Legalize marijuana. I would love to see more research on the benefits of marijuana and even microdosing mushrooms as an alternative to treat certain conditions that big pharmaceutical companies treat. There can be more holistic ways to treat a lot of our mental illnesses, body pains, chronic inflammation, etc. more research for how these things could be safely used by the people. As a former alcoholic who grew up with an alcoholic father and watched my dad quit drinking by smoking marijuana and how much better of a person he is for it has made me realize that marijuana has benefits to it when done safely. It should be treated here the same as alcohol in my opinion as far as how we buy it after we turn 21 etc. but alcohol is by far more dangerous than marijuana and I can speak on personal experience from that. People driving under the influence of marijuana is nowhere near as dangerous as people driving under the influence of alcohol and yet alcohol is glorified and sold on ever corner. Just like how some medicines aren’t good for some people but work for others…I believe it is the same for marijuana and people should have access to it just as easily as they do alcohol. It is far less dangerous. The stigma around marijuana has to be lifted. It’s not an evil drug like meth and crack. It is a natural source of anxiety relief for some people, pain relief, helps with sleep and can even help some people be more productive and open their creative side.

Agreed. Marijuana can be a huge help to those who need or want it. Let’s get the Nanny State out of the lives of adults. We can make our own health decisions. I would even extend this to psychedelics such as mushrooms. This is not to say that these things are without risk, only that we should be able to decide for ourselves.
