This notion that weed is grand needs some opposition

For me its just the smell.

Any other argument against it is pretty null and void when alcohol is not only easily got but also a social norm at any event.

Sure you have lifetime stoners, but you also have lifetime alcoholics.

There are strains which, after consumption, many people would struggle to sit down, such is the stimulation, physical and creative.

Cannabis is a much maligned substance. Mostly misunderstood, even by many of its most ardent admirers.

Like everything else, moderation is key. And sometimes total abstinence. If it's not for you then that's grand.

The problem with the strains argument (which I accept) is that most I assume are like me...they can get it but have no idea or control what strain they get.

I've a few friends take ketamine, cocaine, pills whatever. Wouldn't dream of ingesting cannabis. These same heads invariably slag off any cannabis use, it's beneath them somehow.

One thing thats generally common with people with psychiatric and psychological issues is a history of smoking weed

Its not a harmless drug however I do think simple possession should be legal

"It is also known that not everyone who uses cannabis, even at a young age, develops a psychotic illness. The available research shows that those who have a family history of a psychotic illness, or those who have certain characteristics such as schizotypal personality, or possibly have certain types of genes, may increase the risk of developing a psychotic illness following the regular use of strong cannabis."

So, you want the positives of using drugs, but you want to exclude the medicinal positive uses?
