Weed is bad for you.
I smoke weed. When I do so, I am making a trade. The negative effects it has on my body for the desired effect it has on my brain. I believe the American War on Drugs is a misguided Reagan-era monster. Our excessive drug laws have turned our prison industry into anther monster.
However. With all the feel-good talk about cannabis these days, people have to remember that it is still bad for their bodies. Think cigarettes. Same type of thing. I feel bad when I see people start smoking weed and feel that it is perfectly harmless because of cannabis activism. Know your drugs before you take them.
I agree, listen to your own experience, not what people tell you. But you should also look for what people don’t tell you. Look who your sources are, and get to know both sides of the debate.
