Pot, whiskey, heroin, crack, opium, vodka, etc - all good for you if I'm about to make you an amputee with my hacksaw during a bloody civil war or before.
All these things would work a marvel for the 'pain' and 'hole' that they must fill.
...but when one is 'not' suffering such things.
These 'remedies' suddenly become... dangerous.
They are like 'sharks' - very effective when dealing with such medical situations of intense need beyond biting a bullet.
But when there is no hole or pain, etc for them to aim for and be utilised - they start 'attacking' other things and what was once a hole to be filled, suddenly becomes a 'lump' to be tripped over.
Too much of a good thing, is bad for you.This says a lot in nearly everything today.
Give America too much 'freedom' and now look at it.
Medically, Pot is ok. It's a 'primitive' remedy, but works WHEN NEEDED.
Recreationally (or Non-Medically) its a debilitating killer joe.
With no 'justified' pain to attack, it attacks all else and dulls and enfeebles the senses.
If it becomes an 'addiction' - then it too becomes a chronic accomplice to the villian addiction 'ring of power'. There are way too many variations of outcome from this to list here.
Be it a grown male adult strangling a 6 year old girl to death because she knocked the mull-bowl off the coffee table and onto the thick carpet to just being too slow to react about a red-light in traffic and being the cause of a major death-ridden vehicle accident site.
Pot is a primitive, but justified 'medical' weed that does bring 'success'.
Pot for recreational, spiritual, ceremonial or any other reason like spiking troops in trenches to help them detach from the reality of them being used as sacrificial lambs - is pretty much scraping the barrel of justified uses.
There isn't even a 'political' reason for it to be used either.
Not one 'excuse' at all.
Personally, I blame the Hollywood and US Music Culture for its 'useless over-use and abuse' which has helped promote illicit and dangerous drug use to what it is today.
...but of course, I'm sure all these people of that culture will blame Trump for it all.
