So I'm out of the business now and quota guidelines have changed to a quarterly system (?) so i could be talking out my ass.

Rubber stamped might be over stating but shipment reports from registered manufacturers are reported, audited and archived for a long time. Records of shipments are constantly monitored between the distribution centers. How much active ingredient was also explicitly decided by the DEA iirc. So if a manufacturer needed to increase it's output of a schedule 2 narcotic by a significant amount it must request the additional quota and it then goes through an approval process.

To go a step further and show just how significant quota is let me give you an example:

You have a shipment of product ready to go. Certificates of Exceptions/Assay/whatever paperwork you need to release. It's been transitioned to the distribution center. You then find something that impacts that material and it needs to come back to the manufacturing (gmp) area. Once that comes back into the facility and then leaves again it will count against your quota. If 100kg of active leaves twice it's 200kg as far as the DEA is concerned and you will have to destroy the left over 100kg you were provided and did not use.

Doritos come from a plant? Far out, man.

Wow i sifted through a lot to get to someone with this opinion.

I smoke often but totally agree with you. The research is only just beginning now that the ability to study marijuana use is becoming more and more practical.

You must not be American. Adults wearing DARE shirts are not bootlickers for the DEA. They wear it ironically.

Dihydrogen monoxide is a chemical so dangerous, it has both an acidic and an alkaline effect. It's completely destructive to the body. In large doses, it can kill a person in minutes. Smaller doses are claimed to be safe by the monoxide user community, but the truth is, it's a death sentence. Everyone who uses dies.

Here's 5 bucks. Don't get in trouble!

All of those 1950 -1970s Public service announcement things are hilarious, they go so hardcore in their visuals, there's a British one about not touching electricity transformers or something like along those lines that goes hard.

They're this close to warning that jazz causes integration

What lies? What "dirty work?" They're not giving the kids a script. The assignment is to either make an educational video about why young people shouldn't use THC (do you not agree that minors shouldn't use THC?), OR share a personal anecdote about how marijuana use has affected them or someone they know.

You say it sounds desperate, but to me it looks like a way to catch kids' attention and get more young people thinking about this. Submit a skit, get a gift card, be engaged in the conversation. Maybe learn something new. What's so exploitative about that?

Is it automatically "propaganda" to suggest that there's anything unsafe about marijuana or that kids shouldn't use it?

No he doesn't because trauma, aka emetional or mental distress caused by experience have nothing to do with it.

Few would dispute that the causes of ASD include both genetic and environmental factors. Indeed, more than 100 genes are known to confer risk1,2 and 1,000 or more may ultimately be identified.3 A wide range of potential environmental challenges have also been associated with autism, although studies in this area lag behind genomics research. A short overview of data supports genetic and environmental contributions to ASD etiology. A focus on prenatal events will hopefully clarify that the cause of autism, in the vast majority of cases, occurs prenatally, even if behavioral signs first appear several years after birth.

ASD is a heterogeneous disorder, both etiologically and in terms of clinical presentation, and individuals with ASD demonstrate a wide spectrum of abilities and challenges. While the etiology of ASD is complex and still remains largely unknown, this condition is likely the result of the interactive effects of genetic and environmental risk factors (Lai et al. 2014; Schaefer 2016; Tchaconas and Adesman 2013). ASD is a highly heritable neurodevelopmental disorder, with a high concordance rate among monozygotic twins (Bailey et al. 1995) and an increased risk of sibling recurrence (Ozonoff et al. 2011; Risch et al. 2014). ASD is largely not a single-gene disorder. Rather, there are likely hundreds of genes that contribute to its etiology (Gilman et al. 2011; Levy et al. 2011). A number of environmental factors, particularly during the prenatal period, also present an increased risk for ASD including maternal diabetes, infection, fever, and inflammation (Ornoy et al. 2015); maternal asthma and allergies (Croen et al. 2005); the use of certain drugs during pregnancy (Croen et al. 2011; Gidaya et al. 2016;), extreme prematurity (Johnson et al. 2010), and maternal exposure to air pollution (Raz et al. 2015; Volk et al. 2013). Advanced parental age (Idring et al. 2014) has also been associated with an increased risk of ASD.

Tl,dr; genetics and prenatal disposition are the only known causes.

What i think op describe is more likely the masking autistic people do which is a defense mechanism they use after living traumatic event.
