Since Canada's legalization of cannabis five years ago, researchers say the policy has had mixed results in terms of public health and justice reform.

Yup, just imagine the gall it'd take to look at the US prison system full of drug arrests and think, "Well, it's working alright for them."

I am so elated that a safe hallucinagen is no longer restricted and causing social woes.

Cannabis isn't a hallucinogen. You could call it a "recreational drug" when not used for medical purposes.

Every drug is a recreational drug when not used for medical purposes.

Sure. Did you think I was implying otherwise?

[-] reverendsteveii@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

I thought you were implying that hallucinogen and recreational were two types of drug. So yeah, kinda.

[-] LostWon@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

I see. I was just using an umbrella term.

Cannabis is traditionally classified as a hallucinogen. For example, the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) considers it as such.

I clearly need to get better weed then... I don't see, feel, hear, taste, or smell anything that's not there when I've had some gummies. All I get it a good night's sleep.
