One in six teenagers who regularly smoke the drug become dependent
It doubles risk of developing psychotic disorders, including schizophrenia
Heavy use in adolescence appears to impair intellectual development
Driving after smoking cannabis doubles risk of having a car crash
Study's author said: 'If cannabis is not addictive then neither is heroin'

what do you want me to say, exactly?

First off,
17% of teens?
I've personally seen many quit it cold turkey with no problems and not feel the need to smoke again.
ETA - I would imagine the percentage for heroine is much higher.

Didn't he say ‘If cannabis is not addictive then neither is heroin or alcohol’ ?

Pot is a lot like alcohol. It can have negative consequences and probably shouldn't be used by teens at all.
That being said, I'm not prepared to spend tax money to send guys with m-16s to your house to stop you from ingesting a plant that makes you giggly and hungry.

Like with all substances, moderation is paramount.
I actually see nothing to refute, but I am absolutely positive the study was done on a small scale.
Also, what is the author's suggestion?
More prohibition? Pot ain't goin nowhere, so we might as well mitigate all the "terrible consequences of use" and regulate it, huh?

‘It is often harder to get people who are dependent on cannabis through withdrawal than for heroin – we just don’t know how to do it.’
This has all the markings of a pot hit piece.

Last night Professor Hall, a professor of addiction policy at King’s College London, dismissed the views of those who say that cannabis is harmless.
Im sure his methods are completely sound. Considering he actively needs things to be addictive, and cannabis is more highly used by the population than anything else.

Seems pretty comparable to alcohol to me, as to the percentage of people who seem to get hooked (addicted? I don't know) to the point that it starts to negatively affect their daily lives.
At least from my personal observations.
I'm okay with decriminalization, though. However, I can't say it's one of my huge cause celbres either way.

I don't deny that alcohol can be (and is) bad for people if abused (as are most things).
I actually am not against legalization (on a state by state basis).
I just want some honesty in the discussion.

100% of serial killers started out drinking milk. Coincidence? I think not.

I wonder what the long term effects of going to prison for violating controlled substances are?

I am honestly curious to your personal bent on this topic.
What are your personal experiences with pot?
Posted on 10/7/14 at 11:06 am to udtiger
I am for adults legally using marijuana and other THC products on libertarian grounds.
I'm against teenagers using it on health/consent grounds.
You have a bunch of studies that show alcohol or prescription drug abuse is good for teenagers?
