    Is this like an elitism, looking down on people who use cannabis type thing?

    Yep.

    But you keep believing made-up stuff. Rhino horns have been used as an aphrodisiac for centuries. And dried tiger penis? You think that’s has magical effects too? Let me guess, you think that there’s a magical central energy force in the center of your body too?

    Do you think that it’s good luck to have your furniture facing a specific direction so you can get “good energy” in your house and not evil energy? LMAO

    Brah, it’s all fucking bunk. A plant that gets you high. That’s it. It’s not magic. It’s not healthy. The oil isn’t magic. It doesn’t fucking do shit for healing. Just admit you like to get high and most of the magical qualities that you all push was just to get it normalized so it’d be legal. Hemp makes good clothes and paper. Regular weed gets you high. That’s all there is to it.

    Dude, I’m with you. I voted for legalization. I think it should be legal. But it’s not healing or magic. Stop.

      There are medical applications != “healing magic”

      If you use your eyes and your big boy brain to read things, you’ll see that basically every culture has found medical applications for cannabis.

      You clearly will disregard any history or science that comes your way, because you’ve dug in your heels and found something to make you feel better than some caricature you’ve invented in your head.

      I’m not going to address any of the false equivalencies you’ve presented because as stated, you’re speaking from a place of imagined elitism and not intellectual honesty.

        And your speaking for a place of pro-weed elitism. My opinion is just as valid as yours. You keep smoking, tho. I’ll keep standing for your right to do it. But I’ll keep mocking people who get high. :)

          Your opinion isn’t as valid as anyone’s because it isn’t based on facts. I haven’t even indicated if I smoke. I haven’t given an opinion at all in fact.

          I actually haven’t said anything for or against weed either way, only acknowledged that it does in fact have medical uses. Which is a fact.

          This is a very libertarian approach to reality, as long as it makes you feel better than someone else it must be true right?
