No. It’s been studied to death for centuries. You are simply recalling popular counter culture propaganda. It was outlawed because people were indeed getting hurt; because people love and crave intoxication. Hell, who doesn’t? There will, however, be a price paid. I lived it, in the U.S. and abroad. Saw the damage being done to our government, law enforcement, military, and young folks. Crossed paths with young Americans living like beggars, on “Freak Street” in Bombay, and Kathmandu. All there for the “excellent hash, man.” There is no such thing as a “harmless” drug. There will be a price.
