Thanks R_D. And here I thought I had been around the block, once or twice. This is a completely new problem for me. I have never encountered anybody with these kinds of symptoms.
Though it fits with the forecast that social acceptance and legalization risked more cannabis-driven medical problems.
I guess it was so easy for many of us back in the day. The hashish was strong but just expensive enough that most of us did it only occasionally. The weed was weak; even the specialty brands (Thai sticks, Panama Red, Colombian Gold) were relatively weak by today's standards. Many of us went to a high school classroom buzzed ONCE and quickly concluded that it did not work with learning.
I do not know what to say other than parents should minimize the disposable cash available to their adolescent children. Shower them with goods in kind, if you must; otherwise avoid showering them with cash.

New York Reaches a Deal to Legalize Recreational Marijuana The move paves the way for a potential $4.2 billion industry, with millions of dollars in sales tax revenue reinvested in minority communities each year. The deal to legalize recreational marijuana in New York followed years of pressure from advocates.Credit...Cindy Schultz for The New York Times
Biden is whiter and older? Odd. Except Trump, since Reagan, every president has pulled on a joint at some point or another.
Man, no matter what the real story is, the optics on this one are terrible. But before condemning this as a big political miscalculation, where in the Democratic would pressure emerge to purge staff of marijuana smokers? What's the back story?
Dozens of young White House staffers have been suspended, asked to resign, or placed in a remote work program due to past marijuana use, frustrating staffers who were pleased by initial indications from the Biden administration that recreational use of cannabis would not be immediately disqualifying for would-be personnel, according to three people familiar with the situation.The policy has even affected staffers whose marijuana use was exclusive to one of the 14 statesâand the District of Columbiaâwhere cannabis is legal. Sourcesfamiliar with the matter also said a number of young staffers were either put on probation or canned because they revealed past marijuana use in an official document they filled out as part of the lengthy background check for a position in the Biden White House.
In some cases, staffers were informally told by transition higher-ups ahead of formally joining the administration that they would likely overlook some past marijuana use, only to be asked later to resign.
Some irony: Barack Obama wouldn't be allowed to work for Joe Biden.
