Two Year Old Toddler Smoking Pot

Can you give me a link?

http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.232424-Poll-Whats-your-opinion-on-Loli-and-Lolicon?page=5#8171728

That's her first post in the thread.

She goes on for like 6 more pages after that.

Same lalala attitude and refusal to accept other opinions... yeah she annoyed me in that thread >.>

Psychoactive effects of pot CAN have long term mental effects.

Nope.

I challenge you to find a single study that supports this claim.

No such study exists.

You go on buying into the government's fear campaign - they wouldn't want you to believe a harmless herb they don't tax could be beneficial, after all.

In Holland, it is legal (and taxed), and there is a lot of research to support the claim that it is bad for your health, especially in the long run. Some of the research may even be translated.

I've read a lot of the translation stuff and it is more of the same from everything else I have seen: In pre-existing conditions it may lead to psychotic and development problems. That is it, the numbers show that it is people who already have the mental problems that are a risk of suffering 'attacks' if they use cannabis.

The majority of the rest of health problems, non-mental, that comes from cannabis can be summed up easily as this: You're burning plant matter and breathing it into your lungs! One can not then act surprise that the resins and other gunk found in ALL burning plant matter is causing health problems.

The active chemicals in cannabis, how-ever, are NOT harmful to the developed body in any way. The arguments against the developing minds still stand though, there is evidence you shouldn't be using ANY substances during this period of development to start with. Cannabis isn't some how excluded from that.

I found it already.
She sounds like a horrible person to me.

At least she's been suspended and if she carries on then a full time ban.

It's just so immature the way she blocks anyone with a different opinion... even when their post is more logical and well formed than hers.

 

[FinalHeart95]

Funny, considering no one has ever died from pot.

Ever.

Oh wait, that's right, it's not taxed.

Go back to drinking and smoking, people, nothing to see here.

Edit: Ninja'd

Sadly Cassita, you are right. I smoke, but I amke a note to try and keep it away from infants. YES, pot is bad for you t child, but what's the difference between that and the cigarettes you smoke around your kids?

No, pot isn't bad for you.

All of pot's effects are positive.

It cannot kill you.

You cannot OD on it.

Never has there ever been a study (of trust) that can demonstrate weed causing any harm at all.

Yes, inhaling smoke is totally and completely positive with no bad effects at all.

I don't care where the smoke is coming from, there's no way that it can be POSITIVE.

 

[Plurralbles]

why does it fucking have to be Ohio... Damn. I feel dirty now.

Anyway, yeah. Sad.

 

[Blatherscythe]

I don't support it but I do understand why some do.

And yet another person to block.

Boy is my list hefty.

Eugenics =/= freedom.

Freedom > everything else.

/blocked

Don't reply.

I don't care.

Wow my first person to block.

Eugenics = Less people with severe mental and or physical disablitiies born.

Comeplete freedom = Chaos due to no laws (not the stupid ones).

I don't care.

Don't reply.

Asshole.

Honestly if she really is and troll then that is the most successful troll I've ever seen...

Like genuinely. I'd be so impressed if she was found out as a troll. Currently she just comes across as a complete ignoramus...

Edit: Fixed the quoting... that blew my mind...

 

[DemonicVixen]

I have only 3 words to say to this..

Oh.. My..god...

I've seen some messed up videos but that was totally out of league.

It's a two year old. It's brain is still developing, and I don't personally know what it does to a developing brain but I'm pretty sure it's not good for it. You seem to have an agenda in this thread, so you're overlooking the fact that the child is still growing, but maybe take a minute and just think about how silly you're acting.

 

[Mcupobob]

But in a 2 year old... Jesus. The kid is learning new things EVERYDAY. And it doesn't just apply to 'book learning.' Studies done a decade ago on the use of marijuana on autistic children showed a decrease in both book learning and social skills learning: basically, what little ability autistic children had to socialize was being lost. I can only speculate that it would do something similar to a normal child.

Sorry to chim in, a study I saw found that Nicontin(as in they used the patch) Reduced the effect of down sydrome and Austism. Not that has anything to do with pot, its just I thought It was an interesting fact. Oh and I don't belive pot can reduce mental capicty but it can make it harder to learn and such and cause short term memory loss.

So again, toddles shouldn't be taking any kind of recreational drug.

EDIT:Some grammar kind of.

They've found dozens of uses for nicotine that are beneficial. None of them, however, can overcome the fact that its highly addictive.

I read somewhere that the creation of a synthetic nicotine that has no addiction would be a godsend to medicine, even if not applied to tobacco products.

