As best I remember there are problems with DUI of pot because there's no easy test like for booze. Also problem with how it affects developing brains of people up to around 25. To be clear, I wasn't talking about the problems, 60 minutes was. Take a look at the show if you can.

The problems I did encounter in CO were stoned wait staff messing up orders all the time. That was pretty much every restaurant I went to. Also stoned ski lift attendants. None of they were bumbling or stumbling but they were pretty well lit. I talked to a few stoned bar tenders and they talked about how they smoked on break which I thought was odd since I'm sure they wouldn't be allowed to drink on break and work drunk. At the beginning of the week it was funny but by the end of the week it got old.

little surprised employers wouldn't make a condition of employment sobriety...It would make me nervous.

TW isn't going anywhere. I'm as disappointed as anyone, sucks to be down our best player for these next 4 games but on the bright side he'll be back rested and hungry for the stretch run. Next man up let's get this done.

Ty has given up 2 sacks in 300 career snaps... I think he's going to do fine

There is so much misinformation on the impact of THC, the drug present in marijuana. These are the impacts healthcare professionals are acutely aware of:

- causes slowed thinking and memory recall

- increases your heart rate, which in people with arrhythmia or pulmonary hypertension can cause cardiac complications

- increases your appetite, which can lead to weight gain if the munchies go unchecked, and of course weight gain leads to all kinds of other health problems

- slows your hand eye coordination

- The smoke IS damaging to the lungs. It contains some of the same chemicals as tobacco smoke, including ammonia, hydrogen cyanide, and formaldehyde. No study has established a definitive causation between heavy marijuana smoking and lung cancer, like is the case with tobacco. But studies HAVE proved that heavy marijuana smoke leads to precancerous changes in the lungs, coughing, wheezing, and increased incidence of COPD (chronic bronchitis and emphysema).

- The drug INCREASES the incidence of anxiety and depression. While it can help dissipate the anxious FEELING that anxious people feel, it increases the risk that the brain will chemically change and result in clinical diagnosis of anxiety/depression.

- Brain imaging of people who smoke marijuana heavily has shown changes in blood flow to the brain and a shrinking hypothalamus, which is the part of the brain responsible for memory recall and thinking. This basically just explains why the memory recall is shittier in pot smokers. Nobody has established any other negative impacts of a shrinking hypothalamus, but they haven't studied it for very long, either.

- And honest scientists recognize that there hasn't been a lot of study on the effects of marijuana. These are the effects they know about currently. There may be more.

They also acknowledge the anti-inflammatory properties, which is where the medical marijuana side comes in. But if you think that means they're prescribing that you smoke it, you're an idiot. It means they will find the safest way to deliver it into your bloodstream, and smoking is not the safest way. The delivery method most often prescribed is suppository.

By the way, COPD is a horrible way to die. Horrible.
