You are so right. High THC content weed is bad stuff.
I live here in California too and though I occasionally smoke I voted Against legalization.
Most all smokers abuse it. I smoke a CBD dominant variety that while it does have some THC in it does not mess with your head like the other THC heavy strains.
I don’t think you can get people to avoid something that they think makes them feel good, relax or whatever.
One beer can maybe take the edge of the end of the day but soon it’s 2.
Then hard liquor. Same with over the counter drugs. People abuse everything.
2 of my kids work downtown SF. Neither smokes anything ! Love ‘em.
One of my other kids works in Palo Alto, makes unbelievable $$$ and she’s allowed to smoke weed at work ! She’s a coder who thinks it helps calm her brain and has now switched more to the lighter strains like me.
I've got all kinds of faults and bad habits. But I don't go on public forums where kids are present and advocate doing something that can lead to mental illness and addiction...which is what you were doing.
I reread my original comment #12 and another response, #41 and I don’t know where I came across as advocating the use of weed ?
Yes, I’ve smoked it for a long time and though had other problems in my life my use of pot was the most docile.
I voted against legalizing in California and Do see it as a serious problem especially for the young. I started at 14 and went on to many far worse adventures but in the end found now even ice cream is bad for me.
Addiction comes in many forms. Each person is different. Overcoming weakness is all I really advocate when it comes to substance abuse or any unhealthy habit.
