Im a conservative, as such I believe others have the right to do as they please so long as it does not infringe on the rights of others.

Some folks self medicate with cannabis or cannabis products to try to compensate for other mental health issues....

I personally have never tried smoking pot. Some of my friends do, to relive pain, stress and to sleep. I rarely drink alcohol either. I had my first drink when I was 34. Never found it relaxing to get bombed or high, it is just not for me. I would rather spend my money on guns, fishing and golf.
I went to a bon fire the other weekend. I was there with my close friends. They walked away and started smoking pot. I was actually stunned, because I didn't think either one of them did that. One is an engineer for Boeing and the other is a retired chief of police. I don't know why, but it really bothers me that they were doing this. Now I feel funny being around them. Guess I'm an old fart like my dad, but I am also glad, that I am just like him.

How about people, a few of whom are members here, that take Oxy or other opioids daily for pain, would you feel "funny" being around them or others that drink alcohol?
Pot is probably the safest drug one could use for pain or anxiety.

First of all this notion that smoking pot can affect your memory is simply false I can assure you, wait, I forgot what I was gonna say 😵

Yeah, I did. Then I saw him with the steering wheel stuck in his forehead when he had a head on with another car. A high school kid don't need to be seein' stuff like that.

Like everything else, moderation if you want to- plus you don’t have to actually smoke, gummies and a cold Coors ain’t that bad

I have to think some times its part if the big plan
Why they don't Crack down hard on drugs and users
Let them get strung out and high easier for politicans to get what they want with less resistance
Pass out more needles and drugs even safe space to do them in no one goes to jail every one gets lots narcan to have on hand just in case they party a bit too much

Same. I voted for the legalization of recreational MJ in Missouri. It passed.
I have no interest in consuming / smoking it myself though. I tried it after college / the Army. I didn't care for it. The experience seemed to last longer than just being drunk.
Regarding addiction, I've cut way back on alcohol. I can have a beer or mixed drink once in awhile and not feel to need to drink the whole bottle or case of beer in one sitting. I don't need to have a drink every single night.
I'm still addicted to cigs though. However, they don't cause you to loose control of your behavior, inhibitions, or driving skills.

I was 17 in 1968. The message was, "Turn On, Tune In, and Drop Out."
You were supposed to smoke grass and take other things. Two of my friends took it at face value, got into smoking pot three times a day, and they wasted their lives by "being groovy" and smoking a joint 3 times a day, morning, noon, and night. Charlie and Sam crawled into a bag of pot and stayed there for 50 years. Sad.
Sam married a gal when he was 20 years old, and she has supported him for the past 50 years, he has never had a job. Charlie lived in Mommie's basement for 50 years. Never had a job.
But they both had hair down to their belt, so they looked cool.

Sounds like Sam had it all figured out!
Just sayin'
