Anybody have a case for not legalizing cannabis? Currently the most dangerous thing about it is getting caught with it.

Epidiolex is legal - Federally - which is cannabis. Sativex, I thought, was in a Phase 3 and is just THC. The legal vs illegal debate largely ignores these two drugs. Just something to keep in mind.

The competing interests of private prisons and alcohol lobby.

smart

you have beautiful perspective

to clarify i mean thc not cbd

Epidiolex = CBD+ THC + CBC. Without the THC it didn’t work. DEA had to change the guidance after the FDA approved it.

I think people can get very dependent on it. All my friends that are pot heads say they arnt addicted but have addict behaviors. That being said I don’t like that agreement because the same could be said for alcohol not to mention we live in free country. Funny how liberals want less laws here and conservatives want more. In all it would create jobs boost revenues and a small handful will become addicted but for the greater good

Yeah much like any substance, best in moderation. Cannabis doesn’t create physical dependencies but it can definitely create psychological. The analogy i usually give is cannabis “addiction” is like a chubby person who loves chocolate. It’s not gonna impede your day if you don’t get the cannabis/chocolate but you’ll be thinking about it quite often. And yes I totally agree about the jobs, it has the potential to be an enormous industry. Although as someone previously said private prison lobbying plays a hand in preventing cannabis legalization and my educated guess is a handful of other lobbying industries(petrochemical industry being one) that would face a deficit if cannabis was legalized. Must be that conservative lobbyist reside on that side of things.

high driving fatalities going up in states where it was legalized. with no drop in drunk driving to offset it. I'm not necessarily anti-legalization but it's not all sunshine and rainbows.

oh, interesting

I've struggled with excess for as long as alcohol has been a part of my life. I'm at a low point after having too much on Sunday, being unproductive on Monday, and barely sleeping. It's this moment that makes me want to finally change. But I know when I'm feeling better, I'll think I can do this all again and next time it'll be fine. I've read tips here for being better and will try my hardest. Tia for listening.

Hot take: BMI is relevant to the vast majority of people. No, it is not the only metric we go by to measure health, but it does give you a general idea of where you stand if you're the average Joe Schmoe.

Yes, I know there are gym rats and body builders who would not be considered in the "normal" BMI ranges, however, we're talking about the outliers. How many of you can truly say you fall into that category? Cause I for one can't.

Let's stop lying to ourselves and eat healthier/hit the gym.
