This might be unpopular here, but there are sometimes problems for people who use marijuana. Sometimes naming something can help us be aware of issues we didn't realize were in place.

To have cannabis use disorder, or CUD, a person must have two or more of such symptoms as craving weed, becoming tolerant, using more than intended, using marijuana even though it causes problems in life, using it in high-risk situations, experiencing withdrawal and being unable to quit, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

so basically - per the CUD symptoms, simply enjoying weed means you have this horrible affliction

using marijuana even though it causes problems in life, using it in high-risk situations

I think these two are important to avoid.

Except, swap in another word instead, and the statement is still true. Logical fallacies. Memorize them, train yourself to recognize them, and maybe just maybe it'll help filter out propagandist bullshit. Maybe.

I blame D&D, frankly.

If us RPG geeks has just kept it super-uncool for just a little while longer, maybe these puritanical fuckstains would've kept their focus on us and left our friendly Scoobies & Shaggies out there alone. 🙇🏽‍♂️

Sorry, y'all. I did nazi this coming: weed legal and gamers get laid on the reg? Thafuq timeline did I grow up into? (Still, no jetpack, hover boards, or UBI, so... 🤷🏼‍♂️)
