No Kidding Doc
Shouldn't this have been addressed by the Legislature back when everyone saw dollar signs?
- Acting Health Commissioner Dr. Allison Arwady said Friday she’s concerned about a surge in marijuana use among young people when recreational weed becomes legal on Jan. 1 — and the time to start preparing for it is now.
“All substances — marijuana included — have major impacts on brains that are still developing. And brains are still developing up until ... the age of 25,” Arwady said.
“Our big focus, as it’s been for tobacco, is going to be on youth and making sure that kids, their families, their teachers, their pediatricians understand some of the risks.”
Arwady said she was on a call with the Chicago Public Schools this week about education campaigns and school services that must be put in place in case there’s a surge of CPS students showing up at school high — or, even worse, driving after smoking or ingesting marijuana products.
The more scientists test and monitor long term weed usage, the worse it seems to be, especially among the younger segments of society. Hopefully, the studies showing weed smokers end up sterile have some truth to them.

don't smoke the seeds....
I think there’s a discrimination suit here unless they’re willing to do away with the policy of not allowing CPD/LEO to smoke. If legislators don’t think it’s a drug for civilians, why is it a drug for LEO’s or the military? The speak with forked tongue.
LOL. Day late, dollar short. Weed's here - has been for decades. It's already in the schools, kids are already showing up high. They're already driving high, etc. It's ILLEGAL NOW, they're not supposed to have it and do.
When it's LEGAL, they're still not supposed to have it, and will.
Forget wasting time and money on worrying about it.
Dumb down generations and create more democrat zombies. Sad. I dont care what people say. Weed makes you sound stupid and act stupid and Lowers a persons drive and ambition. Not a doctor or genius scoentist or payed off shill. I smoked the shit and its not good for people.
Anything, including water, if done in excess is detrimental to one's health. Is brain function not affected by alcohol abuse? So why is that accepted?. The government tried to ban alcohol and all that was accomplished was explosive expansion of organized crime and the violence they caused. Marijuana has been used for thousands of years for a variety of legitimate purposes. It wasn't until it was deemed evil by the media and government, who were both bought and paid for by a private corporation who saw hemp as a threat to their profit margin, that marijuana became culturally unacceptable. People will abuse it and suffer the consequences. A small minority just like alcohol. Marijuana isn't for everyone. Alcohol isn't for everyone. Firearms aren't for everyone. If you believe alcohol should be legal with the tens of thousands of deaths it is directly responsible for every year, then why wouldn't you support marijuana legalization? The federal government says you cannot posses a firearm if you're a marijuana user. However, if you're an alcoholic, no problem? Which of those two is more likely to be violent? Simply because the norms and mores of our society in the past have vilified marijuana is no reason to not view the issue objectively with a modern perspective. And just because it is part of the liberal agenda does not make it wrong. I would much rather see my fellow officers have the ability to go home after dealing with some shit at work, eat a pot brownie and relax watching some tv than hit the bar and get hammered. Marijuana shouldn't be a regular coping mechanism but it can be every now and then and it's a hell of a lot better for you than booze. The generations before us that built this great country did a lot of things right. The criminalization of marijuana isn't one of them.
The whole reason for legalizing grass and other drugs is to create more dumbocrats. Duh!
The solution is simple. Raise the age for legal consumption to 26 yoa. By that time the brains will be developed. It’s all about the safety of our children. If the pols can set arbitrary minimum age limits for tobacco products, driver licenses, alcoholic beverages, and firearm purchases all under the guise of age responsibility, then cannabis consumption can have an arbitrary minimum age for usage.
DUH!!!!
Too bad the ass clowns in Springfield and right here in the City Council only saw $$$$$$.. Anyone with a brain could have told you the dangers to expect-but when you have merit nitwits and stupid people running government here in Illinois this is the result.
everything is illegal until the govt takes it over and gets their cut, then its ok and actually good, let freedom ring. and they wonder why the less moral elements of society have no respect for laws. artificial construct by the man and all that. its no wonder the mafia built their structure to mirror the govt. after all, if THOSE men can sell dope and run gambling, why cant WE ? soon we will see legal cock fighting in underserved wards, taxed of course, and legal prostitution isnt as far off as you think. the beast is insatiable, feed the beast.
OT. Does the city test for CBD? I hear it does wonders for chronic pain.
Judging from the recent elections in the city, county & state, the brains of the voters have not developed hence the problems faced at the city, county and state!!!
Went to high school here in the late 1960’. We, junior and seniors were allowed
to smoke cigarettes outside during lunch. If your parents consented, sophomores were also allowed. Catholic high school.
It was the cool thing to do with about 75 percent of guys
Chain smoking.
The female high schools were the same. All our girlfriends
smoked too. If you were not a smoker, you were a nerd.
Then the heavy grass smokers came about. Smoking
Grass and cigarettes were the norm. The cigarettes back then were
Heavy in nicotine and cig makers had us.
Last 20 years the libs hit the new smokers with all their ads
To curtail new smokers.
I don’t get how these assholes make grass legal and cuss
cigarette smokers. The governor was proud that young people
Can legally smoke grass in 2020
Nothing like stoned teens on grass driving and having grass
Related accidents. The funeral directors will have a field day.
never heard of a teen smoking a Newport cracking up and getting killed.
Next will be legal heroin.
Both substances are bad news and when young the
Tobacco companies got them life long smokers.
The grass today kids is not the grass of 45 years ago.
No random drug testing 45 years ago.
Cpd will have to test a copper if he is over the limit. Lol.
It will be funny.
Many, well retired coppers cam to work high or smoked
grass while working. There was competition with drunks vs
Stoned out coppers on grass.
Let the mayhem begin. In 2020, grass is legal and
people applying can piss hot when they pull the hair
sample. They used a legal substance. Applicants who
Failed or used grass within a year of background check
will file a suit and win !! Back pay to to ease the rejection.
It will be called middle class lottery.
Heard a law firm is already in this game for kids that
CPD booted.
Lovey will finally have white clients.
S c c , The snakes at Loevy are now police supporters.
They need to send a nice checked to our sainted
Chaplains.
Half my family works in the medical field... they said don’t do the marijuana stuff. Bad news, but democrats want their fair share of taxes for what purposes, unknown
Drunks drive bad. Stoners drive recklessly.
Better add a few officers to Major Accidents. The number of traffic fatalities is about to double.
"Oh great."
"More stupid people."
Legal does not mean harmless. And the brain isn’t fully developed until age 25. If the Millennials aren’t bad enough, just wait until this next generation of cognitively impaired chronically stoned idiots step up to take their place.

