So the biggest negative about the legalization of cannabis is an increase in hospital admissions due to inadvertent edible use. And more children-young adults admitting they consumed cannabis. Though i wonder if relaxed views on its use prompted more under aged people to truthfully admit to its use then an actual increase in use.
There is need for adults to better monitor their drugs but other then that it seems to be a massive success.
We can’t ignore how it’s impacted traffic safety, though.
DUI, for example, seems to have skyrocketed since legalization. , while drunk driving didn’t budge.
Yup, just imagine the gall it’d take to look at the US prison system full of drug arrests and think, “Well, it’s working alright for them.”
I am so elated that a safe hallucinagen is no longer restricted and causing social woes.
Cannabis isn’t a hallucinogen. You could call it a “recreational drug” when not used for medical purposes.
Cannabis is traditionally classified as a hallucinogen. For example, the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) considers it as such.
I clearly need to get better weed then… I don’t see, feel, hear, taste, or smell anything that’s not there when I’ve had some gummies. All I get it a good night’s sleep.
Every drug is a recreational drug when not used for medical purposes.
Sure. Did you think I was implying otherwise?
I thought you were implying that hallucinogen and recreational were two types of drug. So yeah, kinda.
I see. I was just using an umbrella term.
