RE: I Have a Long-Term Relationship with Marijuana

Thanks for sharing this story with us. I have like no relationship at all with Marijuana but I do think it has great benefits and it should be given a legal chance...

I don't know if its positives outweigh the negatives because I do believe it has a few, but I feel that as long as it's in nature, then its there for a reason — to probably help humanity in some way (just as it did help you and others as well)

Right now, I don't think I am in need of it but I am so open to using it when the need arises for me

You must be so lucky to have grown up surrounded by much information about Marijuana. All I knew about it while growing up was that "its a hard drug" (i was thought in school😀).

I do think the issue isn't with the plant in itself though, but how it's being used by people. The reason for making it illegal will probably be to "protect" the people (or is it just hiding under that?) Well, adults should be allowed to make their own decisions sometimes, even when it may seem like a bad one...

Thanks for sharing your knowledge and story with us!

I think primarily the concept of criminalizing marijuana over alcohol is simply quite strange to me. I think we all know someone in our lives who has struggled with alcoholism, and we may even have a family member or someone close to us who has died from it (my family has). I don’t know anyone who has passed away from cannabis...or anyone who is an addict the way an alcoholic is, you know? I also don’t see many cannabis-related driving accidents--especially not compared to drunk driving. I question why something that seems a bit safer, is illegal -- and something that causes death every day is so normal. The world is a weird place.

Nah, I don't. I guess it was easier for it to be legal because it has always been a part of most cultures and is somewhat acceptable

Alcohol sure isn't the good guy, i do wonder what they were thinking, really... Maybe there is some sort of conspiracy?
