You’re right you should not smoke these plants but both do have medicinal uses.

"The study found that rates of emphysema, airway inflammation and enlarged breast tissue were higher in marijuana than in tobacco smokers. The scans showed that 75% of the marijuana smokers had emphysema. Slightly less than 70% of tobacco-only smokers had emphysema, while only 5% of nonsmokers had it."
I think I’ve discovered the core of our debt problem:

If they don’t come out of publik skool apathetic and psychotic, they can get some legal weed later to accomplish it.
What a total BS argument that since weed is “less dangerous” than alcohol it should be made legal. In fact, your whole argument is BS. Any serious look at weed shows it is not a benign product and there is little empirical evidence of it’s medicinal qualities. It’s got a loud stoner lobby and sympathetic press that has propagandized it into a mythical cure all, to the detriment of society.
And I don’t give a rat’s posterior that “TRUMP SUPPORTS MEDICAL POT”. He supported and fast tracked the Covid death jabs too, so I’m not considering him a reliable medical authority. He defended Disney and Bud Light, among other things, so I’m not going to take him as the paragon of societial wisdom either.
Read this and educate yourself.

$100 Million can cause a lot of stupidity what next free weed for 4th graders.
I never did claim that there are no plants with medicinal value...
There is a difference between using plants for bonafide purposes vs using them to alter your mind for a cheap thrill or high! One is medicinal the other is dangerous.
LOL! How much of that pot is being used by their students?
God gave us those plants, but not the wisdom as to how to use them. That’s up to us.
