Also, In response to mainstreams false claims that Cannabis is a gateway drug to watch out for:
Alcohol is definitely a greater Gateway drug than cannabis. Matter afact if many opioid users had access to OG Kush and top end Headsmoke when they were younger, I doubt many of them would have felt the need to go further than that. In non medical states, many people binge drink a lot more when all they have is commercial weed or regs - because alone the effects doesn't do it for them. When a lot of them get ECSD, OG Kush, or Chem D when they make the rounds. They drink much less, and some not at all - to preserve as much of the pure cannabis effects as possible. High end strains can be pure bliss.
I've heard many more stories of people trying hard drugs when they were really drunk, not as a result of smoking weed... With cannabis you can actually make decent judgements, maybe outside of depth in some situations, and not engage in things you don't even remember doing or had no thought going into why or why not to try or do something.
Not that I support the BS drug war in any sense, or the unreasonable pressures by authorities - but ask any cop who they would rather deal with, someone who smoked a joint or someone belligerently drunk - I think they would choose the pot smoker who wasn't completely inhibited to the point of not knowing what they were doing to others.
