He has a very one-dimensional view of cannabis and its effects on humans, like most who have little experience with the plant.
He completely ignores the fact that it has been in use by millions for the last 50 years, with BY FAR the worst consequence being the carnage done to the lives of the people unlucky enough to get caught with some.
He also has that typical stereotype irrevocably etched in his mind that using it produces only "screwed up,lazy and unmotivated" effects on those who use it. Which is ABSOLUTE, COMPLETE, NONSENSE!
I wish I could shout that part of my message even louder.
The damage being done by prohibition far outweighs any damage the plant could ever cause, another fact which just bounces off of prohibitionists.
Alcoholics,drug addicts and smokers say the same things you do and the Corporations behind the products feed into and push that mantra. Keep making 'em rich!
MJ is safer than drinking a bottle of Sulphuric Acid so it should be legal! Gotta love the "facts" y'all keep trying to push as reality but IN FACT are not...
They said the same thing about Cigarettes years ago as well. How'd that turn out for everyone except the Tobacco companies and their investors? BTW, not a member of the "GOP" or any of the other blather you wrote. You want to play with your vices? You take the risks that come along with them be they physical, legal or otherwise.
Plus we have known for quite some time how dangerous and deadly cigarettes are...yet no one is calling for restrictions on access or bans, why should marijuana be any different?
Its kind of silly how everyone keeps debating on the health and safety aspects of marijuana, when cigarettes are available at just about any store you walk in. doesnt make any sense.

Gotta love the inexperienced posting here like they are experts and 100% certain their stereotypes are correct.
At 61, and after 47+ years of daily usage I'd love to know when all these maladies are going to hit me.
Almost every one of your facts are wrong. The only thing you got right is that many dispensaries are indeed owned by millionaires -- because the dispensary made them one.
Owned by corporations? Give me a break! Where do you get your information from? Or do you just make it up?
Corporations won't touch mj yet, it is still federally illegal. They can't get banking, and it scares their lawyers to death. Many investment firms won't even let their clients invest in mj related stocks!
As far making anyone rich, you must have missed the part about growing my own, which is quite a common practice. Just google hydroponic supplies to get an indication of how huge of an industry that is. They're definitely raking in some profits, and have been for many years.
Why is it that 47 years of experience in virtually any subject in the universe invokes some confidence in people that maybe that person knows a thing or two about the subject, but if the subject is cannabis, decades of experience is meaningless? Or even derogatory?
Actually, I will go ahead and answer that for you. It's brainwashing. I am sorry to say you are quite the victim of it.

And not all tobacco users got cancer or had any other of the maladies associated with it even after 50 years of use.
So I guess we should remove all warnings, restrictions and bans...

My gosh, you are grasping at the thinnest straws I have ever seen.
MILLIONS of tobacco users have contracted cancer over the last 50 years, directly attributable to the use of tobacco. MILLIONS.
In contrast, ZERO cases of cancer have been attributable to cannabis usage over the last 50 years, even though there are millions us. ZERO.
Care to try again? Or, on second thought maybe you shouldn't. This is getting embarrassing.

You're right, embarrassing for you. You are the one equating Cancer with Pot not I, in fact I never equated to the two.
Try reading what I said again sloooowly, maybe even while straight and you'll get it...

I assumed your statement referencing cancer and tobacco was related to the topic of the thread.
If your reference was to some other unrelated topic, I assure you no one got it.
As far as not knowing about the risks of cigarette smoking until later, they were called "coffin nails" in the 1930's.
there are 1001 uses for hemp (cannabis ) not counting getting high
democrats are the ones who made hemp illegal in 1937
everyone should be for the freedom of hemp, yet its the liberals that want to REGULATE it..as always liberals are anti-freedom
Do you also feel the same about recreational marijuana? In highly conservative Oklahoma, they want to keep recreational marijuana illegal to the tune of 62.2% opposed to legalizing it. https://soonerpoll.com/news9-newson6...nal-marijuana/
