It also causes serious reduction in IQ when taken by minors. Only after age 21 does the actual medical risk go away.
It is another intoxicant that people seem to abuse MORE than liquor .... ever seen a pothead ever ADMIT that they were the smoking equivalent of an alcoholic?
Stoned driving is actually worse than DRUNK Driving. When you're drunk, you're definitely impaired. When you're stoned, you can completely forget what you're doing .... like forgetting that you're driving a moving car.
There is no field sobriety test that's immediate (like a breathalyzer) for weed usage for impaired driving cases.
In states where "MEDICAL USAGE" is approved, the lay public abuses the system so much that it's defacto LEGAL. Thus ABUSE is rampant and purely recreational usage is off the chart.
I've eliminated a few associates who just became weed smokers who were essentially USELESS and UNMOTIVATED.
We have a saying "Stoner logic" for a reason, aka, Stoners will do things that make no sense, but in their minds it does make sense, because they're stoned all the time.
Weed smokers don't seem to realize that they are still SMOKING. They light up near Non Smoking sections and always complain "Hey, it's not like it's cigarettes!" (again, Stoner logic)
I don't have a strong opinion one way or another, but I don't like how Weed militants overstate how benign and beneficial it is. The people I know who smoke a lot of weed are completely clueless and useless. I call it 'Liberal Democrat in a bong"......
