You know that it was accurate, because you can't respond to what I actually said, so you resort to insults. Cool, that's pretty much to be expected.

I am not that insecure to start the old do you even know what that means routine. So obvious as just a veiled way to insult folks that makes you no different than me then. See the hypocrisy?

2 points:
1. Just because socially-accepted alcohol is bad for your health doesn’t mean marijuana is somehow good for your health. Both alcohol and marijuana are bad for your health.
2. Studies in recent years have shown correlation between chronic marijuana use and increased prevalence of anxiety, paranoia, and schizophrenia. Correlation does not necessarily equal causation, but we do society a disservice if we ignore and hide this correlation. The risk of brain damage should be a reason why many people (pilots, surgeons, truck drivers, police, etc) should avoid marijuana.
