You know they could do actual real research if it was federally legal and regulated.


But why? That's propaganda. If it's "safe" then no need to "regulate" it.

Only reason it's illegal is because the government, police, pharma, corporations, dealers, brokers, etc. all make more money keeping it "illegal" so they can keep up the perpetual "war on drugs" propaganda and money laundering operations.

If it were "legal" and "regulated" it would make them all less money, and couldn't campaign on it.

Found the doper. Always the same propaganda.

Yes, but I think we're still on the upward trajectory of legalization and use. As more people use, more people will become aware of the potential side effects (cannabis-induced psychosis, cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome, etc.), which will hopefully lead to increased advocacy and outreach and, ideally, lower usage rates. Right now, a lot of people view pot as "just a plant", and may not realize it's an insidiously addictive substance with a very long withdrawal period. Withdrawal from even short-term cannabis use can lead to temporary depression, anxiety, insomnia, and irritability. A lot of people use cannabis to deal with stress or other issues that may cause similar issues, and may not connect the cannabis to their suffering.

The increased THC content in available cannabis, and the availability of concentrates and extracts, and the use of less-noticeable cannabis delivery systems (edibles, vapes) combine to mean that a lot of people have a lot of access to a lot of THC. This is already an issue in emergency departments and psych departments, and that isn't going to go away until people are made more aware of the consequences of cannabis use.

Eventually, the balance will stabilize. There will always be pot smokers, and cannabis has medicinal properties that can be beneficial to a lot of people with a variety of conditions. But for now? The rates of people using cannabis are increasing as legal access increases, and these new customers aren't necessarily aware of the potential pitfalls.

+1. It will take a while but the negative social consequences will eventually become apparent and at that point will there be laws to rein it in.

They don’t do the same thing so some prefer smoking over edibles.

Nope. Been around for a long time and will. I am glad it makes the pearl-clutchers angry.

What? They’re racists for hating the smell of weed? How on earth is that racist? And if it is then racist means absolutely nothing.

People are drinking less. I think. Maybe in a decade or two they'll be smoking less.


There are many ways to consume that don't involve smoking


Technically that's true, but not really.
I myself have experimented a lot with edibles. The first few times you do it, it has an effect but after about 4 times, it basically stops working.
Why this is I have absolutely no idea, but I've heard many others say the same thing.


I take a 10mg edible every night for a solid year now. Works like a charm. Sleep like a baby.



Hahahaha! I bet your memory is gone. Same with your reading comprehension. Good luck with that!
Not sleeping well is worse for you than smoking pot
