Legalization of marijuana causes paranoia

If you read about marijuana and you are a non-user you may have the impression that it causes paranoia or that users are afflicted with reefer madness or lethargy. All of these are extreme stereotypes, believe me. I must confess that it seems that the non-users are the ones with paranoia, and that they are ill informed at best. I guess it will take some time (sigh) for people to accept that many people are using it responsibly and have been for many years. By the way it is up to the individual user to decide what strain to use and what effects you want to have. Also even if you do have a slightly negative experience it will likely be gone within an hour or two hours. It is far safer than many other substances that are in common usage and has far less side effects than say the prescription drugs on tv. Please, have common sense if you decide to use marijuana, and do it with caution if you have never used it before. At the same time, I hope that those who knowingly spread negative information about marijuana use and users can eventually be charged with hate crime and discrimination because for many people it is a safe and wisely used medication now legal

It’s exactly what the govt wants

A population that is stoned, slow and won’t fight back. You’re being neutered and you’re willing signing up for it. The govt wants a passive nation so that the rich continue to get rich off the backs of the working people. Go ahead and get stoned. Don’t complain to me when your job get automated, you have no union to protect you and climate change destroys your livelihood.

Mixed feelings about your post. I'm not sure the Gov would want that because it's counterproductive for the economy when you're on the couch playing video games or watching cartoons but a nation on drugs certainly helps when the Gov tries to undermine democracy when no one cares.

"Neutered" "Stoned" "Slow" "Passive"
You are perpetuating the same BS the OP is talking about. I myself am sick of it, it's insulting. I'm none of the above and never have been. The government isn't doing anything to me. It's my choice.

You even been around someone that has eaten too much? That's some high level bad trip stuff so yes people should be made aware and be very careful.

It’s just ridiculous that people are still perpetuating that stupid reefer madness nonsense! The majority of the people I know who use pot are senior level professionals who are highly functional and active. To say that everyone who uses pot is some kind of lazy addict is no different than saying that everyone who uses alcohol is an alcoholic . Wake up and educate yourselves people.

“Senior level executives” offered up as synonymous with “responsible sane adult”. Not sure that logic holds up.
Common sense is not and never has been the prerogative of the high. No, not even the little bit high or the “responsibly” high.
The pot conversation became full on pot promotion within the last 18 months. Pot has the pockets to have purchased conventional media i.e. to have set the narrative (what we receive by way of information on the subject and how).
The pot discussion itself having lost all objectivity at least two years prior when pot was positioned to be sold for moral consumption. Money is difficult bait for any entertainment print medium on financial life support to resist.
Media in general very vulnerable at best of times to propaganda.
The pot “story” inserted into spaces supposed to be reserved for unbiased reporting. “Stories” are conjured to suggest very definite thinking down very definite lines.
Attitudes form from the narrative reinforced in coffee shops and water coolers and pretty soon (shout a lie loud enough long enough) pot is almost as benign as mother’s milk.
What’s not being reported in all this whitewashing/stove-piping?
For starters, how much of the life pot will consume of the person who allows it factor into their health. How much time the “discriminating” user flushes away (invested) of his own balanced condition and of his own capacity for sane (sober) mental reasoning as he arrives at his pseudo-stoned “discriminating” medium (a happy “medium” soaking up the social validation the courts have “won” for him unable as he is in his highly “discriminating” state to find validation in any other way - especially inwardly.).
Even now, our pot-hero of the day is out thinking about, if not actually oiling it up, growing it up, or considering it heavily, or lighting up, or stumping for; or involvled in the long process of coming off thinking he is high - a time during which he was mostly completely unreliable where sane reasoning is required (a length of time not nearly as long as is required for the body to mentally rebalance from a “hit” a term that’s exactly, from the point of view of sobriety (the body in a net neutral state of chemical emotional muscular balance), what it is.
Pot is insidious.
