Almost.

The only part that I think they fail on is potency, it is way more potent today than the 70's, but i don't think it's 300 to 400% more so.

Apart from that, it's back by scientific research that I've read and anecdotally witnessed.

So it wasn't pot, what did actually destroy your brain, oh I suppose you don't remember.
Welding fumes maybe? You remember welding don't you?

Ever stop and wonder if taking away the "getting-away-with-breaking-the-law" thrill might take away some of the high?

Probably. Alcohol lost a lot (but not all) of its appeal when I hit 19 and could get it easily.

All the potheads are using every possible attack venue, as usual. Why is it that humans simply cannot enjoy life without drugs or alcohol? Are you not ashamed of yourselves?

Probably for the same reason some folk let paranoia run their lives and propaganda run their mouths. Are you too ashamed to live and let live? It's a heck of a lot better for some sort of quality of life than the junk a doctor can prescribe for pain

They can, and no one is saying they shouldnt be allowed to. But telling others what they can and cant do with their own bodies whether it be for good or ill is going too far. I enjoy the occasional beer or glass of wine. I feel no shame over that whatsoever. As for pot and other drugs, I havent done any in years and decriminalization or legalization probably wouldnt change that. Those who do want to use for whatever reason should be able to.

Same old bullchit. I have lived with more than my share of pain and pot did nothing to help when i tried it years back. I ended up angry at myself for believing the druggy liars. Tell you what, have sciatica and just smoke pot, you will be fine, trust me.

It's not illegal. It's a fine.

It's fine with me too.

Hey skook I know what you mean but you have to experiment a bit, the high THC pot does nothing for my pain the high CBD pot frequently makes it pleasently bearable and sometimes disappear. The bag I've got now is high THC absolutely worthless except if you want to get dizzy and confused coupled with stupid. It's not enjoyable at all and offers no relief. And I forgive you for calling me a liar.
CBD for inflamation THC for frightening sstoned out of your mind.

It's like any drug. What works for some doesn't work for others. Who appointed your particular brand of suffering as standard for the entire human race?

I prefer pot for my pain over the pain meds. The pain meds mess up a lot of my system. The pot just made me a little fuzzy, as it more than just took the edge off the pain. Unfortunately other health complications made me quit toking. But the pain meds are supposed to be ok. But now I have to take other meds to keep the parts of my body the pain meds hinder, functioning properly.

Ain't modern science awesome.
