My personal experience is that there are people who'll smoke marijuana to the point of not functioning properly in everyday life. It does appear that it is less addictive than alcohol but it's important that people realize that marijuana is not problem free and not a cure all. Which is sometimes the rhetoric from people who pushed for legalization.

The thing i've noticed with people like that though, is of they weren't smoking weed to ruin their life, they'd be addicted to video games, or alcoholicss or they get tummy aches, or have so much anxiety they can't go outside or interact with people, or just have some other debilitating addiction or excuse that stops them from getting on with life. Some people just don't function in life...weed or not.

They can deny entry for pretty much any reason. You are correct that the US border policy with Canada doesn't make any sense.

This will be very interesting to watch. So far the marijuana debate seems to be stifled by the lack of hard evidence of what would happen were the drug legalised in a developed Western nation. Uruguay is different enough from the US etc. to be discountable, but Canada is not. Many advocates for legalisation will show how it is expected to reduce the overall harm from the drug. It will be interesting to see if this pl…

It's been legal enough in California for years and recreational use is now explicitly legal in Alaska, California, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Nevada, Oregon, Vermont and Washington (with legal changes pending in other states). US national laws are certainly a different case, but the debate is hardly "stifled".

I've heard of people quitting 1000$ a month cocaine habit and then adopting a 2000$ a month kratom habit. Kratom must absolutely not be hailed as a miracle drug.

I need all negative reports about it :) Was kratom causing craving and crippled life ? (basically searching for drug and then high, {loop}). If 2000$ kratom gives you a normal life it "may" be worth the price.

It certainly isn't completely harmless, very few things are. Subjective perspective - smoking is really bad, can be dramatically improved with good vaping but its still harmful. One of the great side effects of legalization - health-conscious people have less damaging options for consumption. Eliminated by eating the material, but then effects are a bit different. There have been some rumors on lower sperm count/lowe…

Munchies can be about eating anything. Just make sure you got plenty of fruits and veggies or go for a long session of oral sex. Nobody ever got in bad shape for eating a full bag of baby cut carrots or a whole tray of peaches.
