I wonder if the State of California and other western states are raising a generation of “brain dead” adults who are “sparking it” up now! Stay tuned! This might go down as the worse movement/policy since Bill Clinton’s affordable housing policy in the late 90’s!

JonasPWerner I smoked pot 24/7 for 16 years & then stopped. I could write a book about what happened to me after stopping, but the strangest was finishing puberty at the age of 30, one year after stopping. I still support the legalization of pot. And no, I'm not brain damaged at all!

Let's talk about how alcohol screws your brain up. Let alone kills many people from drunk driving.

Are the 'experts' gonna smoke it for 40 years, to determine this, or... nah don't care.

It’s wasting brain , memory and money .

LOL this stuff has been around for how long? And your so called 'experts' are only now suggesting more research? I think we already know the effects 😒

Just ask us old farts who grew up in the 60's and 70's.

I simply love this. The left wing media can convince people that everyone is racist and sexist, that group politics based on fear and hate are real and must be followed. But try and convince these same people maybe weed is bad, and they lose their minds :)

Marijuana is natural and has been used for thousands of years. How do people fight against it and have the audacity to deny it's relevance particularly in religious circles ? Sugar and meat have worse effects on the body. How many deaths caused by cigarettes and alcohol.

It also helps Alzheimer's

How about we keep running this stupid-ass headline year after year forever?

Addiction to any substance is according to individual. Blanket statements saying marijuana is addictive is ridiculous. I’ve smoked since I was 18 & I can take it or leave it. Any drug taken by kids under 18 can affect brain. Marijuana is God’s medicine for our planet...

Oh look. Some mainstream media propaganda. Right after more states just legalized it. Shills...

It’s nbc must be fakenews

The medical establishment is too busy with the NRA and pushing out opioids to bother with marijuana...

Also the photo looks like illegals crossing the border 🤔 Nature have been there before and it's going to be here now and forever. Stop being a bitch and get on with it.
