Why does smoking cannabis still scare so many people?

@SlaveEt What health risks?

@SlaveEt Oklahoma has disproven economic risks..... The state is booming now because of the taxes from it

@SlaveEt as far as health Drs have proved it to have many health benefits

@NativePortlander1970
Aside from the effects of inhaling smoke into ones lungs if it is smoked? One that comes to mind is the THC levels in some pot is high enough to cause sever psychological side effects.

@chickiegirl95
That may be but as will all drugs, there are side effects and risks. It's not a miracle drug.

@SlaveEt it actually is when you cpmpair.side.effect differences

@chickiegirl95
Yeah. Okay.

@SlaveEt Want to know how Cannabis kills cancer?

Or maybe how the US government owns the patent for Cannabis as a neuroprotectant.

@NativePortlander1970
Y'all act like I don't acknowledge marijuana is useful and can be very helpful in some ways. I am just realistic enough to know there are side effects and risks as with any other drug. Sheesh, lol.

@SlaveEt I mean its some peoples entire personality. So if you make it a bad thing then youre effectively denying who they are as a person.

Its like as if these people liked donuts but then made their whole life about donuts and all the miracles of donuts.

@goneNow6565
Very, very true. Stoners can get very defensive about their drug of choice😉

@SlaveEt Sometimes no joke a donut can cure depression. For a few minutes though.

@SlaveEt Then its followed by regret.

@SlaveEt Your very replies show you refuse to acknowledge the many medicinal benefits and attributes of Cannabis.

@NativePortlander1970
Lol. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to trigger you. I know, I'll make brownies! Would that make you feel better? 😃

@SlaveEt

@SlaveEt there have been cases of clear impairment here on MA where someone smoked or ingested enough to clearly be intoxicated. Some were driving and caused near- or actual accidents. One fellow downtown was harassing people on the street. Yes, alcohol has a similar problem but I just do t think we need another mainstream intoxicant- especially one you can’t test for. I understand the medical uses and I have good friends who use it under doctors orders, but I worry about a driver under the influence killing someone.
