@chrislantzster @Jaredduke8 @MikeFB1234 @CTVNews Don't be silly. Conservatism is a political and social philosophy with so many nuances no dictionary even begins to describe it. Liberal, on the other hand, is a mental disorder classified as such in the American Journal of Psychiatry: 10.1001/jamapsychiatry.2015.3278.

@Vivi2deAbril @HombreeGris Vivi, acá tenés el paper completo al que hace referencia el CDC. Fijate que desarrollar esquizofrenia a largo plazo está asociado a antecedentes familiares/genéticos. Sin intentar entrar en un reduccionismo, es un agravante, más que una causa directa https://t.co/5JqdfputWZ

@LIFOMichael @CatoInstitute Here's a start. It's simply false that no study shows harm to the brain. It's an open question as to the type, longevity, and amount. That's why I don't want to debate it. https://t.co/vKPzZPxRe4

@murajayjay @mill_ena_ @toddystrond @AlessandroPT89 @anakp_ Diversos estudos sugerem que uso de maconha pode causar comprometimento funcional nas capacidades cognitivas, mas a intensidade e duração dos efeitos depende da idade que a pessoa iniciou o uso, quanto ela usou e por quanto tempo. https://t.co/voP6CCEWup

@OlofRhodin @troed @dunkelgra @fritidsjuristen Skulle nästan gå så långt så jag kan säga att det är den samlade bilden. Finns ganska mycket forskning i ämnet. Men du kan börja med: "Effects of cannabis use on human behavior, including cognition, motivation, and psychosis: a review."
