http://www.cnn.com/2006/HEALTH/10/05/pot.alzheimers.reut/index.html Ok this is just glorious. The headline: "Marijuana may stave off Alzheimer's"
I quote the following: "Those afflicted with Alzheimer's suffer from memory loss, impaired decision-making, and diminished language and movement skills"
I pose this question: have you ever been around a burnt out pothead? he already has all those symptoms!!! Look at Tommy fucking Chong. The dude probably can't remember what cereal he ate for breakfast in the morning. Pot doesn't stave off Alzheimer's, it just gives it to you early! this cracks me up, seriously.
Despite this opinion piece, I am actually all for legalizing pot. It's a stupid drug to ban when there is no documented case (to my knowledge) of anyone ever ODing on pot. Yet there are countless cases of people overdosing on alcohol. I personally think drug use is dumb as hell and would never smoke pot myself, but I also think someone should be free to fuck themselves up if they want.
