Where do you read those things lol all drugs affect people differently and they all have negative side effects but damn I’m going to be straightforward here, most people take way worse drugs prescribed to them by doctors than smoking some flower. I hope mmj is federally legalized so they can study it more. There are actually a lot of benefits from cannabis. Thc (what gets you high) is just one cannabinoid out of hundreds. I used to work for a cannabinoid extraction company and it was actually really interesting to study also our bodies all have an endocannabinoid system, if you haven’t read about that it’s an interesting read. In the future 10-20 years we will see the true positives from it. Like I said before yes you’re right smoking can cause some people some major issues, but it’s not proven it’s because of thc or other cannabinoid causing that….. you can buy just pure thc so you’re not getting the other cannabinoids