No, but they test for THC. Good quality CBD has no THC. Unfortunately, you'll have no way of knowing unless you have it tested first. Or until you drop hot, but by then it's too late.
I think it should be a mandatory requirement for every child in the CPS and statewide public school systems to watch that compelling documentary "Reefer Madness". What happens to that poor piano player, being forced to smoke a joint in a closet before he performs, will definitely open the eyes of the young ones contemplating taking a hit or two.
And the money that's not gonna come from the revenue, you can but a dime bag from the same guy you've been buying from for $20 or you can buy a bag with Pritzkers picture on it for $40, where you gonna go. and whose gonna stop the guy now that its legal. In the end more people will be hooked and harder drugs will be purchased, and who will get the blame-white men.
Knock. Knock. Knock. That's my skull. I'm so wasted.
Name the movie. The winner gets a unlimited supply of my famous white wine spritzers in my pretty loft. Then you get to...
Kees me you fool!!!!
RDO = Bongs & ESPN’’s Around The Horn. Not taking the narcotics the med section Docs hand out like candy. As long as I’m in shape I had enough of this Bullshit.
Yes, nothing like legalizing a drug , enabling smoking, making it against the law for people under 18 to purchase the drug and then hoping for the best that their plan will not increase the use of the drug? Great thinking and especially in the face of medical research that shows marijuana use is harmful to the brain and development. Data from the states that have legalized recreational use of weed show that the majority of weed used is purchased from the illegal market. Tax revenues are not what they expected and it has not hurt the criminalelement.

