“I thought stoners were harmless.”
They are far more harmless and healthy than alcoholics.
Alcohol is 100% medically proven to destroy every single organ in the body including the brain. Alcohol is so physically addictive that it is not uncommon to die from withdrawal. Alcohol is also 100% proven to cause impairment in all people. Alcohol is a proven automatic trigger of blacked-out violence in certain people.
In over 5000 years, there has not been a SINGLE recorded case of Cannabis causing any damage to the body. There is no conclusive medical evidence that it causes any permanent changes at all. There is no conclusive evidence that it causes any psychological issues. Cannabis is no more harmful to the majority of people than video games, facebook or gambling.
Yes, it has been proven that a greater percentage of criminals, schizophrenics and bipolar people smoke Cannabis than average. The same is true of tobacco cigarettes and many other bad habits. 80% of schizo people smoke them vs. 25% of average people. That does NOT prove that cannabis causes it anymore than you can prove tobacco causes it.

Back in 1972, in my sr year of HS I did a report on the “evils of Marijuana”. I was a goody two shoes and thought it was bad stuff.
After completing my research I started smoking dope.
That said, I have not touched the stuff since 1977. Getting high is the equivalent, biblically speaking, of getting drunk.
OK. Marijuana caused the munchies. The junk food he ate for lunch caused him to go psycho with the big tractor.
Let's require registration of Fritos or whatever it was that he ate for lunch. Probably too much salt. That causes high blood pressure which causes people to go psycho.
Damn, can't we have a lot of fun on this thread?
