Long-term marijuana use starting before 17 years of age leads to cognitive impairment and increased risk of psychotic disorders.

Marijuana is the most widely used illicit drug among adolescents and young adults. Unique cognitive, emotional, and social changes occur during this critical period of development from childhood into adulthood. The adolescent brain is in a state of transition and differs from the adult brain with respect to both anatomy (e.g., neuronal connections and morphology) and neurochemistry (e.g., dopamine, GABA, and glutamate). These changes are thought to support the emergence of adult cerebral processes and behaviors. The endocannabinoid system plays an important role in development by acting on synaptic plasticity, neuronal cell proliferation, migration, and differentiation. Delta-9-tetrahydrocanabinol (THC), the principal psychoactive component in marijuana, acts as a partial agonist of the cannabinoid type 1 receptor (CB1R). Thus, over-activation of the endocannabinoid system by chronic exposure to CB1R agonists (e.g., THC, CP-55,940, and WIN55,212-2) during adolescence can dramatically alter brain maturation and cause long-lasting neurobiological changes that ultimately affect the function and behavior of the adult brain. Indeed, emerging evidence from both human and animal studies demonstrates that early-onset marijuana use has long-lasting consequences on cognition; moreover, in humans, this use is associated with a two-fold increase in the risk of developing a psychotic disorder. Here, we review the relationship between cannabinoid exposure during adolescence and the increased risk of neuropsychiatric disorders, focusing on both clinical and animal studies.

Hmm.

I did mine right before Christmas once. I was there from 7-11am, and then they dismissed everyone.

...why not just leave on your own?

like, 92% yes.

I like my job. I finished my Masters degree. I have a solid, reliable income. I enjoy my time with friends and family.

It'd be nice if the girlfriend and I didn't have to do the long distance thing right now, but it's only temporary.

Correction: PSU and Lemon decided to have fun.
We don't allow fun.

Ok, ingloriouswho98

Doesn't that kinda defeat the purpose?

Before the inevitable accusations of modbias and modabuse start coming in, I'll go over the recent events involving PSU real quick.

PSU made a thread calling someone out.
His thread was locked by a mod, as it was breaking the rules.
PSU ignored this and went on to make a second, similar thread.
For this thread, he received a mild formal warning.
PSU ignored this and went on to make several more threads in rapid succession, calling out the mods and two more users.
As this is not only borderline spam but also breaks the rules he was warned for not even 10 minutes prior, he received a lite-ban for a mere single day.

I'm surprised he's choosing to leave over this, but it's his choice.

I'm surprised that he's "choosing" to leave instead of being banned for blatant rule violation and ignoring warnings.

Every child has a right to a mom and a dad.

I prefer to be raised by two loving, competent parents.

What if you're bullied at school over it?

Why would I be bullied for having parents?

"He took advantage of his power over me to coerce me," Jane says in an e-mail. "This wasn't a consensual relationship. It was sexual abuse and it was rape."

Anything to take the blame off herself, right?

One post and we're already victim blaming.

WOO!

How is a she a victim when she was part of the relationship? How does she not bear responsibility?

Is this like when PSU says you can rape your own wife?

Airplane.

>implying replies to your troll threads aren't also trolls

I wouldn't know. Online tests aren't exactly reliable, and I'm not going to pay for one, so...
