I don't understand why people feel the need to attack cannabis users and call us names. If you don't like it, fine. Don't use it. Opiates are by far the most serious drug scourge in this country, and I would put cigarettes a close second. Both are highly addictive, which cannabis is not. I have used cannabis on and off for over 30 years, have gone without it for long periods, and never had any problems stopping. But it took me 13 years and nine tries before I was able to kick cigarettes.
Not true? Methinks you're either settling or delusional. But then there are women who like low-intensity, endless diddle-fests so if that's the case, more power to you.
It’s simply not true, whether you believe it or not. I don’t know if you’re speaking from experience with a person in your past or something you read, but it really is not a true phenomenon.

Don’t discount alcohol quite so quickly. I work in skilled nursing home rehab, and we have at any given time several men who are there due to liver disease from drinking. Most of them are in their 60s. One of my best friends passed away from liver cancer three years ago. He was not a hard liquor drinker, he was one of those guys who came home from work and had four or five beers over the course of a night. Even worse are the lifelong alcoholics, with wet brain. They are often as impaired at 60 as a 90-year-old with late stage Alzheimer’s.
Opioids get more attention because many kids die. But in terms of numbers, many many more people die from alcohol than opioids. It’s just not instant it takes decades but they die nonetheless. Not before costing taxpayers big bucks for their treatment though.
I to find cigarettes the hardest thing to quit. I have stopped smoking pot multiple times when I was getting ready to look for a new job. I wish that I could just stop smoking cigarettes for two months and be fine with it. It is the only substance I have never been successful at controlling.
The reporter of the article and original poster must work for a pharmaceutical company. The media is owned by the big pharma lobby and their marketers. The media advertising dollars come from the corrupt medical pill pushers. About 1 out of 3 commercials and many magazine ads are selling their pills.

This is not a reporter, this man wrote a book about this, he is misguided but sincere. This is his mission. While big pharmaceutical is very powerful politically, they don’t make up the majority of ads. There are just as many for booze and cars and probably more for food especially fast food on. They certainly provide a lot of ad dollars, but it is not true to state they own the media. The media’s reporting on pit legalization has for the most part been supportive and liberal leaning coverage and reporting.

Personal observation. Perhaps I just had a monumental run of bad luck. Bad enough that I'd never risk it again.
