As abuse. Like if somebody tokes on the weekend or has a single beer neither is a problem.

As I mentioned prior I know people that have abused it to point of psychosis hospitalization, and completely destroying their job/education. You just have to define the amounts for abuse, and those will be different per drug.

Yeah just could let it sit with people believing its causation

I think alcohol abuse destroys lives, but so does Marijuana abuse. One isn't better than the other.

As a former Brit, we like crunch in sandwiches by adding potato chips to them.

You are being down voted but this exact thing happened to somebody I know. The repeal of criminalization, without a better education plan, gave them the idea that "Oh its fine now". They became addicted to smoking it, spent all day every day just hitting a bong. Stopped working, had to repeat a year at uni to get courses on track. They've had to completely abstain, or they fall back into the spiral. Some people get addicted to alcohol, some its another drug entirely.

I don't have skin in the fame either way, but this is interesting https://poppot.org/2023/04/17/child-abuse-deaths-linked-to-thc-top-300/

It's real, a person I know went through it. They basically just smoked a bong all day, every day. Creates a paralysis like effect on your intestines, so stuff doesn't go down has to come out

That's correlation though. The reason you get prescribed antidepressants is a bias pick for already being a risk to self.

Yep, my now canadian colleague changed after he got his citizenship. He then voted for the party that was going to block immigration. Like WTAF dude, it is how you just got here.

I know its not a real solution, but that is one reason we moved from Ontario to BC, BC has way better social support services.

Agreed. I'm not a gun owner but was around guns as a kid (dad was a hunter) and he was super into safety of the whole thing. Except my friends dad wasn't so safe, he had us reloading shotgun shells via purpose built relaoding carousal as kids. My friend had no qualms about it, but I'm like dude make sure the primer isn't skewed when the shell comes down, careful with that. I had visions of a crimped primer setting off the powder lol
