The usual suspects are front-running the cannabis racket they put in place in both directions-collecting taxes on massively lucrative sales yet they are still putting lots of people in jail so they can be turned into cheap labor for the prison industrial complex. The status quo is a win-win and now the LA Times goes into hysterics because the govt. got exactly what it wants.

I believe a lot of the schizophrenics you see on the street, talking to themselves or in nonsensical gibberish, many of them (anecdotally) black men, have sustained mental damage due to extremely heavy pot use. Call me Reefer Madness Guy if you’d like. But this high THC content today is nothing like what was common in the 70’s when I was in college. It is absolutely blowing up these people’s minds and taking away any ambition to work and fit into a modern society in any constructive kind of way.
So weed did all of that by itself? How lonng you been a doctor?

And it is easier to extract freedoms from Americans when a substantial portion are stoned and docile, not to mention made more dependent on government by this “innocuous” drug.
Everything in moderation.

Crack , Meth and alcohol has plenty to do with mental illness, not the weed.

100% — it weakens our states and thus our country. A weakened system attracts deadly parasites and allows them to flourish.
