Default NEW FLORIDA LAW

Starting 1st July

You can now keep your gun in your car at your employers car park ..

Battery on an OPA is now a 1st degree felony

A second conviction of lewd and lascivious molestation of a child younger than 12 by a adult is punishable by a mandatory sentence of life in prison with no chance of parole.

The amount of plants being cultivated in a marijuana grow house is reduced from 300 to 25 or more to qualify for a maximum prison sentence of 15 years.

and a few more ...

Cannabis does give serious side effects and it does frazle the brain after a time.It does tend to make people suggest stupid replies to questions aswell (having spoken to quite a few )!.

Not unlike alcohol...which is completely legal to use (responsibly) and a trillion dollar business.

Probably a lot less fighting and puking outside the hash house than the Pub on Friday night too.

i know several people who have spent the last 15 years getting stoned all the time and they are mentally ****ed

i've spend the last 15 years getting shit-faced and still have reasonable levels of comptrhension and can hold a conversation...

of course drugs affect different people in different ways, but I've found stoners to be less likely to have a relatively successful lifestyle compared to people who drink a lot

I too have known people doing drugs all the time and are screwed up- as well as people who drink all the time, f**k all the time, go to church all the time, work to all the time....and all are screwed up in their own ways.

A dobie now and then never hurt anyone. Dedicating ones life to the pursuit of the next joint (or whatever behaviour) is unhealthy.

I don't disagree that those who have been stoned for the past 15 years are pretty mentally screwed. And I will agree that I know many people who are amazingly functional after drinking pretty heavily for 15 years.

But what I think bears looking at is alcoholism ... I know at least 5 people who are, by their own admission, alcoholics. They all have good jobs, and are amazingly functional at times. But they are emotionally messed up and change into something quite different after a bottle of wine or two, or a bottle of vodka, and admit they can't stop despite the fact they know it's killing them mentally and ruining their liver.
