1 hour per drink (or so). But regardless, moderate amounts of alcohol won't really inhibit your abilities 10-15 hours later. Meanwhile, THC can intoxicate and inhibit your abilities for up to 24 HOURS. That part is science. Oh, but it's safer, right? False. For an average person, one joint (the quantity varies but on average amounts) is as bad for your health as 1/2 pack of cigarettes. Don't smoke it? No problem, you're still screwed. Multiple studies have been conducted on the long-term effects of THC on people- and it has been determined that it does play a negative role in brain function and motivation. Regardless of how it is brought into the body. One study found a patient that smoked pot from 16 (with parents permission to take part in the study) to 26 showed decreased brain function, decreased motivation, mood and behavior changes, and actually did worse on cognitive function tests after 5 years of using. This test was conducted on several people of differing physical and mental capabilities and proportions. All the results found that, to put it in lay terms, the subjects showed signs of being "dumber."

To say pot is harmless is a complete and total fallacy. It's BS no matter which way you slice it. However, I do see the benefits it has for medicinal purposes... I have a dear friend who's uncle suffers from MS and marijuana is pretty much the only thing that eases his pain without terrible side-effects. But different meds work for different people. I also see the benefits of ending prohibition and helping to ...

Science also said the earth was flat, the sun revolved around the earth, people of color were inherently unable to grasp things the way Caucasians could.
How much a stimulant can inhibit your abilities depends on numerous factors. Myself 1 beer can literally render me incapacitated for 2-3 hours. Forget about the next day. So that dismisses your "science"

As for the study with the 16-26 . How much was smoked per day, quality / THC content, how thick or thin was the joint, Was it smoked out of a pipe, bong, vaporizer, etc. ? ? ? ? Too many undisclosed variables to be a "Valid" study with scientific 'results"

Regarding smoking pot vs. cigarettes. Unless the weed is laced with something it does not have the artificial stimulants cigarettes do. Or i doubt the "SCIENCE" of 1 joint = 1/2 pack of smokes.

To say alcohol is harmless, is absurd and an utter fallacy. Puts both "addictive" items on equal footing.

I agree, different meds work for different people.

Personally ANY STUDY done by any group can skew the results the way they want. A classic example it any anti-gun org. They use the same BS as "drug" mongers do.
MORE CHILDREN ARE KILLED BY GUNS THAN xxxx Without disclosing (to their base) CHILDREN are classified up to 21 years of age, For their study results.

Allowing CCW will have the streets run with blood, FALSE On & on & on

To me the only reality, as oft posted in this thread is. COLORADO has now become a mecca for every swinging dick liberal, freeloading, mooching breathing body.
THAT is my objection to the whole Pot Brewhaha. We have become a liberal SANCTUARY STATE. How that plays out in november will be interesting, while sad to watch.
Hopefully this last attack on sanity will bring every R & I voter to the polls, hopefully.
