A lot of people like to pretend that smoking weed is harmless.
I support legalization but from my personal experience, I’ve suffered psychosis twice after smoking weed, and that’s enough for me.
- monero-xmr 2y agoIt is incredible that the slightest increase in any cancer associated with alcohol is immediately trumpeted, but no matter how much research shows marijuana has dangers, the stoners always brush it off. Just accept the risks and live your life. Nothing is without risk. Drink your beer and smoke your joint, why bother living if you aren’t going to enjoy yourself
- someothherguyy 2y agoPlenty do those things out of desperation, disease, and despair. In some, that leads to generations of harm. To many, the risks aren't even part of the equation.
- redeux 2y agoThere are people who minimize risks of both pot and alcohol but most of the adults I speak to that use marijuana understand the risks.
- codr7 2y agoAlcohol is poison, really. Cannabis is one of the least toxic substances available. They have absolutely nothing in common.
- barnabyjones 2y agoI agree it can cause those effects but it always seemed to me that the weed is just causing sleep deprivation which eventually leads to psychosis. IME it's not much different from alcohol in that way, they both disturb REM sleep so you end up deprived with daily use. It's just more apparent with weed because you don't get the hangover effects, so it's easy to overuse.
