    Just because other things are worse doesn’t mean cannabis is good

    Sorry I gave you that impression but that’s not my point. My comparison is not necessarily meant to paint cannabis as good. (And so what if it did, anyway, what’s wrong with that as a fine drug of choice?) I’m saying its side effects are more manageable compared to the side effects of other recreational drugs to the point of them feeling like a minor inconvenience. When I feel bad, I quit cold turkey and it all goes away in a couple of days. That has never failed me (or many people I know who take breaks) in ten-plus years of mixed use. But ask them about cigarettes and they straight-up complain they can’t stop.

    That’s all I’m saying. I would never say that it’s for everyone or that it’ll be necessarily good for you to consume it in whatever form. I don’t actively recommend cannabis. Fine if you do and fine if you don’t. But let’s not exaggerate the effects.

    Edited for clarity.
