No but it sure doesn’t help from what I see. Another illicit behavior that holds people back. Stunted and wasted potential, wasted resources, drawn into a downward spiral.
Our nation has a strong proclivity toward redefining "illicit".
I agree with you; heavy chronic (daily or almost daily) use is really bad. But the fact is that if these same individuals (chronic users) did not have marijuana many would probably be involved in some even more harmful drug, one entailing a true addiction and other hazards including infection and contamination. Some people just get into trouble and not always much you can do about it.
