well yeah of course its better to live drug free....point is that isn't reality today - China/MCartel/Fentanyl is absolutely winning. How do you truly reverse the pendulum given the landscape today?
thought stems from THC deaths over millennia - much better than fentanyl OD like right away.
Convincing a true drug addict in his prime that he is wrong and needs a new path then following thru with all of that is not going to happen. You need to coax them with for instance potency numbers (unknown is how different is THC from THC2-5 on human body/behavior. But it's a drug that is not in circulation there is no market So you do it right and you can cut the desire for fentanyl at consumer level and that always works back to the producer.
Is it the absolute best front to back? No
Is it better than current trajectory of fentanyl BS? I have a belief so.
Would it wreak havoc on some very bad intentioned people?
Would it shift power away from the people who truly desire to harm America?
Would it even be illegal in say CO?

has potential IMO.
The only people weed has ever killed is doing something stupid stoned. You can't physically smoke or eat enough to die.
Mushrooms are the same. At a certain point the chemicals in your brain are depleted and you can't get any higher. As a side effect, you need to wait a week between full doses or you won't get much if any effect.
The reason weed isn't addictive is that it stays in your system for up to a month. Stopping cold turkey isn't a big deal for a habitual user because your body is basically being weaned by doing nothing. By not having any detox symptoms, it's easy to walk away from the mental addiction.
Mental addiction is different than physical. Those with weak minds and low self control will be mentally addicted to basically anything they like.
Mental health is the root cause of most of drug abuse. Because it's legal here, once a year or so I'll get good and stoned with some buddies. I see the attraction, as I get good and relaxed and just melt into a chair for the evening.
I don't do it on the regular because it's only fun for me as a novelty. It would just get boring as fuck every day.
Meanwhile my wife used to use a vape so she could take a puff or two to put her to sleep. She changed her job and routine and hasn't used it since, as it was anxiety from the job causing her sleeplessness. A little dose of THC was enough to quiet the voices and get over the anxiety.
It also shows in other places. I can sit in my house with a fully stocked fridge and liquor cabinet, and not drink for months. Then I'll have a few every night or two for months. Just depends on my mood and what's going on.
