    It is an alternative to a recreational drug that has a much worse track record. If your take is nobody should use recreational drugs ever, your opinion is invalid in this conversation.

      It’s not my point. People have been using different form of narcotics for ever. The real question is why though. In this day and age where mental health is important. Why don’t we try and go to the root of the problem, if there is a problem that is. So many self medicate and use this point, that it’s the best alternative: as a shield. Completely ignoring any negative impact it might have. However no opinion is invalid. Perhaps you don’t agree with me. But that’s fine for me, I’m not here to argue like that.

        The real question is why though.

        It is fun? EVERYTHING is bad in excess. Based off your own wording, it seems like you think all drug use is drug abuse.

        Also, if you are Pro-choice, you should know that there are some conversations where not everybody’s opinion is valid.

          Bot drug use, but it’s a slippery slope for far too many. Not all, but many. There’s a stigma and a hardcore belief that you cannot get addicted, no way no how. The negatives are something to be aware of. To be able to make an informed decision. Based on my wording there shouldn’t be anything indicating that all use is abuse, but I’ll have to backtrack to make sure.

            I think we are having two seperate conversations, you are talking about drug abuse/habitual addiction, while I am addressing your original comment of “name one positive about weed.”

            The main topic of the OG post is about legalization of weed.

              Also to your edit on the last reply, this is not a topic of pro choice. This is an entirely different discussion, where all opinions are valid. We’re not talking about pro choice here. I’m also not American so “pro choice” or “pro life” is not even a discussion where I’m from. Don’t get it twisted. However, this whole conversation with you is starting to feel very unproductive and tiresome. So, good night. Peace, have a great life my friend.

              Yes. You can read the sentence “name one positive thing about weed” as confrontational or as a start of a discussion. You can enter the discussion hostile or factual. All up to you. People didn’t take it very well (see the downvotes). And I can see why, people think it’s “name one good thing because weed fucking sucks man”. However, it wasn’t. It was meant as “name one thing” simple. And then I have a cautionary tale, wich is not something that wants to be discussed. It’s usually “no it’s all good because it’s better than alcohol and opioids and it helps me”. Wich are all valid point, but not the only point. To really help people and be preventative, we need to look at all the experiences. I have more than ten years of it. It counts. My story is not the only story, but I share it with many. It should not be overlooked.
