I have never liked marijuana. I don't like effect, the smell, and I instinctively feel it just isn't good for you. However, it should be illegal. There are lots of things bad for you, processed food, alcohol, seed oils, the list is endless. People should be allowed to make their own choices. No one should be in jail or have a criminal record for being a pot smoker. If they are you should also go to jail for eating a Big Mac. Good to provide information so people can make an informed choice though.

People love pot because they hate God and want to escape the world he created. All mind-altering drug use is just a form of rebellion.

Should have never been on the Schedule 1 list! Should have been legalized decades ago. No one should be in our private prisons for it. I’m 68 and have indulged practically daily for the past 50 years! I take care of myself and have no health problems whatsoever. I hope to smoke til the day I die!!

I wouldn't put any value on anything printed in the 'Daily Fail'. For decades, they have run Reefer Madness-type articles, full of sensationalist, scaremongering rubbish. Yet they happily take lots of advertising from the truly society- and health-destroying alcohol industry. And would you believe anything from an organ that supported Oswald Mosley's British Union of Fascists in WWII?

The evidence that marijuana has risks is not evidence that it should remain Schedule I. It was only ever a political (not medical) decision to put it there. As if mentioning other drugs in the CSA Schedules justifies anything, how about this: Fentanyl is Schedule II, Marinol (a synthetic THC) is already Schedule III, and Valium and Xanax are only Schedule IV. Alcohol, caffeine and nicotine are not scheduled at all. The Danish study referenced in that very biased Daily Mail article showed that the 0.9% of those studied who were diagnosed with Cannabis Use Disorder had a higher incidence of schizophrenia, and they ASSUMED causation, that is, that the directionality of that correlation was that the cannabis triggered the schizophrenia.

Deep in the text of the article, they do, barely, admit that it could be the other way around (that people with schizophrenia might be more inclined to use cannabis to excess). Yet the headline makes it seem like 30% of marijuana users are going to develop schizophrenia.

Truly the potency enhanced by MAN is a major issue, just as Pharma (MAN) enhances a plant's inherent qualities, yet GOD created in the plant a balance and synchronicity. I doubt those who smoked weed pre MAN enhancement had much of these issues. Nature always trumps the EGO of man and it's also why GOD must be removed for the communist agenda to take over the world. Only GOD grants us our unalienable RIGHTS! and not man. Once you "get this" you cannot UN get IT! Just sayin...

I would trust homegrown or street pot more than anything the government approved for sale in stores. While there is SUPPOSED to be testing for adulteration; there are no limits on what pesticides, chemical fertilizers or water sources they can use and the levels of THC are getting ridiculous from selective breeding. In the 60s & 70s THC was 5-10%; now it is upwards of 30% in some strains. Nothing natural about this; instead of a mellow feeling; your heart will be jumping out of your chest and many strains from dispensaries literally smell like chemicals .

Any psychoactive substance long term is not a good thing. It does not provide true health. Long term users don't truly know how their bodies feel anymore. This works right into the plan for the Globalist Takeover and the Pharma Corporations will be reaping the benefits.
