re: What is wrong with weed?

That stuff has a terrible odor.

I have no desire to either smoke that stuff these days, or necessarily to stop people from smoking it, but I will say one point is abundantly clear, and that’s that the weed people are smoking today is not remotely the weed we smoked in the 70’s and 80’s, not by a long shot.

Besides the potential psychotic side effects, I just have no interest in something that makes me lazy and mentally take the back seat to life, and while I definitely see an upside to people using it to combat serious health conditions as I think it should be available to them to do so, I also don’t think it’s wide spread recreational usage in this country is something necessarily positive for our society on a whole.

Like anything though, regardless of what people do, enthusiasm should be tempered with caution and good decision making. I’d just make sure that there isn’t something hampering one’s ability to make sound personal decisions for one’s self.

Weed smokers think they are super cool though.

In fairness so do drunk baws at the bar.

I don't smoke it but don't care if others do as long as they don't drive while stoned.

My status changed recently and I no longer have to get drug tested and I’d been looking at low doses for pain relief (muscular in my case) but haven’t been able to try it until recently. In a study of 1, 1/8 of a 25mg Delta 8 gummy worked about as well as codeine the 3 times I’ve tried it. I’m going to reduce the dose further to see what happens, as apparently the pain relief function is more effective with very small doses. I have no idea if I want to keep using it because I haven’t dug into the side effects. At a low enough dose I guess they’re minimized but I have no idea.

That statement applies to many pop culture icons, whether it's weed, liquor, fast cars, fast women, rock 'n roll etc
