Except the part where it eases the suffering of kyancah patients, helps folks with Crones Disease, with neurological and metabolic diseases, with arthritus, with just about any issues arising from chronic inflammatory distresses, and otherwise defies your bigotry.
I haven't smoked weed since I was a teenager - but I would never presume to decide for others. ANYTHING can be abused. Guns, for instance. But men of sense look to the ABUSER, not to the thing abused, when assigning blame. Prohibitionists are no different than gun grabbers - they just get all wet in the ****** over a different issue.
Cannabinoids have medicinal value - I wouldn't deny that. I think it is way overused medically, and people use dispensaries just to get high.
Demonizing the inanimate is for the intellectully indolent. I have observed a tendency toward intellectual indolence in you.
I see a trend, one which I find very alarming. I see more and more people enjoying using chemicals to get high. Right now, Fentanyl and Meth are probably some of the most addictive substances that I know of. The chemists will come up with drugs that are far more addictive than these. It is inevitable. We are seeing Fentanyl laced gummies, pot, etc. There is a push to get Americans addicted on substances they can't get off of. This will get worse and worse until there is no turning back.
So, either you are like me, make a concerted effort to live chemically free, and raise your children to be as chemical free as possible, or your lineage is doomed to the addictive substances that will be soon coming down the pike. If you dabble in drugs, your kids will dabble even more. Their kids that much more. When you abstain from drugs, its that much easier to lead your children and family to pursuing real life adventures over chemically induced or gaming highs. Yeah, I do draw that bright line in the sand.
