I personally think habitual heavy weed use is bad. I was an incredibly heavy user for a few years.
I used to think it should be illegalized.
I think now it should be "material conditions"ed out of harmful existence, if that makes sense. If we can create a socialist society with good mental health resources, good childcare resources for developing minds, and easily available stigma-free resources for people who struggle with dependency, that would check most of the boxes for me.
I don't think we talk enough about the negative effects heavy weed use has on developing brains, or on the brains of chronic heavy users. I think more research on that side, by a socialist government, would be good.
I was using it regularly and it helped me sleep and survive through bad part of my life. Luckily after some time I have found therapy that works and have stopped using it at all. I like it, I would like to use it once-twice a month, but it is just not possible. Most of my friends use it daily, not even thinking about quitting.
I have contradictory emotions toward it: I see it as necessary for some people, but also see how addiction it is.
But my opinion is that biggest problem is it is illegal, so dealers are pushed to grow and sell strongest possible hybrids which have much worse effect than original native '70s type weed.
Minimum is to allow one-two plants per person, so I can grow it cleanly and choose the strength right for me. "Legalizing" it by allowing only big corporation to grow it will have adverse effect.
I agree all around!
I'm glad you were able to find some therapy that worked!
Potheads are so infuriatingly slow for real.
Except we aren't, but okay.
More like you don't notice. Nothing wrong with using it recreationally but it is infuriating to deal with ppl under influence during work.
Every single weedbro (ya know, the kind that won't shut up about it), i've run in to, has been some flavor of politically illiterate libertarian.
might be because most people are politically illiterate lol, in my case most potheads tend to be illiterate leftists yk the ones that would put a che guevara shirt but hate fidel castro.
