    Are you saying that it’s worth it for the anti-smoking angle, like for health benefits?

    I’m trying to say that if there turn out to be significant health issues caused by cannabis (which seems likely given the data in the article), then an anti-cannabis campaign should be viable and at least partially successful, in the same way anti-tobacco campaigns have been successful in reducing tobacco use. Drug use isn’t some force of nature that can’t be stopped if we have a good reason to stop it; the war on drugs failed to stop it because the war on drugs was stupid.

      Right, only if you are speaking about children. The proof I use is the massive demand for it, along with the no massive damage to people or society over all these years. And, this is in the face of illegality and jail time. So other than some focused study on the effects of youth that result in an appropriate response, you can get out of here with your junk science and reefer madness. Alcohol is much more damaging on the brain. Look it up!

        Well that just got a lot less coherent. Mind rewording the first half so I can understand what you’re talking about?

        What makes you think I have anything other than disdain for alcohol?

          You’ve come in here with a preconceived notion that there’s no value whatsoever to marijuana. Questioning why anyone would use it, but you do not accept anyone’s answers. You obviously don’t believe in people’s freedom either, to make the best choice for their own mental health or any other reason they choose. You have nothing to offer but junk science and anecdotes, and a prescription for others to suffer more.

            You… Uh… Sure you’re talking about me? Because I literally never said that.
