when the herb kicked in and your rig sounds perfect

There are simply zero reliable "longitudinal studies" showing increased death from cannabis use...none. Period. And there is also zero evidence of physical addiction to cannabis unlike alcohol...this sort of nonsense comes up here and there and it’s simply silliness unsupported by facts. A 25% addiction rate is pure fiction...nobody gets delirium tremors or "cold turkey" sickness when stopping even heavy use of pot...nobody anywhere ever. I remember years ago when some emergency room patients in CT had blood tests revealing cannabis in their systems (which can show up days after consumption) and that generated a headline stating that "Pot use leads to emergency rooms." Yeah...that...keep away from stoned chain saw use...

Alchohol annually kills 70,000 or so people in this country alone, and pot hasn't been shown to have killed anybody anywhere. You can't say that about many common drugs including aspirin. It's by definition "non toxic" and has the unique properties of not being physically addictive (you may be mentally "addicted" to all sorts of things but that's absolutely not the same) and self limiting, in that generally being too high is uncomfortable (common when taken as an "edible" as the way your body processes pot through the digestive system is different from the lungs). Those are the facts. I smoke my legal weed here and there including when listening to music, and, of course, know many other successful and brilliant adults who enjoy it. The opiate scourge rages on amongst those unfortunate enough to be trapped in that habit, but other than being therapeutic for some in recovery, pot plays no role in that stuff. Get ready for the surge in therapeutic psychedelics as they've been shown to provide near miraculous results in relieving depression and addiction, among other things.
