(34,648 posts)You said it will statistically make us lazier and stupider.
I don't think it will have any effect since I don't believe non smokers will suddenly start puffing away.
And since the government is complicit in the drug wars I think they will say anything to prove their case that weed is bad and keep it scheduled. The government has produced many studies on various drugs to scare the population into going along with the Drug war. The prison population grew by magnificent proportions to punish people for taking a drug that might make them lazy and stupid, or it might be bullshit put out by the government that's arresting people for smoking stupid ass pot.
Gateway Drug. Wacky Weed. Criminalized Crack Babies growing up to be violent thugs. Bath salt zombies. All that stupid propaganda.
People that get stupid and lazy off pot are stupid and lazy already, it just enhances it.
Other people could never be stupid and lazy no matter how much pot they smoked.
Besides, how much stupider can we get? We have people in this country that believe the earth is 6000 years old and most of those people would never touch pot if their lives depended on it. Those same people don't believe in evolution, or climate change, or pretty much any science that conflicts with their worldview. They also say the same things as you about pot making us lazier and stupider.
I find that curious. I also notice that you seem to be questioning my intelligence. That's very amusing.
