Yeah as a stoner myself I’ve seen my fair share of people miss using it. A lot of people I know think “it’s safer than alcohol so it must be fine” but then consume way more than they should.
Everything in moderation, and take your medical advice from a doctor, not a fucking budtender. Like fr imagine if someone was vomiting from alcohol and the bartender told them they should drink more, ffs.

Are we seriously going to have a moral panic over cannabis now? We’ve had decades of evidence that prohibitionary cannabis policy is an absolute failure.

Excellent article. Marijuana should be treated as what it is, a public health issue to be overcome. We should not go from it being illegal to it being completely accepted uncritically. Hopefully we can make progress limiting its use through awareness campaigns and regulation of the industry.

I guess it would make sense that more research is able to be done into the positives/negatives, as compared to before its recreational legalization in 24 states.

As someone who smokes, yeah no shit…there are drawbacks, and its not a psychological or physical cure-all. But hearing people talk about consuming high dosage edibles every single day and then finding out they have stomach problems…what else would you expect?
I’m not sure if its consumer ignorance or the drumbeat of people saying that marijuana (and now psycobilin) is an instant improvement factor on your life. Newsflash, its not. Treat weed the same way you treat booze.
