[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Weed is a loser’s drug. It lowers your IQ, damages your central nervous system, and harms your dopamine system, lowering your natural motivation and list for life over time. People should learn to enjoy life without needing mental masturbation.

Caffeine, booze, and nicotine, all in strict moderation, are the holy trinity of drugs. Everything else is 🗑️.[/quote]

Seriously? Are these alcohol and tobacco industry bots? Nicotine and alcohol are both extremely addictive, making it difficult or impossible for many people with certain genes to enjoy them "in moderation." It's fine to point out that people ignored the real problems associated with marijuana usage, but that doesn't make smoking or drinking any better for you. They are terrible and continue to kill and impair orders of magnitude more people than marijuana.[/quote]

I mean, if my cousin had smoked a bunch of pot instead of abusing alcohol, he probably wouldn’t have killed his liver by his 30s.  If that kid from my dorm had eaten a bunch of edibles rather than attempting 21 shots (yes, he was dumb), he wouldn't have died either.

I don't drink or smoke myself (losing a cousin to substance abuse will do that to you) but the hand wringing over Marijuana when we sell much more physically harmful substances in the grocery store just baffles me.[/quote]
