In 1969 I had a government teacher who was a retired colonel from the Army and the class discussion turned to marijuana at one point, and colonel told us if you do not believe that marijuana or THC has negative consequences go to the island of Crete and there you will see old hash smokers sitting around on curbs and on benches and in parks with very little mind left and they are derelicts because of their years of hashish abuse.

Well, I’ve never been to Crete but I know people from the seventies who were and still are stoners and yes, I’ve seen them at high school reunions at I see them around where I live now and they are total burnouts. That’s proof enough for me.

Cretins. Hence the name

Alcohol has negative consequences - should it be banned?
