I don't need to walk under a bus to know it will make me go splat.
I know several people who use weed (including a close relative) and know from first hand experience that it causes paranoia and moodiness in all of them (not to mention the repugnant smell). There are scientific studies supporting this so it's not just anecdotal evidence.
Also consider this (specifically regarding autism): -
Quote:
There are three significant symptoms an autistic child suffers from, and these are problems in socially relating to others, qualitative impairments in communicating and restrictive repetitive, stereotyped patterns of behavior. Marijuana does not improve any of these symptoms. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, there are eleven research studies which suggest that heavy marijuana use, (defined by smoking marijuana for twenty-seven consecutive days or more,) leads to a decline in a person's ability to learn, retain information and function successfully in society. Being able to socially relate to others in diverse settings is learned behavior, so for a child who already struggles with this skill, marijuana decreases the likelihood that any progress will be made on the issue.
Furthermore, in a 1978 research study conducted by Paul Clopton and his colleagues on "marijuana and the perception of effect."The results of this study strongly suggested that consumption of marijuana significantly reduced an individual's ability to perceive emotions in others. Needless to say the ability for one person to perceive emotions in another involves empathy on the perceiver's part and for empathy to be present; communication also has to be present. Yet another reason why giving marijuana to an autistic child is a poor medical decision, as the likelihood of a child's being able to improve upon poor communication skills is significantly reduced.

lol thats a terrible argument. do you know anything about Paul Clopton and the NIDA? rhetorical question. they are both owned and operated by the government. you may keep that in mind

Those are some kind of terrible arguments....actual studies that aren't totally biased suggest cannabis can help with certain problems someone with autism could face. Also I seem to learn, retain information ect. just fine and i have smoked more than 27 days in a row easily...try about 2 years. If anything it helps my study and I feel like I can percieve emotions better when I smoke.
Whoever came up with those arguments seems to be basing their opinion of marijuana on propaganda.
