She doesn’t want to quit. It requires a lot of effort. High THC grades cause mental issues like “Anxiety”. Quitting requires temporary discomfort like quitting tobacco. They will have trouble sleeping.

Many THC addicts have to quit periodically to reset their tolerance. At $250 an oz, you can’t afford too much intolerance. Tell her to start using CBD.

“Just what we need…. more people who are doped up and don’t care”

That is exactly what the leftists want.

A goodly fraction of the homeless are schizophrenics caused by skunk weed as juveniles.

Enjoy your defecated streets.

She used to all kinds of hard drugs, and she kicked them all, but she can’t seem to kick the weed.

Is there still an interweb award for goofiest damn thing I've heard all day? If so, this would win it.

12 year perfect rental history & a 30+ user of the MJ. I raised 2 successful, taxpaying, productive members of society, did 4 years of college while working 2 jobs and raising a family through it all.

"Gateway" drug? Lmao. No, no it isn't. The gateway drug is coffee. Then cigarettes. Then booze. Then marijuana. While I can understand being opposed to marijuana for personal reasons, some of the statements - wild & entirely inaccurate, btw - posted here just make me shake my head. Once again proves that "Conservatives" LOVE big government, as long as it's THEIR big government.

I’ve never had to evict anyone where drugs/alcohol were not involved. This does not mean my problem free tenants aren’t doing drugs. If they are I don’t know. But based on the amount of money I’ve spent, if I had my choice I’d prefer drug free tenants.

Most the folks I know are productive stoners. They get up in the morning, go to work, work hard, cash their paychecks, pay the bills, and are happy to just to smoke a little in the evening while watching TV before bed. I know a couple lazy ass stoners, too. They can't keep a job, cycle through 4 - 6 employers a year, when they are trying to keep a job. It really comes down to the same argument as guns. Marijuana in itself is not dangerous or does not make one lazy. It comes down to the person smoking.

Some people are literally born to be alcoholics. To find out if this was the case, scientists put people who they had no history on into PET scanners. (Positron Emission Tomography.) They injected a drop of alcohol into a vein and if they were alcoholics in a moment their brains lit up like the New York skyline. Some people...zero reaction. Those people turned out to mostly be nondrinkers. But the others turned out to be alcoholics. I think whether people can be high functioning drug users or even just occasional drug users like there are occasional drinkers or stoners or addicts depends on their personal chemistry. From this perspective some people are walking around with the nerve equivalent of a live grenade. As long as the pin is never pulled, they’ll never know. Frankly, I’d rather never know instead of finding out the bad way.

The reason medical drugs work for some and are nothing but side effects for others is although we look similar on the outside, the inside can be orders of magnitude different. The American Indians got along just fine until the Europeans introduced them to alcohol. There is hardly any American Indian culture today and a huge factor is the readily available supply of alcohol.

There’s no easy answer, like banning everything. We know banning stuff often has the opposite effect on people trying it. But doing nothing isn’t a good idea either. Some education would be in order and not the “this is your brain on drugs” idiocy. Real education. But since everything including algebra is racist it will be a long time before that happens.

I’m glad you are doing well.

And that's why the Marxists trying to establish a dictatorship are pushing marijuana. They don't want the lower classes (i.e., anyone beneath the elite) to be able to think or care.

Literally the marijuana pushing wing of the bolsheviks that had to flee ussr became established in US and mexico, corresponding with the first wide scale campaign to normalize this faggot drug in the US starting in the 20's. Marijuana's permanent brain mutilation and mind skewing properties have been known by cult and other brain washing leaders for centuries.

Marijuana is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy:

"29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat." Genesis 1:29

Never said I was a scholar. Merely quoted scripture. Most the plants you posted also have uses in medicine & food.

"Most," but not all?

You didn't just quote a scripture you cited it to support your claim that "Marijuana is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy."
