Elton John Says Legalizing Marijuana in America and Canada Is “One of the Greatest Mistakes of All Time” - Lemmy.World

I spent age 16-25 a constant pothead. I mean, some weeks I’d just never be sober. My friend said that I sat up in bed, opened the drawer, pulled out a baggie, packed a bowl, smoked 2 hits, and then layed back down. All without waking up, or stop snoring.

I have never once done any other drug. I’m 42 now, and haven’t smoked weed in about 10 years.

I know others with similar stories. Weed does not lead to other drugs. Your choices do.

Improper education leads to other, harder drugs. See DARE
Good call. I had my first intro to drugs in 3rd grade health class. I walked away thinking weed was the absolute worst thing you could do, but meth and acid were alright. I later found out that lesson was right in only one regard.
I mean acid and a few other psychedelics are ok. Meth abuse is harmful for sure, same for many opioids except when used in a medical setting or if you actually need them.
