What's your point? Since it actually IS propaganda (do you know what that word means?), of course any intelligent human being would call BS on it. And since you did not accept or meet my challenge to back it up with accurate information/sources, I guess you proved my point too.
I'll give you one more chance to show us why that is NOT propagandist, and if you fail, I'm the only one who can pat myself on the back here. I mean, would you accept my argument if I'd used a YouTube video and silly gif as "evidence" that pot is healthy? If so, you would be as gullible as the others who rely on Google as a research tool. Google is great if you know how to analyze the results, but for many it can be more dangerous than helpful. Trust me, I spend a good chunk of my work week cleaning up the mess people get into with that.
"Most marijuana users are delusional, irresponsible and short sighted"
Sounds like a description of the entire human race to me....
Haha... true dat!
And while I don't mean to pick on that one poster, who asked "what do I do about living in an apartment with my baby, if I can't afford to move?" - it just occurred to me that THEY more accurately fit this description. Here I am the "stoner," who has a great job, money for everything I need, a sweet little BMW (albeit an older one), and had the foresight not to make babies until I'm 100% ready. But just because I use medical marijuana in place of chemical pharmaceuticals and/or liquor, they can stereotype ME as the short-sighted and irresponsible American?
I think all the finger-pointers need to start looking in the mirror, because it sure isn't me or my fellow pot-smoking friends who are lacking in personal responsibility or funds. Among the people I know who smoke regularly, I can count the following: Lawyers, doctors, a nurse, general contractor, stockbroker, librarians, computer programmers & techies, corporate executives, teachers, even a cop or two. And those are just the few I can think of now!
The moments someone says "Most _____ are _____," I dismiss their opinion. You don't KNOW "most" of any group of people - most Americans, most Muslims, most women, most clowns, most Hispanics, most BMW owners, most pot smokers - so generalizations are simply your bigoted generalizations.
I've lost several friends and my mother to alcoholism - and when I say lost, I mean they died as a result of their use - and I *still* wouldn't say "most people who drink alcohol are ruining their families, their livers, their hears, and are drunk drivers." (Thankfully my mom got *too* drunk to even consider driving or she likely would have died sooner and taken me and possibly some occupants of another car with her.)
I live in Washington state and while I don't partake myself, I'm GLAD our state has legalized marijuana. Even our state Attorney General and head of our state health department supported legalization. Instant elimination of nearly all associated crime and fewer health repercussions than tobacco and alcohol - or obesity, for that matter.

Because if so, Home Depot and Trader Joe's and Jo-ann Fabrics are in big trouble
Commercial productionof hemp is illegal, importation of processed products is allowed; For example, pretty much all "hemp protein powder" sold in the USA is from hempseed grown in Canada and China.
Legal hemp products are a half-billion dollar industry in the USA, 100% imports.

I think my point is very clear. Potheads won't accept any data they don't agree with.

Oh, you are giving me "one more chance?" Why bother? You won't accept it, anyway. Gullible are those who believe that marijuana is a "harmless" drug for everyone.
What about people like me? A college student (who lives in an apartment) with a roommate who smokes marijuana on a daily basis. I wake up to the aroma of marijuana (she does it at night), and I have to put a towel at the bottom of my door so the smell doesn't stink up my room even more. That inconveniences my sleep and my health because I don't want to smell that sh*t.
You just have a roommate problem. I had the same problem with my son who was microwaving frozen Indian food when he got home from his night job after I was asleep. We had to talk about it and he started making sandwiches instead. You should get a new roommate but I warn you, if your going to have more roommates you will find that they all do things that bother you. And you will do things that bother them. I don't like certain smells or sounds and do what I can to avoid them. You will learn to do the same.

Hahaaa! I shared an apartment once, and the other guy cooked liver and onions at 1 AM and I couldn't sleep for a few hours. WAY too strong a smell. I had to get up at 5:30 for work and that was not something I could live with.
I CANNOT deal with the liver and onions at night. They can do that in the daylight hours, and that's fine.

I gotcha! I guess this problem isn't SO bad. It could be worse.
