Marijuana and Addiction? Harmless or Not?
Question by Giselle: Marijuana and addiction? Harmless or not?
I know someone who is 34 years old. He recently ended a longterm relationship with a dear friend who has a 2 year old son by him. The two were together for nearly a decade. She quit smoking marijuana when she got pregnant, went back to college and was trying to encourage him to quit as well since she thought it would benefit the family. He refused, said he was tired of her not accepting him for who he is and ended their relationship. One of his primary reasons was he “didn’t want to change his lifestyle”.
How Can Question #2 Be Revoked?
Question by hal n: how can question #2 be revoked?
i just heard the “governor” deval patrick, can somehow alter the legislature that was just passed in massachusetts to decriminalize small amounts of cannabis. how is this possible? this is a democracy… right? i don’t smoke, i think smoking anything is harmful to the lungs, and i have never smoked pot, and even i think it is ridiculous that it is illegal.
i am 17 years old, and i am tired of the minority (no pun intended) controlling the majoridy. seeing how deval is going to be baracks little puppet, and barack has stated how he feels about decriminalization, the worlds most useless governor will keep his mouth shut.
