Edible cannabis products are a lot safer than alcohol but either is reasonable harmless in moderation. I turn 74 in January. I’ve got all the arthritis I want thank you. A good nights sleep is hard to come by. Two or three times a month I’ll eat a cannabis gummy (legal in my state) at bedtime and get six to eight solid hours of uninterrupted sleep.
I don’t use alcohol at all and haven’t for decades. Even as a young man it messed up my sleep.
MJ is the safest drug known to man, safer even than water. You should feel free to eat a gummy every night if it helps you sleep. And CBD oil may alleviate your arthritis.
Before the 1930’s most drugs were plant-based, Rockefeller and other rich influential types started the snake-oil propaganda making what had been legal, illegal, - namely common everyday plants with marijuana having widespread effective usage throughout history.
We need to end the drug war worldwide period! Who benefits when any plant is demonized, drug cartels and those who legislate it? When will people wake up to the fact we need all of our freedoms back from these tyrannical rulers?
For all who claim to follow the Bible, only alcohol abuse is listed, warning against over-indulgence. Also before thinking about giving up meat or making any plant illegal consider see Gen 9:3 “Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. And as I gave you the green plants, I give you everything.”
