Ah, so we allow lots of other detrimental and dangerous things, so we shouldn't be so persnickety about this either. That's what you're saying. We should overindulge, not be overcautious.

Mayhaps if people were less of a bitch about it, it would be realistic and reasonable.

Yeah. It's carved to be vilified, which is hypocritical not just because there are other equivalent harms we allow young people to pursue for pleasure, there are several considerably more harmful harms we allow young people to pursue for pleasure.

All because an old newspaper magnate's paper pulp business interests were threatened by hemp and it became tradition.

You can cause severe brain damage and kill people with alcohol, tobacco, and concussions. The studies I've seen about Marijuana in teens handwring over <5 IQ points with chronic use.

It's inconsistent to the extreme.

My intent was not to vilify weed. In fact, if I hadn't found it before 25 I probably wouldn't have even made it to 25. If you know what I mean.

I understand intimately, my friend!

Cumulative head injuries will harm a brain far worse than cannabis.
