If you're to believe half the people on the internet, weed is the cure for every fucking problem in the world.
I'm open to the possibility that there are benefits to regular cannabis use yet unknown, but those purported benefits should be supported by irrefutable evidence, not the bullshit or thin air most people rely on to support their claims. "Evidence suggests there may be a link between..." does not equal "Evidence proves there is a link between...".
Wait until there's proof before declaring with certainty.
After smoking pot everyday for more than a decade I can tell you that there are NO benefits to smoking it.
The only good thing about weed is that you get high, everything else is negative.
I love weed and I'll keep smoking it, but I'm not so stupid that I think inhaling smoke into ones lungs is beneficial.
It fucks your nervous system and memory, but it takes years and years. Most of the people who think it's "good for you" are teens, not old enough to have been smoking for fuck all time or with any real consistency.
That's why when I see a "weed is good for you" comment I just think "what a noob".
Because not many if any people are willing to test illegal 'drugs' on human subjects. And the long time stoners who it worked on never even knew they would have developed alzheimers.
Unfortunately, not many people willing to test illegal drugs means not much evidence, which means no proof as of yet. That means you can't make statements of certainty, only estimations and predictions. You can't proclaim "God gave us marijuana, to prevent such illnesses", or "you only need about a single puff a day to prevent Alzheimer's and preserve brain function" and be taken seriously.
It'd be brilliant if it turned out to be true, but you have to be patient and temper your language to reflect the current uncertainty, otherwise it's plain dishonesty and hyperbole.
What is the one thing you fear more than anything else?
