[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Americans love to deceive themselves about drugs.

They pretended like cigarettes weren't addictive and were healthy for a long time until the bodies started piling up by the millions in the morgue.

They pretended like opioids weren't addictive if you had pain, and then they legalized Oxy, which is essentially heroin, and overdose deaths went from manageable to 100,000 a year.

They pretend like giving big pharma the right to market on TV drugs that are worse than the illegal stuff won't create a nation of drug addicts supported by drug obsessed doctors who have never seen a treadmill they've liked.

And they pretend like marijuana is some kind of healthy ass drug when we all know people who've essentially dropped out of life because of it.

and yeah, there's people who do every one of these drugs in excess who do fine -- and we can all giggle about Snoop and Keith Richards -- but that's not the averages.

Agree that at least with alcohol when people drink it everyone knows what they are doing (except for when they told us a glass or two of red wine was great, and it created a breast cancer epidemic).

Good luck all. Don't believe what you read.

I agree with all of this. It's really not just marijuana. It's this human desire to find a quick and easy way to deal with being alive, a state that often sucks, and then just finding ways to rationalize it. American culture is deep into its "magic pill" phase, where there is simply no problem that cannot be fixed with a drug. Of course this is untrue, and all drugs have negative side effects, including marijuana. But you are never supposed to point that out. Don't be a narc.[/quote]

As it has been pointed out so many times before, some of us use it in menopause to be able to sleep and function. I'm not going to debate with you about how I should be spending hours of my time every day on whatever holistic BS you're going to offer. This works and I see nothing wrong with getting a good night sleep. The alternative is much less healthy. [/quote]

I don’t think anyone is arguing that marijuana doesn’t have medicinal value.  It’s clear that it does.

But that doesn’t mean that it is safe for recreational use.  A lot of wonderful medicines should never be used recreationally.[/quote]

In fact, a lot of people are arguing the opposite. Have you even bothered reading the responses?

I posted strongly against the recreational use of marijuana but said nothing about medicinal use. I absolutely agree that it should be used medicinally. Prescribed and used. But not the Oxy prescriptions of the 1990’s.[/quote]
