“I’m talking about peer-reviewed scientific literature here, not conservatively-funded partisan drivel.”

I am as well. And my views on how addiction should be handled in our society is about as different to that of conservatives as it can get. Most official right wing positions on drug policy make me sick. But that still doesn’t mean that I need to put my head in the sand about pot being unhealthy, and I do not think it is helpful to cite other unhealthy things to buttress an argument.

I have watched people decline from eating too many calories, and from too many drugs. Amotivational syndrome, caused by smoking too much weed, is a cruel fate, and way worse in my opinion than obesity.

I guess it comes back to what I said earlier. Just know what the vice is that you are choosing, and make an educated choice.
