It will then decline
In Europe in countries where marijuana use is legal it's use spiked for the first few years and then declined steadily.In Portugal,young people have very low marijuana use.It seems that once it's a legal substance with no penalty the young lose interest.What a surprise.
In reply to It will then decline by sicntired (not verified)
yup...
typical post prohibition behavior...same thing happened after alcohol prohibition was lifted...
"war on drugs"
Marijuana vs Morphine
I've been on one type of morphine or another for Fibromyalgia since 2000. I am up to 300 mg daily, Valium, Zanaflex, 2 different kinds of anti-depressants as well as a sleeping pill and cholesterol. I smoked for recreation from 1973-2000 and then quit. Funny that when I quit the pot the pain starts & I have to go onto harder drugs. In September, my life started falling apart; husband has brain fistulas & is about to go in for his 3rd surgery, he's not been to work since June, 2010 so we've had to learn to live on a lot less money as I am on SSDI. Both my kids are getting divorced & our daughter & her 2 little ones have moved in with us, we lost my husband's mother to lung cancer in Sept & my mom had cancer surgery in Sept. So anyway I started smoking again (this was before the valium) and of course popped on a UA at my pain drs. Well, so far I haven't passed one since, so imagine she will let me go in January. I've about decided to go back to what worked -- that's smoking pot. I can usually smoke a joint a day & it helps my pain, stress, anxiety & it's a heck of a lot cheaper. I wish Oklahoma would just come out of the dark ages & decriminalize it for medical use!!!
I also wonder what all the harder drugs that I am on are affecting me; I imagine it's a lot more than marijuana would!