Well, it would be a good argument. Marijuana is a class 1 narcotic and against federal law. Private companies can also drug test for weed and fire you for using it despite any Illinois legalization . Same goes for police.
How could you not want to stay "Stoned" in this Fucking Hole of a City ?
12:54- You're spot on with your comment. Thanks.
dead right. early onset dementia. see that in 2yr wonders.
I think there will be more love and compassion in the community when everyone is stoned or brain dead. Killings will go down and everyone will live happily ever after. And the very best part is that they my not be able to reproduce. That in itself would be worth it.
It will be just like boot camp. The monitor will announce at lunch “if you got um, smoke um”.
Do you want to walk around reeking of weed? Those people don’t want that chewable shit .Do you want your home/apartment reeking of weed? What kind of job can you get? Businesses will all need super umbrella insurance. Will everyone s personal insurance skyrocket , due to the excess of others? You bet! This was rushed thru by the people that love to get high.. too many people don’t have brain cells to burn. They are stupid to begin with.
Yet doctors pump tons of anti depressants anti anxiety drugs into kids starting at 13. I'm more concerned about this then pot. Had a call and the kid was on 4 different prescription drugs. What's that doing is a brain not developed yet.

So you are saying people will get back pay and rejected recruits will get hired for pissing hot when marijuana was against the law. Makes no sense. If a law gets knocked off the books , all those people arrested under that law would be discharged. Doubt that
When marijuana is legalized the department can have restrictions on it use by officers. Conditions and rules of employment still apply
Can you see a pilot say “it’s not against the law to use it, welcome aboard”

Your thinking is messed up. Always been double standard for police officers

Speak for yourself. Came on in 1965, was not square or naive and never saw it occur. Booze and broads, yes but not grass. Maybe I was in the wrong group but doubt that. We closed up plenty of taverns and each district had the police bar across the street, but that was it

Retired ISP here. Drunks are one of the most dangerous things to encounter on the highway. The stoners tend to drive almost too carefully, occasionally violating the minimum speed regulation on the interstates while trying to get where they're going. Texting is almost as bad as DUI. The roads are not safe, but I don't think marijuana users will make much of an impact come January 1st. Time will tell.
To the writer of the comment on 11/11/2019 12:54:00 AM
Well said. Pretty much took the words out of my mouth.
Same scientists that studied cow farts?
The doctor is about 50 years past her assessment.
In another 50 years from now they’ll figure it out all over again, but let’s blame Trump for now.
For these last 50 years Democrats systematically knocked down, forced out just about every factory here to keep pollutants out. They didn’t give twoshits what was being made, paint, window fans, leg warmers and even electricity, everything was affecting the kids they said.
If the lead in the air, the paint and drinking water wasn’t enough to alter the developing brains of kids, the parental use of toxic habit forming legal weed combos sure will, huh ? And only now a month to go into law it was never given a logical thought.
But legal weed equates to votes from the brain altered electorate.
And again, street weed will always be cheaper, more potent and readily available.
Not sure what the woke acting (interim) health commissioner is advocating here.
Implement an over 21 WOID - Weed Owner Identification Card, maybe a local weed ban?
Weed is bad. Guns is bad.
The ban on the AR 15 and ammo in CookCo sure had a great impact on public health.
Goofs.
If it means less dummies reproducing then let them smoke themselves stupid. In a few generations you'll have a lot less libtards voting for libtard politicians. The left is digging their own grave and driving nails into their own coffin by legalizing drugs.
As anyone with weed head friends or family knows, speaking ill of the skunky stuff is illegal and punishable by an endless litany of questions, offers, and "It's better than alcohol"'s
12:45
God I hope you don’t have kids
All of the thug life members are waiting for legalization so they can get baked.
Yeah, right. Weed has already depleted their brain cells and sperm counts after years of use.
There will be nothing new after 31 December 2019, just a continuation of the same.

