Note that doesn't mean I'm against legalization, just that some of the pro-marijuana claims are a bit overblown.


Way back when I was a regular hippy-dippy pot smoker, I would occasionally mention that I wondered what this stuff did long term.  I was reassured by my friends that pot was positively good for you, that it 'cleared out the lungs', left nothing behind in your body, and essentially had no effect at all.  This made very little sense to me, since the whole point of pot was that it 'had an effect' and even if it were true that the pot itself did nothing to one's lungs, what about the paper it was (often) wrapped in?  My first experience with the illogic of the committed, I guess.

I did notice that about a year after I quit smoking, I was able to recognize the ways in which it had affected me mentally and emotionally, and it wasn't for the better.  But we all respond to things differently, so this is not to say that my experience was typical.   I'm not against legalization either, but I do worry about the extra strength compared to my youth and the reports of younger people having mental issues.
