Wenk’s studies show that a low dosage in the morning of a certain canavanoid, a component in marijuana, reversed memory loss in older rats’ brains. In his study, an experimental group of old rats received a dosage, and a control group of rats did not. The old rats that received the drugs performed better on memory tests, and the drug slowed and prevented brain cell death. However, marijuana had the reverse effect on young rats’ brains, actually impairing mental ability.
Not to mention many states have completely decriminalized it, making it just a slap on the wrist if caught (if any punishment at all). The US slowly getting out of that reefer madness mindset that has so many generations brainwashed.
The only thing that scares me about pot is the chance it’s been laced with something, a problem legalizing would fix. I wonder how many legitimate medicinal purposes it has to have before NY specifically legalizes it.
Agreed. I am not going to sit here and condone recreational use, but legalization of the substance could yield many medical advantages for many people.
If marijuana is legalized, the people still growing it will only be doing it for fun, because it will be worthless. It would be like trying to sell your own home-brewed beer.
Why pay a premium for something you can do yourself for very little investment, rather easily. Brewing beer is more expensive than buying it yourself, growing pot is not only cheep, but would be very easy once you negate the legality of it.
I disagree. You could produce lesser quality product yourself on the cheap, but to produce something worthwhile it takes time, knowledge and money to make happen. Got a green thumb? lol
It’s not a small investment now due to it being illegal. You could easily grow pot outside just as easily as one would grow tomatoes or any other plant.
The cheaper and lower quality option would be to grow outside, which is actually a safer (less risk compared to growing inside) way to produce with the current established laws.
