You should know this. My brother starting smoking weed at 15.
He was much brighter than I, and yet always seemed to thrash around.
Got an undesirable discharge, later upgraded to a general, from the Army, because of drug use.
Apprenticed as a machinist, for a while, constantly toking.
Moved to Florida, finally went on SS substance abuse disability, and died of a cardiac arrest at 44.
He's in the Florida National Veteran's cemetery.

Did MJ kill him? Hellifino. It surely had an impact. To me, tokers are a waste of O2.

The majority of people (users) that we’re discussing don’t represent ‘wastes of oxygen’. They’re human beings, like you and me, and your brother; a lot of them just need help, MEANING in their lives, and education.

And it DOESN’T help when people - most of whom just want to make money - are promoting a very bad idea.

I’m very sorry about your brother; but expressing yourself in terms that alienate people doesn’t result in a positive promotion of your viewpoint.
