Of course cannabis has side effects and consequences. So does aspirin, acetaminophen, ibuprofen. Nobody is advocating for daily use in large quantities. Every person I've dealt with that abused it to that degree seemed to have dimished concentration and short term memory problems along with often a general malaise ("screw it" attitude). I do not advocate for its abuse and never have.Trust me, weed has side effects and consequences. I see all this new buzz about weed being side effect free and has no down side.
Δ⁹THC (delta 9-tetrahydrocannibinol), Δ⁹THCA, Δ⁸THC (D8), CBD, CBDA, CBN, and various other cannabinoids and terpenes have been isolated and studied extensively in regular users and occasional users for at least 50 years. Some have psychotropic side effects and some do not. We know THC has psychotropic side effects with heavy use (abuse) and metabolites can be detected up to 90 days after heavy use. We know exactly what those side effects are. It's highly unlikely for something unexpected to appear at this point. It's been used for thousands of years. Do you have anything to support this claim?In several years as weed is more studied and understood you will be hearing more of the down sides.
Do you mean legal repercussions or...?Its foolish to think that something that can alter your mental state to the capacity of weed and still think it will have no repercussion.
