Please address what that means. Way to open ended. Here are some starting points for you:

Safe for what? In relation to what? In what intake manner? Where? When? How? Cite your scientific method data sources. Is your statement based only on outside credible sources or combined with your own testing and research. If you are going to throw down blanket statements, we want some background on why you make this statement.

How do you like this then? When used in moderation, both marijuana and alcohol provide very little benefit or risk to health or safety. When used in excess, both can cause serious risk. People like to demonize weed and portray recreational users as drug addicts when they’re not. We live in a society where alcohol and tobacco are responsible for over 500,000 deaths per year, where our high carb/sugar diet has caused an explosion in type 2 diabetes, yet weed is what we demonize.

I explained it in the second sentence. And later, when I wrote: “See also: alcohol is safe”

You're right, so do shrooms and alcohol, but that discussion will have to wait for another thread.

Well in a few weeks to months won't matter and we can all toke up without fear of a random...at least those of us in the lower 20 percent seniority list.

Well said. The people that demonize plants also eat too much soy and never lift heavy.
