you can't take out the political part with pot at this point, though. we're not talking about "they made it illegal, so people made up why it must be bad" or some nonsense like that. we're talking about decades and decades of pushing the agenda for various reasons. after nearly 100 years of lies and misinformation, of parents telling their kids and those kids telling their kids, you can't separate the beliefs now from their political roots. every single argument against it has either been for economic gain, or to marginalize the hot topic minority of the time. recent posts i've seen circulating heavily implied that LGBT individuals are the ones being targeted now by pot hate. i won't go into details. it was disgusting, and hidden entirely behind medical bullet-points.

and for the non-believers, the same can be said of believers in home remedies. no matter what you tell some of them, no matter what evidence you have that contradicts them, they'll still believe what they want to believe. they find references that support them because they're specifically written by people with the same state of mind as them.

like, do what you're gonna do, dude. but be careful and try to be objective.
