JackGats Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 90% of the population in the US has sugar-and-fat use disorder. This includes symptoms like pork-bloating, developing fat bulges around the waist and neck, wheezing, having to walk with a perambulator, diabetes, impotence, heart failure, early death. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NedR69 Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 On 9/5/2023 at 7:55 AM, JBChiangRai said: Developing cannabis use disorder is relatively common in Washington state, one of the first states to fully legalize cannabis, and can even occur in people who only use medical marijuana, according to a new study. Many Americans wrongly believe exposure to marijuana smoke is safer than tobacco, study finds “There’s a perception that people who are using marijuana for medical reasons have a lower risk of a cannabis use disorder,” said lead author Gwen Lapham, assistant professor at Kaiser Permanente Bernard J. Tyson School of Medicine.

First you intimate there can't be a problem because no states in the USA have rolled back legalisation of cannabis. Then you use alcohol and tobacco as examples of greater problems that need to be dealt with before worrying about cannabis. Can you tell me which US states have recently rolled back legalisation of alcohol or tobacco? If none of them have, then, by your own logic, they must both be safe. Also, I'm not sure why you think USA legislation should be held up as some kind of shining example to the rest of the world? Look at the ridiculous gun laws and the fact the per capita murder rate in the USA is 20 times that in the UK. That Americans have yet to make the connection suggests a serious lack of insight at best.

Virtually any argument that is used to support the call to make cannabis illegal, can also be used to support a call to make alcohol illegal and cigarettes illegal. And almost all use the argument that cannabis is "addictive." It is not physically addictive. Heroin is physically addictive, cocaine is physically addictive, alcohol when abused can be physically addictive, nicotine is highly addictive physically. Cannabis in not physically addictive. I can take virtually every "Cannabis Use Disorder" and pair it to "Alcohol Use Disorder." Do you hear anyone calling for a legal ban on booze? Nope. Neither do I. My guess is that those who are banging away to get cannabis made illegal again are probably doing so with a beer in one hand and a cigarette in the other.

Tobacco, weed or any kind of smoke are not exceptions. Would I be anti-weed because of this obvious fact? Nope. Each to their own, I partake on occasion too and it clearly has benefits, but for folk to sit there and state tobacco smoke causes ill effects but weed smoke never will.
