I mean with you and other folks like you I'm willing to believe that it isn't just pure degeneracy and that this stuff helps you in ways we're just beginning to understand. It all needs more study.

I fit the degenerate billing, 0 fricks given. My body like yours, is littered with cannabinoid receptors everywhere, cb1's and cb2's. Either we were designed this way or we evolved to it because it was a desirable trait. Either way, don't care, it is what it is.

That said I dislike the stoners who now just use "muh conditions" to justify their weed habits. I dislike the smell, the culture associated with it, and how it dulls people's minds.

The culture is indeed questionable, but I'll disagree on the other points. The smell is fantastic. I love the variance in terpene and flavinoid profiles. As to the dulls the mind, Columbia university did a series of tests with putting puzzles together and things of that ilk. Basically only showed a ~10% increase in time to complete tasks. None were unable to complete tasks they performed sober vs being actively high. Not all test subjects were regular mj users either. Luckily life gave me a grandpa who was chief engineer of the 3rd stage of the saturn v, the saturn iv-b. He literally put mf'ers on the moon and our first manned space station into orbit. Other grandpa graduated Kenyon college at 19. Even while "dulled," I'm still doing pretty ok... as long as we aren't judging by where did i set my keys

I also understand this is not normal, but it's the cards I was dealt. Had several customers finish grad school as smokers, a couple were ivy leaguers.

I also don't think that it's as safe as it's being sold, you're still inhaling particulate matter and that still causes cancer.

How much particulate matter would one be exposed to with edibles? Probably similar to how much I see with double water filtration. There are so many easily accessible everyday products that are infinitely worse for you, up to and including our water supply. But not mine, my water comes directly from the same aquifer nestle/zephyrhills get theirs. I shite in spring water
