Honestly, I kind of think my country (France) forbids weed today because of all the bullshit of the Reagan era and it’s pretty infuriating.
Their depiction of weed as some super dangerous class 3000 hardcore drug ended up as some kind of standard for most of the developed countries.
It sucks.
It’s just indication to the fact, that the biggest part of our assumed development, our democracy, or our rule of reason is but a delusion.
Especially when it has medicinal applications.
Smoking weed will make you… DUTCH!
A fate worse than death
agreed, being tall would be cool tho
It’s just bewildering to prohibit a plant that is easy to grow, serves a lot of uses, and doesn’t easily get you killed.
I’m also in Europe, and still trying to cope with the fact that I got into trouble with the law for tending a garden. Well I guess at least it re-radicalized me for all it’s worth.
I had a similar experience with my poppy field ringed with gympie gympie.
I’m all for legalisation, and I’m a regular user, but the fact that it’s a plant has always struck me as a weak argument. We can do better.
It’s one tier better than “It’s natural!” (So are asbestos, arsenic, and anthrax.)
considering how much French society despises US policy, I’m kind of amazed that France is still prohibitionist - that really does suck mate.
I need me a jazz cigarette, I’m having the shakes, Daddy-O!
I need some of that devil lettuce to get in the groove.
mmmMMmmmm MMM! I do love me some lazer lettuce, that jazz cabbage doobee do it every time
all the good guys are smoking cigarettes bemoaning the dangers of the devils weed.
are they cigars, I can’t tell
Yeah man, I could also really go for a marijuana about now
Be careful, you cannot do more than four marijuanas a year to avoid addiction

Talk to your friends about freebasing marijuana. Otherwise you’ll identify their bodies at the morgue.

One marijuana, please

PAWS is no joke, though.
And after being through enough stop cycles with it I can tell you that there are physiological addiction issues with strong cannabis.
Loss of appetite, insomnia, pressured speech, sweating, night sweats, and irritability for up to seven to ten days is super common for people stopping regular usage and abusive usage.
Those are also typical symptoms of people forcing a change in habits. An acute change if you will.
Imagine someone who works remotely - when they’re informed they now have to do a 2 hour car commute everyday for no reason other than to see the boss even if it means less productivity.
Those symptoms seem like a fairly normal response.

Yeah, it does. I’m all for legalization. But awareness is important.
Do you have any source besides “trust me bro”? The Wikipedia article you linked does not mention marijuana anywhere.
I have seen people experience strong withdrawal symptoms when they quit vaping THC. Shakes, massive irritability, sweating, etc. It’s minor compared to opium or alcohol withdrawal, but it looks very unpleasant as an outside observer.
I’ve seen people have those same symptoms when quitting coffee.
Caffeine is also addictive. The symptoms I saw from THC withdrawal were a lot more pronounced than any coffee withdrawal I’ve seen though. To be clear, I’m talking about strong vape, or dab, not leaf. The dab wax you can buy today is 3x stronger than the hash people used to go to Amsterdam to get when I was younger.

That Wikipedia article has zero mentions of cannabis.
PAWS is no joke, though.
While post-acute withdrawal syndrome has been reported by those in the recovery community, there have been few scientific studies supporting its existence outside of protracted benzodiazepine withdrawal.[8] [9] Because of this, the disorder is not recognized by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders[10] or major medical associations.
Maybe not a joke, but it doesn’t sound like it’s taken very seriously
The article you linked mentions it isn’t a recognized syndrome.
*Edit: That’s not to say I disagree it exists; I’ve even felt similar things for a few days after stopping cannabis use. But if the scientific jury is out then it should probably be disclosed that this is the case.
You want him to talk coherently after having “a marijuana?” Yeah, good luck with that!
That man really needs to sniff some weeds.
Me after 2 hours in the office
Many of us, I think. Work sucks.
He needs running through with a flaming duffel coat.
That looks and feels like a colorized panel from a Chick Tract but I can’t seem to find the source. Anyone know where it came from originally?
Oh, I need to get my hands on a copy of that! There’s a spot on my office wall that is always off camera, perfect place for a blown up print. :)
Wait so it is isn’t real just a satire?
