I harm my body by eating too much junk food and being overweight or obese depending on my weight that day.
But weed is good.
Not a gateway drug. I'm a pot head, not a junky. Lots of pain killers have led to a heroin epidemic in some cities in recent years. Weed has never caused such a problem.
Long-term brain damage? I think I'm less dumb than I was before I started smoking weed. However, maybe that's because my brain has been damaged so much that I don't know what stupid is or can't remember how smart I used to be. If you want better proof that weed doesn't cause brain damage, check out pictures of Shakespeare and Einstein. If those dudes didn't smoke weed, I don't know what was up with the hair. Einstein looked like he blew all his comb money on weed, and Shakespeare looked a lot like a pimp.
Extremely addictive? Really? I manage to make it through work every day with no urge to smoke the herb. The butt smokers run out the door to get their hit as soon as break comes. One problem with weed is, if used every day, it stops being very potent. So I generally only smoke a couple times a week and sometimes give it up for months at a time. How many tobacco smokers and alkies do you know who can use their drug just a couple times a week and then stop?
Alcohol leads to all kinds of problems. There is a reason everybody knows an alkie we all wish would go to AA, and I don't know a single person who needs to go to Pot Heads Anonymous meetings.
Tobacco is so addictive. I've seen people who smoke with pneumonia. If I had pneumonia, smoking weed wouldn't even be a thought. I don't even smoke when I have a cold.
Alcohol and tobacco have killed a lot of people. Weed? I don't know. Maybe somebody died from eating too many Twinkies?
There is no long-term solution to anything. Weed gets a lot of people through a lot of days with minimal side effects. It is certainly better than any pharmaceutical pain killer.
Now, I'll get off this topic.
Go San Diego Chargers. Smoke the draft.
My attentions are not to hijack this thread.
I also agree with you that medicinal marijuana can be an alternative to pain killers in the long term. They are both considered controlled substances.
Nor am I trying to dissuade you for using marijuana.
Just wanted to highlight some areas of concern from long term pot use.
Yes, some people can smoke pit and suffer very little from it.
Just be mindful that the THC levels in today's pot is much much more concentrated than 30 years ago.
And yes, eating like shit, smoking cigs and drinking gin and juice will ultimately kill you.

I would hate to be the one that had the final call on who to draft.
Telesco sure seemed bummed that he couldn't find trade partners.
