it's not realistic to not smoke weed until later in life?
It's not realistic or even reasonable to avoid all pleasurable activities that come with risks, which weed falls under, until an entire third of your life is over, no.
We let people under 25 play contact sports, drink alcohol, and consume large quantities of sugar, all indulgences potentially more detrimental to the body than Marijuana.
Look at all the research on contact sports and the massive risks they bring, it's weird to me those are still legal for kids.
Ah, so we allow lots of other detrimental and dangerous things, so we shouldn't be so persnickety about this either. That's what you're saying. We should overindulge, not be overcautious.
Mayhaps if people were less of a bitch about it, it would be realistic and reasonable.
Cumulative head injuries will harm a brain far worse than cannabis.
