I’m noticing that these sorts of articles are always from the WSJ.
- sam345 3y agoYes we have a free press in America with diverse viewpoints. It's like rhe first schools that were integrated in the South in the 60s. One token African American in a white school was called integration.One mainstream national paper with conservative editorials in a sea of progressive papers is considered a diverse and free paper media. Besides that, I would pouint out that most WSJ news articles particularly on social issues are mostly liberally slanted these days. Any conservatism is restricted to the editorial side.
- kelnos 3y agoDo you have any evidence to refute what they're saying, or are ad hominem attacks all you got? Given the much higher potency of a lot of the pot you find in the US these days, the more-relaxed culture around it, and people's tendency to overuse illegal things that have been recently legalized, this result is hardly surprising. THC is a psychoactive compound... what do we think it's gonna do if consumed in large concentrations? I think it's fine and good that pot is legal in many places in the US now (and hope that only expands), but I don't think education is up to par. People seem to think "oh it's safer than tobacco/alcohol/whatever" and don't really think too much about their consumption levels or frequency. I've known people who consume so much pot, that if it were alcohol, we'd be super worried about them and want them to go to AA or something. And yet, with pot, it doesn't trigger any warning bells for most people.
