Honestly, I kind of think my country (France) forbids weed today because of all the bullshit of the Reagan era and it’s pretty infuriating.
Their depiction of weed as some super dangerous class 3000 hardcore drug ended up as some kind of standard for most of the developed countries.
It sucks.
It’s just indication to the fact, that the biggest part of our assumed development, our democracy, or our rule of reason is but a delusion.
Especially when it has medicinal applications.
Just like morphine. That doesn’t mean it’s not dangerous
If you think morphine is comparably dangerous to cannabis then you’re nuts.
I never said it was, just that it being used as a medicine doesn’t make it “safe”
I’m not one of these people that thinks it cures cancer or anything. But comparing it to morphine just muddys the waters.
It is absolutely safe enough to be recreationally legal. Morphine is not.
Yeah we know you’re a weed addict, but according to whom is it "safe enough to be recreationally legal?
As someone who’s drank alcohol and smoked cannabis, yeah alcohol is absolutely more dangerous/obstructive to normal function but no one bats an eye if you go home after work and have a couple beers.
Hell when I was in the military it was practically expected that you were going to show up to work hungover since there wasn’t fuck all to do.
Smoke a joint on leave? Kicked out, you’re the worst soldier/sailor/marine/airman that’s ever existed.
It’s an absolute joke that alcohol is considered safe enough to be legal but cannabis isn’t. Of the two, alcohol should be the illegal one.
Wow, you really did just type “weed addict” without a trace of irony, didn’t you?
Why does it even matter if it’s safe? Why shouldn’t you be able to make the decision for yourself?
Yeah, those damned marijuana cigarette smokers are all whippersnappers, just bad eggs all around! I would never condone ANY devils lettuce, just say “Fiddlesticks to you!”
The governments of Canada, Uruguay, United States, Spain, Jamaica, France, Greece, India…
23 countries have recreational cannabis laws.
Sit down, shut up, and fucking keep up to date.
And the term “weed addict” is some fucking refer madness bs.
Oh man. Bless it’s heart.

just like…
See what you did there?
Reading comprehension is fucked.
Yeah, it had medical applications “just like” morphine. It isn’t “just like” morphine. Fucking hell.
Being medicinal doesn’t make it not dangerous, but thankfully, reality does.
As safe as trash food, porn and a sedentary and isolated life?
You’re just judging everyone now, huh?
Yes, we all have vices but that’s no excuse to justify them
And you sitting there judging everyone based on your norms, what’s this doin for ya?
Smoking weed will make you… DUTCH!
A fate worse than death
agreed, being tall would be cool tho
It’s just bewildering to prohibit a plant that is easy to grow, serves a lot of uses, and doesn’t easily get you killed.
I’m also in Europe, and still trying to cope with the fact that I got into trouble with the law for tending a garden. Well I guess at least it re-radicalized me for all it’s worth.
I had a similar experience with my poppy field ringed with gympie gympie.
I’m all for legalisation, and I’m a regular user, but the fact that it’s a plant has always struck me as a weak argument. We can do better.
It’s one tier better than “It’s natural!” (So are asbestos, arsenic, and anthrax.)
considering how much French society despises US policy, I’m kind of amazed that France is still prohibitionist - that really does suck mate.
Or maybe because it’s a drug (alcohol and tobacco are too ingrained in society to be outlawed, and despite that tobacco consumption is decreasing)
I mean there are tons of drugs which are perfectly legal, so I don’t really see that as a sound reason to outlaw it.
“Tons of drugs” literally just tobacco and alcohol
And caffeine And acetaminophen And ibuprofen And sildenafil And benzodiazepine And fluoxetine And sertraline And spironolactone And cetirizine …
Those can hardly be considered drugs
And yet caffeine is more addictive with stronger withdrawal effects.
You should give up, it’s clear to everyone that you’ve never used the substance and have all your information from drug-war era reefer madness propaganda.
It’s also clear that most people that defend it want their vices legalised
You are wrong
Eh, I’m not a fan of that definition. Technically Water meets the requirement and even skips the “food for nutrition” out that they give.
As a former pharmacy tech, ahem, “ya wrong”
You might want to look up what the definition of ‘drug’ is…

Okay I’ve had enough it’s time for me to tell you that you are completely out of touch with reality. Now that you know this, you can overcome your ignorance with a little awareness. Good luck, it’s going to be a bit of a battle to get your perceptions straightened out.
No, I will not poison my lungs with weed
I “abuse” sildenafil because I get it through someone other than my GP and take it recreationally when swinging.
It is absolutely a drug.
hm sounds like you’re enjoying yourself way too much sure that must be bad in some way? /s
I need me a jazz cigarette, I’m having the shakes, Daddy-O!
I need some of that devil lettuce to get in the groove.
mmmMMmmmm MMM! I do love me some lazer lettuce, that jazz cabbage doobee do it every time
all the good guys are smoking cigarettes bemoaning the dangers of the devils weed.
are they cigars, I can’t tell
Yeah man, I could also really go for a marijuana about now
Be careful, you cannot do more than four marijuanas a year to avoid addiction

Talk to your friends about freebasing marijuana. Otherwise you’ll identify their bodies at the morgue.
This tracks
One marijuana, please
me when I run out of cheetos
me irl
That man really needs to sniff some weeds.
You want him to talk coherently after having “a marijuana?” Yeah, good luck with that!
Me after 2 hours in the office
Many of us, I think. Work sucks.
Tbf, my brother absolutely freaks the fuck out if he goes too long without a joint. He acts more explosively angry than itching invisible bugs, but the feeling behind it is the same.
Does he smoke with tobacco? Smoking with tobacco does that to me
No, he’s just got a host of issues. For some people, weed just exasperates that, and he’s one of them.
Makes sense. THC withdrawals been linked to aggression.
He has other issues then that he needs to deal with.
You think the guy above doesnt?? Lol.
He needs running through with a flaming duffel coat.
That looks and feels like a colorized panel from a Chick Tract but I can’t seem to find the source. Anyone know where it came from originally?
Oh, I need to get my hands on a copy of that! There’s a spot on my office wall that is always off camera, perfect place for a blown up print. :)
Wait so it is isn’t real just a satire?
