The thing about pot is that it was demonized for so long that now people seem to be going the complete opposite way with this idea that it can do no wrong.

Ironically enough Dr. Drew Pinsky has cited many times that pot use among teens who are still developing can easily stunt brain development weather it be in terms of critical thinking or coping with emotions.

On top of that a lot of the benefits are negated due to the fact that a lot of people championing the benefits of pot are smoking it rather then safely vaporizing it. Thats like me eating a pound of lean hamburger in one sitting and then saying it's healthy because it's low fat.

Either way I think theres a lot of misinformation out there. Before it was a drug that would make you commit mass murder now it's a drug that cures practically everything.
