tbh, I think it should be legalised, but people should be considerate, ie not smoke it in restaurants

When I grew up in the states, we were shown lots anti-marijuana propaganda films at school. The rumor mills were worse!

In the third grade, some sixth graders told us that you would lose your mind and sleep with your mother…lol. I believed this BS for a long time.

Did all of you gentleman also get a healthy dose of over the top anti-drug propaganda too? What was the craziest non-sense told and how long before you challenged what you were told?

Honestly, I've never met a Marihuana addict that was sane.

Granted, but lost your mind and then commit incest? LOL!

only if Mamma is high, too

There is indeed a lot of stigma shadowing smoke. People often forget that cannabis doesn't need to be smoked.

If cannabis was legal but smoking cannabis was illegal, would that change opinion? Perhaps a regulation on smoking in public including tobacco.

According to state propaganda, THC would build up in the brain and be released at random times triggering psychosis months or years after intake. Smoking hash makes you run around naked begging people not to peel you because you are an orange. It would also make you antisocial, listen to Bob Marley and generally stupid.

One time we had a knower visit us in school. He told us the story about how his brother became a heroin addict because of reefer. I debated with him in front of all the other kids during this event and ended up tearing his whole story apart. After that I did some quick registry checks and it turned out that he didn't even have a brother and the whole story was made up. Shortly after the guy broke down, I was put in a serious you-can't-do-that meeting with the principal and they never allowed me to sit in on anything similar ever again. Instead, they made me do math as if that was some sort of punishment. I still remember him saying, with a shaky lip, "I don't want to talk to you anymore".
