develop signs or symptoms of a serious mental illness. Those who said they used the drug only after age 18 had a 10.5 percent chance of reporting similar problems.

well, that research was worth however much they spent on it. they might as well have studied kids who started using bad language at an early age.

Alcohol before age 12 can damage your brain too, as I imagine just about any drug or chemical can. Big news there Faux. :icon27:
