I'm pro-MJ and think when used responsibly it can be a nice little recreational substance, plus maybe even help some people with chronic pain/nausea/etc with *fewer* side effects than the regular pharmaceuticals normally used for those conditions. But the hardcore pro-MJ activists guys who say it can save the world and that it's perfectly 100% absolutely harmless are just as off-base as the OP here. The truth is complicated and full of nuance & gray areas, something that most of society has trouble with.
