Granny to the rescue! Print up a copy of this to show your Mom. Convince her that you are OK by keeping up your grades. It's hard to argue with a "B" average or above! http://www.cmaj.ca/cgi/content/abstract/166/7/887 While you're at it pass a few copies of it around to your friends. She may try the "it messes your hormones" myth next. here's one for that- http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/q...564&query_h1=1
All I'm asking is that you use responsibly! Some good sites for looking for MMJ studies is ccicnewsletter.com and marijuana.researchtoday.net Another way is to do a search on your subject (try for example- neuroprotection) along with cannabis abstract. This will get you a fairly high number of scientific studies on cannabis. Neuroprotection incidentally means "protects the nerves"-your brain is a mass of nerves. Approach you Mom with your collected studies and be calm and mature in your presentation. If your Mom (or grandparents) have any illnesses do the search for it, the way I told you (cancer cannabis abstract). The news about Alzheimer's is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to MMJ. Incidentally, I got my A.S. degree in college, graduated with honors (3.76 GPA) while holding down 2 parttime jobs while I was in my early 50s! I was stoned the whole way through it. Smoking pot and good grades are not mutually exclusive! Use a joint as a reward after you get the assignment done. Good grades are largely a matter of motivation! Be a good kid, Granny Storm Crow
