I think if people went to Amsterdam and walked around for a week or two....you’d come to several realizations about legit pot.

First, you don’t see hardly any doped up Dutch folks on the streets....mostly just doped up tourists from other countries.

Second, if you look carefully....there’s plenty of LSD and Heron usage in Amsterdam....so legit pot gimmicks didn’t decrease those options.

Third, cops have various ways to determine if a guy is stoned....and if you fail a drivers drug test...they get pretty serious by taking the license away for a year.

Fourth and final...if we upset about folks doing pot in a public situation...we ought to be equally upset about people who drink to excess in a public situation as well. Same brain cell damage in the end.

So a gateway drug like Pot is taken legally by the populace. It is not enough and people seek out a stronger replacement. So pot is sending people to more dangerous and illegal drugs. And your point is???

Agreed. Except there has not been a single brain cell (or any cell) ever destroyed by pot at any dose. Even with physically impossible doses in lab settings.

While alcohol abuse is GUARANTEED to rot the brain and every cell in the body. Usually the liver is the first to go and results in death but alcohol rots everything.

The ONLY proven side effect from pot is temporary impairment. There has NEVER been a single before-after imaging or twin study confirming ANY permanent damage or changes. While the damage from alcohol can be seen crystal clear in every alcoholic.
