Stop Treating Marijuana Like Heroin
While I&#x27;m totally for drug (all drugs - not just cannabis) legalisation&#x2F;regulation, I do think the &quot;dangers&quot; of marijuana have been really downplayed over the last few years.<p>I know a lot of people at university who got into smoking it very often and basically lost 10+ years of their life to complete apathy to anything. Some have now stopped and are totally different people - just 10 years behind.<p>While it doesn&#x27;t cause overdose, cirrhosis or criminal activity from the user, it does become very addictive for some people and causes them to be extremely unmotivated in their life.<p>Is this as bad as heroin or crack? No obviously not, but a lot of people end up really trapped by it.
