@Tony L cannabis never killed anyone
It does over long term use. It makes people paranoid, lazy, useless, non-productive, it saps all energy, ability or will to create, causes long-term depression and due to that mindset so often leads on to other drugs (e.g. heroin). It is as bad as alcoholism IMO, though without the same levels of violence. As I say I’ve seen several people just spiral downwards over decades, one good friend, a really talented drummer, ending up losing everything and being found dead in his beat-up and decaying car. It is a pattern I have seen many times. Beyond the slightest casual use cannabis just sends people downwards, it destroys potential. Horrible stuff. I’m really pleased it makes me sick as I’d no doubt have gone down too if I could physically tolerate the stuff!
Anyway, this is the wrong thread for this argument, and conversely I do believe in legalising drugs (which is a whole other argument), but basically habitual stoners are losers IME. Some may not have lost everything yet, but they will almost inevitably be on a trajectory downwards as that is what the drug does. It just sucks life.
