This sounds like something made up by Boomers.

What would be a better term to describe the problem people have when their chronic use of marijuana is causing problems with their family and job, but they are not capable of quitting.

Weed has prevented me from getting covid.

That’s more than the vaccine can say.

This is the most annoying argument. If you used 2-3 pills in your argument, it would have been more effective. Not against medical marijuana, but the “just smoke some weed, and it will fix 14 different ailments” people are just as ridiculous.

A recent study found that medical marijuana fails to improve symptoms of pain, anxiety and depression and effectively doubles the risk of developing addictive symptoms and cannabis use disorder (CUD).

$ays a $tudy publi$hed by a group funded by big pharma.
I don't give a damn what their $tudy $ay$.
I have first hand knowledge and experience that says otherwise.
Same as the frickers trying to downplay Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine for treating the chinese crono.
frick these greedy bastards pushing their chemicals on everyone while trying to smear anything natural and easily accessible to anyone with some dirt, water, sunlight, and seeds.

Case closed. frick beta blockers, statins, insulin, metformin, and other drugs. All we need is natural things like marijuana, arsenic, and mercury to cure all of our ailments.

There you have it folks. A trial of Xanax and adderall vs weed. Weed is statistically significantly better per shoebang.

I wonder how weed would compare vs. “don’t drink or do drugs and don’t be a pussy?” Would the p value be less than 0.05?

I mean there’s partial truth to this title. I know heavy guys that quit over anxiety.

It’s like they say.

So someone getting fired for a positive drug test for MJ would have the same problem with or without weed?

that wasn’t the question

alcoholics also have job performance issues, but they don’t get fired on the spot after a positive test.

tell me Ric, what’s the difference?

It actually was. Use of weed—> direct cause of problems with family or work.

They are fired in most places if alcohol is detected (medical/industrial/manufacturing jobs).

Pot smokers get a raw deal with drug tests (positive for 14-28 days after smoking, cannot delineate if high or just smoked the previous weekend).
