Normal people already knew this.

This explains so much about you.

It has few therapeutic benefits, and very limited at that.
The VA used to have me on Lorazepam and Ambien. I’ve found that a 10mg gummy twice during the day and 20mg before bed gives me the same benefits without the grogginess or memory holes. Would you suggest that I’d be better off going back on benzos instead?

I’m not willing to lock human beings in cages because they consumed a substance and committed no offense against anyone. There’s nothing anyone can say to convince me that we should lock human beings in cages for that.
Prohibition causes far more ills than sensible regulation. I don't think folks ought to be locked in cages for possessing alcohol but I know for a certainty that alcohol is detrimental to many people's lives. I can think of only 2 things that should be prohibited in a free society...murder for profit and child pornography....there are probably others but basically anything 2 adults agree to trade for should be legal with some sensible restrictions. That said it is the height of stupidity to think this would not cause some problems in society. Pot should be legal but that is not indicative of pot being without issues. One of the bigger ones is probably due to the lack of sensible regulation on the production of pot.....if unregulated moonshine was legal people would be distilling it through car radiators and cutting it with lye....both were common at one time....it is entirely possible that some pot producers are doing similar shite to their product because of the lack of sensible regulation.

I drink daily and have neither of those issues.
Hate to break it to you, but alcohol lowers testosterone and causes ED MUCH more than THC.

was that strictly because of marijuana or because of other factors like who you were hanging out with?

Sex when high is pretty great. I stopped ever smoking it years ago but that's the one thing I miss.
Anyhow. The issue isn't really whether there's somewhat negative effects or the degree of the positive ones.
The issue is simply is that it's certainly no worse than a ton of other legal stuff and stupid for governments to be spending billions trying to prohibit it

Drinking a drink daily and getting drunk every day are two different things, right?
I doubt eating a gummy every day would have much of effect either, but THC use has increased tremendously over the last few years and it certainly isn't "harmless" like people were led to believe.

I'm sure you are the one responsible weedhead who just takes a single drag. I think we can both agree the overwhelming majority of tokers are on the Cheech and Chong end of the spectrum.
Wasn't my main point, anyway.

I used to be one of the ones saying legalize it. The problem with that is people dont try to hide the smell.

The loudest, most stereotypical users are the ones who make themselves visible, so they become the sample you think represents everyone else. Your brain then treats those easy to remember examples as the norm, even though quieter or more functional users don’t advertise themselves and never enter your mental data set.
It’s the same reason people think all vegans are loud about it or every gun owner is tacticool, you’re only noticing the people who signal it openly while everyone else just blends into regular life. That doesn’t mean the stereotype is accurate, it just means the sample you’re seeing is skewed.

People that smoke flower in public are trashy and would do it regardless of the laws around it so the point is moot. As others have said there’s already laws in place to prevent this so your issue isn’t with legalization it’s with enforcement and that has more to do with your local government than anything else

I take it as part of how everyone has to inflict their shite upon you now. I don’t care if you’re lgbt, I don’t care your kid has a fundraiser and i sure in the hell don’t want to smell your smoke - whether it cigarettes or weed. But ppl don’t care what I want but I sure in the frick have to put up with their shite.
People like you are such whiny fgts. it's incredible that you typed all this out and still hit submit.
Tell your wife to stop cooking whatever slop she's feeding your family because your neighbors can smell it and it smells like shite.
Tell your kids to stop playing outside because they're loud and nobody wants to hear their obnoxious shrieking.
Sorry other people exist and you live in society amongst them you little bitch lmao.

Eh, I don't know that the laws are directly responsible, but I think the laws helped hasten the diminishment of social condemnation and now there are definitely more trashy people doing it more and more publicly.
