codymonster 8,898 Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Very good idea. Pot ****s with the brain, and when a brain is still developing, it can do a lot of long term damage. I'm glad they are keeping this in mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Economy 52,844 Posted September 24, 2018 Author Share Posted September 24, 2018 I find it ironic that Canada's most conservative Province (Alberta) will have the lowest age and Quebec one of the most Liberal will have the oldest age Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work in the Marijuana industry and words like "Cannabis" "Marijuana" are more preffered that that word. Everything is derogatory in this society these days Anyway, if it's a problem, I will say "cannabis" then. I wasn't even aware it was a thing everyone I know has been saying pot for time. When did it become taboo to say that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Children who are 5 years old or 7 years old who have seizures or cancer are treated with THC and CBD and 99% of the time shows progress to total resolution. You wanna know what messes with the brain? Alcohol, Cigarettes, Fast food, Red Meat, Pork, Cow Milk etc which deteriorates the brain and the pineal gland located at the center of the brain. Cannabis benefits the body.

If you live in the USA and say POT it kinda urkes people more than if you say CANNABIS or MARIJUANA. Oh lord - this is when I draw the line with sensitivity. If you are offended that people call a medicinal plant a different name.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some studies have suggested otherwise One study even showed results that those who start smoking it under 16 are 4X more likely to develop schizophrenia Now yes a few studies don't prove it because there's always possible variables that may affect results but it's still under debate.

While I agree that those have effects on the body, you can't say Cannabis unequivocally "benefits the body". Like any other chemical you ingest or inhale, it can have negative long-term effects. If you do a simple google search about the long-term effects that cannabis (since we can't call it pot I guess) has on one's brain, you'll find plenty of support that it can have serious detrimental side effects.
