Every single chemical I put into my body has risk. Too much salt, caffeine / coffee, cheese, pasta / carbohydrates. When I drive a car I’m rolling the dice. When I let my 10 year old walk by himself to the subway, ride it to his friend’s house, and then ride it back, my mind can wander to all sorts of dangers.
Marijuana is absolutely a drug with downsides. There are also upsides - for example I enjoy my life more. I also enjoy alcohol, sometimes to excess. I acknowledge I have taken likely years of my life away through my actions. I have also dabbled in cocaine and ecstasy. I don’t think those drugs should be totally illegal either.
My point is we all make our own decisions and are forced to accept risk. Sometimes you just have to live. Otherwise why bother living?
- octodog 3y agoAbsolutely, nothing wrong with that. It's important to understand the risks so that one can make informed choices. That is probably where there needs to be more research.
- tomohelix 3y agoOf course, I have no complaints or problems with things people do behind closed doors. I only have issues with those who smoke so much it reeks even when they are not smoking or I am 10ft away from them and still smell it.
- SamPatt 3y ago10 ft away? I wish it were only that far. After legalization here in Michigan, you can smell it seemingly everywhere. I supported, and still support, legalization. But the smell is a serious issue. Even just driving down the road I catch a whiff from other cars or buildings nearly every day.
