These haters are as brainwashed as the congregation they come from. They parrot. They never get "their own" take. They parrot, and they hate those who out their parroting as bullshit.
its probably easier to break away from pot than a lot of the other truly harmful things people take....
Legal Prescription drugs (opiates) kill more people in this country today, than all the illegal drugs combined. That is a fact.
Doctor prescribes to many pain killers to a patient--they get addicted--then get cut off and they then go out on the streets buying black tar herion. Two weeks later they're dead from an overdose.
Kentucky and several other southern states have a huge problem with this.
Ironically in states that have legalized marijuana--drug related addictions & deaths are DOWN.
Interestingly enough, the first year that CO legalized marijuana for recreational use, opiate overdoses went down 25 percent, and have continued to drop.
I also saw a show in the VICE channel called "Weedequette" that did an episode where it showed a treatment place that was using marijuana and THC oils to treat heroin withdrawl. Why did they do that? Because when a person quits using heroin, they are nauseous, jittery, and have bad joint pain. What does a good Indica do? Relieves nausea, calms a person down and relieves pain. Their success rate so far is around 60 percent, which is unheard of numbers for heroin addicts.
And, there were some addicts that said it was better than methadone for treating withdrawl.
