This might be unpopular here, but there are sometimes problems for people who use marijuana. Sometimes naming something can help us be aware of issues we didn't realize were in place.

To have cannabis use disorder, or CUD, a person must have two or more of such symptoms as craving weed, becoming tolerant, using more than intended, using marijuana even though it causes problems in life, using it in high-risk situations, experiencing withdrawal and being unable to quit, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

I mean, isn't alcoholism common in every state where alcohol is sold (read: all of them)?

Not discounting the study, but it seems like it's just pearl-clutching.

Like the statistic that your brain is still developing until the age of 26. Weed, too much. War (and everything else you can think of legally required at the age of 18), come on down!

Your brain is still developing until you die. That statistic is such garbage

Well, looking at the state of the world right now, it looks like some people stop developing at age 6

Let's not forget "consent" around 16 or so (12+ in some welfare states, IIRC?🤮🫩)... Can't die "for your country" yet, but feel free to squirt out a passel of morons while you wait for your shot at glory. 🤬
