> Yes, I do believe it should or at least decriminalized. There is much more danger in illegal drug trade and a dysfunctional uneducated society.
Once again, similar to what I said to the other commenter. Fix the uneducated society first. There are much more uneducated weed smokers than educated ones.
> Not any recent ones unless you're talking about youth. There are studies that show marijuana can improve brain function and capacity.
Erm... I'm a HN reader for 8+ years. There are a handful number of research papers reach the front page several times a year.
THC is able to alter the functioning of the hippocampus (see "Marijuana, Memory, and the Hippocampus") and orbitofrontal cortex, brain areas that enable a person to form new memories and shift his or her attentional focus. As a result, using marijuana causes impaired thinking and interferes with a person’s ability to learn and perform complicated tasks. THC also disrupts functioning of the cerebellum and basal ganglia, brain areas that regulate balance, posture, coordination, and reaction time. [0]
Marijuana has been even linked to schizophrenia development [1]. Let's for sure legalize it.
