> You very clearly have a dangerous bias against THC and it's clear in your rhetoric

On the topic of biases, I wonder why you consider theirs to be "dangerous".

Regardless, their biases to seem to stem from a certain personal experience with marijuana, particularly their friends' habits with it. It's possible this person's "friends who spend majority of their day high" have a substance abuse problem even if not everybody who uses the substance abuses it.



I responded to a similar question below:

> Because THC is shown to be an effective care for many mental and physical problems. THC itself can be dangerous or even very dangerous (psychosis risk etc) but this doesn't warrant being so overly cautious that we miss the forest for the trees. Facts show THC can be a very effective palliative tool, and it's unclear how much damage you can do with short-term regular use.

To add, it also leads to apologism of (or apathy for) locking people up for consuming THC.
