Topic: Confirmed: Smoking POT/MARIJUANA isn't harmless
+Syntax — 9.6 years ago #46,075
A definitive 20-year study into the effects of long-term cannabis use has demolished the argument that the drug is safe.
* One in six teenagers who regularly smoke the drug become dependent
* It doubles risk of developing psychotic disorders, including schizophrenia
* use in adolescence appears to impair intellectual development
* Driving after smoking cannabis doubles risk of having a car crash
* Study's author said: 'If cannabis is not addictive then neither is heroin'
Cannabis is highly addictive, causes mental health problems and opens the door to hard drugs, the study found.

Hahahaha
"However, a large case-control study conducted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) found no significant increased crash risk attributable to cannabis after controlling for drivers’ age, gender, race, and presence of alcohol."
So basically people who get into crashes often have THC in their system but it's the alcohol they mix it with that impairs them.
The fucking government themselves have released a study proving driving stoned is almost safer than driving sober: http://www.cnn.com/2015/06/24/politics/marijuana-study-drivers-impact/index.html
Researchers said alcohol "significantly increased lane departures/minimum and maximum lateral acceleration; these measures were not sensitive to cannabis." Researchers also concluded Cannabis-influenced drivers "may attempt to drive more cautiously to compensate for impairing effects, whereas alcohol-influenced drivers often underestimate their impairment and take more risk."
