Hash was being imported in 1973.
I was put on a “push-button” voluntary morphine drip following knee surgery.
Also, people who before legalization didn’t use marijuana because it was illegal, will after legalization not drive stoned because that remains illegal - so legalization won’t substantially increase DUI.
The hash I processed for police appeared like a cow pattie, (dark brown), and wrapped tightly in Saran-Wrap.
We’d heard it was harvested in Morocco, using a long knife to scrape it off suede jackets. The jackets were worn by penniless “runners”, who were directed to jog through fields of marijuana.
All this dope should be available for free in the countries of our enemies—not for our children and the vulnerable of our U.S. population. We’re already “dumbed down” as it is!
Of my three regular marijuana user-acquaintances, only one is still alive. All are younger by ten years. (One by 30—dead at 30-something).
The living one’s a neighbor, been on oxygen for two years, and I haven’t seen him outdoors or on his porch since then. His truck hasn’t moved from the driveway. I’ve seen NOTHING to support “recreational” use of psychoactive drugs.
A young teen was taken from us by a “recreational” user, going 90-MPH through a red light. Her sister is critical, in ICU, and may not make it.
The best I used to be able to get was approximately like this, though a couple of times it wasn't quite as dark as this, but it was more blonde.
You could basically see on inspecting it that it made mostly of keef, and wasn't so much lie a cow patty or rubbery. This keef type hash was definitely the better of the two, I thought.
“The Rats have perfected putting high rat turnout proposals on the November ballots. Wake up GOP. Get these damn things on the Primary ballots.”
And The Rats want 16 year-olds voting on this, and other issues affecting our military and security.
A neighbor got a great government job in national security, and I was very happy for the neighborhood’s newest youngster.
A few months later, I saw him packing his truck. He was leaving, and I asked why.
“Marijuana” was his one-word reply. :(

So you are disputing the head of IL SHerriff’s Assoc?
He said nothing about an increase in DUI - so, no, I can't possibly be disputing him. I was giving context to the fact he cited.
No responsible researcher draws conclusions from a sample size of 3.

Happens with alcohol too - is that sufficient reason to ban that drug?
Marijuana criminalization has failed to keep that drug away from young people; they have been reporting since well before any state had legalized that they could get marijuana almost as easily as cigarettes or beer, although the latter two are much more widespread among adults. The available evidence indicates that the best way of keeping a drug away from young people is to legalize it for adults - which gives its sellers an economic incentive to confine their sales to adults, namely the risk of losing their legal adult market.
