I'm fairly indifferent to all that

I don't agree or disagree really

I just have common experiences of people I've known. Some like you say who have been fine and can handle it. They're usually ones that admit they're best just doing it once every couple of weeks

Then there's the ones I've known that have a spliff the moment they wake up, and at lunchtime, and then various ones in the evening. Those are the ones I saw the negative sides in. Ie doing it to chill but not realising in the slightest that the reason they were falling out with people quite regularly, was the coming from the very thing they were doing

I was even fine with that if that was just a side a effect, cos it's up to the individual to regulate their intake, just like it is to smoke and drink responsibly

The bit which makes me glad I never touched it, or other drugs, was the last year of a mates life. Where he was doing the stuff daily, but was mixing up his memories

eg, his thought process would make him believe someone was said and happened. The events did, but he'd convey them to the wrong person. So he'd accuse me of nicking his drink, when in his head, the guy he worked with nicked his drink on a night out 3 weeks ago

To him it's true, and it was me, but in reality his head had confused the memory. That would lead to him calling me a liar, or jesting with me that I'm having him on.

I couldn't give any examples of him around other people and getting muddled, but he was arguing with a lot of people on different nights in his last years. Once I fathomed out the drink example above (cos I was on the same night out as him but not out with him, so I knew who did nick his drink), I stopped thinking he was just argumentative, and realised he was a bit screwed up with smoking cannabis to obsession

That's where I realised all the warnings about schizophrenia

Apart from that, I'm with you on it. If you get benefit from it and controlled, you like it, who am I, or the government to stop you

Easiest thing about it all is, the stuff's practically legal anyway. You're never short in supply of it are ya?

Wouldn't surprise me if this government actively launders it on the sly