There is still a violation of Federal Law. Read the State provisions of Illinois that allow purchase and consumption... or just toke up brother
Legal marijuana, sanctuary city, incompetent states attorney, a police superintendent that breaks the law by marching with protesters on the Dan Ryan, leftist thugs posing as school teachers. Need any more reasons to move? ♠️

I understand if used with pain meds it causes anxiety
Non-CPD is curious- will any CPO enforce the “no smoking weed in public” next year. Seems like that is already a big waste of your time even now.
Black market will be siphoning off state and municipal tax revenue. Does any state / municipality have the resources to go after the black market??
I don’t think the Feds will waste any resources to help the state/Chicago.
Sounds like a win-win for the black market!
Weed's here - has been for decades. It's already in the schools, kids are already showing up high. They're already driving high, etc. It's ILLEGAL NOW, they're not supposed to have it and do.
When it's LEGAL, they're still not supposed to have it, and will.
Forget wasting time and money on worrying about it.
<---------------------
This! Stoner kids are already stoner kids. 2020 won't improve their access, and won't make it cheaper for them. The dealers are already in every. single. school. and you can bet they'll give them a better price - what with the dumbass ways the state goes about it.
“I Know that dude.”
-Spicoli, Jeff
not just the federal drug law but osha type laws have zero tolerance for drugs no matter its legal standing. airplane pilots and mechanics, railroad crews and mechanics, crane operators and police officers among many others. legal or not, a lot of people will be looking for new jobs if they get high. its not descrimination, its called safety sensitive positions. no crafty lawyers going to get you reinstated with back pay and punative damages. wait till you retire or find a new career if you need to be high to get thru the day. and weed stays in your hair for months. just the way it is. deal.

Don't do it small amounts of THC in CBD I know a truck driver who failed a drug test because of it.
ride the CTA elevated. You would think that smoking marijuana in public is legal, that along with pick pockets.
I (like others here) predict legal weed in IL is going to be a BIG fail for the foreseeable future. I just checked the price of high-test medical at the Mundelein dispensary vs high-test at a dispensary I'm familiar with in Glendale, CO. Mundelein = $476 p/oz vs $200 p/oz in 'rado!
Me, I'll take the 17 hour ride and bring back enough to last me six months. I'll take in the scenery and maybe even do a little skiing while I'm at it.
As has been pointed out here, if you're a weed smoker here in the land of Lincoln, you already have a dealer and I'm guessing that his/her prices are closer to 'market' than what IL is going to charge.

It's all about the money it's always about the money. Legalize it and tax it if you can't control it. We don't care what it does to the individual it's the money we want. Just another Federal law to ignore and who in Illinois politics give a fuck about the law?

Ya, BS. Cannabis is not of the western culture. Alcohol is, and has been for 10,000 years. That's why prohibition didn't work. EVERY European culture grew up with alcohol.
THe French with wine, Germans with beer, etc. Look back in those cultures - you think great-grandpa smoked bud? Doubt it. If you don't think legalization of cannabis is going to up the odds your kids will be potheads your fucking whacked. Alchohol is different, there are repercussions - like a sever hangover. You remember when you were a kid who got drunk and swore off alcohol the next day? Numerous times? Cannabis? NO HANGOVER.

The majority of the weed consumed by folks in California comes from the illegal market. Legalizing weed did not put a significant dent in street sales. I am assuming the same will apply in Illinois.

I'm still prosecuting traffickers and can get double digits in western Illinois counties. Love what I'm doing and won't stop until I have to.
And oh yeah, The Grateful Dead suck and aren't really a rock band.
