      Zac nails something very true here. Men will drink thirty beers and beat their wife or molest their kids and alcohol is legal, but marijuana is not. That said, marijuana does have a serious problem: Instant relief from emotional pain. This can cause addiction issues. Here’s why:https://twitter.com/ZacSmall_/status/1285555333314863105 …

      Something I’ll never understand is the aversion to marijuana. Men will drink processed poison (alcohol). Smoke processed tobacco leaves (Cigars & Cigarettes). But smoking a natural plant that’s dried? “lazy bones hurrr durr”

      Emotional pain is meant to be worked through. Anxiety responses should be faced and made extinct. Depression is a harsh clue that life change MUST take place. Marijuana allows a person to stop feeling those cues that should inspire change. This isn’t always bad...

      But if a person uses ONLY marijuana (or alcohol, or even prescription drugs) to manage their symptoms, they never develop new coping skills to SOLVE their life problems and GET BETTER. They may even stop using old coping skills and GET WORSE. Then they NEED marijuana to cope.

      Again, this isn’t particular to marijuana. Anything can become addictive like this: Prescription meds, alcohol, heroin, porn, video games. Marijuana is a threat, though, because the side effects are so minimal it seems harmless to become mentally addicted. It’s so easy.

      Science has shown genuine uses for marijuana in managing a range of issues. But it does require careful management by each individual to make sure they don’t sink into it as it becomes their SOLE coping method. Collapsing into reliance on it for ALL emotional pain is a danger.

      This makes marijuana like prescription drugs in many regards. People become reliant on popping a trazidone when they feel upset. But marijuana doesn’t have to knock you flat like many as-needed meds. You can dose and keep going. Easier to get mentally addicted as sole cope.

      This isn’t a statement of what I believe policy should be. Every person needs to manage their addiction cycles and coping skills. But in my years of work, marijuana seems far too easy to get addicted and stop growing, never solve the problems. That’s the real danger I’ve seen.

          So my point stands that it’s the same as booze?

          In my eyes, it’s better for families than booze. Frankly I’d rather marijuana be legal than alcohol. That reversal won’t happen, but marijuana problems are typically so much easier to manage long term. Your post just got my brain churning. 🤣

          This is something I found very true, even tho I am not against the legalization, I fell into a cycle over using it to cover up my emotional problems. Loss of best friend, loss of a relationship that I saw as my future, etc. After ten years I have a lot of issues backed up. :P

          I haven't touched the stuff for almost three years and I will not again, unless I feel like I have dealt with those problems and have a stable life.

          Some people also have psychotic breaks, though. Maybe that's comparatively rare but still not something to take risks with.
