Sugars are addictive, Glucose is addictive, Junk food is addictive, water for some people can be addictive. Even eating dirt. Even Hip-Hop in terms of murder or rape could be addictive. Some say sexual “looseness” in television is addictive. Religion for especially cultists and general extremists and heart-hatred people as well.

Lets not pretend that for people who visit Clubs or Social Events that drinking Alcohol even on a 2-3 time weekly basis turns you into a drunk.

We live in a free society that deals primarily with self control. There is “nothing” in this world that can’t be turned into an addiction. Spiritually and by raw endurance is how you never make it so.

What we will NOT do, is make weed out to be this big scary virus rampaging through our community with the likes of opioids or crack.

I don’t even blame white people for the crack epidemic. If you “knowingly” will take THAT drug or abuse weed to the extent your a drug addict, then I have no sympathy for you.

Let the true recreational, completely functional drug users stand HIGH!

I respect your observations and find great insight and value in it. Your views obviously aren’t for everyone, but I hope that some will choose to put the weed down and pick a book up, some will convene to discuss deeper issues & plans and not blaze out. Some only smoke for recreation and handle their life’s affairs in flying colors, but some do mask their depression with this and other vices and have chosen this as a habit that takes up idle time, when other gifts and talents may be possible for them. It is a choice, and I am choosing to see the love for our people as alert and conscious beings, which is what I believe is the root and motivating factor of Mr. Anthony’s comments.

The article is basically accurate. And the knee-jerk, Pavlovian responses prove his point.

What the author didn’t focus on are the numerous studies (Northwestern/Harvard medical and so on) done recently by neurological researchers and psychiatrists, using the latest brain-imaging technology. In a nutshell, if you think that casual marijuana use that permanently damages the hippocampus is “harmless,” then smoke away.

When African American women smoke pot during pregnancy, and during child-rearing, they are perpetuating a self-fulfilling prophesy.

Fact is the Reggin is getting dumber by the day.
Most of them can’t study in school, so they disrupt it for everyone else!
He thinks books are WMD and won’t go near them. You should keep your money in books, where the Reggin is known to break into houses!
From the STDs his Momma had, when she conceived him, during a drug/alcohol night out, and 9 months inhaling weed, his brain is retarded by the time he is born. Then his Momma feeds him with HFCS (High Fructose Corn Syrup) products, which puts the nail in his coffin.
The REAL enemy of the Reggin, is his Momma.

I see people who smoke weed all the time and make stellar grades. Millions of brain cells die daily regardless of weed or no drugs. Weed is nothing compared to the stuff that is in these “FOODS” these days. Weed is not addictive… not in the alcoholic or cocaine way (physical need)

Marijuana is destroying black communities; especially poor ones. As if ghettoes weren’t already hell! I will disagree with the author’s assertion that “black are being shot down like dogs”: yeah…BY OTHER BLACKS!!

You dumb bastards won’t see the New World Order coming that’s for damned sure. You’ll be too FRIED then!!!

WAKE UP!!!Blaming cannabis for the lack of mobility in the black community is ridiculous.Black people don’t want to stand up because they fear white supremacy period.

Now that I have answered your questions let’s get into actual facts.Medicinal cannabis consumption and dosage should be between 6 to 10mgs.THC is a cannabinoid in fact it is one of many.THC is one side of a coin.It’s equalizer is CBD or Cannabidiol.The potency of cannabis has become so high because of breeding by growers who were looking for specific genetics that they found to be desirable.Cross breeding with other similar cannabis strains have created high potency cannabis strains.Rec users aren’t using cannabis responsibly.Once you are high you can’t become higher.I’m writing a book right now on African Americans and cannabis and how we fit into this new cash crop.Our group has a host of illnesses that are under managed.I hope to educate our people and yourself on the subject of cannabis.
