Living in the Bay Area, I know more than my share of recreational stoners. And I can’t think of a single one of ‘em whose life has been improved or enhanced by the use of this drug. Cannabis makes people boring and stupid. Many of their lives are essentially devoted to getting high. The Left demonizes tobacco and to some extent alcohol, yet they promote marijuana. Why? Why this particular drug? My guess is that the Left wants people too stoned and lazy and stupid to question liberalism. Marijuana is a weapon of mass destruction against mental clarity, industriousness and traditional values.

Lucky you:

I can base my opinion on just two users. One is 60, lives next door, his “light is out”, and seldom leaves the house because his oxygen tank keeps him tethered there.

The other, at 33, is dead.

“Marijuana is a weapon of mass destruction against mental clarity, industriousness and traditional values.”

I’ve been using medicinal cannabis since 2015. I’m free of depression & anxiety & big pharma meds. I’ve lost 75lbs since I started using cannabis. The quality of my work has improved & I’m getting more work because of it. I’m more active in my parish & I’m thankful to God Almighty for this wonderful plant.

Like anything else, including alcohol, sugar, tobacco, caffeine, cannabis can be abused. Too much of anything isn’t good for us.

That is why is many totalitarian governments drugs are plentiful, to keep the masses sedated, pliable and apathetic.

Many of their lives are essentially devoted to getting high.

The Founding Founders prized "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" in that exact same order, not "the pursuit of happiness, liberty, and life".

If the FF sorted the sequence as per the latter, eventually we would lose all three.

I have similar friends in my life (I don’t partake myself), and I mostly agree with you, though I know some people who are regular users and also productive and industrious.

“Cannabis makes people boring and stupid.”

People have a right to be stupid. But society is under no obligation to save them from the consequences of being stupid.

It does seem to make people dull.
