Marijuana is claimed to be a completely safe drug by the left and libertarians. With "no side effects" and causes little health problems. I admit to using a fair share in college.
But what about MENTAL Health? They seem to gloss over the fact that pretty much all heavy weed users end up extremely paranoid, and start believing in conspiracy theories.
I only have anecdotal evidence, and I know libs will prob just say I'm lying or its not scientific, BUT everyone I know who smokes weed regularly; believes in insane conspiracy theories! All of them!
They all universally believe in the illuminati. Often reference the "system at work". Implying a small group of people are pulling all the strings.
They are all anti-LE. Saying the cops are "watching them" at all times. I had a pothead friend of mine stand on his porch stoop and tell me that every car that passed by was a 'undercover cop.' And they were constantly watching him........
And it doesn't end there. They become so paranoid of police, they start supporting anti-police policies and other liberal ideas. They start voting lock and step with Dems because they have become so detached from reality. I had a solidly conservative friend, literally smoke himself into a stupid liberal.
This kind of paranoia and CT belief run afoul leads to insanity. Would full legalization of a product that can make you go crazy a good idea?
