Personally I find legalization a step toward ‘normal’. It’s already causing problems by being illegal courts, law enforcement, counselors among other money wastes, who could be doing something more useful than making weed smokers into criminals. I also find weed inherently less ‘dangerous’ than alcohol.

Honestly one wouldn’t schluck an aspirin if they freaked out over side effects. Yes I couldn’t agree with you more about unnecessary medication. It’s easy replace many meds . with homeopathic herbal -which includes MJ derivatives or something likesimply an occasional melatonin for sleep. My Son succumbed to the effects of a drug. There are so many harmful psych drugs out there . Also it seems that they only work for a while and then a dreaded adjustment is necessary. there are always new widgets from Big Pharma. I am going to get ‘brainvitaminz’ for the whole crew and see if there is any merit to the formula.
I have just finished reading this book, and while I agree and disagree with many of the things written, I do believe that more accurate research and data needs to be completed - from here in the United States. One theme in the book was the lack of U.S. data, and how more is necessary for people to make more informed choices. I’m concerned about the push to legalize and wonder if some people aren’t trying to make money from the industry, though I agree with you all as well that when people want it bad enough, they will find it - legal or not. Another statistic in the book is that mj today contains 20% more THC than it did 30 years ago. My husband’s counselor says he sees it in his office all the time. The paranoids he works with all use, and even if they used one time they present sz symptoms, so it does make me wonder. I hope more academic institutions will research this topic and provide accurate data.
