Current recreational marijuana is definitely a dangerous drug. It is many times stronger than the stuff my contemporaries smoked in the 1970s. That greatly increases its addiction potential. It affects the brain development of regular smokers up to age 25. It can also serve as a trigger for various mental disorders, including schizophrenia.
Believing marijuana is safe because you and all your friends came away apparently unscathed is like believing Covid is like the flu because you don't know anyone who died from it.
I’m not sure “safe” is the baseline standard for legalization. Excessive alcohol use kills about 170,000 Americans annually and we celebrate it constantly. Police resources could probably be put to better use if we redirected them toward more dangerous substances.
“Marijuana is a dangerous drug”….tell me you’ve never smoked weed without telling me you’ve never smoked weed. Listen, Linda!!!
