What is now known about the effects of long-term smoking of cannabis is
far too worrying to be lightheared about it. Imo.


And it's all the idiots who use it for recreational purposes that then
make it difficult to obtain for treating conditions such as MS.


Actually, no, sorry. The prejudice against and demonisation of
cannabis started something like a century ago, and I have absolutely
no idea why. It used to be part of the British Pharmacopeia, but
has been significantly more restricted than morphine, heroin and
cocaine for a century. It's very odd.
