Marijuana and the Developing Brain: Current State of Evidence | Uncharted Medicine
Dr Hansa Bhargava, a practicing pediatrician and a medical editor for Medscape and WebMD touches on marijuana.
The push to legalize recreational marijuana continues to grow even while research on effects of long-term use is inconclusive. At present, 29 states allow medical use of marijuana with a physician’s prescription. There are nine states where pot is considered legal and sales for recreational purposes are allowed. Another 13 states have decriminalized its use.
Should marijuana be allowed for recreational use? Do we know enough about its long-term effects, especially on teens’ and children’s brains?
There are some legitimate concerns.
Nobody thinks kids or teens should be doing it. Same as alcohol.
Yes….Why don’t parents offer up 2000/3000 of their teens and do a study on them from like when they were?? 15 till they are 55…Then wait what??? A decade and publish the results. So you will need a "Control" group. Of 2000-3000 teens and this "Control" must have none, 0! 0! Marijuana use. 0! For 40 Years. Then compare it to the Non-Control group and then, show the results.
Dr is hot
Ok you want to talk about kids. If it is legalized recreationally, then that money could go to help build schools and make the schools have better security and then the schools would be able to afford cops to sniff out pot in the school.
They can use me as a long term user "guinea pig" example any day. Test away! However I agree strongly that under 18’s shouldn’t be allowed to use ANY drug even if it’s a soft one like Cannabis. Young brains need to develop fully and shouldn’t be exposed to chemicals. In my experience, people who start using Cannabis in their teens can come unstuck later in life.

A drop in IQ… hmmm wonder how much of a drop in IQ comes from long term use of opioids? And who knows if this supposed drop is even from cannabis use. This is scare tactics without evidence…

Right. Dont legalize marijuana but alcohol is worse, people die because of alcohol, there hasnt been a single case of someone smoking too much and dying.
