It’s not realistic or even reasonable to avoid all pleasurable activities that come with risks, which weed falls under, until an entire third of your life is over, no.
We let people under 25 play contact sports, drink alcohol, and consume large quantities of sugar, all indulgences potentially more detrimental to the body than Marijuana.
Look at all the research on contact sports and the massive risks they bring, it’s weird to me those are still legal for kids.
Ah, so we allow lots of other detrimental and dangerous things, so we shouldn’t be so persnickety about this either. That’s what you’re saying. We should overindulge, not be overcautious.
Mayhaps if people were less of a removed about it, it would be realistic and reasonable.
Yeah. It’s carved to be vilified, which is hypocritical not just because there are other equivalent harms we allow young people to pursue for pleasure, there are several considerably more harmful harms we allow young people to pursue for pleasure.
All because an old newspaper magnate’s paper pulp business interests were threatened by hemp and it became tradition.
You can cause severe brain damage and kill people with alcohol, tobacco, and concussions. The studies I’ve seen about Marijuana in teens handwring over <5 IQ points with chronic use.
It can be, but it’s not realistic to expect everyone will. Especially 'til 25. Of course some people never try it. But someone who’s interested isn’t likely to wait that long.
it’s not realistic to not smoke weed until later in life?

It’s inconsistent to the extreme.
My intent was not to vilify weed. In fact, if I hadn’t found it before 25 I probably wouldn’t have even made it to 25. If you know what I mean.
I understand intimately, my friend!
Cumulative head injuries will harm a brain far worse than cannabis.
