Can you please show me the evidence of this?
Oh wait you can't because you make the logical fallacy of "Correlation = Causation"There is actually a very good explaination for marijuana use amongst depressed people...it makes you feel good.
There has been no scientific evidence to back your statement up. There have been plenty of proper scientific studies that show this.
I'll try and keep this light and somewhat humorous because I am not interested in a full on debate... so take it for what it's worth.
It's not a 'logical fallacy', it's not a fallacy at all. In fact it is merely an expedential truth.
If what you said was true then: You can't say that drunk people get in car wrecks at hgiher rates BECAUSE of alcohol. Alcohol just HAPPENS to be a factor.
The truth is that alcohol IS the factor.
Not all drugs are bad but I avoid them at all costs.
Those who are in their 30s and are avid users and have no 'side effects' are probably the more adaptable of our kind BUT it is not always the case.----------------This is not a debate on moral ethics for me... it's not a political debate... I simply think the majority of people are better off with marijuana in their lives, besides it reduces the chances of mental illness, why not avoid it then.
Do what you want, I'd vote to legalize it just like tobacco and I'd 'teach' my children of it's dangers... just like tobacco. I think people have the right to choose and that's fine with me.
My personal testimony is that my life significantly got better after I quit. I don't have anxiety anymore, my phobias are history, I'm wealthier, better Father, Better husband, etc...That may not be the case with all people, fine.
I encourage young people not to use marijuana and I have friends who still do. That's their choice... I am a true believer of freedom.