Well I hope they get on it then. Find some kind of non-addictive nicotine that doesn't cause all that cancer and such.

Off Topic some more: Cassita was the one going off about how birthdays and holiday are just another day, shes that rebel that goes against society man! Give toddlers pots and free tibet. /sarcasm

Isn't this her brother, not he kid?

 

[johnsom]

so much for the terrible twos... Obviously its not a good thing to do.

Except mind altering substances given to a toddler when their brain is actually forming is fucking stupid and can fuck them up severely.

This. Right here. Thank you.
A toddle's brain is still forming. You mess with the chemical balance this early in life, you stand a chance of retarding them for life. Anyone who thinks different is a fool.

This is not the usual "legalize it / keep it banned" type of spiel. Doing something like this can and will affect a child for the rest of their life. I wish I could say that I couldn't believe people are this selfish.

My sister-in-law did this exact thing with my nephew. I'll hate that woman till her dying day.

GLORY TO FREEDOM!
GLORY TO EVERYONE BEING ALLOWED DO WHATEVER THE FUCK THEY WANT.
GLORY TO CHAOS!
GLORY TO ANARCHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh your type of liberals are fucking hilarious.

isnt it clear that this person is just a massive hulking troll. Just look at his/her argument styl. The person just wants a reaction, which what he' she is getting. Or maybe she/he is a pussy and cant argue. So they block any and everyone they tries to argue with them.

In what way? No drug "alters" the brain. What it does is stimulate certain areas of it. Weed is not a very strong stimulant, in fact it's a mild one when compared to other drugs and as such the "damage" will mostly be related to the inhalation of smoke. On to that...

Not to mention the fact that they're inhaling smoke. The danger of the smoke is debatable, but the fact that smoke is going into the infants lungs is true, which is still fucking despicable.

The smoke will not harm her now. The dangers of inhaling nicotine smoke are inherently long term. Yes, the toddler might have inhaled smoke BUT this is no different than the air she's inhaling right now. Remember all that pollution? It doesn't magically avoid toddlers.

Was the mother irresponsible? I don't know. Should child protective services pay her a visit? Probably. Should she be fined? That depends a lot in what condition the toddler is.

It is proven that smoking pot is indeed bad for children, as it disrupts their growing brain. This is why it is forbidden for all people younger than 18 in Holland... otherwise we'd have it legal for babies too.

 

[ProfessorLayton]

What, none of you have ever wanted to see a high toddler?

Of course it was a stupid thing to do, but Gamble was probably baked, herself.

Never thought of that, but you are very right. No person would do that sober... and they especially wouldn't take a video of it...

But yeah this is pretty sick... this is why we need a lisence to have children.

 

[Mikeyfell]

who recorded this?
they couldn't have thought it was a good idea
unless they were high, that might explain it

 

[BlumiereBleck]

That is just sad.

You thought that video of a two-year-old smoking in Indonesia was upsetting? Well, Jessica Gamble of Ohio has been accused of providing marijuana to her 2-year-old toddler. On top of that she is accused of using her cell phone to record her two-year-old smoking pot.

Gamble, 21, was indicted on child endangering and other charges.

Jessica Gamble allegedly gave the two-year-old toddler pot sometime this summer. Authorities became aware of the situation after an unidentified person gave them a copy of a video showing the two year old toddler smoking marijuana.

Gamble is currently in custody. She could face more than 11 years in jail.

this just wrong, so my fellow escapists what do you think of the disturbing video?

The video is not disturbing at all.

I'm too bored to look into the details of this story but judging from the I don't think the mother should be imprisoned at all. Maybe get a couple of years on probation (at most). I guess the fact that the mother is black will also play a serious role in deciding the sentence.

I started drinking coffee and OUZO* before my 10th birthday, and I have no health problems, nor addictions - actually I have developed an immunity to caffeine.
The child needs his mother, and I believe the mother can learn her lesson even without going to jail.
Thats my 2c.

Spoiler: *OUZO PLOMARI

Caffine can do nasty things to your nervous-system if you're getting heavy doses at that age, but if it's a cup of coffee, that's not nearly as serious. Similarly, as a cultural thing, allowing children to drink isn't that uncommon, and actually does have some benefits later in life. Statistically you're at a lower risk to abuse alcohol as an adult, and your body's ability to filter toxins is (probably) slightly better than average.

That said, this woman thought it would be funny to give her two year old a joint. You're right, the girl needs a nurturing mother, but as her biological mother has demonstrated, she needs to find a new one to fill that role.

Could be worse, my first experience with alcohol was at a Pentecostal communion service. That was the wrong kind of grape juice.
