A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen

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.
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.
A bit of a low bar, as this comment itself is Propoganda... And I agree, everything is and should be treated like propoganda.
Smoking also produces a host of other chemicals, and like tobacco, plenty of harmful ones. It may not be a cannabinoid issue, rather a reaction with some combustion byproduct.
I'm not a doctor, so feel free to disregard any of that :)
We see this from vaping high dose THC.
There's still combustion byproducts in vape, just less
