And yet, they approve things like Seroquel. Which is way more dangerous than weed. Not that I would want to abuse either one, and it is better to remove the source of the problem instead of using weed, even medical weed, to mask it. Vitamins help with that, and learning a foreign language (other than that curse on mankind called hebrew, of course) in your 50s might help prevent you from needing medical weed in your 70s.
But, whose business is it besides those who use the stuff? No one. Yes, there are consequences for using weed. It will ruin your brain and your liver. Like all drugs, there are side effects (and some are serious). But, since I am not the one to suffer from these effects, it is none of my business if you smoke weed (if you toke and drive, however, as with drink driving, then it becomes my business because it affects the safety of everyone else).
As weed is a drug, it is dangerous. But, not so dangerous as other heavily prescribed psychiatric drugs. Xanax, Prozac, Paxil, Seroquel--all are way more dangerous than weed. Yet, the washtowel, as judgmental as they are, permit these extremely dangerous poisons that ruin your soul worse than even weed. Obviously, they create many of the conditions requiring medical weed in the first place. Mandatory field circus and boasting session attendance, strict dress codes that are not even relaxed on Zoom, unnatural dating rules, strict rules on your choice of music, not taking vitamins that would help (such as with your immune system, with whatever coronavirus might be going around), and so on help ensure you to need drugs later on. And the less dangerous drugs are banned by the washtowel, ensuring people will need the worst of them.
Sounds like the hydroxychloroquine ban. This takes this relatively safe drug (though it can still be dangerous if abused--it is about as safe as ibuprofen when correctly used) away, ensuring the more dangerous and expensive Remdesivir is "needed" which does virtually nothing. (Not to mention the even more dangerous DNA altering vaccine that they will be requiring, for a disease that a cheap and relatively safe drug--or a supplement like quercetin--would treat much more effectively. Ban these, and go straight to the more dangerous stuff--just like the washtowel banning medical weed so they can require more dangerous Seroquel.
