Eh, fair enough. I’ll concede that the stuff from legal states is not safe: as a medical user, when I finally got my card and was able to get access to medical, I noticed a remarkable difference in how I felt before, during, and after, compared to the stuff I got from friends in recreational states. Why? Because the recreational industry focuses on THC. They strive to max out the THC levels, and totally disregard the rest of the cannabinoids, making for a not good time, especially long-term/heavy use. Yeah, high THC is cool, but have you tried high Beta Myrcene? They grab on to a buzzword and drive it into the ground to its own detriment. Those of us that are educated on cannabis know it takes an entourage effect. This is why I think it needs to be made fully legal, but either heavily regulated so the corpos can’t ruin it further, or keep a medical program that knows what it’s doing.
Also: nothing in existence is 100% “safe”. Anything can kill/harm you. Let’s not be stupidly pedantic.

This if anything is stupidly pedantic. Yes, everybody knows nothing is literally 100% safe, but there’s a big difference between claiming cannabis is completely harmless and that eg. water is completely harmless. I really don’t understand why people get so incredibly defensive over the idea that maybe the psychoactive drug they’re ingesting might possibly have harmful effects. Frankly if anything is stupid it’s treating harm reduction as “pedantry”
