Doctor Drew??

Dude, he is totally legit. lol

I watched that video. I think the disconnect based on my long medical training (watching ER and Scrubs) is the differentiation between using MJ and using MJ constantly and over a long time span.

My oldest girl is a modern day hippie. In some ways I am proud of her (and her husband's) self sufficiency, lack of materialism, etc. They also partake of MJ on a constant basis at times throughout life. She needs it to get up, to get energy, to get to sleep, to ease anxiety, blah blah blah. If someone used any substance as consistently and needfully I would question whether they had a problem. Note I avoided the addiction word and went for the softer "problem" word.

I wonder watching her (and others I know) if it is the proverbial chicken and the egg. She thinks it helps with her anxiety, I sometimes wish she would wean herself off all the weed and see where her anxiety baseline is with nothing polluting her system.

I certainly watch them exhibit nearly zero drive. He is a smart guy with tons of potential and instead he works at a basically licensed electrician level but can't seem to quite get the motivation to take the certification exams. Are they lazy or is the pot enhancing their built in tendencies? Don't know.

I am not an addictive personality at all. I think if weed was legal and I wanted to use it that it would basically be side effect free for me. I think if I used it multiple times a day that above statement would perhaps not be true. My wife uses it to get a good nights sleep which has eluded her for the quarter century that we have been married. A little bit to let her sleep has been a "miracle drug" for her. I have seen its benefits first hand, ok maybe second hand (I have never touched the stuff and honestly have no desire to try either, not judgementally just have no interest personally)

Call me simple but I think the Bible got it right about moderation. There is a reason order and moderation and limits are repeated multiple times. I think the best thing in the world can be overused to the point that they cause problems, which might be part of the science that is out there.

I will say this. Marijuana use by adults (not kids or developing young adults) in a reasonable (moderation) manner is the safest mood altering substance available is a correct and truthful statement. Yet you shouldn't drive or stab your boyfriend with a bread knife while under its influence.

The Twinkie Defense

My most ridiculous OMVI arrest defense by an actual attorney:
I was not able to smell alcohol on the driver.... Because he was eating a cheeseburger when I stopped him.
Went all the way up to our appellate court. Conviction upheld!

Pure insanity but sadly no surprise for that state and it's liberal ways.
