Read this 'comment' on a face-book post where a cute innocent kid is surrounded by Cannabis plants.

Too bad just another useless stoner, and depicting a child in a field of drugs is tantamount to child abuse! I hope that poor child is rescued from their irresponsible parent(s).

What's a little permanent psychosis amongst fellow stoners, that's not dangerous at all... I've seen so many people ruined by cannabis use I've lost count, it's ridiculous that people think this is alright to use simply because they don't want to give up being stoned into a state of pure apathy. What about paranoia, don't even try to tell me cannabis doesn't invoke it?
~
I used it for years and was shocked to see the difference in my overall behavior without it, from stoned idiot viewing the world through a drug induced template to being able to do anything I set my mind to.
~
Let's talk about 'Gateway Drug' while we are at it shall we? Please don't insult my intelligence by denying it, as an ex heroin user I can tell you exactly what led me to it! Your post makes me angry and disgusted to see this from a page calling itself 'The Science Scoop', grow up and stop promoting damaging behavior. If you want to waste your life and end up a psychotic dribbling twit keep it to yourself!

I choose not to imbibe a psychosis inducing drug, and have chosen not to for many decades now. I also choose not be exposed to anyone's second hand smoke, or even worse their third hand off gassing from the resins saturating their; skin, hair, and clothing. No I will not debate whether it induces psychosis, long experience and hard science, (not pseudo science by those who wish a rationalization to go on getting stoned), say it does.
~
I have a long educated and factual diatribe about cannabis that I will not post here, but to summarize it; I do not believe it should be legal, merely decriminalized as should all drugs including alcohol, the evidence for its harmful effects on the personality are overwhelming, those who choose to use a drug that can affect others by second and third hand exposure should be fined for said exposure then offered treatment,
(would a sane person expose a an infant to cannabis?), treatment to kick this insidious habit should not be optional.

Yes, I know from my own use of this drug that is habitual and addictive, Show me a user who can, (and will), easily walk away from using it for two years or more? All this comes from a lifetime of experience on my part, as well as that of many friends and family members destroyed by cannabis. Yes it is a gateway drug, Oh the shouted denial that statement will raise, but it is still true as I know from my own days on Heroin as a kid, (I started at 10 and kicked at 17 over 40 years ago), and the majority of those I knew during my evil youth graduated to a stronger high. Sadly most died of those stronger highs, as I nearly did many times.

Society cannot in all reason outlaw a plant; however where does that society draw the line at condoning its misuse by its members? A simple question; Belladonna, (from Deadly Nightshade), induces a potent high when imbibed, to the point of being a psychedelic experience, should our society smile upon its daily use? The evidence of where an apathetic and stoned society ends up is repeated throughout history as monuments of crumbling ruins, and I for one do not wish to repeat those social mistakes.
~
I do not judge those who use cannabis, or any other drug, but I do believe they need treatment and counseling to guide them away from being dependent upon them to numb away their own emotional troubles. If I have given offense with this comment I assure you none was intended, however I feel too strongly about this subject to ignore it...
