9. Yep. More of the traditionalists trying desperately to tarnish cannabis.

They cannot stand the fact that there is a plant that can help with many physical and mental issues instead of having to take a pill for each issue. Especially when anyone can grow it! What about the monopoly of Big Pharma? How can those CEOs afford that tenth mansion in The Hamptons if we start treating ourselves with things that do not require five other things to combat the side effects of the first one? No, cannabis is not for everyone. Despite the constant propaganda from certain industries, nothing is. Yet, they will make sure we never see anything simple and natural as more than a massively bad thing that may have one good use. I am sorry that you are now in the same boat as all of us who have had to live for decades with this lunacy... a lunacy which is solely driven by greed.

(No, I am not denying the dangers. I am saying that they are being severely overhyped for effect.)
