Make no mistake, Matt is a talented, insightful guy (with a Notre Dame education, for God’s sake!). So I offer no opinion of my own. I only engage the debate:
LONDON, May. 1 (UPI) — A British and German study suggested an active ingredient in cannabis reduced symptoms in schizophrenia patients.
It makes sense, per Matt’s article, that stronger strains of Mary Jane can have adverse affects that the children of the 60’s and 70’s (you know who you are, LST readers) never experienced. If so, and it is proven that these new strains are worse than alcohol, then I will concede the point. But I am not yet convinced.
For those of you who are willing to admit the “youthful indiscretion” of smoking pot, I must ask:
– Were you a better driver drunk or high?
– Were you belligerent drunk or high?
Dare we experiment with the conventional?

As a child of the 60’s I must admit. I never had a DWS. (Driving while smoking) It was Toke, Enjoy and mellow out.
The Key word is WAS. MJ is not nearly as much a problem as too much Bud or Schlitz is however the Gubmint has not figured out how to tax MJ so it is illegal and as an adult I have to respect that and stay away yet the 60’s were still fun.
