i've seen it ruin the lives of plenty of people
i wouldn't support legalization unless it was preceded by a substantial education campaign and a ban on depictions in the media glamorizing it as a lifestyle
@fluffy @Mr_NutterButter if someone is against recreational use i'm not really gonna' hold that against them.
but i think it is a bit hypocritical to not want marijuana being used while also being totally fine with alcohol/tobacco being out there totally legal for 21+. way worse for you than weed.
when it comes to medicinal use though, i think it's a no-brainer and like i said, the literal doctors and pharmacists i know that study this kind of thing all agree it helps a lot of people that way and is much safer than actual prescriptions. if the alternative is there and it works it should be taken, and stuff like "anti-depressant" meds should only be used as a last resort.
most chronic dependents will say such things. it's so common there are numerous internet memes about it. attached results of image search for "weed is safe meme". I don't mean to imply you are the nasty type of person depicted in this image but you should be aware that this is how people of that sort are perceived. they are not so perceived without cause.
>doctors and pharmacists i know that study this kind of thing all agree it helps a lot of people that way and is much safer than actual prescriptions.
you are experiencing selection bias.
>stuff like "anti-depressant" meds
>alcohol/tobacco
not the topic at hand.
@fluffy @Mr_NutterButter >not the topic at hand
dude you're responding to my post, you don't get to decide what the topic at hand is. i'm saying it's much better to use than anything else and even if it does come with its issues i'd rather use medicinal marijuana than any of the shit they put me through during high school with my epilepsy. god dammit none of this talk technically follows the topic at hand which was just that my landlord is retarded xD
>selection bias
what, like the majority of doctors that agree? xD i mean we really shouldn't be pointing fingers toward doctors in general regardless though, considering how many said covid vaccines were totally safe. the difference here is that there was fuck all studies behind those and the docs were still recommending them and saying they were totally safe and would protect you against covid19 and the variants, whereas with medicinal marijuana there have been a LOT of studies done and some doctors would still rather prescribe three different anti-depressants that literally have "suicidal thoughts" as a side effect 🤡
@fluffy @Mr_NutterButter also this shit in these memes are more like recreational use and heavy use of it at that, not actual medicinal marijuana but people who "self medicate" with shit they buy from jorge at the 7/11 downtown that may or may not be laced so they keep coming back to him because it's "good shit."
some of this is super strawman too, no weed smoker out there is saying they are literally steve jobs because they smoke weed, get real. there probably aren't very many that think there are absolutely zero negative health effects either.
@beardalaxy @fluffy @Mr_NutterButter Anyone who is anti drug better be anti sugar, or they're hypocrites. Sugar kills the fuck out of people, it feeds cancer cells.
