Just because you don’t agree doesn’t mean you should be condescending. Alcohol consumption is unhealthy yes. But with the new level of potency of marijuana, even casual use will probably have adverse effects. I’m curious to see what studies show in 20 years. My opinion is that if you need to take any substance to relax or relieve stress, it’s not a healthy coping mechanism.

Not every thread, and it isn’t passive. I think there’s an anti-pot bias with a lot of people who for some reason think alcohol is just fine. Just look at the biggest spenders trying to keep pot illegal.

Why are you so passively condescending in every thread?

Getting high is the same as getting drunk. Getting high daily is not casual use. You may not be aware but you can partake in pot without getting high these days. It can take the edge off without you getting impaired. It even serves far more practical applications as an analgesic.

Interesting point. I too am in the medical field. While I wouldn’t condone the use of either. I can tell you for a fact we spend billions of dollars in this country due to alcohol abuse. It’s a killer We really don’t spend any because of marijuana abuse But I do understand there is a cost to be paid for both I do think it’s funny when people try to paint one of the other as being better because it’s legal or or better because it’s less harmful to the body Not sure either is true

1 hour ago, Oldest Horn said: So, not a casual user. More like someone who gets drunk daily. No, that is an abuser. Not someone like me who drinks a beer or two with my meal each day like many Europeans do. So far, my liver and chemistry are clean of any effects because the alcohol metabolizes so quickly and leaves no permanent damage that is either measurable or observable. Alcohol is not fat-soluble, so it is not stored in the brain like the narcotics and other chemicals in marijuana.

Prayers for your Mom and the family.

Moms are the best. Miss mine. You got it.

Prayers for your mother and family also for a quick and speedy recovery. 🙏

I’m looking for 2 tickets for this weekend vs. Tennessee, any leads are much appreciated.

David Punch can see correctly now too. I am shocked TCU didn't fix that issue.

Prayers for mom and family ! 🙏

So not a casual user. Kind of like someone getting drunk daily.

Absolutely. If I can anything else for you, let me know.

Prayers for her! Thank you for sharing!

Prayers up 🙏

Prayers for you and your family

Sure, below are some articles on the growing evidence. Now there is one caveat. These studies apply to regular, habitual users (daily), not to people who only smoked (or ate it) it occasionally, as most of us kids in the 70s did. Not only were our tokes infrequent due to strict laws and lack of supply, but it pot was 10x less potent than it is today. Also, in no way am I saying that pot is more harmful than alcohol because the medical experts that quantify all the harmful effects of mentally altering substances say alcohol has potentially more dangerous effects on the body if abused than does marijuana. I'm just saying some studies are now showing that marijuana is not without long-term risks, even for the casual daily user: cognitively, psychologically, and physically (pneumo). And the secondhand smoke is harmful to others, just as with cigarette smoke.

Sending all the love and positive energy to your mom. SHE GOT THIS!!! Show her the 4th quarter of the Ohio State game before the surgery to remind her of TEXAS FIGHT

I don’t think so. His offense still plays in today’s game. He didn’t have good enough players at the end. I’d like to see us incorporate his hurry up offense every now and then to change things up. He’s as good as there is at the hurry up no huddle offense. I’m not saying stay in that all the time but occasionally go into it. It helps so defenses can’t substitute. We aren’t hiring Gundy but this is just good message board talk.
