PERSONAL EXPERIENCE W WEED SMOKERS: Marijuana makes people dumb, is addictive
TO: Don Hank
From: Dave
Hollenbeck
I dealt with Marijuana
(MJ) increasingly from 1971 on.
My son and daughter
asked at times--how did the kids in your high school do with MJ?
When I told them in my
day (High School was from 1955--1959) there was no MJ, , it was "Oh,
come on, Dad"
Our dentist in
California remarked that in College, you knew who was smoking it. Their
Grade points dropped one to three points.
I went to law school
two years. A Defense Attorney taught Criminal Law. He openly advocated
de-criminalizing MJ.
He made statements
like,"You have heard of a Bar room brawl--have you ever heard of a pot room
brawl?"
I sat next to a retired
crusty Admiral, no doubt out of the Navy for speaking his mind. That
attorney/Instructor declared "The only reason that MJ is Illegal is because
the
British West Indies
Company found that workers who smoked it were lazy, and their economy
suffered". The Admiral exploded,"Hell, yes, it ought to be illegal. We
have
enough people who sit
on their ass and expect others to support them".
I did my Thesis (Paper)
to graduate with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Criminal Justice
Administration on MJ.
-- MJ is ten times more
carcinogenic than tobacco.
--MJ destroys brain
cells at the same rate as alcohol
From that and talking
to psychiatrists, ( My son has mental health issues) if one has
hallucinatory or paranoid issues, they are exacerbated by MJ
use
Many people mix and
match their drugs with alcohol.
As a Highway Patrol
Officer, I found that:
Drivers that use
MKJ can not judge distance. Their pupils in their eyes can not react
fast enough to light change . Their Time-distance judgement is severely
handicapped
Hardcore users of MJ
have two very common dysfunctions:
-- They become grouchy and ill-tempered
-- They become grouchy and ill-tempered
--They have memory
(Both short term and long term) problems
