Only according to the ignorant & the willfully ignorant.

In January 2015 I weighed, 289lbs & suffered from crippling depression/anxiety/insomnia. I was on multiple medications & was only getting worse. I began using cannabis in 2015 in a desperate attempt to get a handle things because the pharma meds were not working.

By the end of 2015 I was off all the anti-depressants & atypical-antipsychotic meds.
By the end of 2016 I was off the benzo’s I had been prescribed for 8 years
By the end of 2017 I was off the insomnia meds.
Yesterday morning when I weighed in I was at 194lbs.

I now walk 25-40 miles a week weather permitting. I’ve never been happier or healthier.

So as I said previously, what a lovely non-sequitur.

In what form did you take it ? Because you’re making a medical argument that it “worked” for you, you’re trying to apply that across the board, and that doesn’t cut it. In most instances, people take it simply because they’re selfish, stupid and want to get high. Outside of medically justifiable reasons, no one needs it.

Abuse of narcotics for “recreation” is inexcusable and is a premier example of a debauched culture. In this era of Trump, that decay needs to be halted and we need to raise the bar of cultural and societal standards again that have eroded over more than a half-century. To put it simply, I support upping our standards. Up yours.
