    Um, guys, it turned out to be kind of the opposite of what we expected.

      That’s not even a weed thing, that’s ultra processed food designed from day 1 to be as addictive as possible…

      Which is totally cool and totally legal

      Not like it’s a plant humans have used for thousands of years or something

      Alcohol is worse for you than weed. But alcohol is far more harmful for you than many people realise. Being not as bad as Alcohol does not make it good or harmless. However, after many years of very overblown propaganda about the threat of weed the pendulum has swung the other way and no many people falsely believe all talk of the damage weed can do to be propaganda. Here’s a good video explaining the topic; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBRaI0ZeAf8&t=661s&ab_channel=Kurzgesagt–InaNutshell

      I like marijuana and am in favor of legalizing it but lets not pretend its completely harmless. For example, tenagers should not be using it since it will interfere with their developing brains.

      I do agree that this campaign by the DEA could focus on more destructive drugs, like alcohol for example. Not to mention the opiods…

        Wow i sifted through a lot to get to someone with this opinion.

        I smoke often but totally agree with you. The research is only just beginning now that the ability to study marijuana use is becoming more and more practical.

          Exactly. The demonization of Marijuana by the USA has really pushed back valuable research all over the world, I hope with time we learn more about this plant.

      Yeah, he just literally shit his pants to dodge the draft, and then wrote a song about how much he likes banging 13 year old girls! Both Trump approved activities! He’s good to go!

    Remember all those idiots who thought this administration was actually going to make good on their promise to legalize it?

    Pepperidge Farm remembers.

    If you smoke enough marijuana you can hear all the complicated stuff drummer Jeff Porcaro isn’t playing on the song Africa by Toto.

    Cannabis will never be as harmful as alcohol. This really outlines their intentions and how little they actually care about harm to children.

    This seems perfectly reasonable. I’m sure the people wearing DARE shirts will take this seriously and help out.

        Dihydrogen monoxide is a chemical so dangerous, it has both an acidic and an alkaline effect. It’s completely destructive to the body. In large doses, it can kill a person in minutes. Smaller doses are claimed to be safe by the monoxide user community, but the truth is, it’s a death sentence. Everyone who uses dies.

          Women who use it while pregnant have babies that are already chemically dependant on it.

        You must not be American. Adults wearing DARE shirts are not bootlickers for the DEA. They wear it ironically.

      This is exactly what had me scared straight for the longest time. It’s not the drug, it’s the system that punishes use of the drug that’s the real threat.

      The fact that ex-convicts (people that have paid their debt to society) aren’t a protected class in the hiring process is beyond me. At least insofar as non-violent offenses go, there’s no cause to throw someone away like this. This goes especially considering the current state of political affairs around here.

      Nope sorry the best Trump can do is pardon a single drug dealer. The Libertarians must be thrilled at their art of the deal.
