Theres a reason why my tone changed from internet lollery to serious. I think arguments against the relatively harmless drugs are silly considering the extremely harmful drugs that cause SERIOUS damage and even some pharmaceutical drugs that also cause far more damage than marijuana. I find it so silly that I do not care to develop a serious well written argument to it. I write in a style that reflects a similar level of intelligence as what I am arguing against. On the other hand when things got derailed onto the frontal lobe/ADD topic I felt the need to actually argue about it. I feel that people are horribly misinformed about it. Schools push the medications because it makes dealing with the kids easier, so people tend to only understand one side of the story. The schools could also work with the kids and develop their strengths, but doing such would involve a large investment of time and resources. But it is done when parents fight the schools and make them create a 504 plan for the student. |
Weren't you the person who brought up ADHD in the first place? Everyone knows that ADHD is way overreported and over perscribed... or at least i thought everyone knew that. Most parents don't care or overlook it though because they know it'll make their lives easier. Having a calmer kid that's more "normal" and less likely to act out isn't exactlly a negative thing for the parent either.
The frontal lobe is an important part of the brain. Like i've consistantly said though. I think Marijuana should be legal, I just think people shouldn't overlook it's negative effects. There are in fact legal drugs which are worse for you.
The problem is too many people overlook marijuana's effects because there are other legal drugs that are worse. Of course that's a big problem with the legal drugs too.
