Whether it is good or bad depends on the role of the smoker.
Bill Gates might have said weeds were good for him. But he would
not likely want the assembly language programmers to be under
the influence of marijuana when debugging MS-DOS..
I would not care if my MPA smokes pot but I certainly hope
the pilot in my flight or the surgeon operating on my prostate
to be wholesome non-smokers.
Yup. Time and place. Moderation. Responsibility while using.
Just like any other recreational activity. Drinking, sex (like porn, this industry etc)
I realize it's easily accessible right now and it's not yet legalized. But should it be easily accessible? I can drink 3 beers in an hour and not feel a thing. I take 2 or 3 hits of a joint and I'm high as a kite for 30-45 minutes. You can't compare the two. Weed today is SO strong. I ate 1/3 of an edible brownie at a BBQ last year and I was paralyzed in my chair for 2 hours. I couldn't formulate a sentence, I couldn't stand up, I could barely put a bottle to my mouth to drink. We legalize this stuff it only gets stronger.
I get that many responsible everyday folks like to sit back, light up a joint and relax. Listen to some tunes, watch a movie, have sex whatever. Are they criminals - of course not. But there are far too many people who chronically smoke multiple times a day. They are generally younger (under 25), unemployed or part time employed. Aren't active, play video games for hours and have no drive. Is this the generation we want to take over once we are older and need care? I find that a scary proposition.
That's you. That's them. Younger crowds are drinking energy drinks to stay awake playing those games. You can drink 3 beers and be fine, I couldn't. I will be plastered.
I could smoke 3 joints in an hour and be fine. So itnis yo to you - the person.
And for some people - they need to smoke all day or they can't function. From pain to stress and axienty. It has been proven the benefits for some people. CBD oil for save and life saving for children.
Other then a glass of wine a day - I have never heard of the medical benefits from alcohol. just sayin'.
Seem more like you are being a hater to something you don't know or affects you differently. I only say this because I have the same hate on for alcohol. I have had too many negative experiences with alcoholics that I hear a beer can open and I get triggered.
So to each their own for both of us right?
