[–] lIlIlIlIlIlIl@lemmy.world 25 points 3 months ago (4 children) Reefer Madness You’ll turn gay after one joint They’re spraying the weed with rat poison It’ll make you scromit Your skin will melt off These are all 100% exactly the same, in that they’re all propaganda permalink fedilink source hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] Watermark710@piefed.social 29 points 3 months ago (3 children) CHS is 100% a real thing, my wife has it. If she smokes more than a bowl a week, she will scromit. She developed CHS about 18 months after she first started smoking with me. I've been smoking for about 40 years, and I've never developed CHS. We're not sure exactly why some people get it and some people don't, but it is a real phenomenon that can happen to some cannabis users. I'm pro-weed, pro-legalization, and generally in favor of personal freedom. But pot is not for everyone. It makes my wife incredibly sick. My (adult) daughter gets panic attacks from smoking pot, so she abstains. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] BellyPurpledGerbil@sh.itjust.works 10 points 3 months ago (1 child) I get what you're trying to say. But the image OP displayed is actually propaganda. I get the feeling a lot of people don't know what propaganda means and think it's only something a government does to make you a gungho patriot. If the argument, info, message, whatever form of communication being delivered to you, is designed to appeal to your emotions, or sway your opinion, even if it contains some mote of truth, it's propaganda. Smokey the Bear is propaganda. To guilt you into not starting forest fires. It's for a decent cause, but it's no less a mascot designed to alter the behaviour of the populace. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 months ago A bit of a low bar, as this comment itself is Propoganda...

It may not be a cannabinoid issue, rather a reaction with some combustion byproduct.

And the US government absolutely sprayed fuckloads of weed with paraquat back in the day, we have declassified files about it, there were hospitalizations, lifelong issues like Parkinson's and even deaths from it. permalink fedilink source parent [–] anon_8675309@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (1 child) Reefer is many times more potent than it was back in Cheech and Chong days. I can see where there would be more side effects. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] sploosh@lemmy.world 1 point 3 months ago People have been extracting and concentrating cannanaboids for a long time.
