so you kind of overdose most of the time as the cannabis from then is not the same as the cannabis from now. It's something entirely different now and what association you had with it is not valid anymore.

Lol, you can't "overdose" on cannabis, unless over dosing is just taking a nap.

my personal friendships are several people who have lost family members to cannabis, either by schizophrenia or them getting smushy in the brain and stranding on the street or living by at minimum wage and healthcare.

Kinda just sounds like your using cannabis as an excuse to abandon your friends and family going through a rough patch.

healthcare for psychological evaluation and coordinating hospitalization and care. When cannabis was legalized some time ago, all who are working there could not believe their ears and eyes, they were horrified

Lol, you are clutching at pearls. I work in a hospital in an area of the US that's known for addiction. No one here cares about pot because it's nothing compared to dealing with patients addicted to meth, alcohol, or opioids. All of which are less popular now that pot is more widely available.

One correction would be claiming that "Putin is trying to fuck the West". It buys into the propaganda that Russia isn't really a "western" nation.

They have an odd bit of propaganda that Russians are "Eurasians", which is just a way they validate and distinguish their history of colonialism from the rest of Europe.

In reality they've always treated their Asian minority population as second class citizens, utilizing them primarily as cannon fodder to expand their colonial holdings.

That's fair, but people aren't stopping there. Mention any criticism from a leftist perspective and you get the same treatment.

It seems a lot of people here are conflating any criticism with disinformation. If you mention the war in Palestine people automatically roll their eyes.

Hamas committed genocide on October 7.

Lol, my dude. An act of terrorism is not the same as a genocide.

You're trying to normalize it by claiming Israel is also committing genocide.

I'm pretty sure it's not just me who thinks that, the ICC has warrants out for Bibis arrest.

It's not a numbers game. Israel is conducting a war with the goal to bring back the people Hamas is holding hostage (which is a war crime BTW).

Yeah.... That's why they've primarily killed women and children? Also, genocide is most definitely a numbers game.

Hamas attacked Israelis on October 7 with the goal to kill as many people as they can.

And that was a bad thing..... Right? So doing the same back, but killing several times more civilians is worse....right?

Prob isn't going to change your mind, but tobacco and alcohol both have higher chances of inducing some form of psychosis than cannabis.

CIP isn't very well studied yet, and is mostly symptomatic in patients that indulge in prolonged and heavy cannabis use at a young age. There hasn't been enough evidence collected to rule out correlative conditions like schizophrenia, which is known to be exacerbated by any psychoactive substance unlike cannabis.

There are of course people who shouldn't smoke cannabis on a regular basis, but for the most part, cannabis is a healthier choice for most healthy adults than alcohol, tobacco, and a large amount of prescription drugs.

Yes, and conservatives choose not to criticize him for being a shit head. My point is that it is the people's job to hold their elected officials to a higher standard, and we do that with valid criticism.
