'Women tend to be more authoritarian than men because of our sexist culture' isn't a biotruth. They didn't say it was a biotruth, they were sarcastically saying 'biotruths indeed' because they were accused of saying a biotruth.

EugeneJ posted:I just found this - interesting Other people have pointed out men tend to smoke more/be more likely to smoke making it more of a relevant issue. There's probably some overlap with prohibition as well. Banning alcohol was a woman's issue because they had to directly deal with the fallout of any abuse more than men; your partner spends all the money on booze, is almost never around because he's out drinking, and when he is around still doesn't help with the kids/house because he's drunk.

"With less than two weeks until the 2016 presidential election, CNN's Dana Bash asked Donald Trump about where, and how, he's spending his final days as a candidate. "I think it's a very rude question, to be honest with you," said Trump, taking offense to Bash asking why the candidate was at a hotel ribbon-cutting in Washington, rather than campaigning in key battleground locales like Ohio, Pennsylvania or Florida." Tangentially related, this cat is a bad hombre.

Lightning Knight posted:So I'm not gonna claim to be an expert but I'd imagine that broadly speaking these are some ideas we're working with: Yeah I agree about second-hand smoke laws, I can just see it getting hairy with medical licenses. The problem with youth consumption specifically to pot is that it can have much more lasting effects than tobacco or alcohol. Sure, if you binge drink you can die of alcohol poisoning, and if you smoke regularly you can increase your chances of getting cancer, but there isn't that age-specific danger zone that weed has where even what feels like normal recreational use levels can mess up how your brain develops. It seems like a case where the usual best approach of "let kids experiment and make their mistakes within safe boundaries" wouldn't be good enough. Teenagers can't process the concept of "if you do this thing now you will regret it later" because that part of their brain literally hasn't grown in yet, and smoking too much pot when they're young seems to mean it may never grow in right at all.

FactsAreUseless posted:I can't say for sure, not being a big marijuana history buff, but pot has a pretty complicated history in the U.S. with regard to things like race and culture. A lot of the fight over pot isn't over the realities of the substance, but its cultural associations. Most people still base their pot views on those associations. Given that most marijuana cultural icons are men, I would assume it has something to do with pot's place in American culture. But I couldn't point to what, specifically. Women just don't have as much time to waste. There's a gender gap in tons of recreational activities that pretty much comes down to this. Even a seemingly equitable domestic arrangement between a man and a woman usually has the woman doing the majority of the housework, household management (booking appointments, scheduling repairs, etc.), and emotional labor (dropping what they're doing to soothe another household member having a bad day, building and maintaining necessary relationships with neighbors, extended family, friends). And most households don't even try to seem equitable.

Tiny Brontosaurus posted:Yeah I agree about second-hand smoke laws, I can just see it getting hairy with medical licenses. I'm totally ok with people with legitimate medical problems smoking as needed in public. I'd prefer if they had, like, an inhaler, but if that's what they gotta do, then that's what they gotta do. Doesn't alcohol do really bad things to young people's brains? I personally think it doesn't have to be "go experiment and figure it out." American parents labor under the assumption that "good kids don't do drugs or have sex." Obviously with variations across race and class but that is the strong cultural message we push. Then parents, who brilliantly told their children "just don't," act shocked when their kids do and do so stupidly. Parents and schools need to actively educate children that these are things you do that affect you at the biochemical level and can have permanent effects. They do so if you overuse them and you need to balance the risk of damage with the reward of substance use. If you use responsibly you'll be ok. If you don't want to use then don't. Comprehensive substance abuse and use classes should be just as vital as sex education because imo, broadly speaking they're fairly similar in terms of goals and outcomes. Keep kids safe doing things that they enjoy but aren't strictly speaking always good for them.

I literally linked the APA on this subject a few posts ago, boyo. I've been bending over backwards to make it clear that I'm not anti-weed, so nobody needs to get defensive about this. I want to solve these problems and have a smooth implementation of national legalization. Right now I think the trickiest thing is that we don't have good ways to consistently measure dosage. You can compare alcohol "units" in mixed drinks or beers, you can count cigarettes, but how much high-getting-ness is in a particular variety of weed, how the method of ingestion affects that, and how long the effects last aren't well enough understood for us to use our existing framework for tracking consumption of legal drugs.

It's pretty funny to see people claim high drinking age is why college kids binge drink in the US. Over in the UK the unrestricted drinking age (as in, when you don't need to have parents present or whatever) is 18 and those guys still binge drink up a storm. Though for that matter, there's a lot of ways for underage people to drink in the US among various states even though they can't just waltz up to the liquor store and buy a shopping cart full of beer legally. For instance, it's legal for under 21s to drink on private property without their own parents' permission in Louisiana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, Oklahoma, South Carolina. With parental permission/supervision, it's legal in Alaska, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Texas, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin, Wyoming. And in Connecticut, Kansas, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Nevada, Ohio, Texas, Wisconsin, Wyoming? Underage people can drink at bars, restaurants that serve alcohol, and other such establishments, so long as a parent or guardian is present
