-looking for stories about how marijuana use has negatively impacted your life
"I-I just kept eating. Just kept going. A whole family sized bag of doritos. OH THE HORROR!!"
That's not even a weed thing, that's ultra processed food designed from day 1 to be as addictive as possible....
Which is totally cool and totally legal
Not like it's a plant humans have used for thousands of years or something
Doritos come from a plant? Far out, man.
Peaches come from a can.
They were put there by a man
Wooaaahhhh
Well yeah, they're mostly corn.
I like marijuana and am in favor of legalizing it but lets not pretend its completely harmless. For example, tenagers should not be using it since it will interfere with their developing brains.
I do agree that this campaign by the DEA could focus on more destructive drugs, like alcohol for example. Not to mention the opiods...
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.
Exactly. The demonization of Marijuana by the USA has really pushed back valuable research all over the world, I hope with time we learn more about this plant.
Alcohol is worse for you than weed. But alcohol is far more harmful for you than many people realise. Being not as bad as Alcohol does not make it good or harmless. However, after many years of very overblown propaganda about the threat of weed the pendulum has swung the other way and no many people falsely believe all talk of the damage weed can do to be propaganda. Here's a good video explaining the topic; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBRaI0ZeAf8&t=661s&ab_channel=Kurzgesagt%E2%80%93InaNutshell
