Legal Pot? Read the Fine Print

 And--as a public service--here IS the fine print.

...Colorado in 2009 became one of the first states to legalize recreational marijuana use. Since it legalized pot, the frequency of E.R. visits for “cyclic vomiting” in the state more than doubled. Over time, patients, especially adolescent patients, were presenting with increasingly bizarre symptoms. In 2018, a boy was admitted to an emergency room with a strange set of symptoms and was described as “scromiting”—simultaneously screaming and vomiting—for hours on end.

The boy was experiencing cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome, a condition first identified by researchers in 2004 as a side effect of frequent marijuana use.

Researchers hypothesize that “scromiting” symptoms stem from marijuana’s interaction with users’ brains. When a person smokes pot, the euphoric sensation they experience is caused by delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), a psychoactive compound in the drug that binds to receptors in the user’s brain associated with thinking, pleasure, and movement. 

While limited use of the drug in cancer patients has been shown to reduce chemotherapy-induced nausea, extended exposure to marijuana can weaken the brain’s endocannabinoid receptors and lead the user to lose control over nausea and vomiting altogether. It has become increasingly common in emergency rooms around the country, particularly in states that have legalized pot. ..

Sounds like fun!

...Beyond the extreme vomiting symptoms, marijuana use among teenagers has been linked to spikes in the onset of schizophrenia—triggering a psychotic break in those who may otherwise never have snapped, and exacerbating the timeline of those already disposed to psychosis. It also permanently affects the teenagers’ brains, diminishing their ability to experience pleasure and stunting their intellectual development....

That last part explains why Democrat politicians really, really, really, want to legalize potThe brain-dead vote!

Summing it up:

 ...In 1979, Keith Stroup, the founder of the National Organization for Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML), said his organization wanted to reclassify pot as a medical substance to use “the issue as a red herring to give marijuana a good name.” Oklahomans found out the hard way that the legalization of medical marijuana can be a Trojan horse for later efforts to legalize the drug for recreational use. 

At the heart of the marijuana dispute, in Oklahoma and around the country, is a dispute between two cultures: one predicated on order, and another on degeneracy....

Speaking of "degeneracy" how's that Homosexual Grooming, Free Sex, and Tranny stuff going?
