Yeah, since they outlawed ganja. In 1969 they were peaceful countries you were free to travel through. Now? Well, you're right.

Interesting response! ????

It's CNN. I don't know what the editors of AN had in mind by putting it up here. The whole article relies on a multitude of papers published in America, which nobody will read here. So really it just amounts to a troll. So I picked out the headline and worked on that.

 

I never said I used all 3 here. I debunked all the, to me, totally irrelevant academia by suggesting that cannabis use has been around for a lot longer than these academics and the multitude of papers they've churned out. Makes a lot more sense to me than getting into an argument about it. Maybe the irony is, people smoke weed just to get away from the every day tedium of research, results, and statistics. I mean, you'd never order another pint of cold Guinness if you thought there might be a bed waiting for you in an ICU somewhere as a result, would you?

Oh not reefer madness ...same same as crack head madness...except it is not.  
Reefer and crack have about as much in common as beer and heroin.
