Plenty of people drink alcohol and it doesn’t ruin their lives.
But some folks can’t handle it at all and it messes them up.
Why should cannabis be any different?
Lots of folks strongly insist that it’s harmless. And maybe it is for most people.
But some people seem to react badly to it.
“Reefer Madness” is treated like a joke, but it probably pays to educate people that if you’re smoking this stuff and things are getting weird, or your life is going downhill, then maybe — just maybe — you’re one of the people who shouldn’t use the stuff.
But I’m afraid the current culture treats such caution as some sort of prim, puritanical ignorance.
There are some people who casually partake once or twice a year.
Then you have those who just have to “wake and bake” every single day.
“Plenty of people drink alcohol and it doesn’t ruin their lives.”

Doesn’t seem like a good enough excuse to me. That’s the type of claim that should lead to a parent telling you about not jumping off a cliff just because Johnny jumped off one.
(Drunks don’t have good excuses either, by the way).
The same leftists who want to ban tobacco claim that smoking an unfiltered marijuana cigarette is the most healthy thing in the world (or just behind gay sex and abortion as the things they call healthy).
There is no person intoxicated on alcohol who can drive with the same sharp reflexes as a non-drunk. And for some reason, for 100 years, there are still people taking the risk of driving drunk.
