Marijuana

Office of National Drug Control Policy's National Youth Anti-Drug Media Campaign, warns about lung damage, physical and mental health consequences, and risky behaviors linked to youth marijuana use. Signatories include the American Medical Association, the American Lung Association, the National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy, the American Psychiatric Association, the American Automobile Association, the National Education Association, and the National Crime Prevention Council.

"We're speaking directly to parents about the specific ways marijuana can damage a young person's future," said John P. Walters, Director of National Drug Control Policy. "Marijuana is riskier than many parents think. Smoking marijuana hurts young bodies and minds, and more young people are in treatment for marijuana than for all other illicit drugs combined."

According to the American Psychiatric Association, marijuana use may trigger panic attacks, paranoia and even psychoses, especially if users are suffering from anxiety, depression, or having thinking problems.

"Smoking marijuana can injure or destroy lung tissue. Marijuana smoke contains 50 to 70 percent more of some cancer causing chemicals than does tobacco smoke," said John L. Kirkwood, President and CEO of the American Lung Association.

"Teens who are high on marijuana are less able to make safe, smart decisions about sex - including saying no," said Sarah Brown, Director of the National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy. "Teens who have used marijuana are four times more likely to get pregnant or get someone pregnant than teens who haven't."

Willy, about the kid raising a kid with pot in the crib....

Unless Jr. has extraordinary dexterity at that tender age, I don't think you have to worry much about him rolling a doob! It's amazing how some folks just get frantic when something involves the high holy CHILD even if it's just by association. I wonder if it would get the same response if some mommy put her purse in the stroller with hydrocodones inside? What IS the Federally Recognized Distance where inane stuff becomes dangeroo to little Bobby JUST BECAUSE it's in the same zip code? Concerned people want to know!

the boy's spinal cord was extended or bent until broken in a manner that is unknown by a pot heads are you all proud of that.........

[Mr T]

Do you care about ALL of the dead children, or only the ones where Google hits on "marijuana?"

If there was no marijuana, the children would still be dying at the hands of family.

Don't you care about all the children killed by sober adults?

Then by what you are not saying you don't care about all the children killed by the pot heads....

Mom arrested after toddler eats marijuana
A mother and her roommate have been charged with reckless endangerment of a child after her 2-year-old daughter ate marijuana she found in a motel room.

Twenty-two-year old Nicole S. Corbett and 25-year-old Fernando V. Booker, both of Manassas, were also charged with marijuana possession.

Prince William Police spokesman Jonathan Perok said the mother called 911 Thursday morning to report a possible overdose at a Red Roof Inn near Manassas after the toddler ingested an unknown amount of marijuana. Perok said the girl did not need to be hospitalized and is now in the custody of child protective services.

Corbett and Booker are being held without bond at the county jail.

Why do you think that marijuana caused someone to become so incredibly violent towards a child?

I think he was a violent person.

In your second post, the child ate marijuana and was not harmed.  This should be a non-issue.  Would you call 9-1-1 if your child ate an unknown amount of dandelion foliage?  No, because dandelions are just a weed.  So is marijuana.  The only reason the young woman called 9-1-1 is because marijuana is subject to a giant scare campaign.  "Oh, my God, she ate some leaves!  The horror!"  If she ate a zinnia people would be running for the video camera, hoping to win Funniest Home Video.

The marijuana is obviously non-poisonous, and now look at what has happened.  All of those folks lives are ruined.

The only reason the young woman called 9-1-1 is because she was probably high on marijuana that has effected her brain.. ;D ;D

     OK, here we go with another iron clad statment "The only reason the young woman called 9-1-1" WAIT!! here's something that maybe makes this a quite biased opinion because she was probably high on marijuana that has effected her brain.. . Yep, she was definitely, without doubt, probably high on marijuana.

We've heard all the horror stories of babyheart eating mothers and people that think they can fly. Mentally ill people exist outside the realm of marijuana. So do 19 year old boys that can't get the little one to stop crying. People are quite capable of horrific things without outside influence. People are also quite capable of being naive and given to panic(like the young mother) WITHOUT any thing in their system.Not that it matters to you but people under the influence of marijuana aren't known for violent outbursts.

Another fun morning shooting down your flying hypothesis' of fear. It helps that you don't know anything besides what you read in the anti-pot sites.

If you don't like it, don't do it. I don't like Brussels Sprouts so I don't eat them. They are of NO threat to me or the American way! See ya!  ::D:

Brussels Sprouts is not a drug, Marijuana users also suffer from severe withdraw symptoms when the drug is not accessible to them. They often have cravings that are uncontrollable and these can lead to results that are damaging.

Brussels Sprouts is not a drugReally? You sure?, Marijuana users also suffer from severe withdraw symptoms when the drug is not accessible to them.Well I better go score a fat sack for me.
