Since states started legalizing marijuana, there has been no detectable social harm. Predictions that legal weed would have catastrophic consequences have turned out to be hyperbolic.

Bullshit. You can’t walk -or drive- five minutes without smelling burning skunk turd. We’ve basically normalized sedation as a day-long activity. And we still don’t know what effect this will have on developing brains.

Smelling weed everywhere has been a catastrophic consequence. You guys think it's appropriate for people to be smoking weed in public when children are around?

I've seen it first hand when that shit passed in AZ a smoke shop opened up on the main road near where I lived 2 years later the stores next to it are gone and there are homeless encampments in all the unused parking lots around. So you can spin the numbers however you want

The growth of CHS, early onset schizophrenia and psychosis are kinda.. yanno. bad.

"No detectable social harm?" You are incorrect. 1) Reefer madness: NY issues weed warning guide as ER visits skyrocket — especially among little kids The state Health Department last week released an eye-opening report that found emergency-room visits for cannabis poisoning has skyrocketed since New York legalized weed in the past decade — first for medicinal purposes in 2016 and then for adults in 2021. Pediatric hospital visits involving cannabis and children under age 5 specifically surged more than 1,600% since 2016. 2) Pediatric Cannabis Poisoning Calls Rose 3,307% in 25 Years, National Data Show A 25-year analysis of United States poison center calls found that unintentional ingestions of recreational drugs among children younger than 6 rose 3,307 percent since 2000, overwhelmingly driven by cannabis edibles. Most exposures were mild, but 5 percent were severe and six children died.

Not quite. Gang violence and territorial fights over market segments in Sweden and Germany. Fake weed sales in Switzerland (non THC Hemp sprayed with synthetic Cannabinol.) And on and on. If you don't shut the black market down, all sorts of criminal things happen.

Solid segment

This is hugely important in these times. The prohibition gang knows their grift is dying and they're reaching and manipulating in an attempt to lie their way out of the hole. This kind of literacy is desperately needed now. Keep up the great work! 🫡

As a former weed smoker you are incorrect. It does harm society. Should people be locked up for using it? No, but it shouldn't be socially acceptable either.

The number of drug addicts increased not decreased. 100k people are dying of drug overdose. It has been a disaster for society. Infact the greatest proponent @nytimes said it was a mistake. Maybe 1 million people dying is what you would consider catastrophic

"No detectable harm". You are wrong. WHO updates its assessment of cannabis risks for the first time in ten years Kyiv • UNN August 26 2026, Around 250 million people used cannabis in 2024. WHO warns of growing risks of dependence, psychosis and heart problems. The WHO notes that new research confirms a link between cannabis use and an increased likelihood of psychotic episodes, especially among people with a genetic predisposition. The updated review also addresses the physical consequences of cannabis use, ranging from respiratory problems to cardiovascular risks. The document concludes: "Smoking cannabis may trigger coronary problems in young people who are, in principle, at low risk."

A lot of areas stink of weed, a lot more. 🤷‍♂️

Half the country is just stupider. That’s all.

All these anti canninas comments have no problem throwing numerous melatonin gummies in their mouth daily.or🍺.. 🤦

@MarijuanaPolicy ..hyperbolic along the same lines of “harm” as Haitians eating pets and wide spread voter impersonation fraud..

@jamiecampbell This little old lady from #Texas would like a word.

Stop gaslighting!

Are you retards smoking pot? Is there anything worse for the male gender than pot and porn?

No way.

@grok I'm sure critics strongly disagree. What catastrophic consequences do critics point to?

we the people- NEED TO HAVE A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT, PERIOD.

What strain are you smoking?

"No detectable social harm?" You are incorrect "The new CHS-specific diagnosis code has improved CHS surveillance and estimation of public health impact." "During January 2023–May 2026, a total of 199,565 ED visits involved CHS" " The abrupt, sustained increase might partly reflect improved recognition and coding of CHS rather than a true rise in incidence. These findings highlight a likely underestimated impact of CHS, suggesting the need to strengthen education about the risks associated with frequent cannabis use, expand ongoing surveillance efforts, and improve clinical recognition of CHS through continuing medical education and implementation of routine cannabis use assessment in ED settings"
